"okay everyone hurry! get in line!" my dad called out, ushering everyone closer.

a young brunette walked over and examined our boarding passes, leading us towards the desk so we could board the plane. passengers around us began to stand up, forming a line behind us at the gate.

"here" my dad said as he passed each of us a map of the plane,

"i circled all of your seats, we'll meet after the flight" he instructed before he and mom disappeared into the plane.

"where are you guys sitting?" abby inquired, ethan standing close behind her. i looked down at the map, my eyes scanning it until i found red circles around 2 seats. me and grayson were near the back of the plane.

just lovely.

"uh.. the back" i replied, looking up at her

"huh...interesting" abby said slowly, smirking and turning to ethan who mirrored her expression

"ha.ha" i deadpanned, crossing my arms and watching them as they waved goodbye and entered the plane.

"about time" grayson mumbled from behind me, reaching forward and grabbing the map from my hands. he didn't say a word as he entered the plane, i followed him and stopped when he did as we approached a row at the back.

"here" he chortled, eyeing a seat which seemed to be occupied by blonde haired boy who looked to be around our age,

"i call window" grayson declared, not sparing a second before plopping into the window seat.

great, now i have to sit in between two guys.

i sat down and immediately took out my book 'harry potter and the order of the phoenix', ignoring grayson's judging glances and started to read.

"im robbie" the guy beside me whispered, i looked up and gave him a small smile before returning to my book. beside me grayson was looking out the window, sitting still.

"and you are?" robbie mumbled, staring at me expectantly.

he's getting annoying already.

"ashley" i replied shortly, sending him a tilted smile and returning to my book.

"cute name... just like you" he added, smiling.

i wanted to drown into my seat because of the cringe but i merely looked up let out a forced laugh

"thanks" i deadpanned, returning to my book. i had only gotten halfway through a sentence before he spoke again

"where are you flying to?"

i creased a brow, "a place..." i said slowly, trailing off and trying to return back to a book just waiting to be read.

he frowned when he clearly didn't get the answer he was hoping for but i'm not about to give away my personal information. its going to be like brent all over again.

"aren't we all" he joked, chuckling.

i groaned internally, turning my head a little to see what grayson was up to. his eyes were glued to his phone as he scrolled through instagram, occasionally looking out the window.

"mind if i get your number?" robbie asked after a short moment of silence

i internally facepalmed, "no sorry" i answered, sending him a weak smile. grayson looked over at us for a split second before his eyes were glued back on his phone again.

"oh...its alright" robbie mumbled from beside me, sending me a sheepish smile. he briefly stared at me before turning around and pulling out his phone

finally.

i let out a quiet sigh, returning to my book and managing to get through a few pages without being interrupted, perfect.

i was so engulfed into my book that i didn't notice robbie had slowly inched his hand forward until it was right ontop of mine. it didn't register into my brain for a hot second until i pulled my hand away quickly, glaring at him.

"who do you think you are to touch me?" i whisper shouted through gritted teeth, trying not to cause a scene

"oh shit..sorry" he mumbled, trying to hide a smirk

"what the fuck bro?" grayson's voice said from beside me causing me to flinch a little

"what?" robbie asked innocently, acting as if he had no idea what he did.

"don't. touch. her." grayson threatened, his fists curled up

"and who are you?" robbie asked nonchalantly, crossing his hands over his chest.

"her boyfriend, problem?" grayson replied shortly,

when it finally registered in my head, my eyed widened at grayson.
