Looking through the memories (egd fanfic)

Chapter 2;

I had first lesson with Grayson so I decided to talk to him.
He came into lessons ten minutes late. Which was very unlike him as he was always on time, but luckily I sat just behind him so I could still talk to him every time the teacher turned to write something.
"Hey gray, are you alright?" I asked. "Yea I'm fine," he said wiping a dry tear from his eyes.
"Grayson, what is up with you?" I asked, this time with a little more force. He just looked at the floor and shaked his head.
"Do you not trust me gray, I have known you my whole life, and I would trust you with all my heart?" I asked starting to get a little upset knowing that something was wrong with him, it had always made me upset when they were. Then Grayson starting talking, slowly and quietly,"I'm not aloud to say, because we don't know whether it is official. You know, when something is wrong with someone else, but you don't know, so your mind automatically assumes that what is wrong, is the worst thing imaginable".
"Yeah, I understand," I said, starting to get worried, "if you need anything, or anyone to talk to, I have my phone, just give me a text" I replied with a small smirk.

Grayson;
I didn't want to tell her what was wrong as I knew she would cry her eyes out and I couldn't handle that. I am suprised he is able to talk to
her or anyone without breaking down...
I know I would.

After 3rd lesson (science) I walked down to my locker to put my books back when I heard someone shouting at someone but trying to keep it as quiet as possible.
"Gray, snap out of it. What the hell do you think your doing, I know it is hard but if I can keep my cool, then you can," what sounded like Ethan said, "trust me, it is a lot fucking harder for me to keep a smile on my face whilst keeping the biggest, saddest secret from the girl I love the most. I just know she would break if I told her what was happening to me".
I heard I sniff of crying coming from one of them, and I saw through the blurry glass window them hugging. Both of them getting upset now. I couldn't hear any words coming from them now. Just little muffles occasionally which usually meant that they were reassuring each other.

I figured they would be coming over in my direction so I hurried up shoving my books into my locker and walked to the cafeteria quickly hoping they didn't see me. I don't know how they would react if they found out that I heard, and I didn't to find out. When I found the door to the cafeteria I saw Orla, Grayson's girlfriend and one of my best friends, sitting at our table looking lonely. She saw me and gave me a huge wave, I smirked, looked at the ground quickly and walked over. I put my bags down and asked "hey, sorry to be annoying but do you mind if I go get something to eat, I haven't eaten all day?"
"I don't mind, I will stay here and see if the boys come, have you seen them?" She asked with a small but meaningful smile. "No, I last saw a Gray in second period, any way I will be right back," I said.
I was late to lunch so there wasn't much left to choose from. But still I chose mac and cheese and a bottle of water. Not much but it will have to do, I am starving. I walked back over to Orla and sat down with my food.
I started eating when I remembered what Ethan said, 'keeping the biggest, saddest secret from the girl I love the most'. I was worried and happy. I was cautious about what the secret was, but I was wondering who 'the girl I love the most' is. It can't be me. I'm not attractive, and i would have realised by now. I have to find out who this girl is, and his secret that made gray so upset.
I finished my food real quick and decided to go find the twins as they still hadn't came into the cafeteria even after 35 minutes, and that's real odd, they are usually the first in line for any food. So I told Orla and we both left to try and find them. I have never had to do anything like this before so I didn't really know how hard it would be. The only time I remember trying to find them was in kindergarten when we always played hide and go seek after school in the summer.I decided to call Ethan to see if he would reply.
He picked up.
"Hey eth where are you?" I asked.
"In the cafeteria with Gray and Orla, we have been waiting for you for ages," Ethan replied.
"Ethan I don't want any of your shit, I'm with Orla and we just came out of the cafeteria trying to find you two. Where are you?" I asked, getting a little worried now.
"We are in the social studies hall," he answered.
"Okay, I'm coming right now," I said. And me and Orla started walking, almost running, towards the social studies hall which just happened to be at the other side of the school.
When we got there we walked in and saw Ethan and Grayson doing there science project, which was weird as they never did this over lunch. When I walked over I noticed Grayson had some dry tears around his eyes. But I didn't bring it up. I didn't have too, Orla was already hugging him and asking what was wrong. He said "nothing, I just hurt my leg in phys ed lesson two". Which I know wasn't true, he never cried at injuries, he never has.
But I decided to let it slip out of my mind and we carried on talking, I tried being as positive as possible. Hoping it would start to make them a bit happier. I have always been good at it.
After a few minutes Ethan wiped his eyes and started to smile. "There it is," I said giggling and he smirked back. I always loved when he gave that little but encouraging smirk.I always loved when he gave that little but encouraging smirk. It always made me happy because it was almost a half way point to him being happy again.
Then Grayson said that he was hungry so the four of us headed back over to the cafeteria. They both looked a lot happier now. So i let the thought of 'the biggest secret' go.
The last three lessons went by quite quickly for lots of reasons;
1) I sat near Ethan,
2) Ethan was happy,
3) they were some of my favourite lessons.
After lessons I went to my locker to put my books away and put some more in my back for studying later. I saw Ethan down the corridor and I gave a big grin. He just smiled and walked over. "Hey I can't get the bus home with you today I'm going to Grays lacrosse match," Ethan said, still smiling.
"Okay, how comes your not playing?" I asked.
"No reason, I just didn't sign up for it but Gray wanted to do it real bad, might as well watch it!" He answered.
"Cool," I said whilst trying to imitate his little smirk. He laughed and walked away.
Once I had finished getting all my books ready (about two minutes later) I saw Orla in the corner of my eye coming out of the girls toilet, so I walked up to her and we caught the bus home together.
