After a few minutes of enjoying the beautiful view in front of us in a comfortable silence, eating our snacks, we came up of the idea of playing 21 questions to get to know each other. So far I found out his favourite colour is grey, coincidence or not. And that he has a younger sister named Bella.

It was now his turn to question me, the only thing he found out about me so far was that my favourite movie was white chicks. He was looking at me with knowing eyes while he had his arm on the top of the bench with his head leaning on the palm of his hands. I was looking at him while sucking on a twizzler waiting for him to ask me something.

''Why did you kiss me?''. Hearing this made me nearly choke on my twizzler, coughing for air. How do I answer that? was I just trying to make Hunter jealous? or was I showing him that I no longer wanted him?

He chuckled at my reaction and wiggled his brows waiting for my reply, ''I didn't know it was you'' I sighed, and he smirked in return.

 ''Sure''He dragged on and I nudged him with my elbow playfully.

 ''But truthfully, I don't know why I did it'' I shrugged and exhaled a long breath.''I seen Hunter making out Olivia, and it just sparked something in me.'' I confessed truthfully, and he nodded his head in understanding.

 ''But I didn't feel jealous, I didn't really feel anything. So I guess I thought if I made out with someone else I'd feel regret...but I didn't ''.I looked down at my lap, not quite believing I actually told him that.

I've known Olivia had been cheating on my brother for a good while now, when I found out of course I told Jackson, but of course he chose to believe her over me, his own sister. But I have to give it to her, she did put on a good show when she showed up at our house, fake tears streaming down her face and consistently drilling it in his head that I was making it all up and with little convincing he chose to believe her. 

That was what? two years ago, and while my brother who is totally blinded by love has been faithful to her, she decided to sleep with anything and everything that breathes.

I've giving up on trying to tell Jackson that she's cheating a year ago, so if he ends up catching her in bed with someone else, he better not come to me. All i'd have to say is 'I told you so'.

I tend to get lost in my thoughts a lot of the time, so I wasn't surprised to be getting startled by Grayson snapping me out of my thoughts, ''Libby?'' He said gently, touching my arm. 

 I gave him a reassuring smile ''Huh?'' I look over at him slightly widening my eyes as I did.

 ''I was just saying that you should stay away from him''. 

I wish it was that easy Grayson, if I could choose to never see him again, I would in a heartbeat. But we have school together, it's very likely I'll end up seeing him again.

I nodded my head and took in a breath, ''I think so too''. A soft smile started to emit from his lips as he looked down at me and into my eyes, his stare wasn't intimidating like Hunters always is, it was relaxing, securing and most of all...loving. 

No, i'm not saying I love the kid but the way he's looking at me right now makes me feel loved. I shyly looked away, I don't know why I act like this around Grayson. I'm never like this around guys. I'm always eccentric with guys but with Grayson? it's different. It's like I don't have to pretend to be somebody i'm not.

I mean I could be totally wrong, I don't even know who this guy really is. For all I know he could have robbed that Mercedes and made up a fake name to lure me here so he could murder me, because that would make the front page.
