Faking

Chapter 7

A week has passed and people have started accepting that I was going to be neutral.

Some just ignored me while some were nice to me.

There were some people who tried to hurt me but Vincent usually scared them away.

He was my big protector.

Tristan and I have become close and we talk to one another a lot. He helped me a lot with school work because he was super smart.

Grayson ignored me most of the time unless I just annoyed him too much.

All he said was, "Stop it."

Then, he went back to ignoring me.

I don't know why but whenever I look at him, my mind goes back to his changing room.

And his abs.

Noo.

Forget. Forget.

It was not helping.

Suddenly, Vincent came over to me and said, "There is going to be a dance with a girls only high school near here tomorrow night. It's a masquerade ball and the girls are really hot there."

I rolled my eyes at his playful ways and said, "One of these days, you will be tied down to a girl and you won't be able to play around so much."

He smirked and said, "Nahh, I like being single and playing with the ladies."

I liked Vincent in a friendly way but I hated how he loved to play with girls.

Guys shouldn't treat girls like that.

Tristan came over and asked, "Hey, are you going to the dance tomorrow?"

I shrugged my shoulder and said I wasn't so sure.

Suddenly, Grayson walked by and Tristan glared at him.

I still didn't know why they hated each other so much.

The hatred Tristan had for Grayson was much stronger than the hatred Grayson had for Tristan.

Most of the time, Grayson ignored everyone in school. He just talked to Elliot.

I said, "Hey guys, I will be right back!"

I followed Grayson trailing behind him.

He didn't seem to notice me following him.

Suddenly, he walked faster with his long legs.

Ugh.

I started running after him, but he suddenly disappeared!

I stopped running and looked around.

He was no where to be found.

When I started to walk back someone pulled me into an empty classroom.

The person pushed me towards the door and said, "You know you are really a stalker now. Following me around all the time and staring at me nonstop in class."

I blushed because this person was Grayson.

Oh god.

I started becoming very concious of how close he was to me.

I started avoiding eye contact with him because his eyes made me want to melt.

Oh, and my heart was thumping loudly. Grayson probably heard it due to our close proximity.

Suddenly, Grayson pulled my chin up and said, "Do you have a crush on me?"

I started stammering by saying, "No! What no! No never! What hahahahah.. no.."
