"hey mum" I say through the phone.

"Yes, mum im fine. Yep Eth-" Ethan interrupts me, whispering through the phone.

"Pass the weed. Bela, pass the weed!" he laughs.

"Ethan shut up! No mum, I promise. No im not doing drugs. Mum!" I say.

Ethan laughs really loud.

"see he's just joking. Now can I go? No not to do drugs, mum im not doing drug. No!" I argue.

"okay alright bye, love you" I say, ending the call.

I throw my van shoe at him. "idiot, that's not funny."

"it was a little" he laughs, blocking my shoe. "now can we go, the others are waiting"

It's time to leave to meet Sam at the bomb fire party, the sun is just about to set.

I quickly pull my shoes on and I jump at the back of the truck, Zendaya joins me while Grayson and E are at the front.

"Sooo, how's it going?" Zendaya smirks. "have you told him yet?"

"no" I say. We're talking about 'me and Ethan'.

"agggghhhh" Zendaya swings her head back. "you're killing meee" she sighs.

"why are you worrying about me? Should you be focusing on...Grayson?" I whisper.

She uncomfortably slumps back. "what ar-are you talking about" she stutters.

"oh come on Ze, I know you like him" I smirk, forcing her head to the direction where Grayson is.

We watch as he laughs and as he shows his heart melting smile. I hear a swoon from Zendaya. But she shakes her head and looks the other way.

"he-he's not my type, I'm still with Jason" she says. I see her eyes sadly look over at Grayson.

"Zendaya" I say softly. "this is just my opinion. But... I want the best for my best friend. And so do you right? Best friends are there for best friends. And I will do anything and everything in my power for you to be happy. And the person I am, I can see what's coming" I say.

"what's coming?" she asks.

"Most popular guys take girls for granted, they don't have any respect. And I'm not trying to judge Jason or anything" i am judging him. "but, I don't want to see you hurt and sometimes, the best options are guys that worry about you all the time and look at you not just as a pretty girl, but instead as their everything." I say.

"how do you know Grayson is the one anyway" she says, looking away from me.

"I know him, he will treat you right I promise. Just give him a chance, cause he's given you one" I say.

She looks over and stares at him for a while. Not saying a word. I can tell she is trying to choose.

Zendaya has changed a lot after she met Grayson. She doesn't really care about what all the popular kids think of her and she doesn't want to impress anyone anymore, cause Grayson told her that. No matter how many times I told her not to care, she never listened to me. I don't know how, but she listen to Grayson.

"please" I say softly.

She opens her mouth "I-I" she tries to say something, but I can hear a massive knot forming in her throat. I see tears on the brim of her eyes.

"hey don't cry, it's okay" I say, pulling her into a hug. She cries in my neck.

"I don't know who Bela..." she whispers in my neck.
