Grant (Boy)
Maya (Girl)
Betty (Boy's Ex)
Maya's POV
It was during lunch break my friend grant and I was sitting on the bleachers while enjoying our lunch.
"what do you wanna be when you grow up?" as I starred back to those hazel eyes that was already looking at her
"Me? No one has ever asked me that question before. Hmm it will involve photography for sure" he told me while tapping this index finger on his cheeks.
"you should be like a professional photographer grant! you take amazing photos!" I practically shouted in front of his face
he replied with a chuckle and starred at me again
"why are you looking at me like that?" I whispered while my cheeks starts turning red
"Because-" His reply was interrupted by the lid ring of the school bell
"We should get going miss Miff won't tolerate lateness" I scrunched the sandwich wrapper and stood up. Grant being the lazy ass he is, extended his hand so I have to help him up.
he smiled at me again and slung an arm behind on my shoulder.
I smiled at the gesture as we made our way to Miss Miff's class.
DURING CLASS
We sat on separate seats a bit far from each other I was just about to sit down when miss Miff came and announced that we have to do the assignment as a group of six.
We divided ourselves and to my surprise I was one group with grant and betty. Betty used to date grant for a while but I don't really know the reason why they broke up. I never actually asked grant about his relationship though, because I just thought it was not my problem to begin with.
As we were doing our work I couldn't help but grace towards grant and betty. They were talking to each other.
Calm down Maya they're just talking
Nothing to worry about
But then Betty has her hands all over him
Ew
I can't look at them anymore, call me jealous.
I looked down and decided to finish the group work. The faster I finish this the faster I get to leave those two alone.
Stop touching him Betty omg.....
I snapped out of my swirling thoughts when I heard click sound of a camera. I looked for the source and there he was holding his camera. With a mischievous smile on his lips.
I pouted at him and continued working.
I heard several clicking noise from the camera and grant continues to smile after he took another photo of me.
"Stop it Grant!" I said a little bit too harshly as I continue working
"What's with the sour face Maya?" Grant asked me as if the others don't exist. I can't take it anymore so I went out and excuse myself to the bathroom.
As I was storming down the hall I heard the door creaked opened and someone jogging towards me. It was none other than grant.
"Maya!" grant called out for me but I kept on walking towards the girls bathroom
He finally caught up to me and held my arm.
"What's the matter?" He asked while breathing hard
"Nothing's wrong I'm just going to the bathroom" I stated with a straight face "So If you'll excuse me"
"Don't lie to me I know when you lie" He demanded
"Its just I had a bad day okay! just shut up and get back to you're precious Betty!" I stormed in the girls bathroom
Maybe Im just being overly dramatic but I'm Jealous what else can I do. I can't stand being in the same room as both of them let alone being in the same group. Oh god.
I put my hear on the door and listened. Making sure that Grant was not behind this door.
I let out a breath of relief and slowly opened the door.
I look sideways and Grant was no where to be found. I decided to walk back to class while I was passing a locker I suddenly froze.
Someone grabbed my hands and I almost let out a scream but he put his hand on my mouth and whispered "Maya its just me no need to be afraid" as I slowly regain my consciousness.
It was just grant no need to be scared but WHY DID HE SCARED ME LIKE THAT?
"What the hell Grant!! you scared me...", I stated.
"Im sorry I had to do that, but I just want us to talk without you constantly dogging me" He answered truthfully
"Okay lets talk", I surrendered
We sat down with our legs spread in front of us and our backs on the lockers.
"Maya, look at these pictures", I looked at those pictures and it has the same face on every picture. Mine.
"Its me, all of it", I stated the obvious
"Look at your expression" I observed the picture. "You look defeated, what's wrong Maya tell me. I hate seeing you like this."
I took a deep breath and hope for the best. This is can go completely right or terribly wrong. "Grant I can't see you with her without thinking that still have feelings for her. I cannot stop thinking about you since our first encounter and I think I might have feelings for yo-"
"Don't say anything Maya" as he came closer and closer until our nose touch "Let me guess, you were going to confess your undying love for me right?" He smiled confidently
While I was blushing like a tomato "I hmm-"
"Its you Maya, you are the one. Guess what I cannot stop thinking about you either! Betty? She's my past you don't have to worry because she is just a friend. But you Maya you are like this vortex that I keeps on pulling me towards you. Maya I think I like you. scratch that I like you a lot. And if it too much to ask—" He leans in closer until our lips were inches apart
"—May I kiss you Maya Ramirez?" He asked huskily
I nodded and seconds later butterflies erupted in my stomach. As we stared at each other's eyes with love.
