Nothing Like Us | Grayson Dolan

Eight

Alex came come shortly after Grayson and I stopped talking. I went straight up to my room and a million thoughts hit my mind.
'Will this change how Grayson treats me?'
'Did this conversation mean anything to him?'
'Was he really going to make it up to me?'
I had no idea what to think and I don't know why I was wracking my brain over this.
I was quickly snapped out of my thoughts when Grayson walked into my room.

"Hey, do you want to hang out Saturday?" He asked me and I looked at him confused.

"Just you and I?" I asked and he lightly laughed. I didn't know if he wanted me to hang out with me alone or with a group of friends.

"Yeah, I'll text you about it" he said before walking out of my room. I don't know why but I felt excited to spend time with him. I mean it's going to take time to go from hating each other to becoming friends.

I had 2 more days until the weekend. That means 2 more days until this random day Grayson has planned that I have no idea about. I don't know why I was counting the days, maybe I'm just curious to see how he is going to 'make it up to me.' I decided to forget about it and go to my class. As I was walking I overheard two familiar voices talking. It was Lucas and Grayson.

"Are you really fucking Ari?" I hear Lucas say, I don't understand why he is so hung up on this shit.

"Calm down I'm not fucking her, I'm not into that" I heard Grayson say. Not into what?

"Not into what?" Lucas asked

"Fucking Ari, I've got this girl, Chelsea I'm hooking up with Saturday night!" I hear Grayson say before I hear them high five. They both started laughing. So Saturday he is with me and at night he fucking with a new girl.

"So You and Ari isn't happening?" Lucas asked making sure he heard Grayson correctly. I mean of course we aren't together, I mean maybe things could change I don't know. I mean I could see myself liking him if he wasn't a complete ass.

"Dude, fuck no, never! I would never, you know how many hot girls I get. Ari doesn't qualify for that." Grayson said, I don't qualify? I knew he wasn't going to change. I knew the conversation meant shit! And honestly I am so hurt. Out of all the shit Grayson has put me through this was probably the worst. And he was talking about it with Lucas, the guy who tried to get with me but Grayson wouldn't let.

I tried to make my way to the restroom before anyone could see me sad. I mean I felt like I wanted to cry but Grayson isn't worth crying for. I made my way when I was stopped by Allison.

"Hey you okay?" Allison asked and I nodded my head, I was more mad then sad. I felt so disrespected I didn't know how I felt.
"Yeah I'm good!" I told her as I walked with her to class.

My last class came around and I took my seat in the middle of the class. I saw Grayson sitting in the back row and Lucas sitting a few seats down from me. I felt Lucas keep looking at me and I didn't really know if I should look or not. I just continued to write stuff down on paper until the bell rang. I saw Lucas get up and I quickly looked at Grayson and walked over to Lucas.

"Hey Lucas" I said as I walked out of the class with him.

"Hey Ari" he said swinging his backpack around his shoulder.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to do something on Saturday?" I asked waiting for him to say no.

"What about Grayson?" He asked me

"What about him?" I asked and he smiled at me.

"Yeah I'm down. I'll text you" Lucas said before walking away and I walked to my car. I saw Alex come into the car.

"Ari we have to wait for Grayson" Alex told me and I looked to my left to see Grayson walking to the car.

"No we don't" I said before putting the car in drive and drove away leaving Grayson stranded in the parking lot. Alex looked at me confused and I just shook my head. He probably assumed i was just messing around.

When we pulled up to the house Alex asked me if he could take the car to go get Grayson. I threw him the keys and walked inside the house. A good 5 minuets went by when I heard the front door slam. I walked out to see Grayson and he was fuming.

"What the fuck was that?!" He asked and I took a sip of my water and sat down on the couch watching TV.

"Hello? Am I not here?" Grayson asked but I continued watching TV. I wanted nothing to do with him I am so disgusted with him.
He sat down on the couch next to me and tried to get my attention. He decided to change the subject to get my attention.

"So I've figured out what we are going to do Saturday" Grayson said and I stood up from the couch making my way to the kitchen.

"Sorry, I can't I'm hanging out with Lucas" I said before walking into the kitchen and setting my glass in the sink.

"You're what?" Grayson asked

"I'm going out with Lucas. Is there a problem? Does he not qualify?" I asked squinting my eyes at him and I saw the color drain from his face.

"Besides I don't know why you would want to do Saturday, you've got a casual fuck with Chelsea. You know someone who does qualify, unlike me!" I said and i began raising my voice

"I know you're mad." Grayson said.

"I don't qualify?! What the fuck does that mean! This isn't a game you dumb fuck! You can't use people like that! You are a bigger piece of shit than Lucas!"

"If Lucas is such a piece of shit then why are you going out with him!?" He shouted

"Shut up Grayson and don't try to change the subject! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I shouted

"I don't know! I just don't see myself fucking you!" He shouted and I looked at him like he was crazy.

"That is not the issue you dumb ass!! The issue is how you use people! How you told me you would make up all the shit you've put me through! Instead you make me look so stupid because you tell people I don't qualify! I don't want to fucking qualify for anything you dumb ass! If someone fucking asks you a yes or no question just fucking answer yes or no! It's not even me who looks stupid, it's you for 'qualifying' girls! You are such a dick it's not even funny Grayson! And the girls you fuck are so blinded by who you actually are!" I just kept yelling and he sat there and he took it.

"So don't every think it's okay to say shit like that! Especially about me! I am so done with your shit Grayson!" I shouted before storming up to my room. I felt my heart racing and my hands lightly shaking, I have never talked to someone like that and I have never yelled at someone like that.
