I wake up knowing I have to face seeing everyone who hates me right now, including Esther. I put on some basic grey sweatpants and a black hoodie, leaving my hair in a messy bun.
I sit on my bed until I have to leave for school. I'm going to skip out on breakfast because I don't want to face Esther's judgement right now. I bet she regrets having me stay with her, all I've done is caused trouble and stress.
I walk downstairs to see Ethan and Grayson in the kitchen with Esther. So I go around the back entrance making my way to the school bus. Knowing that Grayson is in most of my classes is making me really anxious.
As I get on the bus i realise that I know nobody in my area apart from Grayson, Esther and Ethan. The feeling that I felt in the toilets yesterday is swarming back, I sit in the back in the corner thinking of the tips that Zoe had taught me.
The bus ride got better once I called Zoe, she made me forget about all my problems and calmed me down.
When I got to school I went straight to the library. I knew that Grayson would be in homeroom, putting off contact for as long as possible is my best option.
The bell goes off for first period, I have math, with Grayson... I seriously don't know how I'm going to do this. I walk to the math door and see Grayson already at his usual spot. I walk in sitting at the opposite side of the room instantly sinking my head into my textbook.
"DENON BACK TO YOUR SEATING PLAN", Dr Caplen shouts.
Great now I have to sit next to Grayson. As I walk towards my seat Grayson looks up at me in tears, I've inflicted so much pain on him. I sit down opening my text book, I could hear sniffling coming from Grayson. How can I concentrate knowing that all of this was because of me. I moved here, I moved into his life along with drama and tears.
"Hailey", Grayson whispers in his raspy fractured voice.
I place my hand on his thigh giving him a weak smile.
"Grayson I'm doing this for your career, I promise you that you will thank me later" I say to him. His face turns to me dropping into anger, storming out of the classroom. I follow him outside into the corrodor.
"Grayson" I shout
"What Hailey, you seriously think that I only care about my career", Grayson bursts into tears. I run upto Grayson engulfing him into a hug, he breaks down in my arms. We have known each other for such a little time, how are the feelings so strong. I can't keep away, I'm falling for this kid.
Guys I'm really stressed out with school it's so late as I'm typing this. I've done three essays tonight that are due tomorrow, so that's why the chapter is short. It's the weekend tomorrow so I'll be able to write some goodies don't you worry.
ALSO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING YESTERDAY! SCHOOL IS KILLING ME
