Misfit

Chapter 13

13
The next day was a Saturday. When I woke up I had a messed message and four missed calls...all from Matt.
Matt-'Hey,good morning. I know that you might be asleep but I was wondering if you wanted to go on a walk and hang out today. It's fine if you're busy.'
Lola-'I'm not busy. But I'll need an hour to get ready. Want to have pancakes when you get here?'
Matt-'I would but I just finished breakfast. I'll meet you outside your house in an hour.'
Lola-'Ok. See you then.'
I knew that I shouldn't have been so excited because he still technically had a girlfriend. But being around him makes me happy. So I don't care about Sarah at the moment. Matt and I haven't really talked about what is happening between us. I mean he's still with Sarah, that I know. And I'm not going to lie it kinda hurts. But I as long as I'm with Matt I'll be fine. I think he wants to talk about it today. But we need to get it all figured out. But I only had an hour to get ready. So I ran to the shower and blow dried my hair. I curled my hair and added some spray on body glitter to it. I then put on my light blue jeans with the rips and a lavender colored shirt. I put on a nude color of eyeshadow, mascara, and lip gloss. Then to top it all off I put on my glasses. I had about ten minutes left so I ran downstairs and ate a bowl of cereal. My mom had already left for work so I was in charge of locking the door. When I ran outside he was already there. He gave me a kiss on my cheek. It was soft and sweet. It made my heart flutter like a million butterflies were in my chest. He was wearing his black joggers with two white stripes going down each leg with his short sleeve white shirt and his black tennis shoes. He looked at me and smiled.
"You look amazing."
"Thanks."
"Ready to go?"
"Sure"
He took my hands in his and we started to walk. I was confused by the fact that he took me to the soccer field. But not only that but both the coach and Mr.Henry was there.
"What's going on?",I asked.
"You're trying out for the team and Mr.Henry wanted to talk to you.",Matt explained.
"No. I'm not trying out."
"Yes you are. Good luck. I'll be cheering you on.", and he said this with a nice soft kiss to prove to me that he meant it.
So I went and changed into my gym clothes and did as the couch said. I ran through the drills that he wanted me to run through. I passed and shot as many times as he wanted me too. At the end he wanted to talk to Matt. So in the meantime I went to the music room to see what Mr.Henry wanted to tell me.
"Hey, how did it go? Did you make the team?",he asked.
"I don't know yet? What did you want to talk about?"
"Lola? I want you to call and talk to my friend Chad. He's a manager for a band who is looking for a new singer. Theirs recently moved on further in her career and the band needs a new one. I mentioned your name to them after I heard you sing in the music room. So...don't get mad but I filmed you at the karaoke place and sent it to them. They loved it and offered the spot to you. I know it's a lot but it's an opportunity. I want you to think about it, okay?"
I was shocked at this news. I was also a little mad that he didn't talk to me about this before he did what he did. But he was right. This was a big opportunity. But was it something I really wanted to do? I had to think.
"I'll think about it."
"Okay. That's fine by me. Just let me know if you want a little more details."
As he said this I went back to the field. Coach was waiting by Matt.
"So....how did I do?"
"You are better than any player on the team. You can really change this team around. If you want to be on the team the call it done.", said the coach.
"Really?"
"Really. Practice starts Monday at 3:45. Don't be late.", he said as he turned and walked away.
I ran into a hug with Matt. I didn't know how to thank him.
"I heard you made the team."
"Yep."
"We need to talk."
So we sat there and I waited for the talk to start. I knew we needed to talk about what was happening between us but I also didn't want to lose him.
"I dumped Sarah last night. I'm no longer her fake boyfriend. So if it's okay with you I would like to be your real boyfriend. So...Lola will you be my girlfriend?"
And with one simple word I said, "Yes."

I can't believe I'm saying this but you just read the last chapter of Misfit. This story has meant so much to me. The hard times Lola went through and me typing them just brought tears to my eyes. I know it's been awhile since I last posted but I've been thinking about if I really wanted the story to end. Once I decided I just stared at the screen not knowing what to type not knowing how I wanted Lola's story to end. It was hard to make an ending because my friends that have read this have been telling me that I'm basing it kind of off my life. Not the love part but the not fitting in and the bullies. I told them it wasn't, that I just typed what was in my head. But then I realized they were right. This one person changed my life. So this is not my story anymore. I feel like I need to right something...and I'm going to start it. It might be really emotional to write and I may not like having it written in a book. But it's what I want to do. Thanks for reading Misfit and I'm sorry if you are upset about the sudden ending. But I hope you enjoyed the end and that you stay for the next book. Love you all!!!!!
