Lost in communication

Wait you're blonde?

"Grayson who was that girl you were talking to?" Ethan said as Grayson hopped into the passengers seat.
"That's just a girl from my first hour, I think she has a crush on me or something." He knew he was lying, the girl had gave Grayson her number so she could "help" him; and he only agreed because he didn't want her spreading rumors.
     Grayson of course had nothing against LGBTQ+, and usually wouldn't care of someone called him 'gay', but he was at a new school and he didn't know how the students would react if these rumors got out.
    He didn't even think he was gay, of course he questioned himself every now and then but doesn't everyone? But the girl with the brown hair was convinced he wasn't straight, so there was nothing he could do to convince her otherwise.

"Come on Grayson, we got to facetime James and Emma soon." Ethan said as they entered their house. Grayson went straight to his room and flopped on his bed, he was drained from today, having to deal with that girl was a lot.

*kitty whores calling*

james obviously named the group chat.

  "HEYYY GUYS!" emma said. "you know i've never understood why you guys don't just FaceTime us from the same phone, you guys literally live in the same house." emma said to the twins.
  "Anyways how was y'all's first day." Grayson said changing the subject. "Great, some closeted dude told me I had a fat ass in fifth hour so that was fun." James said jokingly as he joined the call a bit late. "wow love that for you." Emma said as she pulled down her hood.

"Wait you're blonde?!" Ethan said confused. "Ethan, I've literally been blonde for the whole month you guys have been gone."
"YOU ALWAYS HAD YOUR HOOD ON WHEN WE FACETIME HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!"

"Ethan can you talk without screaming for once?" james said, sarcasm oozing from his voice, he continues, " Anyways how was y'all's first day, gorgeous or absolute shit?"
"Grayson already has a girl crushing on him." Ethan said referring to the extremely weird girl grayson met in first hour.
   "ohhhh, do tell." James said, wanting to know who this girl is. "There's nothing to tell." Grayson said kinda harshly.

"Wow he's feisty today." Emma was surprised, Grayson wasn't usually like this, especially towards james.
    "Ok well, i'll call you guys later i'm going take a shower." james said dimly as he hung up. Grayson knew james was mad at him and that's why he left. "Bye guys" Emma said as the rest hung up.

                                *RING*

Grayson was attempting to FaceTime james privately to apologize, hoping he hadn't hopped in the shower yet.
   "Hello?" James had answered the phone shirtless and grayson was trying to focus on his apology and not what would happen if james panned the camera lower.
   "Look james, i'm sorry, you know I didn't mean to say it that harsh."
"It's fine, i'm not mad." james said dryly.
  "You're lying." Grayson darted out.

"Excuse me?" he hated being called a liar. "James i'm not dumb, I know you enough to know you're pissed at me right now."
"Fine i'm a little pissed, but it doesn't have to be a big deal unless you make it one."
   "I just want you to know i'm sorry." Grayson said. " I know gray, we're good."
"You can take your shower now."
    "Wait Grayson!" he was caught off guard by james sudden energy. "I wore makeup to school today."   

"Really?" "Yeah." james said softly.
    "Wow james, i'm proud of you, you deserve to be yourself." Grayson said truthfully. "Thanks gray, I'll talk to you later?"
"Yeah, talk to you later james." and with that the call ended.
