"I just don't want to, Christian. I'll catch a ride with Liam." I hung up the phone as I rushed through the busy always of Raven Prep.

I was angry. Angry at Grayson for being such a stupid - it's not even worth my time to think of a name that perfectly suits him. How can you listen to a girl open up to you, touch her, then go fuck her worst enemy literally the next morning. Not even the next night!

I'm angry at the world for taking my father away and now my mother. I'm angry at all the Moore's for knowing and not telling me. I'm angry at Samantha for being such a stuck up, preppy rich girl. Most important, I'm angry at myself for letting Grayson Moore touch me after he's touched how many girls.

I don't even know why I care - it was bound to friken happy. I just did not expect it to be this soon. I mean we haven't even talked about it which I can blame myself for because I shut him down this morning. But that was only because I didn't want anything to be awkward! But guess what, Serenity? You failed again!

Now I'm avoiding my mom because I realized I can't see her face knowing she's going to die so soon. At least not yet. I'm avoiding Grayson because I'll probably punch him in the dick, and I'm ignoring Samantha because I'm probably punch her in the face. Then I'll get suspended and won't be able to sing at the charity fundraiser meaning 0 chance of scholarships for Serenity!

Whipping open the choir room, I flicked on the lights, threw my bag down and sat at the piano. This would be the absolute only thing that will distract me.

And it did. I felt at peace. That was until Grayson decided it'd be a good idea to walk on in - uninvited by the way.

I simply glanced at him then went back to adding notes to the piece I was working on. "Ser." Grayson spoke quietly. I kept my eyes on the thin sheet of paper that sat on the black piano.

"Ser." Louder this time. "You can't ignore me forever."

I whipped my head towards him. "Actually, I can." Then looked back to the paper. "I'm busy. Get out."

"I don't get why you're mad. You're ignoring my calls, and my texts. Now you're ignoring me in person. What is wrong?"

"You know, Grayson, now would be a great time for you to do that thing where you don't talk to anyone because I really don't want to talk to you right now." My words were harsh but like I said earlier, I was angry at the world.

"If this is about last night -"

"It's not. It's about the fact that I opened up to you, I let you touch me, then not even 24 hours later you fuck my worst enemy." Now I was looking at him and I could imagine my face was red and hot.

Grayson gulped and broke eye contact from me. "That's what I thought." I chimed. "Now leave me alone."

"No." Grayson spoke.

My eyes widened in disbelief. "No?"

"No." He repeated. "You're important to me and I'm not leaving till we figure this out." He walks towards the door and locks it. "Either are you."

"This is practically kidnapping." I spoke with disgust. "Well, I was planning on staying here till after school anyway. I already missed first and second period so good luck trying to 'solve our issues.'"

"Ok, cool, I have to work on my history assignment anyway. Hope you don't mind." He winks at me and that's when all the anger completely intensified.

I stand up and walk towards him. Even standing right in front of him, as he towers over me, I'm not scared. "Stop acting like you care! Like I'm important! You don't care about me, Grayson! You never have. If you did, you would have been there for me more than just yesterday! Like when my fucking father died! Or when mom first got sick!"
