My eyebrows arch.

Who the fuck is that. I ask myself as I watch Grayson talk and giggle with the tall, gorgeous girl in front of him. I feel my stomach twirl. 

I was hiding behind a concrete column, peeking at the amusing scene. I rolled my eyes. Grayson and I weren't even dating. Why the fuck was I even jealous?

I sigh. Finally giving up, I turn around to walk to my locker when I hear a voice call me. I thought it was Grayson's but when I looked up to see, it was Ethan, smiling widely as he approached me.

"Oh hey E, sup?" I asked, my eyes focused on the individual that stood behind him while he talked to me. 

"Just wanted to let you know about this party," Was the only thing I could hear. Everything else became inaudible, like an echo or simply a voice that seemed to be talking to me underwater. I couldn't hear Ethan, yet I could hear Grayson's conversation with the girl.

She was dead gorgeous, and tall but not as tall as Gray. She had long, blonde wavy hair and a tan that made her green eyes pop under the sunlight. She had a petite but curvy body. I was sure Gray already popped a boner by just looking at her.

I decided to figure out if he really did have one, and traveled my eyes from his hands, to his crotch.

No buldge.

"So what did you think?" I finally hear Ethan crystal clear. My eyes flicker over him and raise both eyebrows at him. "Sorry what was that?" I flicker my eyes back to Grayson.

"Gosh" He chuckled and follows my gaze. "Is there something wrong?" He smirks.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Something wrong?" I fake a laugh "No, just distracted, nothing else" 

"Well, I was talking about this party that a friend of mine is having. Wanna come?" I finally manage to focus at what Ethan was saying. I smiled vaguely.

"Another party?" I chuckled. "Uh, nah, sorry E, I don't think so" I shoved my hands into my pockets, shrugging my shoulders and biting my lower lip.

He laughs. "Grayson's coming" 

My eyes widen and I try my hardest to not show any emotion. "I'll think about it then" I finally managed to say.

He shook his head chuckling and rested his forearm on my head, making fun of my height. "Hey!" I giggled, pushing his arm off my head. "Couldn't help it, you're so short" He teases as I playfully punch his shoulder, making him laugh.

"What did I miss" Grayson jumps from behind and rests his hands on both Ethan and I's shoulder. 

"I was just letting May know about the party on Saturday" Ethan explains whilst we all walk towards the locker.

The rest of the day was boring, since I didn't have any class with any of the twins. I thought about the party Ethan was talking about, as I laid in bed, staring at the ceiling.

I sighed deeply and rolled to my side, now staring at the clock. It was 3 o'clock in the morning and  I couldn't still sleep, despite being tired. 

A single party won't hurt me. I thought to myself. Fuck it. I'll just go.

With my decision finally made, I did not notice time which passed by so quickly. It was already Saturday, and I let Ethan know that I was going, before the clock hit 12 pm. He texted me the address of where the party would take place and began getting ready after having a small lunch.
