You're The One That I Want (E&G)

Chapter 1

"You do realize that he doesn't know you exist right? Like there is no way on earth that he will fall for you. I mean sure you're pretty and you're on the softball team and you're the lead in the schools play but Jackson will not ask you to homecoming. You're dreaming if you think he will."

Wow. Some best friend I have. She's all about me being me and following my heart but when it comes to dating she doesn't believe in me at all. Just because I'm always involved in school she thinks I don't have a social life. I mean I do hangout with her sometimes when I'm not working out or rehearsing.

"Why do you have to be a Debby Downer when it comes to me and boys?" I asked while we walk to our cars.

"Layne, I know you better than anyone. You don't have time to date. I mean you haven't even slept with anyone."

"Sex isn't everything Zoey."

"That's what you think just because you haven't been laid yet."

"I'm sorry that I'm worried about keeping my grades up and keeping my scholarships."

"Layne it's senior year. Those scholarships aren't going anywhere. You're the only girl here that has a scholarship for dramatic arts and softball plus you've been making straight A's since pre-K and I don't think that's possible. You're making a name for yourself and this school."

"The exact reason why I need to stay focused."

"If you don't go to the party after the game tonight you can say goodbye to homecoming with Jackson. I heard he doesn't have a date yet but he'll be looking at the party."

Damn, she knew I would fall for that. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have one night off. My idea of a fun night is batting practice in my backyard. The neighbors hate it but they know I'll be gone soon. Besides their daughter comes and gets lessons from me for free so they really can't complain.

"You know what Zoey. I'll go but only because of Jackson and not you."

"I love it when you talk dirty to me." She shimmied.

"You're such a perv. I didn't even say anything in that content." I laughed

"Maybe but you love it and it's how your voice sounded. Super sexy."

If I'm going to the game and party I have find something to wear. I don't want to change outfits so I need to find something other than workout clothes. Do I own anything other than workout clothes? I mean I have my costumes for drama but I can't go in Sandy's clothes. Well the jumpsuit is really sexy but it's way to hot out here in California. It's never cold, ever. At least we don't have humility like Louisiana or Florida. My family went on vacation there and I was miserable for both trips. How do those people live in that?

As I look through my closet my phone started to buzz. I picked it up from my bed and saw so many twitter and Instagram notifications. I open them to see all the fan accounts liking my post that I posted right when I got out of school. During the day I turn them off because I don't want anyone to know that I have fan accounts but when I'm not working out or studying I spend my time online with people who have the same interests with me and they're so nice. Yeah there's some drama but it's mostly positive all around. Everyone thinks I go to sleep so early when I send out my streaks on snapchat but really I'm going straight to twitter to see what's going on in the fandom and then Instagram to see new post of the Dolan Twins. Everyone is so talented and then there's me. Just retweeting trying to get noticed by Ethan and Grayson and liking everyone's post on Instagram. Don't get me wrong, I try editing but my edits are nothing compared to other accounts. It's all good though because we all support each other and the boys, and that's all we really need.

"Wow my account is growing pretty fast." Yeah 200 followers is big. Look at all those popular accounts with thousands of followers. I bet the boys even follow them. As I scroll through liking and commenting and being in different groupchats, I get a snap from Kate. She's my internet best friend from Illinois. Yeah Zoey knows me but Kate really knows me. Zoey doesn't even know who the Dolan Twins are. She only knows the goodie goodie Layne in school. Kate on the other hand knows the fangirl Layne. The Layne that sees a picture of Grayson Dolan wearing his retainer and have to take a moment. I wear a retainer too and so do a lot of other people but he just makes it work. Kate also knows what it's like when Ethan smiles with his teeth. Basically the whole internet explodes because the Bromieomies love Ethan's smile and he doesn't but we want him to keep smiling.

Kate and I snapped back and forth while she was helping me pick out an outfit to wear to the game. We both decided that some blue jean shorts and a lose fitting shirt would work just fine with white converse. When I put it on I still had about an hour until Zoey would be here to pick me up. I know she's going to drink tonight so might as well be her DD instead of her going home with some guy. Kate and I talked about our day and talked about our accounts. The usual you would do with your internet best friend that lives so far away that you just want to hold them because they're the best thing that has happened to you. They understand you and get what you're saying even when you don't know yourself.

"Well I gtg if I want that date to the dance." I send her.

"If only you could bring Ethan or Grayson." She snapped back

"That would be great but they don't know I exist so I'll try for the football player."

Once I sent her the snapchat I went and turned off all my notifications from my accounts and walked downstairs to wait for Zoey.
