Paylyn's POV


               I'm a 16 year old with a bad past. My parents left my brother and . I was 3 and he was 6. So now it's just my brother and I. I had everything at Wisconsin. Leaving that behind is going to be bitter sweet. I loved everything about Wisconsin. I loved the school that I went to. Especially the family at the school. I was in anything that inclined with music. I was in Choir, band, show choir (where you sing and dance with choreography), jazz band and never forget the musicals. But not only that I lettered at volleyball, basketball and soccer my freshman year. Leaving all that behind... If I try to look at it in a positive perspective, at least I can try to get away from the things that reminded me of my parents. Jackson, my older brother who is now a sophomore in college. He is the only family I have in my life.

 We moved to Florida because my brother got accepted at the college there and today was my first day of "Appleton High". I got up, and hopped in the shower, dreading the first day of the new school. I got dressed in a white tee, washed out boyfriend jeans, and a Adidas shoes. I wore my hair in a half bun and half down with my hair curled. I grabbed my car keys and headed out the door. I started my Audi R 8, and typed in the school's address and drove out. I sighed with the thought of making new friends. As soon as I was driving out of the driveway my next door neighbors were pulling out too, I just waited until they backed out of the driveway and then followed them. I guess they are going to the same school as me. I stepped out of my car grabbing my bag and my water bottle. As I stepped out I got greeted by the two neighbor boys. 

"Hey I'm Ethan Dolan, your neighbor." The boy is name Ethan. 

"Hi I'm Paylyn Johnson." I smiled.

"Oh and this is grumpy old Grayson" Ethan pointed at the boy behind looking like he has no interest in the conversation.

"Shut up Eth." He said coldly, as his dark eyes glaring at Ethan. Ethan rolled his eyes. 

"Let me show you around school." Ethan smiled. I nodded as we made small talk. I looked over at Grayson. Who kept glaring at me. I felt uncomfortable, so I tried to concentrate on Ethan. I walked into the school, and it was a bigger school than what I was used too. I got my schedule and I had 3 classes with Ethan but I had most classes with Grayson. I can't judge him. I don't know him well enough.

"Gray will help you with finding your other classes right Gray?" Ethan looked at me and then his eyes moved to Grayson. 

"Yeah whatever, I don't really care."  

"Thanks Gray, see you later Paylyn." Ethan said as he walked away.

"Grayson, you don't need to help me if you don't want too." I said confidently.

"Little miss, don't act all confident you don't even know where anything is, just stop talking." Grayson spoke rolling his eyes. As he walked away as I tried to catch up to him. He smirked at the sight of me running towards him. My short self trying to carry the distance that Grayson is walking, nearly impossible. 

"Hey umm, can you slow down a bit.." I asked as I was 20 feet behind him. 

"Or you can hurry up" As he turned around, then continued "But what are you like 3'5?"

"Actually Grayson I'm 5'1, nice try." I sassed him back rolling my eyes.

We walked into Physics together, and the teacher Mr. Browning introduced me to the class. I sat down in front of Grayson. I sat my things down quietly as we were listening to a lecture, the boy next to me tapped me on the shoulders. I turned my head to him.

"Isn't this the greatest lecture of all times?" he jokes as I laughed quietly. 

"Oh yes, most definitely." He laughed.

"My name is Cameron Indigo." He introduced. 

"Can you two shut up, I need to listen to the lecture." As Grayson rolled his eyes.

"Woah, you actually listen to what others say?" Cameron jokes, as I laughed.

"Wow wouldn't you two be cute." Grayson continuing to be rude.

"I know we would." Cameron winked at me, my face turning red.

Grayson eyes turned darker , and turned facing the teacher who was still lecturing. Well that was extremely awkward.  The bell rang, I stood up grabbing my things and walking out by myself without Grayson. Cameron ran up and took me to my next class. Which was Pre-calc. Ethan came and sat next to me and Cameron on the other side. I saw Grayson walking in and he sat in the back. I didn't even glance at him. For some reason he pissed me off. He made me so angry. As we were taking notes, Ethan wrote me his phone number, so we could hang out after school. Ethan on the other hand, was nice and actually more friendly. They might be twins but I can tell the difference between them. Plus Ethan was a lot more friendly and a lot more outgoing compared to Gray.

After the long day was over, I hopped in my car and Ethan rode with me since we were going to be hanging out after school. It was warm in Florida compared to Wisconsin. Not to mention it was so sunny and bright outside. I put on my sunglasses, and adjusting my mirror. I gave my AUX Cord to Ethan. 

"Ah thanks for passing the AUX fam." Ethan laughed

"Anytime fam." I said joking back at him.

As I was finally backing up as Ethan was playing "Right my wrong" By Bryson Tiller.

"I LOVE BRYSON TILLER." I said to Ethan. 

" Do you? Bryson Tiller is literally everything."  

As more songs of Bryson Tiller songs were playing we finally got home. I dropped Ethan off we agreed to meet around 6:00, so we have time to get ready and relax. I got home dropped my backpack on our island counter. Then I went upstairs. I plopped on my bed sighing. Today was such a long day. I met a couple of people yet no one that's a girl. Maybe because I've been around too many boys. I used to have a group of friends back in Wisconsin. I loved them very much as I clicked my phone and saw a picture of my friend group and my heart sank. I got up and got some snacks out. I looked at the time it was 5:30. I started to get ready. I wore a cropped sweater/sweatshirt with leggings, I put my vans on. Putting my hair down from the messy bun, revealing the loose curls from the morning. I just left it that way. I walked downstairs grabbing my wallet, car keys and my phone and headed out. I walked towards Ethan's house. There was people walking their dogs, and I waved hi. Then I got to Ethan's doorstep and knocked on the door. As Grayson opened the door.

"Hey is Ethan home?" I asked looking down, on the ground. I didn't want to look at Grayson. I didn't feel comfortable 

"He's upstairs." He said coldly, basically telling me to get him yourself. 

"Okay thanks."  I said continuing not to make eye contact. I walked in and took the first stairs I saw. 

"Ethan" I spoke softly, trying not to be so obnoxious.

"Paylyn! You're here!" Ethan popped out of the room, scaring the soul out of my body

"I didn't mean to be so loud, but I'm excited to hangout with you!" He smiled at me. Ethan's smile warmed me up. 

Then we walked downstairs to go out for dinner. I grabbed my car keys and I look to my left.

Grayson... oh my... 

He was making out with this girl...

That was a good first impression.
