HAYLEE'S P.O.V

I hear the door slam and I look up at Cody who doesn't seem fazed by the sound so I just shrug and put some food in my bag for the day.
"So how do you know that kid?" I look at him and he staring at me, I couldn't help but blush.

"Uh, well him and another guy are kinda fighting for my love and well it's a long story" I fidget with my hands and he raises an eyebrow at me "I got time tell me" i sigh and explain the whole situation to him and he laughs, hard.

"Cody it's not funny! I even have a whiteboard counting points!" I yell at him and he's still laughing and I can't help but smile.
"I saw that actually, who's the 3rd person on the board tho?" He steps towards me and I look down.
"No one yet, keeping my options open" I feel his finger tilt my chin up towards his face.

"How about me? I love a good game" He whispers and I shiver and nod slowly, why not?
He grins at me and picks up my bag walking towards the door and opening it for me, I walk towards him and smile grabbing my bag from his grip.

"I'll pick you up from school today, okay?" He smiles at me, I nod and I get up on my tippy toes and kiss his cheek and I instantly blush, I didn't realise what I did until my feet where flat again but grins at me.
I can see Grayson tense up but I don't care, he walked out on me, again.

"Bye Cody" I wave and turn around, I feel Grayson's hand on my lower back guiding me away.

GRAYSON'S P.O.V

As soon as I saw Cody at that door with Haylee something inside me snapped and I couldn't help but get angry.

He wasn't her type at all and I was determined to know why he was there at that time in the morning.
I watched the door be opened again only to see Cody and Haylee exchanging goodbyes, mumbling something about picking her up from school. Then she got on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek, I felt something run through my body, jealousy? No no way.

She walks towards me and I put my hand protectively on her lower back, looking back to Cody, he is leaning against the door frame with a smoke in hand and a raised eyebrow in my direction.

I turn around and I can feel the heat rising on my neck. I get to the car open the passenger door for Haylee, I slam it closed and jog around to the driver's side and hop in.

We drove in silence for awhile until I spoke "Who is Cody?" I grumble and she laughs lightly but I know its sarcastic, I can basically hear it dripping out of her mouth.
"Why should it matter to you? You walked out that night and didn't come back, no calls or texts, hell not even a note and you want to know my private life? Big no no Grayson, it doesn't work like that, do not pass go do not collect my heart, get out of my head" I just pulled up the hand brake and she grabs her bag roughly looking me straight in the eyes "Grow up Gray I'm sick of these games, if you care about me act like it, don't be such a child" and with that she slams the door shut and I sigh.

HAYLEE'S P.O.V

Tears stung my eyes as I stomped angrily away from the car and into the school building, I check my schedule, Double English today, great.
I go up the back of the class room and sit at my usual desk, I pull out my books since it's revision week every one is just working on stuff they missed or they are revising the work.

I get out my earphones and start to work through some work sheets, Grayson hovers near my desk but I don't budge, he groans loudly but moved away soon enough. I don't want to speak to him right now, he probably wants to apologize but how do I know if he even means it anymore.

I see the flash on my phone go off and grabbing it of the desk and pressing the home button I see the notification for a text message.
