tyler's POV

We start to head back to my apartment and Gray and I are at the back of the group. we just making small talk because everyone was making us feel awkward.

"Hey! Gray and tyler, could you guys walk any slower? Come on!" Yells Ethan.

"Ok, we're coming." I say, grabbing Gray's arm and speeding up my walk to join the group again.

We get back to the apartment and grab some breakfast. I make everyone some pancakes.

"Shit! Why did we do the sleepover last night? We have to go to school!" Snaps Nate.

"Well, it's only 5 so we have like 2 hours. Just finish your pancakes, Nate." Ethan clips him up the side of the head.

++

Everyone finishes their pancakes and most everyone goes home except for Gray and Ethan.

"Can you drop us to school, Gray?" asks Ethan.

"Yeah, but lets get ready first. I don't particularly want to go to school in my pyjamas." he replies.

"Ok well, I'm gonna go get dressed you guys brought spare clothes right?" I ask, placing my dishes in the dishwasher.

"Yeah, I don't want to get called out for wearing the same thing two days in a row." Says Ethan, obviously trying to sound like a girl.

I let out a small giggle.

"Alright, well I'm gonna have a shower. You guys can have a shower too, if you want. You know where the bathroom is."

I walk out of the kitchen and into my ensuite. I peel off my pyjamas and turn on the shower.

There's a small picture frame on the vanity, it encases a photo of my mum, my brother riley, and I.

I smile and step into the shower letting the hot water hit my back.

I do all the things you would usually do in the shower; wash myself, shave, stand there, and brush my teeth.

I step out of the shower and wrap my towel around me. I leave the bathroom and walk into my wardrobe.

I throw on some clothes and put my hair up in a high ponytail.

"Alright, I'm ready." I announce stepping out into the living room, I realise straight away that I was talking to no one which means the boys must be in the shower or getting ready.

"Geez I'm lame." I sigh, and walk over to the couch. I sit down, pull my phone out of my bag and watch everyones snapchats form last night.

The boys walk out from the guest room and stand in front of me.

"Come on ty. We're waiting." Says Gray.

"No, we don't have to leave for another 15 minutes." I stand up, cross my arms and place my foot on the ground firmly. I stare him dead in the eye.

"Aww, I just realised how short you actually are. Lets go." Before I knew it my feet were off the ground and I was draped over his shoulder like some faux fur.

"Put! Me! Down!" I squirm around in his grip, but it does nothing. He's too strong.

"If you would just stay still it would make this a lot easier." He grunts.

Damn, Gray is kinda hot when he's angry. Wait. What did I just think? Maybe Ethan's right, maybe we should date.

++

The sound of the bell rings throughout the halls and everyone rushes out into the musty hallway.

I pass through the mob of people, trying to get to my locker. I make eye contact with Grayson and we exchange smiles, continuing to walk to our lockers.

"Hey, can you give me a lift home?" He asks.

"Yeah, I guess I owe you for all the times you drove me home." We both hop in the car and I start the engine.

"Um, I just need to make a pit stop. I'll be 2 seconds, you can come if you want." I mumble, quickly looking up and then back down.

"ty. Look at me, are you ok?" He asks sternly.

"Uh, yep. everything is a-okay." I hesitate at the start but I hope he doesn't notice.

"No, tell me what's wrong." He grabs my arm and waits for a response.

"Well, if you really want to know you'll just have to wait till I come back from getting gas." I smirk.

"Ok, if you insist." he slumps back into the seat and lets out a deep breath.

++

"So..." he says as I get back in the car.

"Wha- oh you wanna know what's wrong." He nods, flashing me a cheeky grin.

"Okay so, there's this boy I really like and I don't know how to tell him," -a smile creeps onto my face -" plus I don't think he likes me in the same way. He probably thinks we're just friends, and I'm just frustrated because I don't know what the fuck to do or say." I start off on a mini rant, then take in a deep breath and glance over at Grayson.

"Sorry. You're probably not interested in my girl problems." I apologise, focusing my attention back onto the road.

"No, it's fine. I find it kinda funny because I'm going through the same thing."

"Really, who's the lucky girl that my best friend is crushing on?" I nudge him a couple of times.

"I'm not telling you until you tell me." He pretends to zip his lips, then he folds his arms.

"Ok, I'll tell you once you tell me where you live, because you've only ever been to my place and I've never been to your house." I say.

"Oh yeah it's like two streets down from yours then the first right and then I'll point it out."

++

"Alright, we're here do you want to come to the beach with me?" I ask.

"Yep, let me grab my stuff I'll be 2 seconds." He yells running up to the front door.

++

We get to the beach and swim around, annoy each other and watch the sunset.

"Are you gonna tell me who you like now?" Gary asks not taking his focus off of the orange sky.

"Well, I have an idea..." I trail off.

"Continue."

"Ok so, we both say who we like on the count of three. Sound like a plan?" I change my focus to him.

"Alright." He turns his body to face mine.

"3. 2. 1. You." We say in sync.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
ok... once again so so soooo sorry that i literally haven't updated for a year i honestly needed a break from everything so i deleted all social media for a year. this has honestly been one of the best years of my life because instead of sitting around staring at my phone i got out of the house and travelled, went on adventures and i actually had to talk to people face to face. i would recommend doing this as it really clears your mind of all the negativity going on around you and even if you only did this for a week i'm sure you'd notice a heap of benefits in your mental health and your overall wellbeing. once again many apologies hope to keep updating again. i've got a few ideassss. and sorry if there are any typos i haven't edited yet. sorry not sorry 😐
