Ariana's POV.

It was around 4 and Brooke called me. Phone convo:

M:hey girl wassup?
B:okay I don't know who this Chloe girl is but why did I hear Gray ask her out today.
M: oh sh-she moved next door to them a couple of weeks ago.
B: oh, you okay Ariana?
My words were trembling.
M: yea just fine.
B: noon tomorrow ur coming to get pizza with us.
M: okay talk to you later byee
B: byeeee
*end of convo*

He asked her out. He asked Chloe out.

Why do I feel like crying?

I told him he should. I told him I just wanted to be friends.

Maybe I don't even know what I want anymore.

I pulled my self together and forgot about Grayson. I hoped and the shower and just watched Netflix and ate ice cream the rest of the night. Then I woke up the next morning. I usually wake up around 11 so u got up and got ready to go get pizza with Brooke. I brushed my hair and slipped on my shoes and got my mom to drop me off.

I walked in and saw them. What?!? Grayson and Chloe are here?! I should have guessed. I sat on Brooke and Ethan's side. We all order some pizza. It was funny at first, then some awkward silence came.
"So Grayson are we still going to going bowling tomorrow?" I asked.

"Oh yea, I forgot. Yea we are still going." He said. I saw Chloe roll her eyes. I didn't have a problem with Chloe, she seemed clingy to be honest. I kept looking at Grayson. I need to stop. I let him go.

"I'm going to go use the bathroom." I said and got up out of the booth. I think I heard Chloe get up to. I walked across the room towards the bathroom. I stepped up to the mirror. I cleaned myself up a bit, then she walked in.

"So I'm pretty sure you heard Grayson asked me out, and that we are a thing now." She said walking over towards the mirror next to me.

"Yea." I replied drying my hands off.

"So that means No bowling tomorrow." She said.

"Excuse me?" I said.

"Look either you cancel and tell him your gonna be sick tomorrow or something, or I can walk out of this bathroom crying saying you threaten me, and well. You get the idea." She said smacking her lips and sticking her lipstick back in her bag.

I don't want Grayson thinking I'm threatening her.

"You know your a bitch, and I honestly don't know how grayson can hang around you, considering he is allergic to dogs." I said and walked out the bathroom. I sat back down. Then Chloe came back, too. I grabbed a slice of pizza and put it on my plate. I grabbed it a took a bite, we sat there and talked about our plans for the rest of summer. Later on I went home and did my usual.

*next day*

Grayson's POV.

After I took a shower, I grabbed my phone and called Ariana. We talked for a couple minutes and she decided to come over before we leave. She arrived about thirty minutes later after our call had ended. The door bell rang. I walked down the stairs and opened the door.

"Hey." I said.

"Look I need to talk to you." She said as she walked through my door.

"I don't think we should go bowling today." I cut her off.

"Why?" I questioned.

"We just shouldn't, even if I did tell you, it's not like you would believe me anyway." she said, her voice fading away at the end. She cleared her throat. "Chloe threatened me." She said.

"Chloe? No she wouldn't." I said.

"Uh, yea, she would and she did to." she said.

"Your just making up an excuse." I stated.

"Yes Grayson, my excuse is that your girlfriend, who is 'oh so innocent', threatened me. Out every other excuse I could have used I picked that one." I sensed her sarcasm.

"Well what other reason would you say that Ariana, are you just jealous that I'm with her now and I'm moving on." I said. It was silent. She just looked at me with a shocked expression.

"Wow Grayson. How about I would say that because, OH YEA ITS THE TRUTH." She said loudly.

"I knew becoming friends with you again wasn't going to end well." I said. I regretted it.

"Oh yea, you knew." She said.

"I didn't mean to say that Ariana, I didn't mean it."

"Yea just like you didn't mean that face time call. Just like you didn't mean all the things you said that night. Well guess what Grayson. I didn't mean to fall in love with you. I didn't mean for us to be friends again. But here we are right here, right now." She said. I couldn't tell if she was mad or sad.

"Ariana its jus-" I was cut off.

"Just nothing Grayson. How about I just leave." She lifted herself from the couch and walked out the front door.

Ariana's POV.

I walked back home after I left. God I'm so angry. An excuse??? Why would I use that for an excuse?! I'm just jealous? of course that must be it I'm always jealous. I walked back into my house and marched upstairs. I feel like crying. Why did I have to be friends with him?
