Hero-Lee:

Hayes and I have been together for about a week now. School is getting better but people are still scared of me. Maybe if I wear a sign on my back that says 'I don't practice witchcraft' people will calm down.

Hayes and I hang out everyday and we've gotten closer. I have been hanging out with his friends at school and they're actually very nice.

"Sup Grier. Whats up Hero-Lee" Carter said as he came up to us in our film class.

"Hey Carter" I said.

"So I have an idea" Hayes said to me.

"What?" he handed me a flyer.

"School play? You wanna be in it?" I asked him.

"No I think you should help" he said.

"Um no."

"Why not"

"Well for one everyone is scared of me so they won't let me" I said.

"Trust Me I know the people in charge. They'll let you if I tell them to let you" he said.

"You think you got it like that Grier?" Carter said with a laugh.

"Shut it Carter" Hayes said.

"I don't know Hayes."

"You have talent when it comes to directing. Why keep that talent hidden?" he asked.

"Its not that. I just don't know anyone there and I would feel awkward trying to say any ideas i'd have" I explained.

"Well if you change your mind just let me know."

"I will. Thanks anyway."

"So you wanna come over after school?" he asked.

"To do what?" I asked.

"Shit what do you think?" Carter asked.

"Carter shut up" Hayes said causing me to laugh.

"Just to hang out" Hayes said.

"Yeah sounds fun" I said.

The rest of the day went on and since I drove myself to school I followed Hayes back to his house.

"My parents aren't home and I don't think my sister will be for a while" He said as we were walking into the house.

"Cool" we went to his room and he turned on the tv. We were watching a movie and he had his arm wrapped around me. It felt great. I love being with him.

"This is fun" he said.

"Yeah its relaxing" I said.

"So what do you do all day at home?" I asked.

"I just watch movies or play video games."

"Oh no you're a gamer?" I asked.

"Not a big one but when I'm bored yeah" I said.

"Well I always have nothing to do so you can always hit me up when you're bored" I said.

"Of course" he said. I heard what sounded like the front door and girls talking.

"Oh I think my sister is home" he said.

"Oh should I go?" I asked.

"No it's okay" he said. We continued watching the movie and then all of a sudden his bedroom door opened and his sister appeared.

"Can I help you?" he said.

"No but you can help her" his sister said before opening the door more and his ex Kristen walked in.

"Hayes what are you doing?" she said. Hayes and I sat up.

"Alexa why the hell is Kristen here?" he asked.

"She wanted to talk to you. Apparently you've been avoiding her" Alexa said.

"Yeah because I don't want to talk to her. Now both of you get out" Hayes said.

"No I'm not going anywhere till you talk to me" Kristen said as she crossed her arms and sat on his desk chair.

"Fine, then we're going" Hayes said before grabbing my hand. We walked out of the room and to the backyard.

"I'm sorry my ex is always interrupting shit" Hayes said.

"I mean it's not your fault she can't move on" I said.

"Wanna go get food?" he asked.

"Sure" I said. We left his house and Hayes drove to a restaurant nearby. I've never been here so I don't know the name of it but it was cool. And I love spend time with Hayes.

I really like him.
