The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 35

"Let's go!" Julia squealed, as she was pulling me inside the arcade place. Julia decided on having our friends night out at this arcade place which is supposedly good since it has a restaurant and bar and everything. Julia, Nate, and I rode together in a car, and Ethan and Grayson is supposed to meet us here. I'm a tad bit scared for it though, since Grayson doesn't even like me anymore...

I tried dressing nice for this, but I ended up wearing some ripped shorts, a muscle tee, and my vans. I also had my hair down in its natural style, and I even had my makeup done a bit. Julia, Nate, and I were currently sitting at a table right near the bar, which was also across from the arcade area.

Julia and Nate were having some random conversation, while I was just thinking about what tonight will bring. I felt a bit nervous since I was tapping my leg repeatedly up and down, and I think them two noticed. "Calm down," Nate said chuckling.

"I can't," I said nervously.

"Adriana, you'll be fine," Julia assured me. "Hey look! They're coming." I turned my head to look at the direction Julia was pointing to, and they were on their way over here. I noticed Ethan and Grayson, but I also saw a girl with them?

I figured it was Ethan's girlfriend or something, cause he did tell me a few days ago that he's been seeing a girl he met at the beach not too long ago. But as they came closer, I started to look at her features, which was blonde hair, blue eyes, and she looked a bit tall. The thought soon came to me, and I finally realized who it was. It was Chloe, the girl who worked with Grayson on that movie.

He moved on from me that quick? I should have known something like this would have happened tonight... But I just can't believe he would bring over that Chloe girl. Who's knows? Her and Grayson could have had a thing going on when they filmed that movie all these months, and Grayson's pissed at me cause I only cheated on accident for a minimum of 2 weeks...

My thoughts about this got interrupted once they came over to us, and I already felt my blood boiling inside once my eyes were glued on that Chloe girl. "Hey!" Julia and Nate said in unison, while I just sat there not saying a word.

"Hey," the rest of them replied. My eyes lingered towards Ethan, and he stared at me with a worried facial expression, probably cause of how I am about this girl Chloe. "So, who's your friend?" Julia asked towards Grayson.

"Oh, this is Chloe," Grayson said gesturing towards her. "It's really nice to meet you!" she said in a perky tone. I just rolled my eyes and crossed my arms, knowing she's this kind of girl. "So do you guys wanna play some games?" Nate asked.

"Of course!" she said in her perky tone. We all soon headed towards a counter to pay for some coins to play some games. They were all in front of me, while I lugged behind this group. But Julia and Ethan had shown up on my sides, walking slowly behind me. "Did you know about this Ethan?" Julia asked him.

"No, I didn't," Ethan replied putting his hands in surrender. "I swear, I had no clue Grayson was bringing her until he wanted me to pick her up. He told me it was like a friend from the movie he filmed, but he never told me it was that Chloe chick."

"Cause now I feel bad. This was supposed to be a day when her and Gray talk and try to make up, but now my plans all messed up now," Julia sighed.

"Don't even feel bad anymore," I told them. "I'm honestly done with this shit. If he doesn't want me anymore, then he can go ahead and date who ever girl he wants, just like he did before when we dated."

"We're still sorry," Ethan added. "But let's just take our mind off it and play games, shall we? Cause this night was supposed to be fun."

"I guess so," I tried saying with a real smile, but it kinda failed. We all soon paid for some coins to play the games with, and we all headed towards a basketball hoop game. I put my coins in, and so did a few other of my friends. We all played on one game, shooting hoops. After our 60 seconds were up, I beat Julia, Ethan, and Nate, probably from my basketball skills back when I was younger. I high fived all 3 of them, and as I finished high fiving Nate, Chloe came closer towards me, and said, "Wow, you're so good!" in her stupid bubbly voice and clapping her hands together.
