Shattered Hearts

Chapter Six: Grey

When it's been a few hours,but it felt like days.
-Brent Faiyaz

Grey POV:
Why does time move so slow?

All I have been thinking about is talking to Avyanna again. I felt at peace when we last talked. Even though she didn't know, she made me feel like I wasn't a killer.

She has been stuck in my mind and won't leave. I don't want her too. I just want her.

This is the most boring class. Over half the class is asleep. I might be asleep in a couple of minutes too.

I should have never chosen world history. I can't even understand what the teacher is saying. He is just writing stuff on the bored mumbling.

I kinda feel bad for him. I was told his wife just divorced him and took all his money. He was then told he couldn't leave his job because of their desperate need for a teacher. I can bet he doesn't want to be here any more than we do.

Ring!

Sam: What's going between you and Avyanna?
Me: wdym?
Sam: I heard and saw you guys holding hands. I mean I'm not mad, that's good for you.
Me: you saw?
Sam: the whole school did. It's on the gossip page.
Me:the gossip page????
Sam:the school has a tik tok page. It has everything on it.
Me: whats the name of it.
Sam: It's just the school name, Oak Ridge Elite High.

I quickly looked it up. The first video I see is of me and Avyanna holding hands. I look like a lovesick puppy. The caption says, 'new boy with Avyanna????'

I wonder how Avyanna feels about this.

Me: Hey.
Avyanna:Hi
Me:Have you seen the video?
Avyanna:Yes.
Me:Are you ok with it?
Avyanna: It's fine.
Me: Oh. I thought since it looked like we were together.
Avyanna: And? Is there something wrong with us being together?
Me: No,no! I just thought you wouldn't want to be with me.
Avyanna: What if I do?

I instantly died there. Death of Grey Ledger. May he rest in peace.

Me: You do? Because I want to be with you.
Me: Am I coming on too strong?
Me: you know what nevermind.
Me: Forget I said anything.
Avyanna: calm down. I had to do something. But I might like you.
Avyanna: Are you still there?
Me: I'm here.
Me: I just never expected that,but I like you too.
Me: stop texting
Avyanna: what?
Me: we are not going to have this conversation on text. I'm a gentleman.
Avyanna: Oh,ok. See you at lunch.
Me: See you.

I want the time to speed up more than ever right now.

Sam: You see the video?
Me: Yea
Sam: And?
Me: It's whatever.
Me: Now everybody knows that she will be my girl.
Sam: Your girl?
Me: YUP
Sam: Good for you.

The bell rings. I move out of the classroom faster than Usain Bolt.  But I bump into someone on my way out.

"My fault," I saw trying to get past her. Screech. What was that? I look down and see a girl talking to me.

Her voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard. It is irritating to my ears.

"Hi Grey," she says, trailing her hands up my arm.

Gross.

I quickly put her hand off of me. "Hi," I say quickly and tried to walk past her. But somehow she pushes me back.

Why can't I just walk away?

"Where do you think you're going? I saw you with that brat, Avyanna. You could do so much better. With someone like me," she says.

Brat?

I don't know who she thinks she is but Avyanna is no brat. Everyone has haters. This girl must be Avyanna's.

"So what do you think," she asks. "I think no," I replied again, trying to get past her. But, no, I can't get past her because she pushes me back.

"Avyanna is nothing. Good for nothing little girl. I am so much better," she shouts. She is practically throwing a tantrum.

Now she is just screaming and pointing her nails on my chest. Those nails hurt. They feel like knives. Why do girls like these?

"Calm down,'' I tell her, trying to get her to stop making a fool of herself.

If this is how she flirts, she is not very good at it.

Oh no. She started crying. Literally bawling on the floor. I can't just let her cry. I give her a hug. She instantly sobers up.

All of a sudden her lips are on mine. It feels like I'm kissing plastic. Brotha ew. I try to push her off of me, but she won't let go.

I finally get her off and look around. The one person I didn't want to see saw it. Avyanna. She looks like she is about to break.

It hurts me so much to know I am hurting her. But I guess that's what I do best. Hurt people.

She starts running away and I chase after her. I can hear the girl laughing in the background calling Avyanna names. I shout Avyanna's name multiple times, but she keeps going.

What have I done?

Triple Update!!! Thoughts?
