Grayson's POV
"Grayson!" a voice yelled from outside that was loud enough to wake me up. I jumped out of my bed and went to my door to see my mom standing outside with an angry expression plastered across her face.
"Yes ma'am?" I asked with a raspy voice since I just woke up.
"Where did Scarlette go and tell the truth." she ordered and I rolled my eyes, not because of her question but because of what all went down between us two last night.
"She stayed at her house." I answered simply and honestly.
"How did she even get in? Her dad took all the house keys with him." she asked not any less mad just less a little calmer in tone.
"I think she broke into her window or something like that, I don't really know." I responded once again with complete honesty.
"Why did you lie about her leaving?" she asked and I knew the actual answer was because Carson was there and I wanted to go over there and see her but she didn't know that.
"Because she was really upset about her dad leaving so she wanted to be alone for a little while." I answered and my mom nodded her head in understanding.
"Okay thank you. Take a shower then get ready for school." she said waving her hand for me to leave her presence.
"Uh I took a shower last night but I'll get dressed." I smiled trying not to be awkward. I walked back into my room, locked the door and started to get dressed.
Why would I think of her? I was so mad at her and I convinced myself that I no longer liked her. I'm not going to lie it wouldn't be horrible, WHAT AM I SAYING? YES IT WILL BE HORRIBLE! SHE'S SUCH AN ASS EVER SINCE SHE STARTED GOING OUT WITH THAT DICK CARSON AND THERE IS NO WAY I WILL EVER BE WITH HER SO I MIGHT AS WELL GET OVER HER.

"Okay you didn't say anything the entire walk here, what's up?" Ethan asked as we got our supplies out of our lockers.
"Nothing, I'm fine." I answered because I just wanted to get today over with.
"Are you sure?" he asked once again.
"Yes Ethan I'm fine. I'm just going to go to class, see ya." I finished before walking away to my first period class.
"Sorry." I whispered as I ran into someone in the doorway. When I looked up to see who I ran into it was Scarlette.
"Uh it's cool." she whispered in return before walking with her group of friends. I walked quickly to the back of the class and sat down.
*bringgg*
The teacher, Ms. Bates, closed the door after the rest of the class was inside. Everyone took their seats and Ms. Bates started the lesson.
"Did you talk to her?" Amber asked Carson and I couldn't help but listen too.
"Uh yeah she said that she was just really upset about her dad leaving and she just went over to your house because she wanted to but she really can't have people at her hotel." he said and I bit my lip so I wouldn't laugh.
"Wait really?" Amber asked with so much shock in her voice.
"Well yeah what did you expect?" he asked with a smile.
"I don't know I just feel like she is fake but she is best friend and I have to put up with it no matter what." Amber ended and that grinded my gears. You should have to put up with your best friend, you should want to be with them and you should believe them unless they give you any reason not to.
"Amber, Carson! Pay attention please." Ms. Bates said stopping her lesson to get on to them two.
"Yes ma'am." they responded at the same time before turning from each others attention and directed it to the board.

As soon as class was over I waited until every one was gone and it was only Amber because I knew she was being held back by the teacher. After she was finished talking to the teacher and the teacher walked out the door I walked over to Amber.
"What the hell do you want weirdo?" she asked trying to get past but I held her against the wall so she couldn't get away.
"Why would you say that about your best friend?" I asked with all confidence and no fear.
"Say what, the truth?" she asked with a smirk and it brought back memories from last night.
"You shouldn't have to put up with your best friend! Also I heard you talking about her last night, what the hell?" I asked and I could see her let a little fear get in her hazel eyes.
"It's none of your goddamn business now let me go!" she ordered but I wouldn't listen.
"NO ANSWER MY QUESTION!" I yelled out of anger.
"I don't have to answer to you and if you don't let me go I'm going to scream." she said with a cocky attitude filling her voice.
"I will say this one more time. Answer. My. Question." I repeated and right after she started to scream.
"HELP!" she yelled causing me to fall back and loosen my grasp.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Alex asked walking in with Toby.
"He- he threatened me." she pouted innocently.
"What? No I did not! I told you to answer my damn question." I defended but I could tell that Toby and Alex did not believe me.
They started walking closer and I remembered what Ethan said so I just stood still not moving an inch. I ducked below Toby's but that made my face come closer to getting kicked by Alex. I turned and kicked Toby in the legs causing him to fall over then I punched Alex in the face. It didn't stop him though so I hit him some more, in the face, stomach and head.
"WHAT THE FUCK GET OFF!" Scarlette yelled moving Carson's hand off of hers and running over two Alex and I. She separated us two and held me back while Carson held back Alex. "Grayson go." she whispered and I looked down at her confused.
"What? No, I'm not leaving until he is on the ground." I stated but she wasn't going to take no for an answer.
"I'll be back." Scarlette said to Carson before taking my arm and stuff and pulling me out of the room.
-
"Why?" she asked as she cleaned up my face with a wet paper towel.
"I just wanted to stand up for myself." I answered honestly.
"Okay but what started the fight? Did Alex or Toby say something to you?" she asked and I thought about everything that I heard Amber say about Scarlette and I couldn't put that on her.
"They called me ugly." I answered followed by a jaw clench.
"Wait you're kidding right?" she asked and I shook my head no. "So you started a fight over them calling you ugly?" she asked with a giggle.
"Yeah I did because I'm tired of it." I replied, which wasn't a complete lie. I was tired of being called names, that's just not what started the fight.
"Well save the fighting for when you really need it." she winked and I couldn't help but giggle with her. She was getting closer and closer as she cleaned up my face to the point where I could feel her warm breath wave over my skin. I started to close my eyes until I heard the bell ring which made both of us jump.
"I have to go and tell Carson where I was." she smiled awkwardly as she wadded up the paper towels and threw them away.
"Just tell the truth okay?" I begged with an innocent smile.
"Of course." she smiled.
"Promise?" I asked with a giggle.
Scarlette's POV
"Promise."
Great now I'm going to break a promise and lie, fun.
