Grayson Smith | ✔️

Chapter Twelve. Something Seems Fishy.

Edited.

Song for this chapter: Sleeping at last-Earth

Walking into school wasn't as bad as I anticipated it to be. Sure there were people whispering to each other as me and Grayson passed by them in the halls and a group of girls gawking at Grayson with flirtatious smirks on their faces. But he didn't even acknowledge them in the slightest and if he had to, he just gave them an awkward smile. But still I couldn't help but feel something in the pit of my stomach, was it jealously?

I knew the reason why they were staring at me like I was an alien from Mars was because they were so used to me being by Hunter's side, not daring to glance at any guy in school. And also because I happened to spill my coke over Kylie's head and throw my spaghetti at Brody.

What surprised me most though was that some of the guys from the football team gave Grayson a nod of the head as we walked passed, he nodded back not stopping. Now let me explain as to why that 'surprised' me. 

The guys on the football team only associated with people like themselves. Big, egotistical, jerks, who think they can get any girl they want. But Grayson was nothing like them,he didn't think about himself first, or sleep around and get drunk every weekend. 

Something seems a bit fishy and I for sure know it isn't Olivia since her and my brother are ditching school today.

I pushed the thought to the back of my head as me and Grayson walked to our lockers. So far there was no sign of Kylie or Brody, Thank God for that. I don't need her or him coming up to me complaining about their precious hair and how long it took for the coke or spaghetti to rinse away. There's worse things in life to be complaining about.

Getting to our lockers, we both got our books we needed for the first three classes.  I let out a deep sigh, ''Why do we have to do biology? I mean it's not like I'll ever need to know how to test for starch in my life'' I groaned, earning a chuckle from Grayson. 

''Who knows, you must just become a scientist'' Grayson sarcastically remarked. Me a scientist? No thank you. I'd rather become a stripper than be a scientist.

''And what will you become? A sugar daddy?''I fired back as seriously as possible, slamming my locker shut. 

I burst out into a fit of laughter at Grayson's reaction. His mouth was gaping open, his eyes wide in disbelief. But he still looked as handsome as he always does.

Wait? Did I just say handsome? 

Add that to my book of new vocabulary.

''I'm going to pretend I didn't just hear that'' Grayson chuckled, once he composed himself that is. Oh, Grayson. You're far too innocent for this world.

I squeezed his cheeks like a little kid, making him swat my hands away, both of us laughing. When our laughs died down from my total random cheek squeezing. We were both looking into each others eyes, his striking greens putting me under a trance. We both started to lean towards each other, slowly. He put his soft hand on my cheek, as his lips softly brushed off mine.

I was just a inch away from his plump lips being on mine when the sound of the school bell went off signalling for us to get to class, it made both of us nearly jump out of our skin. 

Why must something always distract us?

I sighed as I moved away from Grayson, his eyes were on me as I put a lose strand of hair behind my ear. Looking away from Grayson, my cheeks burning from what nearly happened before the school bell interrupted us. I noticed a few girls gawking and me and Grayson's, almost kiss. I didn't know any of the girls, but I think I had class with one of them, Becca I think her name was.
