"Cinderella always runs away from the ball"

"Yeah but when you dance with payton, you don't run away. You actually tell him who you are."

"I've been talking to him for two months now and he doesn't know who I am, I'd prefer if it stayed that way. School ends soon and now is just too late to start a relationship"

"But what if he isn't what he seems? What if he genuinely is into you?"

"Surprise, how could anyone be into me like that. We are completely different, there's just no way he could like me"

Just as we finished the conversation a bunch of girls from the table next to us started giggling and laughing. We both looked to see what they were giggling at and much to my surprise it was payton, Jackson and Sam. Although Payton didn't look himself, he didn't look happy.

"I can't do this"

I grabbed my tray of food and went to empty it, before turning around and colliding with someone's chest.

"Shoot I am so sorry"

"No problem"

I looked up to see Jackson. I sighed and rolled my eyes before walking off.

"What you rolling your eyes for princess?"

"Leave me alone"

The next thing I knew Sam and payton were blocking my exit of the cafeteria.

"Seriously, what are you? You're a boy who is annoying as heck so please move out my way"

Sam didn't budge but payton slightly moved his shoulder so there was enough room to get by.

"Thank you" I smiled lightly at him before swinging my bag on my shoulder and walking off.

Paytons pov--
"Dude what the hell?"
"What? You wanted me to block her way, it's not my fault she could fit"
"You shouldn't let her go past"

"Oh my god. She didn't do anything wrong Jackson, she bumped into you and apologised straight after, that shouldve been the end of it"

I turned my back to him and started walking towards the changing rooms for soccer practice.

We had the pep rally before the game so everyone was getting ready for that. That meant all the cheerleaders were getting dressed up and ugh high school just completely sucks. All of the team started coming in and putting their kit on before walking out to the field.

Y/n pov--
Me and Anna were crowded around with everyone watching the pep rally when Ophelia started her 'story'.

"Once upon a time, there was a young boy who had his whole life planned and he was going for gold. His life was extraordinary, he got good grades, head of the soccer team and had the super hot girlfriend, but something happened to him and he broke up with his super hot girlfriend and started talking to some lousy, certainly not as hot girl. Please give it up for little miss waitress"

Everybody turned to look at me before Anna pulled me away from the group. The only thing I managed to lock my eyes on was the disheartened look payton had across his face.

"I told you there'd be no way, people like him don't like people like me, we just don't mesh well together"
"You need to talk to him y/n, he needs to know why you didn't tell him who you were before. And he may not like it but I've seen you when your mad and he needs to see that side of you to realise that you have feelings too"

"You are so right but there's just no way I could do it"
"Go to the changing rooms right now, I'll wait outside for you"

"Are you sure?"
"Most definitely"
"Okay"

--time skip to start of game---

I pushed open the doors of the changing room before walking in and looking for payton.

"Yo dude, chick at three o'clock"

I finally found him with his head down taping his hand.

"Can I talk to you for a minute please?"

"Whatever you need to say just say it"

"Look I don't want to argue with you and I don't want you to hate me, but even though I didn't tell you who I was, everything I said was still me. All those times when I stayed up until three in the morning to talk to you, that was me, everytime you needed to rant to someone, that was me. And you may not like me because I'm not hot or popular, and you could do so much better, but I want you to know that I prefer who you are when you're talking to me, you're not this airheaded egotistical person, and I like that you're not because at the end of the day you're just you. So like I said I just wanted you to know that, that person you were talking to, that was the real me"

I walked off before finding Anna standing outside the room waiting for me.
"You did a great job. Hey are you coming to watch the game with me?"
"Yeah"
"Thank you"

We walked out to the crowd and started finding a seat, pushing past people to get to the middle.

Paytons pov--

The principal was doing the team announcements whilst we were doing our chant.
Once our team was called we ran out onto the field and everyone cheered for us. Even though I knew I needed to win this game, my mind kept wondering to y/n and how she told me straight, I liked that about her, she said her feelings but she didn't say it in an evil way. I didn't notice how much I really liked her. And she maybe out of my league but damn a chance with her is all I need.

Half way through the game I saw her mouth something to her friend before walking off and trying to leave. My stare lingered on her for a few minutes whilst my team was shouting at me.
"Sorry guys"

I took my helmet off before running past my dad
"Jackson this one is yours"
"Payton what are you doing, you're throwing away your dream"
"No dad I'm throwing away yours"
I out my helmet on the floor before running towards the bleachers and up the stairs.

"Payton what are you doing?"

"Something I should've done a long time ago"

I put my finger under her chin to lift her head up. I gently placed my lips against hers before fully crashing them  together.

"I really fuckin' like you"
"I really fuckin' like you too"

A/n this was inspired by a Cinderella story with hillary duff and if you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it.
