The Difference Between You and Me (GXG)

chapter 12

dakota's p.o.v

when we arrive at the school, we walk up and pay for two tickets in the football game. since we go to the school, it's only five dollars, which is awesome.

kenzie and i walk up the stands and find a place to sit. the music is blasting and everyone is talking about the game. finally, we find a seat and start to look around. i finally spot lucy..sitting with nicole towards the bottom right of the bleachers. i can see the back of their heads but when nicole turns her head to lucy, i can see her face.

the boys run into the field and the crowd starts to go wild. i look and see lucy and nicole are clapping and cheering. i clap as well, looking around for nate. i don't know which one is him because they all have helmets on and i don't know his number.

when the it was half time, kenzie asked me to go get a snack with her. i agree and look at the score quick. our team is winning by one touchdown.

as i walk down the bleachers with her, i turn my head quickly to look at lucy. her eyes are already on me so our eyes lock immediately. nicole notices her looking somewhere and before i knew it, she was looking at me to. she squints her eyes, clearly not happy to see my face.

i look away, making sure i don't bump into anyone as kenzie and i walk down to the snack table.

"i saw lucy looking at you." she nudges me with her elbow and winks. i shake my head, walking beside my dumbass of a best friend.

"we're just friends." i sigh, honestly wishing we were more. she's one of the nicest people i've ever met. she's so wholesome.

"hm." she hums before going up to the snack table and asking for something. a kit kat or something i think. i stand beside her, watching as she gets the candy and pays.

as i turn around, i almost bump into someone but i stop myself. i adjust my eyes to the person in front of me and see its lucy. she smiles, holding her hands in front of her, and extending her arms down.

"hi dakota." she says, her cute smile not leaving her face.

"hey." i smile back, glancing over at kenzie. she opens her eyes wide and quickly walks away, going back to the bleachers. my eyes switch back to lucy's who's standing so innocently in front of me.

"i uh, i wanted to ask you something." she says and my chest starts to get that tingly feeling. she tends to make me nervous a lot. what could she want to ask me now?

"okay, what's up?" i ask sweetly to her. she looks back at the field quick before turning back to me.

"would you like to come over my house tomorrow?" she asks, talking quickly almost like she's nervous. lucy davis nervous around me???

"you mean to like..hang out?" i gulp, shocked she's asking me to hang out.

"yeah i think it would be good for us to get to know each other more and i just rented some good movies. we just started talking and i think it would be good for our friendship." she says and i feel my whole body heat up drastically. i know she just said friendship but hanging out with her for a whole day seems absolutely perfect.

"yeah." i nod. "that sounds great." i say, smiling a little too much. "have you hung out with nicole recently?"

"i see her all the time. and like i said she doesn't really entertain me anymore. you on the other hand.." she trails off, looking down. "i can talk to you for hours without getting bored it seems. and that's what i want to do, tomorrow."

i cant believe she's asking me to hang out. i wanted to ask her but i'm actually so happy now that she asked me first. ahh! okay calm down dakota. ask normal.

"yeah absolutely." i say smiling. she nods, clapping her hands in front of her chest quickly.

"yay! come over at noon?" she asks me. i nod, knowing that's perfect. i wake up at 10 or 11 on weekends anyway.

"okay! see you then." i say, walking by her to go back to kenzie. i need to tell her what happened. i walk a little too quickly back to where we are sitting.

i sit down, shaking her arm vigorously. she laughs, taking my hand off of her. "what what?!" she asks loudly. i shush her, trying not to be embarrassed where half of the school is.

"lucy asked me to hang out tomorrow. at her house." i say quietly, knowing nicole is not too far from us. her mouth opens in shock.

"what?!" she yells but i cover her mouth with my hand, closing my eyes.

"will you shut up?" i ask but then can't help but laugh.

"lucy davis asked you to hang at her house?" she asks and i give her a straight face.

"no that's totally not what i just said." i roll my eyes playfully. she hits my arm repeatedly, a big grin on her face. i stop her, looking around quickly. "she said she wants us to know more about each other and she said she rented movies we could watch."

"dakota!" she whisper yells, knowing i'm embarrassed at her yelling. "that's like a date. like a stay at home, movie date!"

"i-it's not. she just wants to hang out." i say to her. i then smile, thinking about how great it'll be spending time with her outside of school.

"you're clueless, but congrats girl! you're going to have a blast. you two get a long extremely well." she says, giving me a quick side hug. i laugh, agreeing with her.

as half time comes to an end, i watch as lucy comes walking back up the bleachers. she sits back down next to nicole with a water bottle in her hand. can this game and this night be over so i can just see her tomorrow, alone. please! ugh!

when the game was over, our school ended up winning. kenzie and i walk down the bleachers along with everyone else. we were about to walk out from the field by the fence but something catches my eye.

i watch as lucy goes up to nate, giving him a quick hug. then he kisses her, keeping his arms around her. they talk, standing extremely close and i sigh, walking out out of the field area.

"i'm sorry, kiddo." kenzie says beside me. i shrug it off, rubbing my arm.

"i don't know why she just goes back to him like nothing happened. he makes her cry." i say, confused. kenzie shrugs beside me.

"she must be used to it. i guess she doesn't hold grudges against him." she says and i nod, thinking that must be it. he yells at her one second but the next second she's hugging and kissing him. what an odd relationship. i wonder if they even talk about their fights. or his awful behavior towards her.

i get in kenzie's car, watching as she gets in the driver seat. i put the radio on as she starts the car and we jam all the way back to my house. once we get to my house, i turn the radio down.

"you and i can hang during the week next week. wish me luck tomorrow." i say and laugh. she leans over the center console and gives me another hug.

"don't sweat it kid, i see you enough." she jokes and pushes me away from her playfully. "good luck, have fun!" she waves as i step out of the car.

i take this chance to be the first to blow her a kiss. she starts cracking up in her car as she does the same back to me, only two kisses blown. one from each hand.

i walk inside, smiling to myself. who would of thought senior year would start off really good for me. someone like me doesn't have the best of luck, but recently it's been great.

i knock on my dining table, trying not to jinx myself. i go upstairs, throwing myself on my bed. i'll shower tomorrow, i'm too lazy. i check my phone quick as i change into some pajamas. i see a text from lucy. it says 'see you tomorrow :)'

i blush, typing back 'yes you will' before sending it. i throw my phone on my bed, going in the bathroom to brush my teeth. tomorrow's going to be a good day, i can feel it.
