Too Much To Handle Alone

Kennedy's Pov
Why am I freaking out? I've been on dates before and it's just Jason. Hell, I've been on a date with Jason! Of course it wasn't an official date but it required dressing nice, dancing together, and a curfew. I should be calm.

But I'm not.

I don't even know what to wear. I don't know what Jason is planning on doing on this date because it was last minute. I don't even think Jason knows what he's planning.

WHAT. IS. HE. PLANNING!?!?!?

I took a quick shower to freshen up and I brushed my teeth and whatnot. Then I got dressed in a tight fit, thigh length black dress with a distressed jean jacket and a pair of white sneakers. I then sat down to do my hair and make up. I simply curled my hair and put it into a strategically placed messy bun so it looks messy but not messy at the same time.

It makes sense I swear.

Then I did my make up with natural looking eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, and a pink lip gloss to make my lips pop. I stood up and took a look at myself in the mirror.

"Okay. I look presentable. I look...maybe like he'd be proud to be seen with me. Should I change into a skirt? No, no, no. This dress is cute. I feel like my eyeliner is uneven. Maybe if I just...no. I'll leave it alone. I look good." I ramble to myself as I continue to stare at myself.

It's almost as if the longer I look, the more I hate it.

"Kennedy! Jason is here!"

Welp, no time to change it now. I hope he doesn't hate my outfit. Or my make up. WHAT DOES HE EVEN SEE IN ME!?!?!?

Kennedy, calm down. You've got this girl. It's just another night hanging out with Jason.

Dressed up.

As his girlfriend.

"I've gotta get out of my head." I mumbled grabbing my phone and wallet with my keys connected to it. With one last sigh I make my way downstairs. I turn the corner to meet up with Jason, Diane, and my dad and I pause for a moment upon seeing him.

He looks so...Wow. How can he make something as casual as black jeans and a black denim jacket look so, dare I say, sexy? With the white v-neck under the jacket that visibly clings to his body and his hair seemingly messy even though I know he did it on purpose with a little bit of hair gel. The smile on his face showing his one dimple as he talks to Diane is just the cherry on the cake.

I should probably say something before he notices I'm staring.

"Hi." I greeted walking over to stand beside Jason. He looked at me and I noticed the slight tinge of pink fade into his face. He ran his hand down the back of his neck as he cleared his throat.

"You look beautiful Kitten." He said and I smiled.

"Pff. Oh this old thing? Shucks." I joked nudging his arm and we both laughed.

"Awww! Tom aren't they so cute?" Diane gushed holding my dads hand. Dad shrugged.

"All I see is someone undeserving of my daughters love and affection." Dad scoffed. I glared at him and he huffed out a breath.

"I mean, aWwW." Dad groaned.

"It is a school night so sadly she has a curfew. So have her home by no later than eleven." Diane said. Dad's eyes widened as he stared at Diane.

"I thought we agreed on nine." He groaned. Diane just laughed.

"Yeah honey, I lied. Now you two go ahead and have fun." Diane said and me and Jason started walking out.
