Grace's POV
My phone starts ringing I set my Chemistry book down. Looking at the screen a see Jake's face. I smile we talked like ten minutes ago and he knows I need to study. I answer a little frustrated with him and a lot frustrated with ionic compounds.
"Jake, how am I supposed to pass my Chemistry test if you won't let me study?" I ask him.
To my surprise it's not Jake on the other end but Benjamin.
"Hello Grace, I'm sorry I interrupted your studying. It's actually not Jake it's Benjamin." Benjamin tells me.
Jake filled me in on what happened or more correctly what didn't happen with Nat and Benjamin. I would be mad at her for that if, you know, I wasn't already mad enough that we aren't friends anymore. It's a lot easier to not be friends with her when we live across the country from each other.
"That's okay Benjamin, what can I help you with.
"I have a huge favor to ask of you, Grace." He tells me.
I am kinda cautious as to what he needs from me. I may be dating his BFF but Benjamin and I don't really talk since that first night. Any dope could tell you he is sad about Natalia. I have a sneaking suspicion that this favor has to do with her.
"What?" I ask very wary now.
"I need you to get Natalia to come to our New York concert tomorrow night." He tells me.
Yep, sadly I am right.
"I'm sorry but I'm not friends with Natalia anymore."
"I know that but it's really important." He pleads.
"Look Benjamin, I really want to help you but she hates me. She wouldn't listen to me even if I called." I tell him.
"No way. I refuse to accept that Grace, you two are best friends, I don't know what went down with you guys, and I know you guys are both strong willed but I bet you both regret what you said. You guys are best friends the forever is a given. Don't do this for me do it for you. You need her and she needs you. I need to know why she never called me. Please Grace, just try."
I must admit. Benjamin makes a pretty good case.
"Okay I was going anyway, Harvard's on the way." I tell him.
"Whatever happened to her going to school in Florida to be a teacher?" He asks me.
"I heard that she told her mom, and her mom told her she would pay for Harvard for law only." I say sadly.
"Oh wow." He says. "She must need a friend right now."
I breathe a sigh, "Fine I need an extra backstage ticket.
"Grace you're awesome."
And that is how I end up 12 hours later at a dorm room door at Harvard.
I don't know what I am going to say, or what I will do if she refuses to come to the show with me. I suck in a big breath of air and knock on the door before I can change my mind and abort mission.
I hear the door chain rattle and the door swing open.
Standing in front of me is...............
definitely not Natalia.
