Grayson's POV

I'm surprised she didn't punch me again because what I did to her was horrible. If I was her I wouldn't have forgiven me but I am very grateful that she did.

"So what are we going to do?" Scarlette asked while putting on some of her makeup.

"What do you mean?" I asked in response.

"Well we have to go to school today and Carson is going to think I'm still hella pissed at you." she replied and I just nodded.

"Just act like we didn't make up for now. I'm going to find a way to get back at Carson and all the others." I smiled devilishly.

"Just don't get yourself hurt okay?" Scarlette basically begged while putting on her shoes.

"I promise I won't." I responded taking her hands and pulling her onto my lap.

"Not now we have school." she said trying her best not to laugh.

"I just wanted a kiss." I said pouting out my bottom lip.

"Oh well I guess you can have one of those." she giggled then used her hands to pull my face closer to hers.

"I'm tired of shit being so complicated." I sighed as soon as we walked out of her bedroom.

"I know so am I. Soon it will all be over." Scarlette promised looking up into my eyes and smiling.

"Are you going to have to go meet Carson?" I asked when we started walking down the street.

"Oh shit yeah. I'll just tell him I was talking to Ethan or something like that." she answered.

"Okay well as soon as we get up to the school I'm going to go in a different direction to make us being apart more believable." I stated taking her hand in mine.

"I don't think holding my hand is going to help with that." Scarlette giggled holding up our hands.

"Like I said when we get to the school is when I will go a different direction. We still have a few minutes." I replied kissing the top of her delicate hand.

We walked the rest of the way to school and I stopped before we crossed the street. She started walking but I held her back.

"Come on we have to go." she said walking back and giggling.

"I don't want to be around any of them." I replied standing my ground.

"When have you ever?" Scarlette asked but stopped laughing when she noticed I wasn't doing the same.

"I'm going to end up starting something with Carson because I'm tired of him ordering me around." I stated and she took a deep breath.

"Okay how about if you feel like you're about to do something just come and get me?" she suggested and I nodded my head in agreement. "Alright now seriously we need to go or else we will be late."

"I love you." I said with a smile as I walked the back way to get into the school.

"I love you too." she replied.

Scarlette's POV

Knowing that what happened between Grayson and I wasn't true felt amazing but at the same time it made me enraged. Carson would seriously go to these lengths just to separate Gray and I. I cannot stand him anymore but for the sake of Grayson I will hold myself together as best as possible.

"Hi." Carson said walking up and grabbing my hand.

"Hey!" I replied with a fake smile.

"Are we going to talk about the other night or is it better left alone?" he asked and I just rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Yeah I think it would be better let alone. I'm tired of all the drama and fighting." I answered trying not to give away the fact that I hate him right now and probably will for the rest of my life.

"I think I can make that happen." Carson smiled then put a soft kiss on my cheek as we walked into class.

I was a little bit excited for this class period because I have it with Grayson. The only problem is I sit in a group with Carson, Toby and Alex and Grayson sits across the room.

"Do I need to go beat him up?" Carson whispered with a devilish smile.

"I thought you said there would be no drama or fighting?" I questioned trying not to get an attitude.

"Oh yeah. Sorry babe I forgot." he replied looking over to the boys and laughing. 

I cringed at the sound of him calling me babe because the only person I want calling me pet names is Grayson. Carson is anything but Grayson, an asshole maybe, but not Grayson.

I got up and walked to the back of the classroom so I could be near Grayson. I looked at his hands and he was playing on his phone. 

"Whatcha doin'?" I asked right in his ear.

"Oh my god Scarlette you scared the shit out of me!" he yelled in a whisper.

"You're welcome?" I replied sounding like I was confused.

"What are you doing over here? I thought we were 'mad at each other'?" Grayson questioned which made my playful attitude change to serious.

"I know but Carson is a dick and I don't want to be over there." I answered sitting down so I wasn't noticeable.

"Go Carson is coming!" Grayson whispered then acted like I wasn't even there.

I quickly crawled out the door and walked back around so I could come back into the room. I noticed Carson sitting next to Grayson and I wanted to walk over and punch him in the balls. Instead I kept my cool and sat down in my seat.

Grayson's POV

I tried not to laugh at Scarlette crawling out of the room so Carson wouldn't question me.

"Hey good job." Carson said with a smile.

"Sure." I replied plainly because he was the last person I wanted to talk to.

"Aww is someone mad because I ended their relationship?" Carson asked pouting out his bottom lip playfully.

"Could you fuck off?" I asked trying to not catch an attitude but it wasn't working.

"Oh come on if you think about it it's not that bad." he said throwing his arm over my shoulder but I quickly pushed it off. "Well you're the one that broke your girlfriend's heart, not me." Carson smirked then got up to walk off.

My anger took over and made me do something I didn't think I could ever do. As soon as Carson got up and started walking away I stood up and kicked him in the back of the knee causing him to fall to the ground. I got down on the ground and started hitting him in the face as hard as possible. 

After realizing what I was doing I got up and looked around the room. Everyone was watching and Scarlette was running over to us.

"Come on." she whispered then took my hand and dragged me out of the room.

"What the fuck was that? I thought we were going to play it cool?" Scarlette questioned as we speed walked out of the school building.

"I'm sorry he let his ass talk for him and I couldn't control myself. I feel so stupid, I'm sorry." I apologized rubbing my knuckles.

"I would say you should but I think you should feel more proud than anything. You finally stood up to him, by yourself." Scarlette smiled taking my hand in hers.

"Oh you're right I did, didn't I?" I questioned proudly.

"How fast of a runner are you?" Scarlette asked and I scrunched my eyebrows and tried not to laugh.

"Um pretty fast I guess, why?" I asked with a huge smile on my face.

She pointed behind us and there was Carson, Toby and Alex all running towards us. 

"Shit." I said then bolted but not once letting go of Scarlette's hand.
