-Grayson pov-

"Hey, Natalie are you ready-." I push open her bedroom door, quickly walking in.

I freeze in my steps, realizing that Natalie wasn't alone. She screamed, pushing the brown-haired man off her before pulling a blanket up over her naked body. The man got up, grabbing his boxers and jeans. I advert my eyes, meeting Natalie's.

"Why?"

Natalie rolls her eyes. "Get out."

I take a step forward. "Why would you cheat on me?"

She glances over at the other man. "Because I wanted to."

The guy finally gets his pants on before lifting his head, Jacob's smirk searing my eyes. "Hey, Grayson."

Natalie stands, the blanket falling off her. "Grayson."

"Yes?"

Jacob steps toward me. "Graysonnn..."

"What?!"

"Grayson!" Natalie screams.

I flinch, sitting up in my seat. My chemistry teacher's face appears in front of me. "Thank you for finally joining us!" She says sarcastically.

I rub my eyes, grunting. "Sorry, it won't happen again..."

She rolls her eyes, turning and walking back to the front of the room. "That's what they all say...Eyes up here please!"

My classmates turn back around from watching me, slumping down in their seats. She picks up her whiteboard marker, lifting it to write just as the bell rings. Instantly all the chairs in the room are pushed back and book bags are zipped up.

"Your homework is page 76 questions 2-6!" My teacher yells after us, most kids just ignoring her.

I get up, shaking my head to wake myself up. I give my teacher a tight smile before leaving the room, my book bag slung over my shoulder and my other hand in my pocket.

I go to my locker, kids rushing past me to make their buses. I shove my books inside, only grabbing the few pages I have to do for homework before I go to the library. Thankfully, not many people are here, but I still choose a table in the back, putting my AirPods in and starting my homework.

It takes me over an hour to do my homework, even with looking most of the answers up. I leave the school building, get in my car and drive to the familiar fast-food restaurant. After ordering Anna and I's full order at Chick-fil-A I drive back to the school, parking near the auditorium entrance.

I send Anna a quick text.

I chuckle, turning my radio up slightly as I tap my fingers against the steering wheel. A few minutes later my passenger door flies open and Annalise slides in, a bright smile on her face.

"Hey!" She closes the door, throwing her bag in the backseat.

I shift the car into drive. "Hey. So, practice went well?"
