Elle

(3 weeks later)

I'm back to a brunette. I changed my makeup routine. I changed my style.

I changed quite a bit since me and Grayson have been hanging out together more.

He's rubbing off on me quite a bit. The old me is kinda coming back. I can feel it in a way.

I'm sitting out by the bleachers and see Grayson walking over towards me.

I put my phone in my pocket and Grayson sits down next to me. "Hiya bup." I poke the tip of his nose and he growls at me.

"Oh shut up." I giggle and admire his facial features. The way his eyes sparkled in the sunlight. His lips, plump and pink. His jawline, sharp af.

I mentally laugh at my comment on his jawline. Grayson hands me a paper. I look at it and am about to open it.

"No. Open it later." Grayson gently removes my hands from the paper. "Oh my god, what's the difference going to be later?" I scoff and roll my eyes.

I blow a bubble and point it at Grayson. If pops all over him. He glares at me and I stick my tongue out at him. He gets up and helps me up and we walk to Science together.

"Gray, hurry." I whisper and he runs out of the store with his bad filled of candy.

Yes, we just robbed the candy shop. Like the little kids we are. We run the rest of the way home cause we didn't have the car.

"Gray." I say trying to catch my breath after we run in the house.

He looks over at me as he pants and puts his hands on his knees and crouches.

"What if I told you that I wanted to be the old me again?" I look down at my fingers and start playing with the ring on my finger.

The one Jacob gave me. Grayson starts talking but I shut him out, lost in my own thoughts.

If Jacob really loved me he would have waited. Not go with other girls, just because we are a long distance relationship.

If he really loved me, he would have left me before going with another girl. It would have saved me from the heartbreak.

I snap out of my thoughts and see Grayson staring at me. "Stop worrying about Jacob."

I look at him surprised he just said that. It was like he was reading my thoughts the whole time. "What-?"

"You're like an open book, Elle. You look at the ring and suddenly you go into depressed mode. You don't want to talk to anyone and all you want to do is go through all your pictures and re read the texts. You need to forget about that dick. He didn't deserve you."

I look back down at the ring and take it off. "You're right. Jacob can screw himself. I don't need him."

I throw the ring outside into the street and walk back inside. I see Grayson smiling in satisfaction. "That's my girl. Now, what are we going to do with all this candy?"

I smirk and grab the bag. "I have a good idea."

---

Me and Grayson are sitting down on the couch watching The 100, when we hear Ethan storming down the stairs.

I pause the show and look up towards Ethan. "Hey. What's up with you?" I try not to smile.

"Care to explain to me why there is candy under my bed sheets? And in my pillow case?" He folds his arms and Grayson snorts.

I hold back my laugh and shrug. "I don't know. Maybe the tooth fairy put it there. Instead of money." He rolls his eyes and grabs the remote from beside me.

"Hey bro! I was watching that!" I yell at Ethan as he turns the TV off. "Yeah, and I was trying to sleep. But I couldn't because my bed was strangely uncomfortable."

Grayson's head snaps up to look up at Ethan and he gets up and tackles Ethan to the floor. I snatch the remote from Ethan and turn the TV back on. "Have fun you two." I smirk and get comfy again.

I hear movement and them silence. I pause the show and look behind me to be faced with darkness. "What the-" Grayson and Ethan jump out at me and start tickling me.

I sit there and try not to laugh, hoping they wouldn't find my most ticklish spot. My feet.

Grayson makes his way down to my feet and I hurry and stick them under the closest thing to me. Grayson laughs, "I found it."

Ethan pulls my feet out and holds them securely in his hands as I try and wiggle out of his grasp. "Haha no stop!" I yell as Grayson starts to tickle me.

I almost get free but Ethan sits on my calves. "Fuck you Ethan." I say between laughs. We hear a door open and hurry and sit back in our spots.

I unpause the show and almost right after Mrs. and Mr. Dolan walk in with grocery bags in their hands. I get up and offer to help.

---

After eating dinner with the whole Dolan family I decide to head back home. I grab Grayson's keys and throw them to him.

They land safely in his hands and we walk out the door.

As he pulls out of the driveway he clears his throat. "What?" I ask turning my attention to him.

"What you were saying earlier. About going back to the old you. Are you sure you want to do that? I don't want you to feel like you have to go back to that just to hangout with me."

I scoff, "Gray, please. I know you would hangout with me anyways because I'm a fucking savage and you can't stay away. Plus, I want to. I hate playing the good girl act all the time."

He looks over at me then back at the road. He smiles, "I can't wait to get to know her." I shake my head and look down at my hands. More specifically, where the ring was supposed to be.

I roll my eyes and look out the window.
