Song recommendation: Recognize me - Sofia de la Torre (Only on YouTube)
“Hey Y/N!” Giulia calls out, I turn around and see her running towards me.
We just ended practice and I was one of the first ones to leave, to go home.
“Yes?” I say, she gives me a big smile.
“You gotta minute?”
“For you, always.” She laughs at my comment, making my heart jump a little.
“Some of us, thought about having a night out on Friday and I wanted to ask if you’d like to come too?” she explains.
“I would love to, but I can't.”
“You gotta date?”
“I wish I had one for this evening, but I don't.”
She gives me a questionable look and I realize how wired that sentence was.
“You may know that I’m graduating this year and my school, always does a prom night for the seniors and it is this Friday.” I explain and she nods.
“Oh, well have fun then.”
“Wait...did you say that you don't have a date.” she adds and I nod. But before I can say anything some of the other team members are walking towards us, probably because we're standing in the middle of the parking lot.
“And? Are you coming with us on Friday?” Georgia asks but I shake my head.
“Sorry but no.”
“Yeah and I just realized that I forgot that I also have something on Friday, so I can't come too.” Giulia adds.
“Your boring, both of you.” Lina says and I roll my eyes, knowing that she loves both of us.
Or at least I know, that she loves me because since I joined the team two years ago, when I was only 16, she kind of adopted me as her little sister.
“Thanks.” I say and she laughs.
They walk to their cars and leave me alone with Giulia.
“I know that it’s not cool to invite yourself, but can I be your date?” she asks.
“I’m sorry what?”
“On Friday, I don't want you to go alone, so if your want, I would come with you, as your date.”
“It would be a honor for me to have you as my date.”

“You look good.” Lina says, leaning against the doorframe.
After Giulia kind of asked me to her be her date, I called her within minutes and explained the whole situation. Completely freaking out about it.
She, Georgia and Syd decided to come by at mine, before there night out, to help me get ready.
Well they said they would, actually there just sitting around and chatting. But there distracting me from how nervous I am, which I’m really thankful for.
“Yeah, she's right.” Georgia agrees.
They almost kick me out of my own apartment as its time to go.
“Have fun.” Lina say, hugging me tight.
“Hals und Beinbruch.” Georgia adds, surprising everyone with a knew German sentence, she knows.
“Caro thought me that.” She explains, a proud smile on her face.
“See you later.” Syd says and gives me a fist bump.
“Good night.” I say, before getting into my car and driving off.
I told Giulia that I would pick her up at seven and its exactly five minutes before that when I arrive at her apartment.
I get out of my car and wait till its seven, to ring the bell.
She opens the door in less then a second and for a second my breathing stops.
She’s wearing a red dress, white heels and the biggest smile I’ve ever seen.
“You....You’re....You look beautiful.” I stumble over my words, my cheeks flushing red.
“You’re not looking that bad yourself.” she says and I realize that I still have the bouquet of roses in my hand.
“These are for you.”
“Thank you.” she steps closer as I give them to her and before I can do anything she softly kisses my cheek.
“You smell good.” she whispers, before turning around to bring the flowers into her kitchen, to put them into water.
Probably because after todays practice, I showered three times to make sure that I don't smell like sweat and grass.
“I never thought that you had a romantic side.” Giulia says as we leaver her apartment and get into my car.
“That because I don't have one, I just always had this scenario in my head where I would pick up a girl, with flowers and take her out.” I explain.
“I feel honored to be that girl.”
When we arrive at my school, I make sure to get out of the car before her to open the door for her.
I see her smiling but also realizing that she's enjoying it, to be traten like the queen she is.
They prepared the big sports hall for the prom night and decorated the way from the parking lot to it with lights.
Giulia grabs my hand as we walk towards the hall and I can't help but smile.
A teacher with a list is standing at the entrance, making sure to only let seniors in.
“Name?” he asks as we stop next to him.
“Mr Harris, you’ve known me for five years.” I say, irritated by the fact that he's asking for my name, although he knows exactly what it is.
“No exceptions, Y/L/N.” I notice Giulia holding back her laughter, but Mr Harris smiles at us.
“Have a nice evening, you two.” he says.
“You know what, he reminded me of the guy from Harry Potter.” Giulia says, as we pass him and enter the hall.
“Flitwick.” I say, knowing who she meant “Yeah, he's a bit like him, he's one of the only teachers that understood that sometimes I just wasn't able to do give me homework back, at the deadline because I just had so much stuff going on with soccer.”
“Gosh I remember the day you had your first practice with us.” she says laughing.
“Yeah, I was so nervous I thought I was going to faint, but when Lea came up to me and told me just to focus on playing, it kind of calmed me down.”
As we enter the prom hall, I see many of my class mates, some of them give me wird looks, probably because they recognize Giulia, some of them looked impressed that I have such a beautiful girl as my date, and some of them look just happy that I have someone.
The night goes by way to fast for my liking. We dance, listing to the speeches of some of my teachers, drink Mojitos without alcohol in it, laugh and talk about everything that comes to our minds.
And the whole time, I feel myself enjoying it to be with her. Enjoying the way her eyes sparkle when she smiles, enjoying the sound of her laughters, enjoying the feeling of my heart jumping when she looks at me, enjoying the feeling of her hands in mine.
And when they announce that this is going to be the last dance for tonight, I hold out my hand for her.
“May I have this dance?”
She takes my hand without hesitation.
“Yes.”
I only realize that it’s a slow, love song as we’re stopping in between the other people.
Giulia pulls me closer, her hand resting on my shoulder, mine on her waist, or other hands entangled.
We’re so close, our foreheads almost touch as we move to the soft music.
I’ve never been comfortable with being in big crowds, but it feels like we’re the only one here. like we’re the only two people left on earth right now.
Way to soon, the song ends and we bake apart.
Neither of us wants to go home already, even though its probably around midnight, so we decide to take a walk.
Her hand still entangled with mine.
“Thank you again, for coming with me tonight.” I say, braking the comfortable silence between us.
“It was one of the best nights of my live.” Giulia answers, giving me a smile.
When we drive back to her apartment, I get out of the car and bring her to her door.
And again, our hands are entangled, and it kind of feels like they fit perfectly into each other, like it's meant to be.
“A penny for your thoughts.” She whispers and I smile, its a really cute way to ask what I’m thinking about.
“I just thought about this other scenario I had in my head, where I would kiss the girl on her doorsteps, to let her know how thankful I am, to say goodnight but also to promise her that this wouldn't be our last night.” I ramble.
“Then just do it.” she answers and I'm pretty sure my heart stops beating.
But her smile and the look in her eyes, lets me know that she meant what she said.
I tilt my head a little, leaning closer, before our lips touch I close my eyes.
And as our lips connect, into a soft kiss, my heart starts beating again, but this time like wild.
As we slowly pull away, her brown eyes are so full of love that I almost get lost in them.
How can someone be so beautiful.
“I promise that this wasn't our last night, it was our first, and I’m pretty sure that there are going to be much more like this.” she whispers in the space between us.
“Goodnight Giulia.” I say, because everything that had to be said, is said.
“Goodnight Y/N.”
