Find My Way Back || g.d.

[ 10 ]

Grayson's POV

We went back to school and Malia started hanging out with us again. She walked over during lunch and took a seat next to Ethan.

"Hey, Mal." Ethan said.

"Hey guys." she smiled and set her lunch down.

"Are they back together?" some people whispered.

A lot of people knew about our relationship. We went to a small school so us being together for a long time shook them. When we broke up, people started talking, word was getting out. Guys asked her on dates but she said she felt it was too soon to be dating. Girls did the same thing to me.

Girls leaned into each other, "I think she fought Emily over Grayson."

"She looks like the jealous type."

Malia looked down at her fingers.

"Don't listen to them. They're just girls going around talking about drama and stuff." Ethan said and had her lean on his shoulder. "Irrelevant."

"Did she really just move on to Ethan? Literal slut."

"Excuse you? Just because we broke up doesn't mean we still can't be friends. Just because I started hanging with them again doesn't mean I'm dating either one of them. If you're gonna talk shit, fucking say it to my fucking face." Malia snapped.

Emily walked over. This isn't gonna go well.

"I still think Grayson deserves better. What he deserves is me. Not a small skank like you. You're broken up now. No chance of going back. And you think just because you kissed him means I'm gonna back off? Sweetie. We're far from that. He's gonna end up wanting me while you want to get back together with him. I mean after all, you stole him from me."

Malia balled her fists. I walked over to her.

"Are you crazy? Are you listening to yourself?" Malia balled her fists, "Alright. You wanna talk Grayson? Okay. How about we talk about that time he rejected you before he and I started dating. Talk about that time you tried to make up some kind of crazy story that I stole him from you and had people believe you until Grayson spoke up about it. Talk about the damn time you tried to get at him and showed all this cleavage and whatnot to try to lure him into dating you. You have so many discussions involving Grayson you can talk about. You're nothing but a phony."

Emily slapped her. Malia looked at her and smirked.

"Big mistake."

Emily grabbed her hair and they fought again.

"Malia." Ethan tried to separate them.

"Okay. Malia." we struggled to get them separated.

"What is going on here?" one of the superintendents asked.

"She started it. I just wanted to have a civil conversation with Malia and the boys and she snapped."

"Bull fucking shit." Malia rolled her eyes.

Her hair was now a mess and her clothes were stretched out.

"I want both of you in the principal's office now."

Malia's POV

I grabbed my stuff and frustratedly walked behind the superintendent. He opened the door to the office and the principal told us to take a seat.

"Explain to me what happened."

"Basically, to sum it all up, girls were calling me a slut for hanging out with she and the twins. So naturally, I stood up for myself. Then Emily came in and was basically asking for a fight and slapped me across the face and that's where all the physical fighting started." I rolled my eyes.

"Lies." Emily scoffed.

"Okay what happened from your perspective?"

"I walked over to have a civil conversation with them. I wanted to know if they wanted to hangout and get some frozen yogurt this week. But then Malia got jealous because I wanted to hangout with Grayson, her ex, and so she fought me."

"Seeing that you initiated the fight Malia–"

"What?" I was in shock. I saw Emily smirk from the corner of my eye.

"You will be suspended for 5 school days."

"This is a load of bullshit. If we had security footage, it would be the other way around."

"I will call your parents and let them kn–"

"Joke's on you. I don't have parents." I was livid.

Emily and the principal were shook. I'm lowkey laughing inside.

Daniel came to pick me up because no one else answered the phone. Rip.

Grayson walked over to me before I left.

"Let me see your palms."

"No." I said.

"Malia. Let me see your palms."

He saw the nail marks in my palms.

"Malia."

"I was mad." I turned around, "Daniel's waiting. I gotta go."

Every time I get extremely mad, I ball my fists and sometimes my nails dig into the palm of my hands. Which leave marks.

Dorsel Fin 🐬: are you okay?
what happened???

Me: I got suspended for 5 days 😊😊

Dorsel Fin 🐬: you were defending yourself I–

Me: oh well. Whatever.

I locked my phone. I really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. I didn't wanna blow up on someone and end up saying something I'll regret later on.

"So what happened back there kid?"

He tried to break the ice.

"She started the fight. It was not out of jealousy. Enough said."

"Malia." he said sternly.

"She called me a skank and said Grayson deserves better. And she was referring to herself and proceeded to slap me. So technically speaking, she started the fight."

"But technically, you took the first punch."

"You sound like the principal. I'd consider that slap the first punch. Dont @ me."

"You know you're gonna have to tell your sisters."

"I'll tell them during the pit and the peek of the day thing during dinner."
