•August 28th•
I wake up to the sound of my mother screaming Avery, my eyes fly open in realization it's Tuesday. The first day at my new school as a junior. I had to transfer from my old school. Not because of moving, but because of a person.
It's 6:00 and I take a quick shower. I get out and put on a simple outfit. Black shorts and a turquoise top. I do a little quick and easy makeup look. Foundation, eyeliner and mascara. I'm not the biggest makeup fan. I personally suck and it. I run down stairs to mind my mom cooking breakfast and singing. She always wanted to do more with her singing but she had me. Probably her biggest mistake in life.
my dad passed around 4 years now. He died of cancer.
By the Time I'm done eating its 6:50. That means I gotta go. School starts at 7:30 and the bus takes a while. I put my plate in the sink and kiss my mother goodbye. I put my bookbag on my shoulder and walk out the dog. I walk down the block to the bus stop and wait. Thankfully only 5 minutes later it arrives.
By the time I arrive at school it's 7:20. It's a pretty small school. So it's not very hard to find my way around. I find my locker and quickly empty my books and everything I needed this year in my locker. I lock my locker and look at my schedule. Trigonometry. Great. I have no idea where that is. I try to find a nice enough looking person to ask. I find a tall blonde girl who seems approachable. I walk up and tap her shoulder from behind. She turns around.
"Hi I'm new here and I'm trying to find my class. Could you possibly help me out?"
"Sure! I'm Aria, you?"
"Oh sorry. Its avery." I reply
"So what's your first class avery?" She asks
"Trig"
"Oh my gosh, so do I. Here, walk with me" she says as she starts walking.
"Oh thanks"
"So where are you from?" Asked aria
"I'm from here I just changed schools."
She gives me a confused look and I just simply smile back to her.
The walk to the room was fast. Right as I turn to walk in a boy comes running out and collides right into me. I fall to the floor in my embarrassment.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Asks the boy who seems to be in a rush.
"yeah I guess" I reply in a snotty tone.
"Sorry I was in a rush. Let me help you up" As he grabs my hand and puts his other hand on my back for support.
"I'm grayson" He tells me
"Avery" I smile and walk in. I can't be meeting a new boy. I don't care how much he just wants to be friends. I've heard that before
"Oh my gosh. How are you not flipping out?" Aria basically shouts to me
"what do you mean?" I ask in a confused way
"That was Grayson Dolan. The hottest boy in school." She says with the biggest smile. She looks nuts
"Oh we I guess I didn't really see what he looked like." I lied
Both of us take our seats. Class starts and the whole time I can sense Grayson staring at me.
what does he want with me? I'm an ugly girl with no self esteem what's so ever. I don't need another guy in my life right now. That's why I left my old school.
*7 hours later*
The bell rings to dismiss school and I sigh in relief. I Stop at my locker and pick up every book I need to bring home. I walk to the bus stop and I feel someone following me. I might just be paranoid. I close my eyes "it's not him, it's not him" I say over and over to myself in my head. I reach the bus stop and quickly turn my head. Grayson's a few feet behind. I turn around praying he doesn't try and start conversation. He comes up and stands about 20 inches from the side of me.
"Hey" He try's to start conversation.
"Hi"
"I hope you remember me from this morning. Cause if not this must be super awkward" he states
"How could I forget?" I fight back
"Oh" He says
I feel like that might of hurt him
"I don't mean to say that in a rude or ignorant way but I'm not in any position to be talking to a guy right now" I tell him softly
"what do you mean?" He asks
"I just got out of something and I just can't be talking to you. It ended bad and I just." I eat cut off
"I'm trying to ask you out" he try's saying in the nicest way possible.
"I know but I can't be friends with a guy."
"If you don't mind me asking, what happened. In your last relationship" he asks
"I can't tell you"
"why not?"
"Just because."
*Grayson's Prov*
I don't understand what's wrong. I feel her hiding something from me and I don't know what. Did he hurt her?
