I made sure I looked good today. My hair was nice and straight, I actually took my time on my makeup and focused more on my eyes by adding a wing. I was never really the one to dress up for school and I wasn't going to start now, so I settled for some washed out skinny jeans, a grey t-shirt with my white windbreaker over it and my all black vans. Nice and simple but still cute.
All day I've been hearing things about me and Kyle. I broke up with him. He was mad but oh well. There were rumors about me boring him so he broke up with me, I laughed so hard when I heard that one. And then there were others about Ethan. People will never stop running their mouths.
"Alright Valentina spill the tea." Grayson said running up to our lunch table. I haven't sat with my group in weeks. I've pretty much started a whole new group and to be honest, it was so much better! No drama or anything! It was only five of us, me, Ethan, Grayson, Emma, and Alex. It was small but it was still better than my old one.
"I broke up with Kyle." I smiled.
"When? Where? Dude how!"
Flashback
Yesterday afternoon:
School just ended and I was dropping Kyle off at practice. Little did he know that this would be the last time I took him anywhere.
"Wish me luck babe." He leaned in for a kiss but I stopped him.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm breaking up with you." I said getting to the point, I'm not gonna sugar coat this. I kept a straight face and honestly he had it coming. Not only did he cheat on me and not try to contact me in anyway over the break but we never hang out anymore. I was always with Ethan or Emma. Every time I tried to hang out with him he always turned me down. I tried to see if there was anything left of the relationship but I guess I knew my answer. We just lost our 'spark', if there was even one to begin with.
"You can't break up with me. You better be joking." He was getting angry but I didn't care. He couldn't hurt me even if he tried.
Literally.
"I'm not joking. We're done." I would've said sorry but we all know I'm not. I should've broken up with him a long time ago. I don't know why I'm just now doing it.
Well I do... I was so caught up in wanting to hurt him when I should've focused on me. I want to be happy and he was nothing but negativity in my life.
"Can you at least tell me why." I wasn't going to say anything but he asked so why not.
"I should've broken up with you a long time ago. Next time you're going to cheat, don't get caught." I smiled and he got out the car. I rolled down the window, "And tell Melissa I said hello." I smiled, backed out of the parking lot and drove off.
End of flashback
"It was about time!" Emma said. I knew Emma since we were little. She was the closest thing I had to a best friend here at home. She was real. She always told me the truth and stayed my friend because of me and not for the money or 'popularity.'
"I know!" I laughed but then brought my attention back to Grayson. "So I heard coach had some final tryouts for the lacrosse team yesterday during practice..." I mentioned, already knowing the big news. Grayson looked at me with the biggest grin ever. He is so adorable! I swear!
"Yeah we made the team but you guys are now looking at the new team captain." As soon as those words left Grayson's mouth I jumped out of my seat and hugged him. I already knew it but hearing it from him just got me all excited.
"Dude that's awesome!" I said.
"Yeah coach liked what he saw and he said I connected really well with the other players. So now I'm captain."
Knowing that lacrosse was also a huge deal here, I stood up and caught everyone's attention, "YOU GUYS ARE NOW LOOKING AT OUR NEW TEAM CAPTAIN FOR OUR LACROSSE TEAM!" I yelled, holding Grayson's arm, and everyone cheered. I looked over to where I used to sit at and saw Kyle just glaring over here. I bet he isn't happy with the coaches decision but hey what's done is done. Grayson played the game and he happened to be better at it. Now it's the last minute soccer tryouts today after school. The last minute tryouts for girls was last week and I stayed captain, but this week it's boys. I got down with Grayson's help and he laughed. His cheeks were red and I found that so cute. He better start getting used to the attention.
"Ethan told me he was trying out for soccer too. Are you doing that too?" I asked. Trying to get more info.
"I'm doing both. You better be out there supporting us little miss soccer queen." He joked but hey I liked that, it fits perfectly.
"Oh I'll be there to see what you two got. Maybe even jump in to kick some ass. Who knows maybe coach will let me be captain of the guys team too." I laughed. There was no way I was missing this. I loved soccer and my two favorite people are trying out, I'm definitely going out to support.
"Who knew Mr. Johnson was going to make me stay behind to finish the stupid math test." Ethan mumbled and sat next to me, placing his head on the table. "The test was so hard! Like I'm never going to use any of it anyway."
"Aww..." I rubbed his back and tried to comfort him.
"Ethan?" Alex questioned. Ethan picked up his head, only to rest it on my shoulder. He looked at Alex waiting for him to speak but Alex just sat there grinning. He looked at Grayson and then back at me. Both guys were just sitting with with the biggest grins. I'm not going to lie I was a little nervous. Anything could be going on in their heads right now.
"That's a nice hickey you got there bro." He laughed and so did Grayson. Emma just sat there waiting to see his response. It took me a while to actually realize that I was the one who did that. Long story short, when I broke up with Kyle I went over to Ethan's place that night and lets just say things got a little heated. Not too heated though.
"So who was it?" Grayson asked. He leaned in forward and rested his chin on his water bottle, reminding me of a little kid. Alex looked at him like he was stupid. He obviously knew it was me but I don't think Grayson had caught up. He worries me, quite a lot actually. But i guess I can't blame him since all the girls were over them. He doesn't even know the whole story between us. At least I don't think...
Alex was about to speak up but I stopped him, "No, no. Let him figure it out." I said and his eyes went wide as if it hit him.
"NO!"
"Yeahhhhh....." I laughed. I'm surprised he didn't notice it sooner, they're always together.
"So are you two a thing now?" He asked raising his eyebrows. I think Grayson wanted this more than me. I looked down at Ethan, who still had his head rested on my shoulder, not knowing if we were or not. I mean I kinda do hope so. His hand found mine and he intertwined his fingers with mine, giving me all kinds of emotions. He lifted his head to look at me and then at Grayson.
"It's your call babe."
I didn't even have to think twice, "Yeah we are." I smiled and kissed him.
