"hey winter" grayson says to me

"oh hi gray" I smile at him

"I need you to help me with something please"

"alright call me after school"

"okay thanks"

*skip rest of school day*

I walk off the bus and grab my keys out of my bookbag. I find the correct key and unlock my front door. I throw all my bags down and sink into the couch and pull out my phone.

it rings

'hello?'

'hey winter it's grayson'

"hi grayson what's up'

'i know we aren't that good of friends but I have a favor to ask'

'ya anything why don't you come over my mom isn't home until 8'

'okay I'll see you in a few'

'k bye'

i hung up.

not much later a knock on the door

I walk over and open it.

"hi grayson"

He walks in

"do you have a car?"

"no im saving up for one."

"oh" He said looking around

"yeah"

He sits down on my coach

"so" his voice trails off "about this favor"

I just look at him

"i'll pay you."

"what is it?"

"can you make ebony fall in love with me"

" why ebony I already know someone who probably would like to go out with you"

" and who's that if they're not ebony then I don't care"

" don't be so sassy I'm the one doing the favor and no it's Kelsey she's super nice what's wrong with her"

" nothing's wrong with her I just love ebony"

" how can you love someone you've never even came close to interacting with"

" I'm not sure I just do so please please do this favor for me I will pay you"

I'm the type of person that everyone seems to like because I'm laid-back and chill I'm not even close to Grayson but he seems desperate so I agree to the favor

", okay okay I'll help you"

" thank you so much winter"

He leans over and hugs me

" it's nothing how much are you paying me again"

we both laugh

I send Grayson on his way

Once he leaves I walk up stairs and I think to myself what the hell I have to make two people fall in love 1 claims they're in love the other doesn't even know they exist.

I decide to get started with my job. So I take out my phone and dial Ebony's number.

' hey babe'

She picks up

' oh uhm hi Ebony'

' hey winter how's it going'

' oh yeah pretty good but I need to know what the homework was in social studies'

' uh I'm not really sure'

' oh really do you think you could call or text Grayson and ask for me?'

' sure why not'

' thanks hun catch you tomorrow'

' k bye'

I knew she had Grayson's number. Because our social studies teacher wanted us to trade numbers with everyone in the class just in case.

2 hours pass

Unless ebony forgot it seems as if her and Grayson are hitting it off pretty well.

I decide to go to bed

The next morning it was Friday and out of nowhere ebony walks up to me

" hey babe I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you last night I totally forgot"

Are you serious

" no no it's fine I found out we didn't have homework"

Ebony walked off and then Grayson tap me on my right shoulder.

" I saw you talking to ebony"

" yeah Grayson I was isn't that what you're paying me to do"

" yeah I guess you're right"

" yep see you later bub"

Grayson and I walk opposite directions

Sadly I feel as if Grayson has no chance. she's the most popular girl in school and the cheerleading captain. where Grayson, he's just one of those kind of nerdy boys. he's in basketball but he's not the captain and he's not the star player. sadly when you've got a popular cheerleading captain she's not going to notice a boy that isn't the most popular in school.

Grayson deserves a girl that wants him for who he is but apparently I'm the only one that sees that.

The only thing is I don't like how he says he's in love with her you can't be in love. We're sixteen we don't know love. And those of us that do have been in relationships for years. The word love is thrown around. You don't love someone unless they're your family your best friend or long-term significant other.

That's just how I feel.

Seems as if every other sixteen-year-old feels the opposite.
