I slowly open my eyes, to see that I am in my bed. I turn around, trying to gain conscience again. 

"How are you feeling?", Jane smiles. 

"I am good thanks", I barely smile at her, standing up to go to the bathroom. I actually wasn't feeling good, but I don't want her to worry about me. 

"I... um... I am really sorry about what happened last night", she whispers. 

"Why are you whispering?".

"I just thought maybe you didn't want to bring the topic", she looks down. 

I roll my eyes. "Are you talking about our fight, or the other thing?".

"Both. I am sorry for both", she stands up and hugs me. When she finally pulls away, she continues. "Grayson likes you... a lot. The way he reacted yesterday to defend you... I am sure a lot of people noticed it".

"Yeah well.... I just hope Jackson didn't":

"Have you talk to him after last night?".

"Jane, you need to be more specific, are you talking about Grayson or Jackson?", I laugh. 

"Both... again", she laughs. 

"Neither", I raise my brows. "Now, I am going to take a shower and we can leave for school ok?", I say waking away. I just need time alone, I need to think about everything. 

...... 

As soon as I pull over the school parking lot, everybody is watching me. I guess they know what happened at my party. I roll my eyes and walk to my locker. Then, Luke approaches me. 

"Emma, I am so sorry... I don't know wha.... what happened, I just...", but he was cut of by someone yelling at him from the other side of the hall. 

"What part of 'get the fuck away from her' you didn't understand?", Grayson approaches him, but doesn't hit him. 

"Dude, calm down. I just came to apologize...".

"I don't care", Grayson says. "Stay. The hell. Away. From her!", he says taking a step closer towards him. 

"Gray, calm down... it's ok. Just leave him", I roll my eyes, and look around to the crowd that was forming. 

"What is going on?", Jackson arrives. 

"Nothing... just...", but Grayson cuts me. 

"I am telling this douchebag to stay away from Emma", he said before Luke start to walk away, and so did the crowd. 

"Thank you so much Grayson, if it wasn't for you at the party... Emma would have...", Jackson couldn't finish the sentence. 

"No need to say thanks... just protect her, that's your only job since you are her boyfriend", he barely smiles. 

"I don't know what I would do without her", Jackson says. I almost laugh because he is such a hypocrite, saying he needs me while banging other girls? Then, out of nowhere he kisses me, in front of Grayson... and I know he is doing it on purpose, I just hope he doesn't suspect anything about Grayson and I. 

I just hear footsteps walking away, as I break Jackson's kiss quickly.  I look at Grayson who is already far away until he enters a class. 

"Ready to go babe?", Jackson asks. 

"Umm.. yeah sure", I say closing my locker and walking hand by hand with him. 

....

"I swear... Ethan is such a babe. At the party, we began talking and we exchange numbers. I think there is a possibility he likes me", Sasha says but I wasn't paying attention to her, I was just too deep in my own thoughts. 

"Emma? Are you listening?", she asks. 

"What? Oh yeah... Nice one Sash... he seems like a good guy", I smile eating a bit of my salad. 

"And so does Grayson. I mean... come on, two really hot twins at the school... that doesn't happen frequently. Beside, he is kind of a hero now, if you ask me", Mary laughs and so do the girls. "He seems to be your friend Emma! Do you think you can hook me up with him?", she asks. Of course this questions seems harmless, considering they don't know about our history. I just look at Jane who is also watching me raising her brows. 

"Girl, Grayson is off limits! Please, tell me you haven't notice the way he always looks at Emma, and he saving her at the party, and the way he reacted.. I don't think that he just wants to be her friend. Oh my God, and the way he threatened Luke today", Sasha tries to explain. 

"What? what happen today?", Mary asks. 

"Where do you live Mary? Everyone is talking about it", Jane laughs. 

"Can we just change the topic?", I say. I was not in the mood for a talk about the guy I like... what? again? What am I saying... I don't like him. 

"Are you going to tell your parents about what happened?", Sasha asks. 

"What?", I pause. "I can't. If  I tell them I almost got raped, then the party will be no secret. And I would be grounded for life!". 

"Oh come on, you are not going to get grounded for almost dying there!", Sasha continues. 

"Trust me Sash... you don't know my parents", I roll my eyes. 

Just then, the bell rings and it's time to continue with our classes. I have Science, and none of the girls are there, just Jackson and his group... which also means, Ethan and Grayson will be there too. Great... just what I need. 

....

"So everyone! You need to pick a partner to work with him or her the whole semester. You will have to support each other, sit in the same table, make homework and projects together. And choose wisely, because you will not be able to change partners", the teacher says looking at us. 

I already know I am going with Jackson, he is my boyfriend after all. The teacher begin to asks us one by one who is our partner. When it's my turn, I quickly say Jackson. 

"Um... Emma. I am sorry to do this, I know I told everyone that you could choose whoever you want. But since you are the best of the class, I was hoping you could be partner with Grayson, he could use your help to catch up", she says. 

"What? I...", but Grayson cuts me. 

"I don't want to be with her", I just turn around to see him with a dead glare and everyone in the room laughs. 

"I am not asking you Grayson. Besides, you did poorly on your first quiz. So yeah, you are going to be partner with Emma you want it or not", she say writing something in her notebook. 

I roll my eyes and lean back in my seat. When I look at Jackson he is also confused. "Then who will be my partner?", he asks. 

"Oh... um... you can be with Ethan", the teacher says without lifting her head from the notebook. 

Great... this year is getting better and better. I promised to myself I was going to stay away from Grayson for a while. But I guess, the universe is conspiring against me.
