I had lunch with Grayson again today. We were meant to have lunch alone, but we eventually decided to sit with Ethan, Aaron, Cameron and Jack.

He was stood at my locker before lunch, waiting for me again. I smiled and walked over to him.

When we walked into the lunch hall, we got a few stares but not as many as the first day. Eleanor wasn't around today. She must've been ill or something, she didn't tell me. We waited in line for our lunch and eventually got our food. We started heading towards a table in the corner but we heard someone shout;

"Ay, you two love birds not sitting with us today?"

I turned to where the voice came from to see it was Cameron shouting really loudly. Obviously, this attracted a lot of attention and laughter from everyone in the lunch hall. I blushed a bit but Grayson seemed really angry. He quickly put his head down and grabbed my hand, leading us over to Ethan, Aaron, Cameron and Jack.

"Dude, shut up!" Grayson hissed. I sat down, quickly eating my food.

"What's your problem Gray? Don't you want people knowing? Bro, you're in loooove. Face it." Cameron teased. That's when it hit me. Grayson was embarrassed and didn't want people to know.

"Cam, leave it." Ethan spoke.

"Cameron has a point. Don't you want people knowing?" I asked, tearing up a bit.

"You said it yourself Rose, there's nothing for people to know." Grayson spoke. Ouch.

"That was the other day Grayson. I thought you weren't like that. Guess I was correct about what sort of person you are. I must know you better than you know yourself then." I mumbled and I pushed my food to the middle of the table, picked up my water bottle and stood up without saying a word. I walked away. All eyes were on me.

"Look what you've done Cameron. Stay here, I need to talk to Rose." Ethan spoke.

"It was only a joke." Cameron mumbled.

"No, I'll go. You don't know her." Grayson said, tugging Ethan back by his arm.

"Apparently, neither do you." Ethan replied and left the lunch hall.

"Rose, where are you?" I heard a voice calling. Shit, Grayson. I hid behind the English room door. Obviously, I had to sneeze. And in walked... Ethan?

"What do you want?" I asked, wiping away my tears.

"Please don't cry, I've come to talk to you."

"What about? There's nothing to say."

"I know my brother. Yeah, you think he has a bad reputation-"

"He does have a bad reputation. He's a fuck boy." I cut him off.

"As I was saying, you think he has a bad reputation but I know when he really likes someone. I shouldn't tell you this but he's shown me the texts you guys send. He's asked me for help on what sort of things to say to you." Ethan whispered.

"Great, so what I read wasn't actually from him." I cut him off again.

"He was terrified about saying something wrong. He was so nervous about talking to you. He didn't want to mess anything up." Ethan sighed.

"Well, he messed up in other ways. I can't be with someone who's embarrassed by me. I don't even understand why he's embarrassed by me."

"Neither do I considering I know how he honestly feels about you. I think it's because he's never had a serious girlfriend before, he's always had little flings. I think he's really nervous about becoming serious with someone but you've legit changed him."

The bell rang for lessons.

"Can you tell him something from me?" I mumbled.

"Sure, what is it?" Ethan smiled a little, rubbing my back in small circular motions.

"Tell him I'm starting from the beginning with him. He told me I have to learn to trust, but that's extremely difficult with him. It's back to the beginning." I stuttered and walked to my next lesson, which luckily wasn't with Grayson or his friends.
