Wraith (BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter Forty Three

My alarm wakes me up and I begrudgingly try to pry myself out of Greyson's iron grip. I fail... very obviously but when he wakes up we end up showering together.

You guess where that went.

Now we're down in the lobby and I'm eating mashed potatoes at 8 a.m. I don't think I need to explain why. We were put into groups to explore the city. Sadly, me and the girls got stuck with all of our exes. So much fun right, our teachers love to torment us apparently. Luckily the guys are with us and they refuse to leave us alone.

"Why are you eating mashed potatoes this early?" Jace asks, giving me a weird look. Greyson scowls at him and I shrug.

"Because I feel like it," I respond, shoving another spoonful into my mouth. Matt is sitting near us as well and right now I wish they would both die. There aren't many other areas to sit down here and all of them are taken.

"Does anyone know what we're supposed to be doing today?" Kate asks, plopping down next to me and completely ignoring Matt. Luke sits on her other side, throwing his arm over her shoulders possessively.

"No idea," Emi shrugs. She's standing behind the couch we're on, leaning against it with her arms resting on the back of it. Nico is beside her and Mick is sitting across from me, trying to keep as much distance between her, Jace and Matt as possible. Kai comes over and sits next to her, placing himself between her and the boys.

"I thought we were allowed to do whatever we wanted." I said with a shrug, finishing my potatoes and leaning my head on Greyson's shoulder. He puts his arm around my shoulder, bringing his other hand up to rest on my stomach.

Jace watches the movement carefully, glaring at Greyson's hand on my stomach with newfound hatred. I don't know if he's figured it out but if he has I hope it makes him mad.

"Well then what should we do?" Mick asks, shifting slightly closer to Kai when Emi's ex finally joins us. All of our exes make her fairly uncomfortable, no one knows why. I shrug again, sinking further into Greyson's side.

"We could go to the Pantheon," Emi says, playing with Nico's hand resting on her thigh.

"Oh I like that idea," I say, adjusting so that I am sitting up straight. Everyone else agrees and we set out on the city, staying as far ahead of Jace, Matt and the others as possible. Greyson is sticking extra close to me, being cautious of Jace which I can't help but find both adorable and hilarious.

When we get to the Pantheon it is packed with hundreds of other tourists, taking pictures and looking at the old building.

"Ok can we go now? We saw it," Matt grumbles, staring at Kate. I get nauseous just from the way he's looking at her and am very tempted to throw up on him.

"You didn't have to come here, in fact we all preferred you didn't," Luke says, stepping behind Kate and pulling her back into him by the waist.

"Hey I was trying to take a picture," she complains, bringing her phone down and looking back at him. He looks down at her and chuckles lightly.

"Gross," Jace says, shuddering obnoxiously.

"You don't have to be here either," I mutter, rolling my eyes and taking a picture of the Pantheon. Jace opens his mouth to say something and takes a step closer.

"I wouldn't," Greyson grumbles, standing beside me and leaning against a wall lazily. He has a mostly passive look on his face.

I expect him to make some threat but what comes out of his mouth shocks me. He takes a deep breath, sighing out. His blue eyes are locked solely on me.
