Val's POV

Grayson's words spun around my head.

"Your parents don't love you."

How could he say such a thing?! He knew about their deaths. Right? Of course he did! I'm his girlfriend. I mean, I think I told him... Maybe.

Whatever. That's still not something you say to someone.

I was walking around with my head down, so I didn't see that I was about to run into someone.

"Hey!" They said. "Watch where you're going."

"Sorry, I'm just a little distracted." I mumbled, bending down to pick up my phone, which he had knocked out of my hand.

I was about to grab it, but someone got there before me. I looked up into bright blue eyes. I kinda hate to say it, but they were much prettier than Grayson's hazel ones.

We stood up and he handed me my phone. "I'm Hayes, by the way."

Oh God. How did I not see it before?

I just bumped into Hayes Grier...
