Crazy Differences Between Us

Amelia Ch.13

I honestly wasn't expecting Carter to ask me the way he did. I didn't even expect him to ask me. I mean, it was mandatory for us to go together since we were running mates, but he went all out.

Even Joey knew about it. And Joey sucks at keeping secrets. I mean Carter must've told him right before the plan was in motion.

The only question is, how did Carter know about One Direction? Silly, I know, but still, it's one of my major secrets.

Speaking of One Direction, I'm currently jamming out to them as I'm in my car heading towards school. I'm actually in an okay mood, for it being a Monday that is.

This week is "homecoming/spirit week", so everyday we have dressup days. Today, which is pajama day, has to be my favorite by far. In honor of our HoCo theme, Starry Night, I'm wearing my blue pj's with stars on them. My only hope is that no one thinks I'm going for the Cowboys.

I did my hair in a messy bun, since we were supposed to be "all natural". I didn't wear any makeup, and even wore my glasses instead of my contacts.

Carter told me he would meet me at the front of the school, and then afterschool (after his football practice, of course) we would once again go dress shopping. I seriously think he has more fun during dress shopping then I do. It's kinda cute, but creepy in a way.

I head towards the front of the school, and awkwardly stand in front of the door I seriously look like a freshman on the first day of school. I pull out my phone and as I'm about to send Carter a text, I feel a tap on my shoulder.

I turn around, and come to find a grinning Carter. I look at what he's wearing and I realize we match. Not exactly, but partially. He's wearing pajama pants that have stars, but they're black.

"I've been waiting for you," he says.

"Not true! I've been waiting here."

"Well I was over there." He points toward the bycicle rack, and I realize that some of his football buddies are standing there.

"Alright let's go to class then."

It's my free period now, and Alexis and I are talking about homecoming and how I, and Carter, still need to "campaign".

"Alright! Enough about Carter. Who are you going to homecoming with?" I ask Alexis

"I don't know!" She faked sobbed." I mean like 3 guys asked me but I don't like them," she continued. "I'm waiting for the love of my life to ask me to homecoming."

Talking about Joey was still a touchy subject with us, but I mean I wouldn't exactly be mad if they dated. It'd be cute.

"If you're waiting for Joey to ask, sorry to burst your bubble, but he's going with Brittany or Ashley... I'm not sure I can never remember," I tell her.

She sighs dramatically. I basically see her having heart shaped eyes like they do in cartoons. I literally don't know what I'm going to do with her.

We stay quiet for awhile, Alexis in her daydream, and I thinking about dresses for homecoming. Before we know it, the bell rings.

"Alright, bye. I'll text you later." I tell Alexis.

"Tell me how your shopping with Carter goes!" She responds.

Afterschool, I go to a meeting for mathclub. It's barely 4:45, and Carter said to meet him at the field by 5. I'll just go watch their practice.

I grab my things and begin heading over to the football field. It's not too far from the senior building so I get their pretty quickly.

I mean, being on this team means major dedication, but it also comes with some perks. The school allows them to get out of their last period class early, because they have to be on the field by 3:50 and school ends at 3:45.
