Run Away With Me

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

Sorry if this story sucks. This is my first story. I am truly trying my best. I am kind of winging this so please bare with me. I am going to apologize ahead of time for any grammatical mistakes. Thank you for choosing to read this story, and I hope you enjoy 😊❤️❤️❤️.

"Wow. Isn't he gorgeous?" My best friend Elizabeth says.

"I guess, but he is no Grayson Dolan" I say.

"You are still into that douchebag, what a surprise" she says sarcastically.

" I am not expecting you to understand my undying love for him!"I exclaim.

" Speak of the devil!" She says.

And there he was, Grayson Dolan, AKA the cutest, smartest, and most mysterious guy in our school along side his twin brother who wasn't at school today. They were popular and perfect. I envied how perfect they were. They never sticked with the same girl for more than a day making them also the hugest douchebags in our school. But I feel that deep down, they have a good heart and are broken on the inside. If only they could just find that special someone to piece him back up together.

"Salena!" ,Liz says while snapping her fingers,"lunch is almost over and you still haven't touched any of your food"

"Oops" I say while shoving as much food as I can into my mouth.

After I finished lunch, my last few classes sped by quickly, with the occasional glances and daydreams about Grayson. To say I was head over heels for him was an understatement.

As I waited by my locker for Liz, I heard heavy footsteps coming my way.

My locker slammed shut almost catching my hair with it,"Dang, who new a nerd could be so hot." The voice belonged to Grayson!!! He thought I was hot. OMG! I felt heat rise up to my cheeks and I new I was blushing. He then started playing with my long, brown hair.

" I uh I uh got to go now" I said rushing past him. He quickly spanked my butt as I rushed past him. Could that have been anymore embarrassing. I don't really know how to act around boys due to my lovely dad (note the sarcasm)who sent me to an all girls boarding school so he didn't have to deal with me. He transferred me to Hanahan High for high school cause the boarding school was out of his price range. This made me very unsociable. For Pete's sake, I haven't even kissed a boy yet. I know, 17 and still haven't kissed a boy. I'm not like those girls who want to wait till there married to do the dirty deed. In fact I want to take risks and live a little but am to introverted to do so. I've been in high school for two years now and have only made one friend, thanks to Liz. Where is Liz? I thought while walking around the now empty hallways. Maybe she is at the parking lot.

While I made my way to the parking lot I saw a sight that made me stop dead in my tracks. Grayson sucking a girls face off. A gorgeous girl may I add. Nothing new but still effected me every time. My stomach dropped. How could I have ever thought that I could have that with Grayson. Grayson doesn't even know my name. I sat on a bench and pondered on the fact on why Grayson thought I was hot. I have no curves whatsoever. Liz says I have a bubble butt but I don't think so. I have barely any boobs. I am not super skinny though. I have long brown hair and brown eyes with long eyelashes. My lips are fuller which is one decent looking thing about me. I have tan skin due to me being Filipino. I'm not ugly, but I am boring. The only thing I really like about me are my freckles that line my nose and cheeks.

   After me sitting there for at least fifteen minutes Liz finally showed up breaking my thoughts. When I got in the car she just sat there staring at nothing.
"Why were you late?"

"Salena, have you noticed how Ethan hasn't showed up to school today?"

I looked at her in confusion,"Ethan who?"

"Ethan Dolan!" She said as if I was stupid. Come to think of it he wasn't at school today. But so what?

"Why is this such a big deal?"

" Because" she says hesitantly
"theyfoundhisdeadbodyhangingfromaropeinhisroom"

"WHAT!"
"They found his dead body hung by a rope in his room." She cried . " Salena, he hung himself!" She sobbed.

Although he wasn't a friend, the thought of anyone doing something this sad made tears build up in my eyes.

" H-how could h-he do that." I said between sobs.

Maybe his life wasn't as perfect as people thought it was.  You should never judge a book by its cover.

I hoped you guys enjoyed so far. Tell me what you thought in the comments.❤️
