Nothing Like Us | Grayson Dolan

Nine

I just had to get through one more day of school and I am done for the week. Through out the day Grayson tried to talk to me but I had completely ignored him.

"Hey Ari, I'm excited for tomorrow" Lucas said as he wrapped his arm around me and walked with me down the hall. I saw Grayson looking at us, I knew he hated this.

"Yeah, why don't we go to the party at Nate's house at night?" I asked

"Sure, but let's hang out before" Lucas said, honestly I don't know why I'm doing this, I don't need to do this. I don't want to do this.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow" I said before walking getting into my car and driving home. Alex was spending the day with his friends so I didn't have to wait for him and I didn't have to worry about Grayson being at my house.

I didn't plan on doing anything tonight until Allison forced me out of the house to go to dinner and a movie.

"So Grayson?" Allison asked as we drove to the restaurant. She always had to bring up Grayson, even though I never want to talk about him.

"Allison, he's an asshole " I told her and she looked at me as she came to a stop sign.

"Let's hope Ethan isn't like that because I would love to get in bed with him." She said which caused me to laugh more than I should have.

"Ethan is total opposite of Grayson, I'll help you out" I told her before giving her a high five.

-
We pulled up to my house and I saw Alex's car was there. Allison came inside with me and we both looked at each other when we saw Alex's friends were over.

"I've got a guest bedroom" I jokingly told Allison before she lightly Nudged me.

My eyes met with Grayson but I quickly looked away from him and walked up to my room. I saw Allison sit in the empty seat next to Ethan.i lightly laughed before going to put my phone on the charger. I heard someone bust through my door.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" I asked when I turned around to see Grayson.

"I want to talk" Grayson said and I decided it was my turn to show him how I feel when I try to talk to him.

"Not now Grayson" I told him

"Right now Arianna." He said stepping closer.

"I have to go put some groceries away" I told him making up some excuse to get out of this.

"No you don't, just listen to me" Grayson said getting too close to me. And I stood there waiting for him to speak.

"Listen, I am so sorry for saying the things I said. I take full responsibility for being a total ass, I had no right to say that shit! I've never said that I don't know what came over me. You are a great girl but I would never want to jeopardize my friendship with Alex, he's my best friend. I think I just got too carried away. I don't know but I am so sorry! I even cancelled my plans with Chelsea." He told me and I am glad he owned up to his mistakes and didn't sugar coat it but I'm still not forgiving him that easily.

"Thanks but I'm still going out with Lucas tomorrow." I told him and his face dropped.

"Why do you care so much if I go out with Lucas?" I asked him and he just lightly shook his head

"Because of what he did to you! If he hurts you again you better tell me" he said super annoyed and I just nodded my head. I don't understand why all of a sudden he cares about me.
