Valerie's P.O.V.

"Well I got to go. Bye E." I waved goodbye and walked out the door. Grayson was waiting for Ethan I guessed. He was on his phone so he didn't see me. I was able to sneak past him.

"Valerie! Wait!" I heard a voice yell behind me. I just wanted to get home so I walked faster.

"'Valerie you can't ignore me. I'm taking you to prom remember?" Grayson chuckled.

"Yeah...I have to get home. See ya-"

"You can ride with me and E. Don't worry we don't bite. Plus I miss hanging out with you." He quickly interrupted.

"I don't want to interfere with Ethan's naps."

"No it's completely fine I promise. Come with me." He smiled as he interlocked his hand with mine.

As he touched my hand I felt a wave of emotions crash on me. I started to get flashbacks of Landon. I tried to hold the tears back as the excruciating pain of the memories stabbed back at me. I felt something that I haven't felt in ages.
I felt happy.

"Where's Ethan?" I tried to change the subject so he wouldn't catch on to my tears.

"What about me?" Ethan walks up then grabs Grayson's arm to pull him aside.
"Sorry but I'm stealing my brother for a second."

Ethan pulls Grayson to the side of the now empty hallway. I couldn't hear much, not that I was intending to ease drop. I started to pace in circles to pass by time.

Grayson's P.O.V.

"What do you want? Can't you see I was talking to Valerie?" I hated it when Ethan would interrupt all my moments.

"Sorry Gray but, I was wondering if you just want to end the bet?" His hand was rubbing the back of his neck so I knew he was nervous.

"Why? Wait you actually care about my feelings?"

"Grayson this isn't the time to be sarcastic. I'm serious, I want to end the bet."

"Why? You don't like being a 'Savage'?"

"GRAY-FUCKING-SON! This isn't the time to be playing around!"

"Yo E clam down."

"Ugh! I don't want to go through with this bet anymore."

Valerie walks up confused "What bet?"

"Hey Val it's-it's nothing really just a crazy joke Ethan was talking about.." I stuttered nervously.

*Ding!*

We all check our phones. It wasn't mine or Ethan's.

"Who is it?" I ask with curiosity.

I look at her red face that is now flowing with tears.

"What's wrong? Valerie is everything okay?!" I started to panic I didn't want her sad.
