I hurry up and put on my favorite olive green jeans and my black crop top Bralette thing. I need some kind of jacket or I'll get written up. I rummage through my clothes and I can't find one.

"DELANEY YOUR GOING TO MISS THE BUS!"

"OKAY IM HURRYING" I'm never this late to the bus. Yes! I found my white coat and that's good enough. I run downstairs and put my hair in a bun and I hear the bus. I just put my white converse on untied and I realize that my backpack is upstairs.

"SHIT IM GOING TO MISS THE BUS"

"I can just drive you. You missed it already." He says.

"Ugh thanks jace. I'll just ride the bus home then" my parents go to work early in the morning and don't come home until dark so that's why I need him to drive me. He doesn't really mind driving me once in a while since he doesn't go to high school anymore.

He drives me to school and somehow I'm still on time. I get into the school and I see Grayson talking to Julian. I can't hear what they're saying but I really want to know, so I go over there.

"Hey guys! Whatcha talking about" I say and they both stare at me.

"I gotta go" Grayson says and he leaves.

"What did you say to him Julian?!"

"Don't worry about it. It's nothing"

"I want to worry about it! And if it's nothing then why did he look at me like he hated me?"

"It's not about you!!"

"I DONT REALLY CARE IF ITS ABOUT ME. I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID TO HIM"

"Fine. I told him that you kissed cole right after you stormed out of his house"

"WHAT? WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TELL HIM THAT. YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT I HAVE LIKED HIM AND I FINALLY GET TO TALK TO HIM AND YOU HAVE TO GO AND RUIN IT" I shouted at him and then walked away. I've never imagined screaming at him like that.

Now I'm dreading seeing Grayson in English today. I walk in the door and sit down while playing on my phone. Grayson comes in and sits down and doesn't look back at me. He has his elbows on the desk and his hands on his head. I really want to go over there and discuss what happened.

"Hey Grayson?" He looks up at me and his eye got a little better but you can still tell he got punched in the eye.

"Can you let me explain please"

"No class is going to start" which was an excuse because the bell didn't even ring and the teacher wasn't here yet.

"Please Grayson. Just listen to me. I ran out of your house and then I called Olivia. She didn't answer and it started pouring. Cole just so happened to be right there at the right time. I got into his car and he gave me his sweatshirt cause I was soaked. Then I was telling him about what happened and he just kissed me. I pulled away and then I told him just to drive. It meant nothing to me. I swear that's what happened." I say and then walk away but he grabs my arm.

"Wait Delaney. Why did you tell him?"

"I thought I could trust him"

**a week later**

Grayson hasn't talked to me all week and I'm kinda getting worried. He hasn't been at school for two of those days. I decide to text him but he probably won't answer me.

I'm not sure if I believe him so I try to go find Ethan. At least he doesn't hate me. I go look for him in the hallways and then I go up to him.

"Hey is Grayson sick?" I say to Ethan.

"No why?" Wait what?

"I texted him and he told me he was sick! I wanted to stop by his house and make up whatever I did."

"Oh. I don't know why he stayed home. I'm not sure if you should go"

Honestly I don't care what people tell me anymore. I'm going to their house and that's final. I go after school and knock on their door. Grayson comes to the door and I look in the door and I see a girl half naked too. I knew her...
