after we finished eating we packed our things up and slipped back into school. as much as we wanted not to go back, we had to get our homework and backpacks that we left back in our lockers. some kids noticed that we were gone during the test, but the teacher didn't and so we were calm.

a lot of people were already talking about the party that was to happen tonight. if only i could've noticed. i heard the talking while at my locker, on my way to class, in class, and at dismissal. apparently, it was going to be amazing and the grayson dolan was due to make an appearance- like he doesn't go to parties anyway. fleur and i planned to meet up at the party and hang out there.

fleur did say that she was bound to get drunk and so i needed a backup plan. i eavesdropped some of the conversations in the halls and decided that showing up late was the best option.

apparently, grayson comes late to every party and i wouldn't want to look like i was waiting for him. plus, there would be less alcohol after time and so fleur wouldn't be able to get too wasted.

it was a good plan, i do have to say, but it wasn't quite finished yet. i needed an outfit that would make me feel confident and searching in my own closet didn't seem fit. i sprint into my sister's empty room, yet the closet isn't.

it's filled with dresses from high school that she couldn't fit into her luggage when she went off to college. i picked two out of the pile and scurried back to my room to try them on.

i go with the short black one. pulling it on over my shoulders before slicking my hair into a loa bun. i pull on a pair of nude heels with it and instantly grab my car keys. i run my hands through my hair quickly, looking into the rear view mirror. i don't start the car until i finish.

the party started at 4pm, directly after school ended. it was only 5pm and so i drive to fleur's house which is filled with other cars as well. i'm guessing she invited some people of her own to join her at the party. when i get inside, i get introduced to 4 girls: nina, ivori, jade, and mae.

we start talking and turns out, grayson has hurt every single one of them except fleur. our entire conversation turns to fleur explaining to the girls that i was 'dating' grayson to break his heart. mae instantly backed me up, insisting that she help me out. she gave me tips on how to make him jealous.

jade tells me that gray is really aggressive during sex, so being dominant will turn him on. i'm surprised at how cool these girls are and how easily he managed to break their hearts. they seem like the sweetest bunch of girls and my determination strengthens at the thought of grayson's heart.

they continue on down the line, helping me with tips that only the ones closest to him would know. ivori explained that grayson can get super cuddly and goofy when he gets drunk and i take that as a note, ready to use it if it happens to occur tonight.

she also explains that he's sort of the sentimental type so if you talk to him, he'll easily spill out his secrets.

nina, however, is the complete opposite when it came to openly talking about gray. she was the most affected by the break-up, i can tell. she's one of his first 'victims'- i should say. jade and mae moved on a lot quicker than she did but nina was obviously still numb.

"trust me, you'll fall for him. it's extremely easy. i'm warning you. you can't fall for him, no matter what he says. no matter what he does, he's lying. you have to trust all of us on this one, please zoë. don't fall for him."

"okay, i won't. i can't."

i smile, hugging all of them. i pinky promise all of them before we head to fleur's car. all of the girls are dressed now and it's the perfect time to arrive: 6pm. i fiddle with my fingers patiently- anxiously waiting to get there so that i can complete the second half of step one:
how to break grayson dolan's filthy little heart.

yeah this is where i decide to stop
