The Difference Between You and Me (GXG)

chapter 17

dakota's p.o.v

alls i got to say is that in this moment, i looked at her like she's insane. "kenzie!" i say loudly looking at her. i feel lucy grab my hand, trying to get my attention.

"no it's okay." she says as i turn my head to her. then i watch as she looks past me to kenzie. i watch as she thinks for a moment. "to be honest, i-i don't know. no ones ever really talked about my sexuality with me before." she says and now can i be honest? i'm freaking out inside. ah kenzie now you've fucked me up!

"oh so..are you not straight?" kenzie asks and i turn my head to her, giving her face that begs her to stop.

"i don't know." is all she says, and when i turn to her again she shrugs lightly. i'm going to get a headache from looking back and forth from these two.

"fair enough." kenzie says turning her attention back to the movie and smirking. i now realize lucy hasn't let go of my hand from when she grabbed it before. she leans back on the couch, still not letting go of my hand as she now just sits close beside me.

kenzie, if you scared her off, you're dead.

"sorry about her." i mumble to lucy. she looks at me and smiles, shaking her head.

"no worries." she whispers, her eyes not leaving mine. after a few seconds, i turn my eyes back to the movie and continue to watch it. i can see that she's still looking at me so my face turns red.

as a few more seconds pass, i see her eyes still not leaving me to watch the movie. or to look anywhere else but my face. i turn back to her, giving her a small smile. "why are you looking at meeee?" i whine, covering my face.

"because you're pretty." she says quietly, tilting her head to me. my feel my whole body freeze as i just look back at her with sort of wide eyes. i relax my eyes fast so it doesn't look like i'm totally fazed by what she just said.

"o-oh." i stutter, my hands becoming sweaty. my whole face and neck are probably beat red right now and i can't do anything about it. this girl is too much. "you're pretty too."

she pulls her leg up to her face, leaning her head on it. she smiles cutely. "thank you." she blinks a few times, looking away from my eyes.

i feel a tug at my arm suddenly and feel myself being ripped up from the couch. i look at kenzie with a confused look. "i'm sorry lucy, excuse us for a moment."

she pulls me to the stairs, going up them quick. i try to follow her quick pace but i almost fall. she barges into my room and shuts the door. "dakota you're not serious!" she shouts. i shush her, putting my finger up to my lips.

"what?" i ask shaking my head. she comes closer to me puts her hands on my shoulders.

"this girl acts like she's totally in love with you." she says, her face directly in front of mine.

"i don't know what-"

"oh my god, shut up!" she says loudly, shaking me by my shoulders. i stop her, grabbing her arms. she gives me a look like 'wow, you are a dumbass."

"kenzie she loves nate-"

"dakota. from the time you've been together she has wanted u to call her almost every night. she's taken you on a date that she planned to pay for, you've hung out at her house, you've hung out at your house. she kissed you on the cheek. you practically cuddle everytime you're on the couch, and she just called you pretty for god sake." she rants, almost losing her breath. i just look at her with wide eyes.

"she..she's having problems with nate and she needs someone. i'm not saying i'm just a backup but i'm a pretty good friend. wouldn't you agree?" i ask and she rolls her eyes.
