Gracie P.O.V

       "He what?!", Shy yelled.  "Shhhh! Be quiet Shy! What are you thinking? Are you crazy? what if he hears you? ", I yelled and hurried her to her car. We got into her car and headed to Starbucks. "So what are you going to do?", Shy asked me. "I don't know. I mean I've had a crush on him forever but it could have been a joke. It could mean a million things other than he likes me", I told her. "But it could also mean that he likes you", she told me. "I'll talk to him tomorrow.", I told her. "No, you'll talk to him now", she said holding up my phone that was ringing. It said Dylan on it.  

I groaned and answered the phone. "Hello?", I asked into the phone. "I am so sorry. You ran out before I could say that. I really do like you. It was a stupid mistake that I won't make from now on. I want to go on  date with you. Just me and you. and I'll show you who I really am. Not how I act around my stupid friends.", he said and I smiled as Shy fan-girled quietly. I nodded my head yes, forgetting I was on the phone. I quickly said yes and hung up the phone. He texted me the details and I looked questionaly at my phone forgeting how he got my number. 

"We have to go shopping. Like right now", Shy said and dragged me by my hand to the car. I shook my head and smiled. "Okay so where are you guys meeting at?", she asked. "We are meeting at his house. Well I guess you would call it out house. Anyways he won't tell me where we are going so I'm thinking semi-causal maybe?", I asked her and she nodded. We pulled up to Tri-countey mall and instanly went inside. We headed to Kohls first and found a lacy white dress that showed off my back tattoo and white sandals. Next we went to Hot Topic where we bought a choker, moon bracelet, angel wing earrings, and Blackheart black sparkle nail polish.

We then drove to Shy's house for me to get ready. She did a lite natural makeup and braided my hair into a bun. I got dressed quickly and, seeing that I had four minutes, started walking to Dylan's house. I rang the doorbell and the door opened. I looked at Dylan to see he was wearing a nice flannel shirt, black pants, and a black watch with Converse. I looked at him and smiled knowing that he dressed up for me. He smiled at me and said wow under his breath. "You look amazing. Thank you for coming", he said and smiled. "So, where are we going?", I asked impatiently. 

"Ah it's a surprise", he said and smiled. He led me to the car and opened the door for me. I thanked him and got in noticing how clean his car is. He got in and I stopped looking around. I put my hands in my lap and figeted. All of a sudden he asked for my phone. I looked at him curiously but gave it to him anyways. He plugged the aux cord in and pushed play on what I was playing which happened to be rock classical music. He looked at me curiously and said under his breath, "Your full of surprises aren't you." I smiled and laughed a little. He smiled and laughed with me. We pulled up to a park and he unplugged my phone from the aux cord. 

He unlocked the car door and I got out and instanly ran over to the swing sets. He laughed and walked over to me. He sat on the seat next to me and we swang gently. "So, what's your favorite color?", he asked curiously. I laughed gently and smiled saying turquise. "That's a good color for you, it matches your eyes", he said and looked away. "so I want to know. How long have you liked me?", I asked curiously.  "Only a couple months or so", he answered and I laughed. "Are you hungry?", he asked me and I nodded. He led me to a picnic table and I smiled wide when I saw pizza. I opened up the box to see my favorite type of pizza-cheese. 

I took a slice sitting down and he did the same. We talked forever and then it was time to go. We went back to Dylan's house where I changed into my favorite pj's and went to bed. I woke up to my alarm clock buzzing. I moaned and Dylan said, "That was sexy". I eeped and hid under my blanket yelling, "What the hell are you doing in my room?!" He chuckled and walked away. I scoffed and got out of bed closing the door. I walked to my closet and quickly threw on a band tee, some ripped black skinny jeans and my sparkly black converse. I quickly threw open the door and grabbed my phone off the table stand. I went downstairs and, grabbing my book bag, went to my bus stop. when the  bus showed up at my stop I went to the back and sat down in an empty seat. At the next stop someone came back and sat down next to me. 

I looked over to see Dylan. He smiled at me and inertwined his fingers with mine. I smiled back at him and put in my earbuds. I blasted crybaby by Melanie Martinez until we arrived at school. As we walked into school I noticed everyone starring at us. At first I checked my lipstick to make sure it's alright but it is. I looked at Dylan and it all clicked. They where curious as to why the popular jock was holding hands with his prey, otherwise known as me. I went to pull my hand away from his but he frowned and tightened his grip. I sighed and started walking towards Viking Village and he followed. I walked to my locker and dropped Dylan's hand. I said hi to all of my friends along the way. Once I reached my locker I shoved my coat and violin in it and shut the door locking it. 

I then started walking towards breakfast. Dylan grabbed my hand and I worried how my friends will take it. I dropped Dylan's hand once again and he frowned. I poked his cheek and he smiled again. He followed me to my table where Corbin stood up and got ready to punch Dylan. I quickly walked Corbin away from him and told him what was going on. "I don't like him. I don't like you dating him. I don't trust him. He's going to hurt you. Gracie please", he said. "I know. But I'll make you a deal. If he hurts me you get first punch. Deal?", I asked him and he agreed. 

We walked back to our friends and Dylan grabbed my head swinging me into his arms. I giggled-yes giggled- and my friends looked at me weirdly. The security guard yelled that we had three minutes so Dylan tugged me away. I yelled goodbye to my friends and he walked me to class. We smiled at each other shyly before he kissed me on the cheek and walked away. I turned around to walk into the classroom when Julie Fox looked at me. "Oh, is that your boyfriend? He's cute. I might just have to steal him from you. I smirked at her saying good luck with that before walking into the classroom. I smiled at Mrs. Ballman before grabbing my choir folder and sitting in my assigned seat. We sang through West Side Story and the rest of our songs before Mrs. Ballman said we have 10 minutes to ourselves. I instanly grabbed my phone and texted Dylan.

G-Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!

G-Dyyyyyylllllaaannnnnnnn!

G-Anwser me backkkkkkkkkkkk

D-What are you doing? Why aren't you in class? 

G-I'm in class. My teacher gave us ten minutes for free time. 

D-Okay. So your not skipping class? 

G-Nope. (Imagine me popping the p) Anyways what class are you in right now?

D-Math. Which is sucking a little less right now. I'm amazing at math but they put me in cp instead of honors so I'm bored out of my mind. 

G-Well then smartypants. Be glad. Some people aren't even passing math right now. 

D-I could tutor you if you want

 G-really? Thanks! Oh its time to go. I have to go pick up Corban. Byeeeeeeeeee

D-Bye. Wait why are you picking up Corban?

D-Gracie?

I plugged my earbuds in and played Sleeping With Sirens and walked my way to Corban's classroom. When I got there I waited until someone pulled out my earbud. I looked over and asked, "Are you ready?", and he nodded his head. I handed him a box of Nerds and he smiled happily. "So what did you do today Mr. Uniform?", I asked curiously. "We had an uniform test and then we worked out till the end of the bell", he said and all of a sudden I heard running. I moved out of the was but wasn't fast enough. I was shoved into a locker and was about to slam my head on the floor when Corban caught me. "You okay?", he asked and I smiled dizzily. I tried to stand up only to fall back into Coran's arms. His hand pulled away from my head quickly and I saw red on it. "Alright it's time to get you to the nurse", he said and I nodded. 

We walked into teh nurse's office only to come face to face with Dylan. "What the hell happened to her?', he asked spotting my blood on Corban's hand. "She's fine. She got shoved and hot her head on some lockers not that it's any of your buisness", he growled at him. I groaned at the two of them letting them know how I feel about the two of them fighting. "Sorry Gracie", Corban said as Dylan looked at me, scared that I was in pain. The nurse came in and gasped when she saw me in Corban's arms. "Come on dear. Lay her on the bed please", she said and got the thermonator.  She took my temperature and saw that it was 101.5. Alright dear you can go back to class now, she's in good hands. "Do you mind if I stay with her. I want someone to keep her company", he said and I smiled. 

"Umm I guess that's okay", the nurse said and I smiled wider before wincing at the headache.
