~Loren's P.O.V.~
"Come in LoLo. You've liked him since kindergarten." Henry says.
We both sit in my room, criss crossed on my bed. He's giving me a pep talk on how I can finally make Grayson Dolan mine. I've known Grayson since kindergarten. He poured yellow paint in my hair, and it was young love. We've been best friends ever since. Just friends. I've never had enough balls, to actually tell him how I feel. I dont want to end up hurting myself, or more importantly, him. But this year is the year. The year that it all changes. Hopefully.
"I've also feared the color yellow since kindergarten, but do you see me trying to get married and start a family? No." I say.
"You save that part for Grayson." Henry says.
"Is he even back yet? How do we even know he's coming back this year. I mean after his parents divorced, he was really torn up about it." I say.
I spin around in my chair. I look at myself in the vanity. I take a deep breath.
"Oh, he's back. And he got hot." Henry says.
I rush over to the window, and see him. Getting ready for the date that I planned. Trying his best to do his best. God, I hate how much I love him. He has me under a spell. A love spell and it makes do stupid things for him. For his love.
"He's always been hot to me." I say.
"Even when he had the resemblance close to a skunk?" Henry asks.
"That phase was god awful, he was still a hunk to me. I told you no matter what he does, or what I do this crush isn't gonna go away. Not any time soon." I say.
"Whatever,LoLo. Take your time when you guys create the future leaders of Crystal Creek." He says.
"I'll try, but trust me if we ever do have children they'll grow up far from this horrid town." I say.
I feel a buzz in my back pocket. I unlock my phone, and tap on the notification. It's Grayson.
G💕: omw to the diner
G💕: meet you there
Me: okay
Me: see you then
I lock my phone, and put it in my back pocket. I turn to Henry.
"How do I look?" I ask.
He looks me up and down. He tilts his head a bit, before speaking.
"Knitted sweater. Mom jeans. You are a live action Polly Pocket doll." He laughs.
"I'm serious. I wanna look good for him." I say.
"Honey, you don't need a man too look good for." He says.
I huff.
"But I'll help. Is Jasmine here?" He asks.
"No, she's out. Why?" I ask.
"She has a way better wardrobe than you." He says.
He sneaks to her room, and comes back minutes later with a variety of clothes.
"Try this, this, and this." He says.
He hands me a pink crop top, light wash jeans, and pink shoes.
"If this doesn't work, you could always get your nipples pierced to get his attention." He says.
"Right. Like that'll ever happen."
