Craving (h.g)

Hayes

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock beeping.

6:30 AM.

School starts at 8.

Enough time to completely change Hayes Grier.

I put shuffle on my music.

After I get out of the shower I let my hair sit and mess with it a bit.

Like I woke up like this, kind of look.

The look -

After I'm done I switch everything into my new black Jansport backpack.

The basic "I don't care about school" backpack.

I really do though.

But I won't show it.

(lol forgive me - dmc)

I grab my phone and keys.

I'm not supposed to drive but hey, Hayes wasn't supposed to.

But the New Hayes can.

I run out the front door before my mom can see me.

Okay okay okay Hayes.

What do we do?

I'm panicking.

I pull my inhaler out of my pocket.

I pump it and calm myself down in time.

What would the "cool guys" do?

Hmm.

Got it.

Be late to class and have the stupid attitude.

I head to get some gum, a red bull, and a bottled water from the convenience store.

It's 8:10.

Just 10 more minutes.

I pull over at some park.

After 5 minutes I leave.

Okay I can do this.

Hayes Grier can do this.

I pop a gum in my mouth and pick up my tardy slip.

1st period - math

I walk in and all eyes turn on me.

I start getting nervous.

I can't do this.

I'm a loser.

I glance up and see Layla staring at me.

Oh fuck yeah I can do this.

"What do you want young man?" The teacher asks.

"I'm late." I state handing her the pass walking to my seat.

"You can't be-" the teacher stops when she sees my name on the paper.

"Ah, Hayes Grier. I didn't recognize you there." She says picking up her pen to write something.

"Hey-" Layla starts.

"Sup." I interrupt.

"Um, you look really different. Nice different." She says looking at my body.

"Yeah. I know." I say.

I sound like a douche but it's what I have to do.

After a couple of periods of stares and questions, it's finally lunch.

I get my lunch from some little sandwich shop around the corner and eat in my car.

This feels great.

Before I would sit alone on the bench in front of the parking lot.

Now I'm in my car.

Feels nice.

I lay back in my seat until I hear a knock on my door.

"Hey! Do you want to be alone?" Layla asks.

"Um nah, hop in." I say.

Oh my god what did I just say.

I sound so dumb.

"Where's Brad?" I ask out of curiosity.

Her facial expression changes.

"Can we not talk about that right now?" She begs.

"Um, yeah, oh yeah sure." I stutter.

"You're weird." She laughs.

"Really?" I ask concerned.

"No Hayes." She says giggling a bit.

"I like your jacket, you'd have to let me borrow it sometime." She says hoping out my car.

Wow.

I'm the Hayes Grier who is GOING to get the girl this time.

Yes!

The rest of the day goes good and a couple of girls flirt with me and I only flirt back to the ones that are by Layla.

I'm such a jerk.

But it's what I have to do.

Hey! I'm so sorry for not updating it's just I thought nobody read this but people do! So I'm keeping it! One more coming rn!

Stay Happy! - dmc ♥️
