28.

xiomara's p.o.v:

"so what about that date?" mika asked me out of nowhere. "how did you know?" i asked.

"i heard catlina and you talk," she said worried. "hopefully she's fine. i couldn't go inside because adrian was kissing the daylights out of me," she added. i rolled my eyes at her.

"well zach and i are going on a date at 6 so," she nodded.

"do you want me to do your makeup?" i shook my head no. i don't really like makeup but i only use during special ocassions.

"alright, well i'm going to get checked up for my future baby," she said excitedly. i nodded and continued walking towards my room.

well i'm very nervous about this date. i never really went on a date so it's new. what if i do some clumsily bullshit? hopefully he accepts me for my weirdness.

i was getting more nervous so i decided to play some music while i'm getting ready. i played seperated by oshi, i really like the bass of this song.

the dress that catlina gave me is a dress. it showed my curves which i really didn't like so i covered it up with a grey big jacket. i also wore grey long boots. well time to do my hair.

i looked at myself in the mirror, i sighed.

"will zach accept me for who i truly am?" i asked out loud. i sighed again. i shook any thoughts off. i'm going to try to be happy just for today. it's currently 5:20 so i still have time. i closed my eyes for a few seconds.

"xiomara," a voice that i knew spoke.

"hey," i replied.

"hello honey. good luck with your date," she chuckled.

"will he accept me? hell, we just met. but why so soon? i'm not ready. he won't accept the real me," i said unsure. i heard her laugh.

"he'll accept you. love can happen anytime but the question is, can you accept him?" wait what?

"what do you mean?"

"you're not the only broken one," that was all she said. this time i didn't fall off a cliff. i just opened my eyes. i sighed in relief.

i looked at myself again, what the fuck is going on with me? i shook any thoughts off again.

i had no idea what to do my hair but i just let it down. i never really realized my features. i have blue eyes, black straight hair, small face. my features never really attracted anyone, i wasn't a model or anything. fuck that, i'm more of a football player.

oh shit, i forgot football season's starting soon. i miss playing football, nobody really knows about me playing football except for mika and catlina. playing football gives me freedom. so many people make fun of girls who play football. there was one guy who didn't let me play football just because i'm a girl.

guess what? he ended up being in the hospital, with 5 months into a coma. never judge a gender on what they can or can't do.

it's 5:58 already, shit. i started to get ready and fixed myself for anything that was messed up. i heard a knock on my door. i'm guessing it's zach. i checked myself out again. i opened the door.

god damn, what a handsome ass man standing in front of me. he smiled. that smile.
