Shattered Asylum

Chapter 28

I'm nervous to see Grayson. We haven't talked about what happened during the camping trip, I don't know if I want to. What if he didn't like it? What if he was just using me like every other girl? It probably wasn't important to him but it was to me and I hope he isn't playing games.

I sit down in English. I was subconsciously looking for Grayson, trying to hide behind the students. I've never had this feeling about a guy before, I don't know if I like it or not. He's all I think about, I think about him even if  I don't realize I am, he clouds my judgment. I'm scared to feel this way about him.

My thoughts get interrupted when I feel someone tapping my shoulder. "You good? I've been talking to you for the past ten minutes." Nora asks, her hands folded in front of her. See! This is what i'm talking about, he won't get out of my head. "Y-Yeah, sorry. Just distracted." I say, rubbing my eyes.

"About?" She asks, curious. I haven't told anyone about the kiss. I kind of want it to be a secret and Nora has a big mouth. I have been wanting to talk about it with someone tho. "Just... Our tournament tomorrow." I lie. I mean I have been thinking about that... kind of.

"Don't worry, we are going to crush the Bulldogs." She says, lightly punching my arm. "Yeah, you're right." I say. I wanted to watch Grayson's second to last game before the playoffs but we are leaving during school tomorrow to go to Holbrook for our match.

Mrs. Jean tells us to take our seats, Nora smiles at me before sitting down. She hasn't even looked at Madison since last week.

Every time I mention Vinnie's name, her face turns tomato red and shuts down. Not going to lie, I like that she is so giddy when it comes to him, she must really likes him.

My stomach is doing black flips as I make my way to science. I don't know if it's from seeing Grayson or wondering if he's going to want to talk about the kiss. I think I might have a heart attack with how fast it's beating.

When I get to the doorway, I peak my head inside to see if the close is clear. "What are we looking at?" I hear someone whisper in my ear. I yelp, turning around and meeting a hard chest. I look up to see Grayson smirking at me. I feel my face burning. Welp, there goes my plan of hiding.

"I-I was just... scoping the room, making sure nothing bad is going on in there." I say, looking back into the class. "Close is clear." I walk in, going to my seat. I hear Grayson chuckle, following me. "You are so weird." He says, sitting down next to me. "Thank you?" I say more as a question. Is that suppose to be a compliment?

"Trust me, it's a good thing." He says, getting out his homework. "Who are you guys playing tomorrow?" I ask, standing up to turn in my assignment. I grab his too before making my way to Mr. Owen's desk.

I sit back down in my seat and look at him, waiting for an answer. "Funny you brought that up, we are actually playing against your old school." He says, scratching his arm. "Huh, I thought we were a 3A school." I say, confused. My old school is barely 2A.  

"We are, I don't know why we are playing them." He says, shrugging. Daniel doesn't play sports, he doesn't even watch them. I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know what football is. "Well, easy win for us." I say. They suck at sports, their soccer and volleyball teams were the only decent ones and even that wasn't very good.

I take a minute to look at Grayson's outfit. He has a black jersey with white stripes outlining the neck and arms. He has dark blue skinny jeans rolled up at the ankles and paired it with white shoes. He takes off his hat and runs his fingers through his hair before putting it back on.

Holy hotness.

He smirks at me, knowing I was checking him out. I blush, looking at my desk. A few minutes later I feel my phone buzz, I take it out to see Grayson texted me.
