quick note
imma be doing this story all from her pov caus i'm lazy and i'm changing her name to tyler. oh yeah and it's all gonna be in lower case cause i can't be bothered to capitalise shit. okie...

i can't comprehend what just happened.

"mate... are you joking?!" i ask still in disbelief of what he just said.

"ugh yeah. but what about what you said! were you serious!" he seems just as shocked as i am.

i nod. we both sit in silence, looking at the sand. until i decide to speak up.

"so... are we gonna do this or what?" i stand up reaching my hand out for him to grab.

"grayson dolan. you are my best friend and i was wondering if-" but before i could finish he interrupts me with a huge yes and embraces me into a hug.

i love his hugs.

we finish our afternoon off with a swim before we both go home. as soon as i enter my apartment i flop onto my bed, a smile stretched across the majority of my face. this has got to be one of the best days of my life.

i wake up the next morning still filled with ecstasy from the thought of dating my best friend. my thoughts are interrupted by my phone vibrating atop my wooden bedside table. it's gray.

goob: hey ty can you give me a lift to school please?

me: yeah sure be there in 10.

i put my phone down and hurriedly pull on khaki-beige overalls and a white top. pairing them with a pair of navy blue all stars. i grab my phone, keys and backpack and race out the door.

"hey ty." he says sliding into the passenger seat.

"hey goob. so i heard you've got a girlfriend now? she must be pretty cool to be dating my best friend." laughter erupts out of my mouth.

"yeah. she's a real goof, but she's absolutely stunning." -he smirks giving me a cheeky wink- " it's funny cause i heard your boyfriend is pretty cool himself." god his laugh will be the death of me.

"oh yeah. he's a real looker and my goodness he has the most gorgeous laugh i've ever heard." he holds his hand out signalling for me to hold it. we interlock fingers and don't let go for the remainder of the trip.

we walk into school, still holding hands, earning looks from mostly everyone. through the halls, whispers and stares fill the air. my cheeks start to feel hot only to be reassured by gray whispering in my ear.

skip to lunch
there's only a few groups in the cafeteria at this point so i grab my food and sit at one of the empty tables. i begin to eat whilst waiting for all of my friends to show up. gray and a couple of others come and join me at the table and begin to chat about some of the stuff that has happened today.

a trio of girls walk in and i honestly have no clue as to who they are. no one seems to be making eye contact with them keeping their heads low. i couldn't care less so i continue to eat my lunch as per usual. that's when i get shot a death stare from the girl at the point of the triangle and she begins to walk over to our table.

"ty! don't say anything stupid." i hear gray murmur to me. honestly what could be so bad about her.

"um... excuse me, that's our table." says the girl.

"oh we're so sorry we'll move right now!" jaz begins to stand up along with a couple others.

"jaz sit... sorry sweetie. but i don't seem to see your name on it. who are you?" i ask a sarcastic grin creeps on to my face. she seems shocked at my question.

"i'm valerie, valerie smead. and this is my table." her voice is stern but i stand my ground. forcing her to move to another table.

"if i see you at this table again, oh lord, you better watch your back." she snarls.

"ok val! this was fun let's do it again tomorrow." i add extra enthusiasm into my voice and give her a big wave at the end. earning a scowl from her and her minions.

"wow ty, no one's ever really stood up to her. i'm impressed." says ally.

it's not me that's gonna need to watch my back it's her.

++

"wanna lift?" i ask running up to gray. he nods walking beside me to the car. we hop in and i begin the drive.

"hey. i just realised we never told anyone today that we're dating." he looks over at me.

"no we didn't but i think they got the impression. you know we did kinda walk in holding hands."

"yeah i suppose." i keep my eyes strictly on the road. but i can feel his stare burning into my cheek.

"enjoying the view?" a playful smile dances across his face as he shakes himself out of a trance.

"how could i not stare at the most beautiful girl in the world. AND she's my girlfriend! score!" he does a little fist pump before placing his hand on my bare thigh, sending shivers down my spine and spreading a smile on my face.

he smirks knowing what he did and gives it a light squeeze. causing me to jump a little.

"grayson dolan. oh, the things you do to me." i shake my head as we pull up to his house.

"wanna come in?"
