Today is the second day of school. Yesterday I found out Grants in all of my classes. Yay for me. Why would he care though, I mean he can't like me anymore he has the most popular senior in school as a girlfriend. He won't like me like I like him.

1st period English has me oh so excited. I've never been as good at English as I am at Math or any other subject. I mean it's pointless unless you want to be a writer, other than that you only have to know how to spell and what words mean.

Come on America, let's do this tomorrow. I need a nap

I look over to the window and my eyes land on him. He's staring at me... I look at him and he immediately turns his head away. Very mature Grant. I'm lost in thought doodling and then I hear dreaded words. "Ms. Samson?" My english teacher Mrs. Pottersmith knows when I'm doodling. It gets oh so annoying.
"Yes?"
"The answer Rose, what's the answer to number three in your workbook?"
"The answer is Variation and the original sentence is wrong because of so many reasons I wouldn't get me started."

That a good enough answer? The class around me laughs and she looks so annoyed but she just nods before moving on. Grant and I look at each other and he's mouthing good job.

All I do is look back down and doodle.

The bell rings and we leave behind Mrs. Long-last-name and move to Pre-Calculus when someone grabs me and pulls me into a janitors closet. I turn on the light and it's Grant. I go to leave when he pulls me around and hugs me as I stand as straight as a statue. He pulls off of me and says, "I'm so sorry I know we haven't talked in a long time but I needed to talk to you."
"So the janitors closet is the preferred place to hug me and then not be seen with me again until after school is over?"
"No.... I'm sitting next to you the rest of the day I swear."
"Swearing isn't good Grant, besides don't you need to be in the back texting Lina?"
He flinches as I say her name and I immediately regret it.
"Lina dumped me this morning to date the captain of the wrestling team. I should've listened to you... You warned me."

That I did Grant, that I did. The minute bell rings and we go to class, sitting next to each other in the back as I get a text.

Grant: Meet up tonight at the park but just you and me we need to talk

Me: Okie Dokie be there at 11 I'll slip out when dad goes to his late shift

Grant: Its the third day he's worked late whats happening?

Me: Guy got fired, schedules changed. He basically lives at that hospital now...

Grant: Oh okay... See you at 11 geekers

Me: Sitting right next to you starfish

Okay let me explain the nicknames, he calls me geekers to get on my nerves but secretly I love it. I call him starfish because he is one. It works this way.

The bell rings and we have a free period so Grant takes me to KFC and gets me a potato bowl and to Taco Bell fora two pack of Cinnabon delights... I love my best friend!

The rest of the school day goes by and he's by my side as he promised. He drives me home and I walk in to find a note from dad on the counter that reads:
Rose,
working an extra shift because someone quit and they need real help. Pizza rolls in the freezer!
XOXO~ Dad

Yay alone again. I go upstairs and get ready to go to the park a little earlier than planned and Grant texts me.
Grant: Do you care if I pick you up a little earlier? Or do I have to stick to the script on this one?
Me: Dads gone off again I'm ready whenever you wanna pick me up
Grant: Coming now with dinner ;)
Me: Thank God I don't have to eat pulled pork sandwiches again tonight

Our dinners in this house are gross. I mean I like them but we have one meal one day then leftovers and fend-for-yourselves the rest of the week. It gets pretty bad in here.

About 10 minutes go by and I hear a knock on my door. I open the door for Grant to walk in with my favorite salad in the world from Panara. We eat in silence and finally he says, "The emptiness in here must suck geekers..."
"No I thought it felt like happiness and rainbows!'
"Shut up Miss Sarcasm. I'm worried about you,"
"Why are you worried, and of all people, why me?"
"Because your my best friend, and I care about you..."
"So how are you gonna stop it? I'll be alone as long as my dad has his job. Which is basically until his retirement at this rate."
"I'm coming over every night you're dad is working. All I need is a text and I'll be here in 10 minutes or less."

I love how he easily can lift my mood. We decide to stay in and we watch a movie in our theater room. The movie was just starting when Grant put his arm over my shoulder. I didn't think about it at all and I even laid my head on him. When the movie was over we watched about four more and it was 4 in the morning. My dad got home at five so Grant got all his things he brought over and went to leave. Right before he left I walked after him and he told me if I didn't get at least an hour of sleep he'd smack me when he picked me up at 7. He walked over to me, hugged me and kissed me, then left.

When he left all I could think was this one sentence.
What the hell just happened...
