It Was A Bet

"Oooooo, Octavia look! A festival can we go please?" Octavia says to me.
"It's your guys day so I'm fine with anything," I say looking around at the festival entrance.
"No.... today is your day Octavia, we're hanging out with you..." Gray says quietly looking down.
"It is is it? Then yeah sounds fun!" I say walking towards the entrance.
"Yay! Liam come on let's go! So much to see! So much to do!" Octavia says dragging liam off behind her. I laugh at them they sure are cute.
"Hey Gray wanna go get some food?" I say looking at him. He looks down at me then quickly looks away.
"Y-yeah that sounds good," he says stuttering. I laugh at his nervousness.
After getting food we walk and talk alot more and he starts getting more comfortable around, and the more I talk to him the more I start to notice small things. And one of the things I noticed was some rice on his cheek. While he is talking to me I start to slowly move my hand towards his face. I touch his cheek slightly while I grab the rice.
"J-jade, what are you d-doing?" He stutters while getting red In cheeks.
"There was a piece of rice I say leaning back and holding it infront of him.
He sighs. "Oh alright," he looks at me smiling his cheeks still slightly red.
"I thought you were gonna kiss me," he says smiling while some of his hair falls into his face.
I sit straight up and blush and look away. I wave my hands in a motion saying no.
"I was just trying to help!" I say while red in the face.
He laughs at me and sits forward hanging his head.
"Jade... I like you," while he says that I can tell he is blushing his ears are faintly red.
"Grey..-" I say slowly.
"I know you still like Cameron," he says still looking down and fiddling with his fingers.
"I know he says nothing went on with you guys but I saw you two... I've liked you since sophomore year... you used to be so quite. You still are in some way. I always thought you were cute in your glasses. When I saw you sitting alone again I knew something had happened with him. It broke my heart when I saw you two start dating though you guys didn't tell anyone you were I saw you guys always hanging out. Some where in my heart I hoped yi7 guys would break up for I could ask you out I wouldn't let him beat me in this. I could treat you right! I would never make you cry like he did." Grey says sitting up and looking over at me. I blush he grabs my hand.
"Please go on a date with me I will prove to you that I'm better than him," he says looking at our hands.
I squeeze his hand in approval. He smiles brightly.
"I'm so relived, I thought you wouldn't agree," he sighs looking up at the sky while still holding my hand. I smile brightly.
We sit here like this for awhile. Then I realize the time.
"Oh no I gotta go it's getting late," I say grabbing my stuff and getting up.
"I will walk you home," he says getting up to.
"Okay," I smile.
We walk a little bit in silence.
"Hey Jade..." Grey says shyly.
"Yeah?" I ask looking at him.
"Can I," he says pointing to my hand.
I hold my hand out for him. He gladly takes it in his. We walk all the way to my house.
"Thank you," I say smiling brightly up at him.
"Yeah no problem he says turning away and using his hair to hide his blush.
I walk up to him and out both hands on his shoulders I stand up on my tip toes and kiss his cheek. He didn't say anything but I felt his face heat up.
"Ill see you soon." I say shutting the door. I look out the peep hole and see him grab his cheek where I kissed. He then runs his hand through his hair and I see him smile as he walks off.
