She'll never know... (girlxgirl)

Chapter 8

I can't stop smiling. My mom lectured me after I got home from the park, but I was standing there grinning like an idiot. Until she decided to do something that she shouldn't have done. I haven't talked to her since. And I don't think I will for at least a while.

Tuesday. The first time I'll see her since the talk we had. I hope things aren't different between us. I like the way we acted around each other. And I don't think anyone should know about any of this yet. At least until we figure it out. Or maybe until after I graduate. Both my parents are incredibly homophobic so I can't really let them find out.

I'm over thinking again. Why do I always do that? I decided to get out of bed already. I took a shower and put on a push-up bra and superman boy shorts. I went into my closet and grabbed a Guns 'N Roses t-shirt and some black skinny jeans. I brushed my shoulder-length black hair and put my clothes on. I went downstairs and grabbed a pop tart and headed out. I got into my car. Its a crystal black pearl 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. Technically its my dad's but he doesn't use it. He has silver Ford Expedition 2012. He said I could use the Honda until I get my own car, on the condition that I take care of it. My dream car is the Ford Mustang Shelby 1969, black with red stripes.

I took my American Idiot CD and put it in, singing along to every song. I love Green Day. I pulled into the school parking lot with the song American Idiot blasting and parked in my usual spot. I decided to sit in here for a while since I was early. My car door opened and scared me half to death.

"You know, you should really stop doing that" I said thinking it was Jess.

"Doing what?" My head snapped up and I found myself looking into Lizzie's beautiful hazel eyes.

"H-hey" I nervously greeted her.

"Hey" she whispered, looking a bit down.

"You ok?" I'm starting to get worried. Is she gonna dump me?

"Um... yea. Look I get it if you don't wanna be with me. Just don't pretend to like me." Wait. What? Am I hearing this right?

"What are you talking about? Of course I like you. I've had a crush on you since the day I met you. I actually thought you were about to dump me." She smiled and I could feel the butterflies coming to life in my stomach. I leaned in and gave her a peck on the lips and when I backed up she was blushing.

"Don't worry. No one saw. I checked" she smiled and nodded. "Come on. We should go in." I said grabbing my bag and turning the car off. She nodded and got out. I followed and we walked into the school talking about random things and laughing at nothing in particular.

"What's so funny?" Jess and the rest of the girls in my grade were now standing in front of us. Jess had an eyebrow raised and was smirking at me.

"Nothing. Liz, want me to take you to class?" I asked avoiding the question. "Sure." She said catching on.

"Liz, huh?" Damn Jess. Can't she ever mind her own damn business?

"You got a problem with it?" I asked walking away, pulling Lizzie with me.

"Does she know?"

"No. I made the mistake of telling her I liked someone a while back. But I never said who. I think she's starting to catch on though."

"Oh. It's okay if you tell her. I know she's your best friend and that you trust her."

"Nah, Liz I won't tell her. Plus, if I do she'll end up harassing us about it." She chuckled at that. We got to her class and I left after I saw her go in the classroom.

I want to take her out on a date, but I'm too afraid to ask and I have no ideas. I don't want to take her on one of those boring dinner and a movie dates. I want our first date to be special. I spent the rest of the day thinking of ideas and ways to ask. At lunch I sat with Jess's group (the people in my grade). Pablo kept poking me and being the annoying snoopy asshole he was. He's a great guy and a good friend but he can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

In my second to last period I thought of the perfect idea, which is good because I have gym last period. I have that class with a lot of my friends. We were playing basketball and the boys were running laps. Me and Sarah were team captains, because we were the best players. I got Jess, Tina, Ash, and a bunch of other girls. She had Lizzie though, because she had first choice and she chose Lizzie. The game went pretty well. We were winning 7-3. I passed the ball to Jess and ran down the court. She passed it back and I shot a 3 pointer. I almost never miss a shot. The game went on and we won 16-12. Our team high-fived each other and went to the showers. Our school had private stalls, which I thought was pretty great. I took off my gym clothes and took a quick hot shower. I put my jeans and t-shirt back on and headed out. I told Liz that I'd be going to her house in a couple hours because I had something for her. She tried to get me to say what but I kept saying it was a surprise. I said bye to my friends and put my backpack and gym bag in the car. We had gym twice a week. Last period is the only one that changes depending on the day. You get to choose between art,  music, and a bunch of other activities, but gym was mandatory. I pulled off and went to the elementary.
