Sparks Fly

Chapter 13

                   I grab my phone from Ray as she stands there giggling. She goes on her phone and tweets all about it. I try to cancel the upload but it isn’t working. Looking at Ray, I see that she’s calling someone.

  “Why did you do this?” I shout at her. She barely turns to look at me as she smirks.

  “I wanted everyone to know the real you, Graser. The jerk, asshole, idiot side of you.” Ray smiles. I look at her, confused.

  “The jerk, asshole, idiot side of me? What is that supposed to mean?” I ask.

  “Well didn’t you like that chick named Emma or whatever? Like she liked you and stuff and you cheated on her, wow.” Ray rolls her eyes.

  “Her name is Emily and she and I aren’t dating so I’m free to do what I want.” I say, a bit angrily.

  “Aw, you should’ve chosen your words more carefully Graser,” Ray smirks as she points behind me. I slowly turn around to see Emily standing behind me. Of course. Of course this would happen. My mouth starts to open so I can tell her that I didn’t mean it like how she perceived it but it’s too late.

            “I thought you actually liked me Graser, but I thought wrong. I hope you had a fun make out session with this random slut who you’ll never see again.” Emily says, venom dripping in her words. I look down at my feet. My eyes drop closed and I refuse to open them. I just need time to think. Slowly I open my eyes to see that Emily’s still there.

            “Why are you still here?” I ask, a bit too harshly.

  “Oh so you do want me to leave? Ok, cool. I’m going to go hang out with Jordan. At least he’s decent.” She says, turning on her heel. Ray stands beside me, looking at her nails.

  “She’s boring,” She looks up at me, grinning a bit.

  “No, she’s perfect. You’re the one who’s boring.” I say bitterly. Ray’s mouth opens wide in shock.

  “No! Graser! Our shippers! Think about our shippers. Do you know how bad they’ll feel now? Their OTP is being broken up!” Ray says desperately.

  “Well, our ‘shippers’ are pretty dumb. Why would they ship someone like you with someone like me? Just give up this stupid act before I get really mad. You don’t want to see me really mad.” I say, walking off to find Emily. I just mess up so many times. Why did I have to make out with Ray? Now Emily probably hates me. While I’m walking to find Emily, I accidentally bump into Grape. Grape!

  “Grapeapplesauuuuuuce!” I sing loudly, and he looks up at me with confusion, and then amusement.

  “Hey there Graser,” He chuckles, tucking his phone into his pocket.

  “How many fans have you met so far?” I ask, trying to keep the conversation light.

  “Uh, maybe about 50? How about you?” He asks, smiling. But before I reply, I see Emily and Jordan together.

  “Uh, I need to go now. Talk to you later,” I say awkwardly as I walk somewhat over to them. Emily moves in closer to Jordan and I then see his lips on hers. I look down. I guess I’m just a second choice now.
