Grayson's POV

It's been a few days since I met Nick. He was a very strange dude and not to mention, rude. He kept blocking me out, not even wanting to talk to me. I felt very awkward that day, yet I couldn't seem to stop thinking about that misterious boy. For some reason, I wanted to be friends with him and get to know him more. There was obviously something behind his facade, something dark. I didn't even tell Ethan about Nick, even though I should have. I never kept anything from Ethan and I felt bad for not telling him about that whole incident. I also went to the library more often these past few days, in hopes to see Nick again, but without success. Ethan was questioning my weird behaviour also, but I always told him that I wanted to go and study a bit more. He was still sick, so that made it a bit more believable.

"Gray, what's up with you? You've been in deep thoughts lately and you won't even tell me, your twin brother, the reason for your weird behaviour!" He said and slapped my head. I turned to him and only then noticed that I had completely zoned out.

"What do you mean? Everything is fine."

"I've been calling your name for like 2 minutes and you didn't even hear me. For real now, Gray. What's wrong? Is there anyone bullying you at the library? Coz if yes, I'll slap the shit out of them!" He was really mad and I felt really bad for not telling him the real reason.

"No, E. Don't worry about it. It's nothing, really. Exams are coming up and I'm feeling a bit anxious. That's all." Which wasn't exactly a lie. I did get really stressed out about exams or college in general.

"I know there is something else, Gray. I can see right through you, you don't have to lie to me. You know I would never judge you, right?"

"I know, E. I know. But really, it's nothing, so don't worry about it." I told him. I knew deep down, that there was way more to come.

"Liar."

"Ethan, please... Don't do that to me now." I told him, sighting.

"What? You are the one who is lying to me, his own twin brother."

"I'm not lying to you and you know that!"

"Well, I know nothing, because you won't tell me anything."

"I'm leaving, E." I said and grabbed my backpack. I really did not want to argue with him any further. And Ethan and I barely ever argued, so this was definitely hard for me.

"Where are you going? Stay! I'm not done talking to you!" He called after me.

"I'm going on a walk, don't bother calling me, coz I won't pick up. Love you, E."

I really needed to go out and clear my head, before I was going crazy. Ethan was suspicious and thought I was lying to him. I was lying to him, in a way. I just couldn't tell him about Nick, since I barely even knew him. Nick wasn't even interested in us being friends, so I was probably never going to see him again. I pulled my phone out and saw 5 missed calls from my brother. Of course he would call me, even when I told him not to. I decided to text him instead.

Don't worry, everything is fine. Just needed to get out and clear my head. Love you, E.

~ Gray

I didn't even know what was wrong with me. I didn't know if it was because of all the college stress or if I was just missing my family, who were all back in new jersey. Or if it was because of Nick. But that made no sense! I barely knew him and also, he was very rude towards me! So why did I even care? He just seemed so misterious to me. So, intriguing.

Was it the cold attitude he had towards me, that made him so interesting?

Was it the bad-boy vibe he had?

Or was I just that desperate to make friends?

It couldn't really have been the last option, because I wasn't even interested in making any friends or wanting any friends. Maybe Nick was an exception...?

Ugh, I was so confused! I wanted nothing more than to hit my head against the wall right now.

After my half an hour walk, I decided to go back to our dorm and have talk with Ethan. I hated arguing with him, he was all I had right now and I defnitely didn't want to lose him. I also decided to just forget about Nick. I haven't even seen him around in a few days, god knows where he was right now.

"Oh, you are back."

"I'm sorry, E. You know I hate fighting with you."

"It's alright, man. Come here." He held his arms wide open and I went over to him, hugging him tightly.

"Love you, Gray."

"I love you, E."

Only then did I notice the loud music that was being played by our dorm neighbours.

"What the hell? Why do they play the music so loud?" I asked and Ethan just sighed.

"They've been at it for the past half an hour. I went over there and knocked, but no one answered the door."

"Let me try." So I went over there and knocked a few times. At first, no one answered, but after a few minutes, the music got quieter and I heard footsteps coming towards me.

"What do you want? Stalking me now, huh?"

Of course no one other, but Nick himself answered the door. Just my luck.
