Vodka Kisses

0113- Know Your Frenemies

Once my alarm goes off I slip downstairs and drink some coffee before getting ready for school. It's been ages since I've spoke to the girls. They text me often trying to get me to go over there, but I don't.

I get dressed into a black leather skirt with a slit up the side and then put on a white crop top and a black jacket. I then coat myself in my perfume.

Once I'm dressed I do my hair and makeup. I grab my bag and head downstairs.

"Hey hun." Mom says as I grab my car keys.

"You haven't eaten." She points out and I shrug. "I'll grab something at school I'm not hungry." I say and she nods.

"I love your outfit you look beautiful, have fun." She smiles. I bid her a goodbye before climbing into my car and heading home.

I get to school and I head for the lunch hall so I could grab something to snack on.

I walk into the lunch hall and all the girls turn to look at me.

Hannah waves at me and I just turn back around and leave the cafeteria and head for the court yard.

"Hey, you." Noel grabs my hand.

"Noel." I sigh and he stands

"Hey Mike! You ready for this weeks game?" Noel asks as Mike walks past us. I grab my hand from Noel's. I'm so fucking busted.

"Uh yeah." Mike says looking from my hand to Noel's. He's going to tell Logan and I'm going to get an ear full.

"Great, can't wait to see you there." Noel says and tries to steer me away.

Since when did Noel talk to Mike? Aria and Logan will have a field trip when they find out.

"I've gotta see Mr Fitz, I'll see you later." Noel squeezes my shoulder and walks away from us.

"Grace." Mike says and I smile awkwardly. "Hi." I say.

"Seen my brother by any chance?" He asks and I shrug. "He's been hiding under for a week, recon you can convince him to leave?" I laugh.

"Probably not he's like obsessed with you." Mike chuckles.

"How've you been?" I ask and he shrugs. "Alright, considering." He says and I nod.

"I'm here if you need anything." I say and he smiles.

"Can you ask Logan to come round? I haven't seen him much since he moved out." He says and I nod. "Of course." I squeeze his shoulder and head to 1st period.

****
What is that noise?

I walk round to see Principal Hackett and
"Noel what did you do?" I ask looking at Mr Hackett and a security guard.

"What? Nothing." He says frustrated.

"My office Mr Kahn." Principal Hackett says and he just walks away. I look around to see the girls watching the scene when my phone buzzes.

A is for Alison, not amateur.
          -A

I fucking knew it.

The girls look from their phones to me and I just walk away.

"Grace wait!" Hannah calls and I just sigh and keep my head down as I walk away.

****
I spent the day ignoring them. I don't care how many texts they send I just can't be bothered for this.

When I get home my dad was stood in the kitchen on the phone with my moms arms wrapped around him.

My mum waved at me when she noticed me. She points to my dad and then covers her mouth with her pointer finger.

I point to upstairs and she nods.

I head upstairs and sit on my bed. I pull out my laptop and immediately start some homework.

I get bored so I end up just watching a film on my laptop.

There was a knock on my door and I look up to see my mom stood there.

"Hi." She smiles and I smile back.

"We're thinking of going out for dinner, would you like to come?" She asks and I nod. "Sure." I say and a wide smile spreads across her face.

"Great, I know exactly what dress you could wear." Mom says and bypasses me to walk into my closet.

I suddenly sit straight and wait anxiously to bring out a dress. I don't even know what's hidden in there.

When she comes back out I take a breath of relief.

She places a strapless mini dress on my bed and squeezes my hand.

"I'll leave you to get ready." She says and I smile and thank her. I take off my outfit that I wore to school and replace it with my dress.

I head into my bathroom and touch up my makeup after doing a line.

Once I get out of the bathroom I jump as Logan stands by the window.

"Woah." He says looking down at my dress.

"What the hell are you doing?" I whisper shout.

"You didn't answer my calls or texts, I wanted to check in." He says and I shake my head.

"I'm fine, just busy. I'll call you tomorrow or something." I say and he raises an eyebrow.

I'm so busted.

Shit.

"What did you do?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow. Denial all the way!

"Excuse me?" I ask putting my hands on my hips.

"Why are you acting so weird?" He asks.

"My parents are literally downstairs. Not just my mom, but my dad too." I say and he nods.

"Okay, just call me." He says kissing my forehead and then heading out the window.

I close the window and then grab a small purse and pair it with my heels. I put it on my shoulder before spraying my perfume and applying some gloss.

I head downstairs and my parents are stood, side by side talking.

"Hi. You ready?" Dad asks and I nod.

Mom links arm's with me and tells me how beautiful I look as we walk to dad's car.

"How did your exams go?" Dad asks on the way to the restaurant. "Good." I say looking out the window.

"And school?" He asks and I nod. "Also good." I reply.

"Good, keeping up your grades means you'll be joining us in Penn in no time." He says and I squeeze my hands together.

I've never wanted to go to UPenn, that's Spencer's dream. Not mine.
