The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 1

Adriana's POV

"Come on Adriana, you'll love it!" Julia insisted. By 'it', she means some stupid house party one of her friends from her work is having. I really didn't seem so interested to go since it's not like those old house party's in high school. It really sucks being 20.

Yes, you heard that right. I'm 20 years old now, and it really sucks. I've wanted to hurry up and get out of high school so I could finally be on my own and do whatever I want, but now that I'm a young adult now, things don't seem as fun as they were back when you were 16.

But that's why I take online college, and moved to LA with Julia. I'm in my 3rd year of online college, and it's been 2 years since since we've moved to LA from New Jersey. Ever since I've came to LA with Grayson, I've known since then I'd wanna move there when I'm older. Now look where we are now.

Hold up, did I just mention Grayson? Yes I did... Now for the news about him...

Grayson and I had a perfect, ongoing relationship when we were both 16. It was until we broke up a year later when we were both 17. Everything was fine, but it wasn't for him. His page on Vine was getting way more popular, which made him and Ethan to be huge Vine stars, and famous. Grayson and Ethan were bigger, going on tours more, and actually moving to California permanently.

He didn't really say anywhere in California though. So who knows? They could be Julia and I's apartment neighbor, but I clearly doubt that. I also left social media so I wouldn't have to see Grayson, mainly since I disagreed to us breaking up.

I haven't seen Grayson in 3 years, and we have never contacted each other during those 3 years. I still wonder what he's up to now and then, but it just makes me think about us before we broke up, and I hate thinking about us like that. I still get emotional about it sometimes when I think about it or if someone mentions him, but I just try to shrug it off.

But I have to admit I had a perfect 2 years with that boy. He really impacted me during that relationship, and I don't regret all the moments we spent together. They are perfect memories that I wanna keep forever.

Along Grayson is Ethan, and there's some news between him and Julia. Ethan and Julia broke up 2 years ago, when they were 18. They just didn't feel anything for each other anymore, and they just broke up. But they are still friends I believe, but I don't think they have seen each other and talked in a long time either.

On the other hand, my brother Alex is engaged. Remember way back when I was 16, and I went on that date with Grayson? Well that night, my mom went to visit Alex and his new girlfriend. That girlfriends name is Vanessa, and her and Alex have been together for almost 3 to 4 years. Well my brother proposed to her almost a year ago, and they're getting married in November. I'm actually really happy for them, and Vanessa is a really sweet and pretty girl. They all still live in New Jersey, along with my mother.

"It's Halloween night Adriana," Julia told me. "You need to come to this party with me." We were literally arguing and sitting in her car, parked near her friends house. I'm imagining this party is gunna be like those adult party's when the people just sit and talk about random boring shit.

"I don't want it to be boring, or else I'm leaving," I told her.

"It's a Halloween party, of course it won't be boring!" I just gave her a sympathetic look. "Look, you need to come out and have some fun. You can't just sit at home doing work for college all day." She's right. But I'd honestly rather do that right now than go to this party.

"And plus you might meet a cute guy." She always says that to me when we both go out together. I've been single ever since Grayson and I broke up, and all the times I've been accepted to be in a relationship, I've turned them down. I knew those guys weren't right for me, and I wouldn't get the same moments like the ones Grayson and I shared.
