Wake Up

6

*Recap* Presley woke up with Grayson's arm wrapped around her waist. Then, they go to school when suddenly Grayson intertwines his hand in hers. She looks to where he's nudging her to see Vanessa Will, Grayson's clingy ex girlfriend.

On the side is a beautiful banner done by ItsCalledListen , thanks again, I love it!! Also, if anyone wants to make a cover for this book or anything of the sort just PM me and I'll feature it in my chapters :)

Presley's POV

Seeing Vanessa, I quickly lean into Grayson despite my mind telling me not to do so. Although the situation is awkwardly uncomfortable, considering I don't know Grayson all that well, I can't help but cherish our closeness. He smells really nice also. God I need to stop with this crush of mine.

We walk up the school stairs, all eyes laid on us, or...well mainly Grayson. I look around to see confused expressions and a few envious ones. Though, the one that sticks out to me is Vanessa's, who is currently steaming. She begins to walk towards us with a scowl on her face.

Grayson nonchalantly leans towards me and whispers, "Act natural." And I get more anxious, but mask it with a calm demeanor. Vanessa finally reaches us, her chest puffed out and the smell of her perfume intoxicatingly strong. I scrunch my nose up trying to rid it of the overly-sweet smell.

"Excuse me hun, what are you doing on my boyfriend's arm?" Vanessa's words laced with disgust. I'm about to give her a sassy reply but Grayson beats me to it.

"I'm not your boyfriend Vanessa. And also, her name is Presley, not hun. I'd appreciate it now if you could move over so we can get into the school." He finishes and brushes past her, pulling me along with him. I act as composed as I can but if looks could kill, I'd be dead right now from the one's Vanessa is sending my way.

Finally, we get inside the building with our hands still together. Considering the fact that everyone is still staring, Grayson decides to keep the act going longer. "Hey, do you need to get to your locker before first period?" He asks me and I nod back. "Alright, I'll go with to keep this thing looking real." He replies with a wink. A grin takes over my face as I guide him over to my locker.

After grabbing all the things I need, I close my locker with Grayson's face directly behind it which startles me as I jump back slightly, thinking he had left. He hands me back a piece a paper and I realize that he had been reading my schedule.

"We have periods 2,3, and 6 together so I'll see you then." He says with a small smile and kisses my forehead before muttering a 'bye'. I stand there flabbergasted and confused. Is Grayson legitimately being nice for no reason? Like I get the whole fake relationship thing but I didn't expect him to warm up to me so quickly. Ugh, why do guys have to be so confusing?

After pulling myself out of my thoughts, I wonder where my best friend Genevieve is, or Gen as I like to call her. I look around me to see that the people that were staring at Grayson and I have finally scattered away when I hear a girly squeal. I glance behind me to find Gen sitting there with a humungous smile on her face. She runs over to me and crashes me in a hug and I quickly relax and hug her back with the same amount of force.

Then, she lets go of me and glances at my face. "Pres, I've missed you so much!" She squeals and I laugh at her excitement.

"I've been good, but you've got a bit to catch up on. And I've missed you too! Do you know how bored I was?" I say and she looks at me with confusion in her green eyes, probably because I told her she needed to 'catch up' which would be unusual since she has the more interesting life out of the two of us. She nods with a grin and then grabs my schedule out of hand right when the first bell rings. As I walk towards my first period class, we learn that we have classes 1, 3, 4 and 7 together, not counting lunch which is 5th period. I smile happily at her and relax since I have almost all my classes with her, good luck teachers.
