Faking

Chapter 26

I couldn't sleep at all.

I walked down the stairs into the kitchen in a bad mood. I walked right into the wall, but I was barely paying attention.

Suddenly, the wall said, "Woah, sis you should pay more attention to your surroundings."

I frowned at the wall and said, "You are a wall, you can't talk."

Suddenly, I heard Vincent's voice saying, "Marco, is your sister drunk?"

The wall touched my shoulder and asked, "Did you sleep at all last night?"

I replied by saying, "Nope!"

Suddenly, I was feeling really hyper. I smiled at the wall and said, "You turned blue today! I swear you were beige yesterday!"

The wall said, "I think you should go back to sleep Madison." I frowned at the wall and said, "You can't tell me what to do! You are just a WALL!"

The wall turned me around and led me to my bedroom. It pushed me lightly towards my bed and tucked me into my blanket.

It said, "Good night Madison."

I said, "Good night wall!"

Soon, I woke up feeling much better. I slept for more than 4 hours and I was hungry. I hopped down the stairs to get some food.

In the kitchen, Tristan and Grayson were talking quietly. They were whispering.

When I arrived, they immediately stopped whispering and looked at me. Tristan said, "You finally awake?"

I said, "Yeah, I had a weird dream about how I talked with a wall."

Both of the guys smirked at me and Grayson said, "It wasn't a dream."

Huh.

I shrugged my shoulder and started to heat up pizza. Yes, I eat pizza when I wake up. I started humming a song.

Soon, the microwave dinged announcing my food was ready. I reached for my pizza and sat down on the kitchen counter with it. I was just about to put it in my mouth when Vincent snatched it out of my hand. Then, he put it in his mouth and took a bite out of it.

I glared at him and tried to take back my pizza, but he was too tall for me. I looked around until I found my pepper spray by my bag.

I ran for it and put it right in front of Vincent's face. I said, "You better hand that pizza over if you value your life."

Vincent looked at me cautiously and said, "Marco? Do you think your sister will really spray it?"

From behind me I heard, "Madison will do anything to get her pizza."

I said, "I'm giving you five seconds, Vincent."

He seemed to finally understand because he handed it over. I bit into my pizza and sighed happily.

I heard Vincent say, "She still loves to eat."

I smirked at him.

Suddenly, I asked, "How's Grace?"

Vincent said, "She's my girlfriend now."

I stopped whatever I was doing and gawked at him. All the guys laughed at my expression and I heard Tristan say, "He finally asked her out." I smiled widely at Vincent and gave him a pat on his back. I said, "About time you did."

He grinned mischievously at me and said, "I think you already passed your time to ask out you know who."

Everyone and everything went quiet and still. Vincent was very oblivious while others all understood what it meant.

I was frozen. Ever since they came back, all I have been thinking about was what I would do when they were gone. I still knew how much I missed being Marco, but I missed being with Grayson the most. I cautiously looked over at him and noticed how he was staring at me with an unreadable expression.

Marco coughed awkwardly and said, "Uhm.. how about we all go do something today?"

Soon, the awkward silence went away and everyone started telling ideas on what to do. All the boys were staying for about two weeks.

Suddenly, my parents walked into the kitchen and introduced themselves to the other guys. My dad looked at them cautiously while my mom smiled cheerfully at all of them.

When my mom went to say hello to Grayson she said, "Ah, you must be Grayson. I have wanted to meet you for a long time! Madison told me so much about you!"

My face turned bright red and I glared at my own mother. She wasn't supposed to tell him that! Everyone in the room laughed at what she said except my dad. My dad was staring questionably at Grayson.

Grayson said, "Nice to meet you. Uhm, I didn't know Madison talked about me."

I felt like I could fly when he said my name. I missed him calling me that.

I was brought out of my trance when my mom said, "Oh she talks about you all the time! You know she.."

I ran up to my mom and covered her mouth with my hand. I laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha introductions are over. Time to uhm leave!"

Grayson raised his eyebrows at me while Vincent said, "I want to hear more of what your mom has to say!"

I narrowed my eyes at him and gave him the expression that said, "You better shut up unless you want pepper spray all in your eyes."

He gulped visually and shut up.

Marco came to my rescue and said, "We were planning to go out anyways. You should go change Madison and we will meet you outside in a bit."

I nodded and looked at my mom. I gave her an expression that said, "I am going to get my revenge later." She just ignored my expression and smiled evily at me.

I sighed and ran up to my room. I took a quick shower and changed into short jean shorts with a simple T-shirt.

I ran down the stairs. I was about to leave the house when my mom pulled my arm and said, "Grayson is hot. Your mother approves." I rolled my eyes at my childish mom and said, "I will surely tell dad that." With that said I ran out the door.

When I arrived, Elliot and Jason said, "About time you came out!"

I replied, "I didn't take as long as how other girls usually take."

I saw Vincent shudder at those words. He said, "You should see how long Grace takes."

I smirked at the others.

Marco said, "Well, Elliot and Jason can ride in Vincent's car while Tristan can ride in my car. Madison you can ride in Grayson's car because you still didn't pass your driving licenses test."

Even before I could tell him that I was close to passing this time, all the guys went into their respective cars.

Grayson shouted, "You coming?"

I nodded and ran to his car.

I asked, "Where are we going?"

He shrugged and said, "Sightseeing."

It felt weird that we haven't even talked about what happened in the past. I didn't know if I wanted to talk about it or not. What I did know was that I wanted to be with him again.
