Second Chances At Love

5

The following week..

Today is the day that Jason and I go on our first actual date as a couple. It makes me nervous because I have been waiting for this day for a while. Also, because today is Saturday and Saturday's are like our "date days".

I'm like legit excited because I get excited really easy over anything. But I found out that volleyball tryouts are on Tuesday so I'm going to practice tomorrow at the park with Sophia. Hopefully if we can because I think it's supposed to rain tomorrow. Oops.

Volleyball was my thing in 9th grade. I was the tallest in the team. I'm 5'9. That's like really tall to some people which was okay because I love being tall. Jason is 6'1. He's like a freaking giraffe. But our height difference isn't big. I mean it's like 3 inches or so.

I wanted to try out for the team last year when I had the chance but I was so focused on school that it was going to be hard for me. But this year, I'm going to tryout! Hopefully I get on the team. *crosses fingers*

This weekend was a long weekend. Labor Day weekend! Barbeques! But thank God, I need a break already. It's been wild at school. I don't have to stress out this weekend because I'm going to be with Jason. Yay!!

9:36 a.m.

Beep!

I wonder who that can be. Hmm. Hahaha.

Jason: Good morning, love.

Me: Morning.

Jason: Wyd?

Me: Literally just got up.

Jason: Oh I'm sorry I woke you up :(

Me: It's okay. I'm glad you did!

Ever since the whole incident last week, Jason has been overprotective of me. Always asking me if I'm okay. But in a good way, though. It could never be in a bad way because he's my boyfriend now so he's going to be like that. I don't blame him.

I can really use the overprotectiveness now. But that's why you're shown how much someone loves you, right? Yeah. He's the best.

Our date is at 4:00 tonight and I'm already crapping my pants. I mean we've hanged out before many times but this is our real first date. He says he has surprises for me which I love surprises so I have no clue what we're dont today. I don't know if I'm dressing casual like a shirt and jeans or should I just wear a little dress?

Dress. Of course. Duhhh. But I'm excited, though.

I got up and I hear Sophia laughing at her phone. Interesting. I've been seeing her with a boy in the hallways. I wonder if that's him that she's texting. It'll be awesome for her to have a crush on someone. She's at the age to do so.

"Who's the guy?" I asked.

"Eric," she answered.

Awww.

"Aww."

"We've been talking a lot but I don't think he wants to date me."

"What makes you say that?"

"Oh please. No one does."

In my head, I am shocked to hear her say that. She's like the coolest girl I know. Why wouldn't anyone date her? She's awesome. Sophia is so fun to be around with.

"That's not true, Sop. There is someone for everyone."

"Yeah, yeah. Easy for you to say. You have Jason."

Well that's true.

"I think if you just be yourself, someone will like you," I said.

Sophia like anime and video games. Fortnite, especially. I'll play it with her sometimes but she loves it. There are many guys in school who would like her for that.
