Grayson Smith | ✔️

Chapter Three. He's all talk and no action.

*Edited*

Song for this chapter: Shane-Sinister. (This guys is SO underrated and so so so talented!, his music videos are also hilarious, my fav being 'insecure'. I think this is the only 'normal' music video he has)

His name suited him perfectly, his parents did a good job not only choosing the perfect name for him but also for giving him god-like features. He's like a hot nerd to be exact. ''Well Grayson'' Mrs.Hudson said looking around the room, '' Go on down and sit next to Elizabeth''.

 I hate when people call me that, ''Libby'' I corrected her, rolling my eyes. Grayson smiled and nodded his head at the teacher and walked down to me, he put his navy jansport schoolbag on the table as he took a chair out from underneath the desk. After he sat down, he put his schoolbag down on the ground next to him and took out the stuff he needed for class.

I couldn't help but think about how good he smelled, he's definitely using lynx Africa. I was playing around with a pencil in between my fingers, something I do during class when I just couldn't care less about what the teacher was saying. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Grayson looking at me. I looked at him about to confront him but he just turned his head.

 I sighed in annoyance and turned my attention back to Mrs.Hudson. ''Okay class'' Mrs.Hudson spoke up, ''I want you to discuss with the person next to you, what happens during photosynthesis''. 

I mentally groaned for one: finding this the most boring subject invented and two: for having to talk to this kid Grayson.

 He doesn't seem like a bad person, but I honestly couldn't be bothered to talk to anyone who wasn't part of our group and because if Hunter finds out, this Grayson kid is done for.

He turned around so he was facing the side of my face, but I hadn't yet turned around to face him. I glanced at him slightly to see him smiling at me like the big weirdo I'm sure he is. I let out a breath of annoyance and turned around to face him, raising my brows questionably.

 He looked me in the eyes as if searching for something, I looked away not liking what he was doing. ''So what happens during photosynthesis?'' He asks looking at me, then leans his arm on the table and rests his head on his hand. 

I nearly laughed when he asked me this, ''You're asking the wrong girl'' I replied in monotone, with no emotion evident in my voice.

Just out of the blue he asks me something random, ''What's your name?''.

I huffed and looked at him boringly. ''I'm pretty sure Miss already said what my name is'' I told him bluntly. ''And to be honest, why do you care? It's not like you'll ever need to know my name''.

 He slightly frowned before smiling again. ''I will if we'll be working together''. I rolled my eyes at him, he actually thinks we'll be working....together. Not a chance.

 ''No, you'll be working alone while I...watch'' I fake smiled at him and turned away. I heard him sigh as I seen him write something down in his notebook, probably about his day or some boring shit like that.

''Okay class'' Mrs.Hudson spoke up once again. ''You've had enough time to discuss with the person next to you''. She stopped talking to take a look around class then her eyes landed on me. Don't pick me, Don't pick me, Don't pick me. 

''Libby, tell us what happens during photosynthesis''. I groaned loudly while I shot daggers at Grayson for hearing him chuckle from beside me. 

''Photosynthesis describes the process that plants use to convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Larger animals eat the smaller ones and also absorb their energy. Eventually, the largest animals die and their energy is returned to the soil where it is absorbed by plants''. I took in a breath after saying all that stuff making Grayson look at me with a mixture of shock and amusement, I looked at him and smirked. He obviously thought I was clueless.
