TAMMY'S POV

Grayson suddenly flew a hard punch at Zeke without any hesitation.

Zeke jolted back onto the ground, holding his eye. I looked over to Chuck who looked scared out of his pants.

Grayson turned towards him, "You want one too?" He threatened.

Chuck shook his head and ran away, pushing through all the people.

"What are you still doing here?! Leave!" Ethan shouted, trying to make everyone leave us alone.

Luckily they feared what Grayson would do to them, so they left in a flash.

I speed walked over to Grayson and grabbed him into a tight hug.

"Thank you, Grayson. You're the best friend that anyone could ask for." I said, still hugging him.

He nodded and pulled out the hug. "We should probably leave this douche now. Come on." He said grabbing my backpack, which layed on the ground, and walked to the lacrosse field.

Just as I began walking, Zeke stopped me. Luckily the others didn't see it, they kept on walking.

"What, Zeke?" I said crossing my arms.

"Don't leave me, I actually like you. I thought I didn't, but then I realized it more after we broke up." He said standing up.

"No, Zeke! You broke my heart! So wether you like me now or not, I don't like you anymore! And plus, you just made fun of me like a total idiot! We will never be together again!" I took a deep breath to calm myself down. "Now, good day sir." I said sarcastically and began walking, but realized something just as I turned around. "Wait, was all this because you were jealous? Of Grayson?" I frowned.

"Maybe. Because he gets to stand up for you and protect you, and I want to do that." He said taking a step closer.

"You won't have it. Grayson is my best friend and he'll always be there for me and I for him. Goodbye." I said turning around and walked to the lacrosse field.

Grayson, Syd and Ethan were surprisingly not that far infront of me, so I jogged over to them. Grayson was still walking infront of the others, which shows that he's still pissed.

As we got to the bleachers, Grayson put down our bags and gabe a big sigh, putting his hands in his hair in frustration.

"Grayson, calm down." I said taking his hand off of his head. "Don't let him get to you any further. This is your last day."

"You're right. I'm sorry, Tammy. I'm just really protective over you." He said pulling me into another hug.

"I just don't want to be the reason of another problem coming into your life." I said hugging back.

"You aren't, and you also won't be." He pulled away and smiled. "By the way, guys." He said now facing me and Sydney. "Today is our last school day, but" he held a finger up "Mr Stevenson said that we have to play Thursday's homecoming football game, since Friday is homecoming, which we also can attend, and play Saturday's last lacrosse game of the season."

"Oh my gosh! This is great! I felt so bad for not being at your last game because I thought it was your last!" Sydney shouted, throwing her hands up in the air.

"And we're especially pumped to be able to come to homecoming." Ethan said. "Speaking of..." he turned to Sydney. "Hold on just a sec." he jogged to his backpack and got out a small bunch of roses and a Hersey's bar, her favorite, and jogged back to her. "Would you do me a favor and accompany me at homecoming?"

"Oh my gosh this is so cheesy, yet so freaking adorable." I said covering my mouth with my hands. Grayson just chuckled and playfully punched me on the shoulder.

"You didn't even have to ask, Ethan! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Sydney said, quickly pulling Ethan into a tight embrace.

Me and Grayson just stood there laughing. They held onto each other for a long time before Grayson came to break them up.

"Guys, break it up. Me and Tammy are starting to feel awkward now." he chuckled as I nodded.

"Oh, Grayson. You're just jealous that I have someone and you don't." Ethan teased while handing the roses and bar of chocolate to Sydney.

Grayson rolled his eyes.

"Wait, you do, but you're too much of a wussy to make a move." Ethan laughed and Grayson hit him on the arm.

"Shut up." Grayson said sitting on his spot on the bleachers. I walked over to him and sat next to him on my spot.

"You know," Sydney said walking over to us slowly. "You two can go to homecoming together! Because of me and Ethan going together."

I looked at Grayson and he looked back at me, "What do you think?" I said.

"Sounds fun. As friends right?" He said.

I nodded and looked over at Ethan and Sydney who were rolling their eyes.

"Whatever." Sydney said right as the bell rang.

"Where are you guys now?" Grayson said as we stood up and picked up our bags.

"Art with Mrs Roux." I say as we all began walking.

"I have German, which is right over here." Sydney says stopping in front of the hallway closest to the field.

"I also have class in this hallway now, so I'll come with you." Grayson said. "Catch you guys later." he smiled and walked into the hallway with Sydney.

"I guess I'm walking with you." Ethan chuckled and we started walking.

"I'm so happy you'll be able to play the homecoming game, come to homecoming and play a game Saturday." I said.

"I'm happy too." he smiled.

It was silent of a while until he broke the silence, "So, what's happening with you and Gray?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I know you like him." he said giving me a smirk.

"I don't like Grayson that way, Ethan."

"Just admit it. You know you can trust me."

I rolled my eyes and replied with, "Fine okay. I like him, but not too extreme. You won't tell him, right?"

"Only if it comes up." He smiled and quickly ran away.

"Ethan Grant Dolan! That's so unfair!" I shouted after him and began laughing, shaking my head.
