"A chat" is never a good sign. This would be the one instance you'd ask for someone to help you. Yet, Jameson only looked at you smiling while Grayson didn't look at you at all as Avery dragged you to her room.

"You have some explaining to do, y/n." Avery sat you down in a chair before you could say anything.

"Well so do you-" You began to speak before you felt the hot air of a blow dryer drying your hair.

"You're the one who ran to me all drenched with Grayson."

"I wasn't with Grayson." You explained, squinting the the blow dryer came to closer to your eyes. "He followed me or something."

Avery turned off the blow dryer with a click, setting it on the table. "Then why did you run all that way to me?"

"I told you. I had a feeling."

She sighed. "You don't need to do that. I can handle what happens to me."

"And I can help you with it." You turned around in the chair.  "I know I'm not responsible for you, but I don't trust him."

"You don't trust any guys."

"Not true, there's...there's"

"There's?"

"Plenty, and too many to list now." You stood up from the chair. "I just don't want anything or anyone to harm you, okay?"

"And I understand that. But you have to be less tense."

You laughed. "Tense? Im like the least tense person out here. You should tell that to Gray." You playfully scoffed.

"You still need to explain to me what happened before you barged in."

"Fine, but only if I go to the library with you and Jameson."

"Deal, but go get changed first."

"See you then, Ave."

You arrived at the first library you went to. You had changed quickly into a normal shirt and shorts that went to your knees. You began searching through the shelves to get a head start on looking through all of the books. Same order, take out book, take off cover, put back cover, return book.

"Thanks for getting starting before me." You heard a female voice say.

"Was that sarcasm or genuine, Avery?" You grinned, raising an eyebrow.

Avery joined you looking through the books in silence until she said something.

"So what were you doing with Grayson earlier?" She asked, keeping her eyes on the nultiple books.

"I wasn't with him. We just so happened to be in the same spot."

"Were you two in the pool together?"

"Yeah, but we were more than five feet apart so you know." You lied casually. "It's a big pool."

Jameson appeared 30 minutes later. Grayson let himself in 1 minutes later.

"What are we doing today?" Grayson asked his brother when he walked in.

You answered for him. "Fuck no, we?"

Grayson was wearing, yet again, another suit, which you found insane. Who would wear a suit after swimming?

Grayson gave you a glare when you cursed. "Can't an older brother spend time with his younger brother, the imbecile, who is constantly upholding a barrior, and the interloper of dubious intentions without getting third degree?" He asked you.
