Friends to lovers

Chapter 17 / the makeup

I climb into bed after my shower and grab my laptop to put on Netflix when I get a text from Ethan

E: Hey I know your probably not gonna reply, but I just gotta say this
E: I've know Gray all my life and even though he's a dick most of the time I've never seen him so sad, he truely does have feelings for you and what he did with Sophie was a mistake
E: I know this text probably won't help change your mind but I just had to let you know

I begin typing out a text when I realise I shouldn't be telling Ethan I should be telling Grayson

Me: hey, I know you probably won't believe me but I'm sorry
Gray: Grace, your talking to me?
Me: I'm still not happy but yes
Gray: can we talk tomorrow? In person
Me: sure, after school?
Gray: yeah

I fall asleep soon after and I'm glad I did because Ally texted me and I know I wouldn't of gotten much sleep if I had of read it

I wake up after my ear piecing alarm goes off and check my phone

E: thank you Grace x

Ally: wow, you make up with Grayson but still treat me like shit? Nice

I want to throw my phone at the wall after reading her text, how dare she message me after saying she wanted nothing to do with me, make up your mind.

I climb out of bed and begin to get ready, I'm trying not to think about Ally but she keeps popping into my mind making me angry. I turn on some music to calm me.

I get changed after my makeup putting on some ripped black jeans and a grey vans hoodie with my black high top converse. I head down stairs to where mom is sitting in the kitchen.

"Hey darl, what do you want for dinner? I'll be home around 7 so I'll just pick up something on the way home"
"Uh I don't mind, whatever you want" I say sitting beside her
"So what's this about skipping class huh?" She says randomly
I look at her nervously "I'm fighting with Ally right now and I didn't want to be class with her" I mean I was kinda telling the truth, I was fighting with Ally.

"You and Ally? Fighting?" My mom said shocked
"It's just over some stupid boy drama" I say grabbing an apple
"Okay, well you guys better make up soon, and I don't want you missing anymore classes okay?" she says firmly but I know she's not angry
"Okay Mom" I say kissing her cheek and heading out the door.

I head to school not feeling like seeing anyone. I decide to go to homeroom because I don't want mom getting mad at me. I walk in and see Ally and the others are already there, I sit down a few seats behind them and smile at Liv and Sarah.

Ally just looks at me but I don't bother looking back, I sit on my phone listening to music for the rest of the class. Finally it's lunch and I look for Sam.

Me: where are you?
Sam: oval, come meet my friends

I walk to the oval shocked that that's where he'd be considering he's not really the sporty type, as I glance up at the bleachers I see a bunch of people including Sam.

He waves and I rush over
"Hey" I smile at him and the people behind him
"Hey this is Alex, Josie, Cam and Jordan" he says
"Nice to meet you" Josie says holding out her hand, I shake it and smile

"This is Grace, she's in a couple of my classes and I was kind enough to take her in" he jokes
"What are you doing tonight?" Cam asks
"Wow, first time meeting her Cam calm down" Alex jokes
I laugh "uh I have plans whys that?" I ask
"Oh, well we go to this cafe every Tuesday and Friday night after school, they have live music and free muffins" he says making us all laugh

"Aww sorry, maybe I could come on Friday night?" I suggested and they all nodded
"Awesome" Sam says patting the seat beside him for me to sit down

I do as told and sit next to him
"So what are you up to tonight?" He asks
"Uhh.. well" I know what he's going to say but I can't hide it from him
"I'm meeting Grayson so we can talk this whole situation out" I say and see Sams smile turn to a confused look
"So.. uh you do still like him?" He asks
"I don't know, I just wanna talk it out and see what happens, if it works out then it works out" I say

"Right, okay" he says sounding upset
"You okay?" I ask
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He asked faking a smile
"I don't know" I say before the bell goes and his friends all get up to leave.

I stand up and begin walking "you coming?" I asked as he sat there his hands rested on his knees holding his head up
"Nah, free period" he says looking at me then quickly looking back at the field
"Okay, well text me later" I say before turning around to leave.

Why was he being like this, I mean he told me that I still liked Grayson and now that I'm trying to work it out he seems upset about it?

I don't know, maybe I'm over thinking it.
