Best Friends ; JG

~15~

As I approach Ms. Sanz to ask her who was this Cameron guy I heard a voice call after me. I turn around and see a tall tanned browned haired boy, no not Jack, but I'm pretty sure it was that Cameron guy I was partnered with.

"Um... Are you Cameron?"

"How'd you know" he asked with a slight chuckle in between, it obviously wasn't a serious question.

"Lucky guess" I shrugged and sat down.

"So what do you what to do?" He asked leaning back on his muscular arms.

"Um shouldn't we both decided" I asked copying his position. He then leaned forward noticing I copied him.

"we both know you're the good dancer here" he said directly to my eyes. I copied his position once more and leaned forward.

"We'll we're both going to be dancing so we both have to decide on a genre" I said with a smirk.

"Quit copying me" he said with a chuckle.

"Free country. I can do what I want"

" this country is not free, I'm surprised that we don't have to pay for air" he said.

"Air is a natural resource, you don't have to pay for it"

"Then why do you have to pay to go to parks?... Grass is a natural resource too" he stated.

I stayed quiet because he was right. Last summer, me and my family went to a park with a lake and had to pay for each head, even the kids.

"Cats got your tongue?" He said
interrupting my thoughts. I glanced at him and saw a smile plastered on his face.

"Shut up" I say with a light chuckle before standing up.

"And get up, because were dancing" I said fixing my leggings.

I changed back to my regular clothes after the period ended and started walking to my next period, I felt my arm being grabbed. My first reaction was to hank my arm away and my second was to slap the person.

That's until I saw it was Holly.

"OH my god! I was this close in slapping who ever grabbed me" I said letting out a breath that I didn't know I was holding.

"But you saw my beautiful face" she teased.

"Nah, I'd still slap you if you give me a reason to" I joked and we both walked to lunch together.

"So.... Grayson" Holly said. She's very good at getting straight to the point. It's something I love and hate about her.

"What about him" I asked taking a bite of my sandwich.

"Are you gonna talk to him?" She asked.

"I don't know, I mean I think he made it pretty clear he didn't want to talk to me when he walk away without hearing my side of the whole, I kissed Jack situation" I explained.

"Yeah what's up with that? Did you really?"

"I mean yes, but it was by accident... Kinda" I said twisting the bottle cap off of my water bottle.

"What do you mean by accident?"

"I mean, we started lashing out on each other and he started talking about how I only knew Grayson for a day but yet I started dating him instead of Jack, who I knew for 4 years and then he kissed me" I said taking another bit.

"So he kissed you? You didn't kiss him?" She said, but when I glanced at her, she wasn't looking directly at me. She was looking more upwards.

"Holly what are you-" I pause and swallow the rest of my sandwich that laid in my mouth as I saw my boyfriend... Well ex.... standing behind me.

"Can we...can we talk?" He asked hesitantly

"Are you gonna let me speak?"

"Yeah"

I threw my half eaten sandwich away and grabbed my bottle of water and started walking out the lunch room with Grayson.

[skip convo]

"And I was gonna tell you but since I was so focused on forgetting the stupid kiss, I ended up forgetting to tell you, and trust me I regret every thing." I finished explaining.

I looked at him as he started.... Thinking? Or maybe he just didn't wanna talk to me, "Grayson if he don't wanna talk to me anymore I get-"

"I still wanna talk to you" he said cutting me off. A smile almost spread across my face until he continued to speak.

"But just as friends...."

I stared at him blankly, his breaking up with me?

I started getting teary eyed and right when a tear was about to fall, I looked down at my shoes.

"Y-yeah, just friends... That's cool" I said wiping away the tear quickly. I knew he wasn't stupid and he saw the tear but he decided to ignore it.

"Listen um, I gotta go" I said grabbing my bag.

"Ash—" I heard him say before I turned the hall.

As I was rushing down the hallways I held in my tears. I heard my name being called again except it wasn't from Grayson. I looked up and saw the one person I didn't wanna lay my eyes on.

"You...." I mumbled under my breath.

A/N-
NO MORE Grayson/ Ashlynn but seriously, Grayson is sensitive as shittttz in this book. Really Grayson? Over a freaking kiss?

Then again, he was always suspicious about Jack and Ashlynn's 'friendship'
