        ~last class of the day~

"Ok class, this project will be officially starting next Monday but i'll give you a head start because it's the first week of school." Ms. Loclin mentions before the bell rings.

As I'm grabbing my things someone approaches me, "Hey Al, did you forget about me?"

I turn around to find Grayson standing behind me.

"Grayson, hi!" I say as he pulls me into a hug.

"How was your summer?" He asks.

"It was good, sorry I didn't contact you, I got a new phone and forgot to add you to my contacts list." I address.

"You forgot about me?" He groans. "That one hurted." He dramatically says putting his hand on his chest.

We both laugh and continue our conversation as we walk out of the class room.

"So do you have any plans today?" Grayson asks as we walk to my locker.

"Not yet, you?"

"No but I would like to make some.. with you?"

"Oh yea, what do you have in mind?" I look up to see he was already looking at me.

He smiles, "I was thinking pizza, and a walk around the city."

"Sure." I answered.

"Cool, can I pick you up at 6 p.m.?"

I nod yes as we get to my locker. I couldn't help but smile.

"Ok, see you later Ali!"

"Wait, Gray, I don't have your number!" I state before he leaves.

"Oh yea, pass your phone?"

"Here" We hand each other our phones and switch contacts.

"Ok see you later Grayson."

He winks and walks away.

I, then, grab my stuff and start to walk to Evan's vehicle.

After waiting for the slow poke, he unlocks the car door and we both get in.

"How was your day?" I ask.

"Fine, you?"

"I love drama." I state.

"Oh no, what happened?" Evan asks with a worried tone.

"It's not that bad, but Taylor tried to announce to her friends what happened during the summer." I look down.

"Are you ok?"

"Yea, but I'm embarrassed." I fiddle with my thumbs.

"Ally, don't let what happened control you, ok? I'm sure Taylor didn't mean to hurt your feelings, she's your best friend." He reassures.

"I know." I sigh.

As soon as we got home, I ran to my room and texted my mom.

Me: Can I hang
out with a friend
tonight?

Mom: who's the friend?

Me: Grayson

Mom: Ok, be safe! curfew
is at 10!

I put my phone down and open up my closest. I browse the small room in search for something comfortable yet appealing to the eye.

A half an hour later, I finally put together an outfit. I put on some cuffed blue jeans with a lime green belt and black tank top. I grab my lime green windbreaker to match with some black vans.
I spot my makeup and immediately head to my vanity.

It's not a date but I can still look cute.

I grab the black eyelash curler and my better than sex mascara to start off with my makeup. I don't wear foundation anymore because my face is finally clearer than ever. I added an orange toned blush and a champagne coloured highlight to my face. Then, to top it off, I use a peachy lip gloss and BAM! Im done. I will put it in my small black hand bag if I need to reapply it.

After i'm done with the makeup , I take a stroll to the living room.

I planted my butt on the couch and went through my feed.

I winded up on youtube, binging Shane Dawson's conspiracy theory videos, until I hear the doorbell ring.

I look at the clock, 5:57 p.m. already?

I opened the door to find Grayson standing on the 'welcome' mat and smiling with his keys dangling held by his two fingers. "Hey, are you ready?" He says.

"Yea," I replied. "Evan, I'm heading out!" I shout before closing the house door.

"Wow, nice ride!" I state as we walk to his matte black Subaru Legacy.

"Thanks it was a gift from my father."

He starts the engine and we take off.

"I know of this great pizza place down by 8th street." Gray states.

"Sweet, what's it called." I ask.

"Lee's Pizza Parlour."

"Never heard of it." I state, looking out of the window.

"Really, my family and I go at least once every month." He smiles and scruffs his hair.

"Wanna listen to some music?" He asks while putting on his black sunglasses.

"Heck yah!" I optimistically say.

Grayson starts to blast music and we both jam out to the beat of the song, while he drives to this pizza parlour.
