The Difference Between You and Me (GXG)

chapter 24

dakota's p.o.v

"i missed you!" lucy lunges herself at me, throwing herself over the center console of the console. her arms go around me, squeezing me tightly. i laugh at her, hugging back.

"you just saw me yesterday." i tell her as she sinks back into the driver seat. she blushes, shrugging. she puts her car in reverse.

"so? i can't miss you." she pouts as she starts driving to school. i shake my head.

"i didn't say that." i say teasing her. she huffs playfully. "i missed you too." i tell her. a big smile forms on her face and she pats the steering wheel.

"yay!" she says happily as her cute self drives us to school.

once we arrive, we both get out and swing our backpacks around us. i fight the urge to hold her hand as we walk into school casually. i don't mind what's going on right now because she's trying to figure herself out but she's too much. i mean we almost, did some stuff yesterday.

she follows me to my locker first, standing beside me as i say hi to kenzie and open it.

"how was your date?" i ask her smiling.

"it wasn't a date, we just met." she rolls her eyes, but then blushes. oh hell yeah! "he's so cute and sweet."

"heck yeah!" i say happily and hug her, beyond happy that she found someone. we let go and she holds my arms. she nudges her head towards lucy behind me. i whisper to her, "i'll tell you the tea later."

she nods, letting go of me. "see you guys later." she smiles as i close my locker and walk to lucy's locker with her. she opens it, but then paused and looks at me.

"kenzie is totally straight..?" she asks and i nod, a bit confused inside. she goes back to grabbing things from her locker. i wonder why she asked that.

"lucy!" we both hear down the hall as nicole comes rushing over. she's out of breath. i mentally roll my eyes. "lucy you have to talk to nate. we are sorry about what happened, he's a mess without you." she says pulling her arm, trying to get her to follow her.

"no, he cheated. and with my best friend..well, ex best friend." she pulls away from nicole grip, not sounding happy. nicole sighs, trying again.

"it didn't mean anything. please, he just wants a few words." she begs, putting her hands together. i grow some balls to go and stand beside lucy, crossing my arms. this isn't my business but why not? ya know.

"she said no." i say, raising an eyebrow at nicole. she squints her eyes at me, tilting her head.

"she also said she wasn't lesbian so why don't you go find a nice friend of your own kind." she says getting closer to my face. my mouth opens slightly at her words. 'my own kind?'.

"shut up nicole." lucy butts in, stepping in front of me. "there's nothing wrong with being lesbian. nothing at all!" she shouts at her, pointing her finger into her chest.

"oh am i wrong? are you lesbian too? gosh what is with this school." she says in disgust. she shakes her head, giving us that bitch look she's so famous for.

"what's so bad about it?" lucy asks, lowering her voice. "we are all people."

"oh my gosh listen to yourself!" nicole says to her. i move to the side of lucy again, no longer behind her. "what, you and nate break up and all of a sudden you're into pussy?" my jaw drops at her words. that's a way to put it..i guess.

"i didn't say that. listen, you're the one who fucked my boyfriend behind my back when you were supposed to me my friend. what, you and nate fuck and all of a sudden you're an even bigger bitch!" lucy says, her face full of anger.

i flinch at what happens next. nicole raises her hand and collides it with lucy's face, making her head turn to the side. my face turns into shock as i realized what nicole just did. she just smacked her.

"dakota.." she turns to me. she starts taking off her backpack. "hold my backpack for me." she drops her bag in my hands, glaring back at nicole.

before i can ask why, her whole body is smashing into nicole's, making them both fall to the ground. i watch as all of the students in the hallway make a crowd, watching and filming. lucy pulls nicole's hair, hitting her in the head with her hands multiple times.

"lucy stop!" i shout, dropping her bag and trying to do something to get her off. nicole fights back, smacking lucy's head to the side and almost making her head collide with the locker, luckily lucy stopped her head before that happened.

i grab lucy's waist, using all my strength to pull her off of nicole. i finally do and her hair is all over the place, whipping me in the face. i just now realized nate came over as well to nicole's rescue. he picks her up off the ground, stopping her.

"maybe next time you'll learn to keep your mouth shut." lucy says as she tries to escape my grasp on her body. i hold her back, trying to calm her down.

"hey look at me." i say in a shaky voice through the other students chatter. she looks at me, breathing heavy. i can see how red her cheek is. "let's go."

"i was never your best fiend. i never truly cared about you." nicole spits as lucy. what the hell is wrong with this girl? lucy shakes her head, still angry.

"then why don't you go fuck yourself..or better yet, fuck nathan again." she says and i've gotta say i'm shocked. "because i don't care anymore." i've never heard lucy talk so foul like that. she's badass when you get on her bad side.

i grab lucy's bag before we both walk away, noticing nathan pull nicole away. we go to the hall before stopping. the first bell just rang, we have a few minutes.

"lucy?" i ask, handing her her backpack. she throws it over her shoulder, her blood still boiling. "calm down for me, please."

"i'm fine." she says slowing down her breathing. she avoids eye contact with me as her anger turns into sadness. her eyes fill with tears but she rubs her eyes frantically.

"i'm sorry, it's okay. you have me, you don't need someone like her." i say giving her a big hug. she wraps her arms around me, holding back from crying. i know it.

"i feel something for you, dakota. and it's way stronger than i thought in the beginning." she admits, pulling away and looking into my eyes. i can't help but smile, knowing that she feels something. for me.

"then do me a favor." i say quietly. "don't think about nicole. or nate. or anything that's troubling you. think about this." i say smiling as i look back and forth. the halls are empty.

i quickly lean in and kiss her, wrapping my hands around her neck/jaw. she kisses back but i pull away before someone sees. she gives me a lovable smile and nods, saying that she will think about that.

"let's go before we are late." she pulls my hand to class quickly and we get there in time. we both sit down, waiting for class to begin.

i glance over at her and she looks at me in awe. i bite my lip, looking back forward. wow, she is too much for me to handle. i just kissed my high school crush in the hallway. there was no one in the hall granted but it still happened.

by the end of the day, lucy sadly got suspended for the rest of the week. so did nicole, but nicole started it. lucy fought back which i don't blame her. nicole has a punchable face.
