Chapter 15

*Tuesday*

Grayson's p.o.v:

I squinted my eyes at the bright sunlight poking through Kate's light curtains. I smiled down at Kate peacefully asleep on my chest. I played with the ends of her hair, suddenly snapping my head up.

Shit. School.

"Kate." I shook her lightly.

"What?" She groaned, "it's like 8am go to sleep."

"Kate, school."

She jumped out of bed immediately, "oh my god." She panicked, frantically searching around her room, looking for clothes and I laugh at her sense of urgency. I sat up and stretched, it was soon interrupted by a t-shirt hitting my face.

"Hurry up dummy! I still have to bring you to your house!" she rushed, running into the bathroom.

I laugh, putting on my t-shirt and I lie back down. I should have just said nothing. I huff, spreading across the bed. I stare at her plain white ceiling, feeling my eye lids become heavy once again.

"Wake up!" I hear Kate yell, "I'm ready, let's go!" She rushes me. I get out of bed, swiftly standing up to follow her.

I watched as she ran out, quickly grabbing her jacket and keys.

"Kate, it's okay if we miss first period." I reassured, getting in the car beside her.

"I know I just feel guilty for missing classes." She takes a deep breath and starts the car. We drove quietly to my house, pulling into my driveway.

"You can come in, we're taking my car to school." I quickly said, getting out of the car so she couldn't protest.

"Alright." I heard her mumble, grabbing her stuff and following me into my house. The house smelled decent, like lavender ferbreeze. Rather than the other smells I've gone nose blind to.

I ran to my bedroom, rushing to get dressed, making sure Kate didn't have to wait too long. I quickly place my cage the elephant shirt over my head and a clean pair of black jeans. I quickly sprayed some light cologne and grabbed my vans.

I ruffled my short hair with my fingers, walking out of my room seeing Kate waiting patiently. I grabbed my keys, leading out the door.

.....

By the time we got to school, there was still 10 minutes left of science. Kate whined about not wanting to see Ashton so we stayed in my car, listening to my cd mix.

"You have really good taste in music." Kate said, tapping her hands on her lap.

"I can make you a cd if you want." I offered.

Her eyes lit up, "that would be awesome. Who's this band?"

"Moose blood." I replied.

"These guys are really good." She pointed out, dancing slightly. "Hey wait, didn't you sing this song to me?"

"Yeah." I blush lightly, looking to my lap to avoid her gaze.

"You have a really soothing voice. No need to be embarrassed." She comforted, resting her hand on my shoulder.

The small gesture made me smile, still looking down at my lap. "Are you ready to go back in?"

"Ugh, I guess so." She groaned, lazily getting out of the car.

"You know, for someone who was rushing so fast to get here, you're pretty slow." I laugh, getting out of the car smoothly.
