I was sitting in English class when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Gasps were heard around the classroom, everyone was looking at me. There better be someone with a bouquet of roses behind me or something. I turned around just to be disappointed, it wasn't someone confessing their undying love for me. "Grace, did you see my message?" Avery looked at me with a slightly sad and disappointed expression, everyone gasped again. "Yeah, but I didn't read it and I blocked you." I turn around.

"Oh my god, how dare she! just to get a message from Avery Davis, I would kill for it!" Someone loudly whispers, probably Carson Finch. "Wait what?" She sounded confused and even more hurt. "Grace, why would you do that?..." She puts her hand on my shoulder again, I turn my head at her again. "Don't fucking touch me." I glared at her, she quickly took her hand off me. "Don't be so mean, Grace, apologize." someone across the room says.

Everyone started telling me to apologize and how rude I was.

All I could hear was "Grace is trying to make it up to you blah blah blah." and "Grace is trying to be nice, you're so mean lately." God, can everyone just shut the fuck up! I don't give a shit about her.

I wanted to cry, or an even better fucking idea, shoot up this school. I stood up from my seat, "Grace" she reached out a hand to me, but I slapped it away. People started going crazy like I just slapped the queen of England across the face and then spat on her shoes. I headed to the door and slammed it shut behind me.

I felt tears run down my face as soon as I went out, I ran to the bathroom and hid in the stalls. Now everyone fucking hates me, it's always Avery this Avery that! The whole cheer squad knew I liked Ezra, but no one cared when she kissed him! No one bothered asking me if I was okay! Only Hazel and Adam were actually there for me.

After like 20 minutes of crying, I walked out of the stall and begin washing my hands, our school bathroom was fucking disgusting. I was about to walk out, but then I bumped into someone. I looked up to see a tall boy with pitch-black hair, Ryder Clark, Ezra's best friend. his face goes red. "Shit wrong bathroom-" He cuts himself off.

"Were you just crying? Are you okay?" Ryder looks at me worried. I couldn't hold it in, I started crying again. I buried my face into my hands. "Fuck, sorry, do you want to talk about it?" He puts his hands on my shoulders. "N-no it's fine..." I say while ripping my tears away, but they kept on pouring. "No It's not fine, c'mon, want to go to the field or something?" Ryder strokes my shoulder, and I nodded.

He held my wrist and dragged me to the back of the school, I felt my heart pounding like crazy. It wasn't raining anymore, it was sunny now some grass dried. We got to the back and sat at the bottom of a tree. I've only really talk to Ryder a few times, but he's really nice, and he also smells really nice.

"Is it about Ezra? Sorry I just heard about the drama, I feel so bad for you." He says sympathetically. "Not really, more just about Avery." I brought my knees to my chest. "People praise her too much, like yeah she's charming, nice whatever. but when she did that to you. People just brush that off, so I kinda started hating her secretly. Because god forbids anyone be mean to her!" He rants, finally someone who fucking gets me.

"Yeah, she acts so innocent and that she's an angel! The whole time we were friends, she's been one-upping me!" I groaned, I looked at him and he smiled. "She's honestly mid. She has so much pretty privilege that it is annoying. Sometimes I wonder if she sold her soul for this type of life, like how does everyone like you so much? I'm so glad I'm not brainwashed by her like everyone else." He leans back on the tree.

"Is it alright if you could tell me what happened?" Ryder questions me with a concerned look.

I continued on telling him the whole story, but of course not what happened at the locker room that made her friend me. "Why would I send you a friend request randomly, that's just weird." Ryder flicks a bug off his shoulder. "I don't know..." I lied, I know damn well why. "She's probably just trying to start more drama." He sighs.

"Yeah, maybe..." I began pulling the grass, it went silent for a few seconds, the expression on his face looked like he was thinking about something.

"It's so weird how she kissed him, then when Ezra ask her for her number, she said no and to fuck off and said that he was ugly, and his personality was obnoxious. I swear that girl is evil or something."

That just confirmed everything, Avery is in fact a lesbian and not bilingual. WHY THE FUCK DID SHE DO THAT TO ME THEN? "I feel like I'm gonna explode." I gripped onto the grass tightly, I wanted to punch something or someone. Kinda wanted to punch Ryder, not in a bad way. He didn't do anything. "What's wrong?" Ryder tilts his head to look at me. "She doesn't even fucking like him, but she did that. I don't know what I did to her, we've never gotten in a fight when we were friends." I crossed my arms and leaned back on the tree.

We skipped the rest of school talking for hours even when it was lunch he didn't leave me, he's such a nice guy.

After school, I got to the spot at the front of the school, the spot where Adam picks me up. Thank the lord we didn't have practice today, I would've bitch slap the fuck out of Avery. Hazel came up to me and hugged me, but once we let go, she looked concerned. "Where were you at Lunch? Me, Layla, and Talei were looking everywhere for you..." She questions me worried.

"Girl, I think I'm in love! Like I'm over him, Ezra was so like 2 weeks ago!" I say excitedly while jumping around, we both start squealing. "Ugh, shut up, you guys are hurting my ears." Adam groans and chucks an empty Red Bull can behind him, and It hits some poor random guy in the head. "Whoops sorry." He smiles at the guy, but once they walk away, he starts laughing.

"Anyway, what got yous screaming the fuck." Adam dug his hands into his pockets. "Grace likes someone!!!" Hazel announces, and we both start squealing again. "Uh oh, here we go again..." He groans.
