Grayson's POV

I was sitting in class right now, about to fall asleep. I was so tired, because I didn't get enough sleep yesterday. Was it worth it though? Yes, it was. I felt closer to Nick and it made me happy, that he was slowly but surely letting me in. And who knows, maybe we'd even end up being good friends? I surely hoped so. There was so much more to learn about Nick and I was desperate to find out more and get to know him even better. I looked to my left and saw that Ethan was actually paying attention in class and I had hold back a laugh. He hated this class, even though he was really good at it. I really wanted it to be over, so I could go back to my dorm and take a nap. Even going back to my room yesterday didn't help. I couldn't fall back asleep so I was awake the entire time. I had fallen asleep at 2 AM, only to be woken up at 4 AM again. Which basically meant, that I had only gotten two hours of sleep. It was now 1 PM and only 15 minutes of class were left. I doze off for the next 15 minutes, the teacher was talking about his life right now anyway.

"Hurry up, Gray. I need to pee!" Ethan said, holding his crotch and I had to laugh.

"Then you go, I need to pack up my stuff. I'll meet you there." I told him and he nodded, running off afterwards. I made my way to the cafeteria instead, going to buy Ethan and I some food. We both hadn't eaten anything today yet.

All of a sudden, someone grabbed me and hugged me from behind. That action scared me, making me jump. I expected it to be Ethan, but when I turned around and saw Nick standing there with a big smile on his face, it made my eyes widen in shock.

"Why did you do that? You scared me!"

"Come on, you liked it. Don't even pretend like you didn't." He laughed and I had to smile. He looked happy, for once.

"Fine, I won't. Why did you do that, though?" I wondered. Did that mean we were friends, now? I mean surely you wouldn't do something like that to the person you hated...

"You looked cuddly, that's why."

"Cuddly...?"

"Yeah. You are wearing sweatpans and a hoody, that seems to be a little big on you. It looks cute." Did he seriously just call me cute? I looked away from him, my cheeks heating up. I couldn't believe it right now.

"Thanks. It's actually Ethan's hoody and not mine."

"Either way, it looks good on you."

"Why are you so nice to me? I'm so used to you being mean to me." I laughed, jokingly.

"Don't get used to it, Grayson. Don't expect me to be so nice all the time."

"Oh, don't you worry. I would never."

"Good. Now let's go." He put his arm around my waist, bringing me into his side and I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest! This feeling was so new to me, yet it felt so good and so... right. Almost like I didn't want it to end!

"Pick anything you want. I'll pay." He offered.

"No. I have my own money, Nick. I can pay for myself." I told him. There was no way I was going to let him pay for my stuff.

"Just do it, Grayson. Don't make it a big deal now." He demanded, but I still refused.

"No. I'm paying for my own stuff."

"Fine." After I had picked everything that I wanted to buy, I went to take out my wallet, but Nick beat me to it. He handed the cashier his money, holding me back with his other hand. Damn, he sure had a strong hand!

"Nick! What the-"

"Pshht. Come on now, let's get out of here." He grabbed my hand and led me outside, our hands were intertwined now. Okay, what? This was the second time he did that, but I didn't mind it at all.

"I hope you know that I am so pissed at you right now!"

"And do I care...? No. I don't."

"I told you I wanted to pay for my own stuff, why did you do that?" He placed both of his hands on my cheeks and crouched down to my level. He was also taller than me.

"Let it go, Grayson. I don't care what you have to say about it." I just stared into his eyes, suddenly unable to form any words. I seemed to get lost in his eyes, we were so close. So close, that I didn't even realize how close our faces were to each other. He inched his face even closer to mine. I could now feel his warm breath on my face, that made my whole body heat up during this chilly fall weather. He placed one hand on my chin, tilting my head up. His gaze fell to my lips and then back up to me, as if he was asking for permission.

"Can I...?" I felt myself nod, still lost in his eyes. And just as he was about to kiss me, my phone rang. This was so awkward and I silently cursed Ethan out inside my head. Damn you, Ethan!

"This never happend, alright? I have to go now."

He left me standing there, wondering what the actually fuck just happened.
