An Old Friend Hayes Grier

Chapter 2

******Delaney's POV******

Its almost the end of the school year and i just want it to end. I only have 2 weeks left. I HATE SCHOOL WITH A BURNING PASSION! I absolutely hate school. but not because of the teachers or classes but mainly because Hayes Grier is in every single one of my classes. I know you're probably like how can that be a bad thing well because my number one bully is Hayes. I don't even know why he bullies me. We were best friends since kindergarten. Our kindergarten teachers had us assigned desk partners and mine was Hayes and that's how it all started. He didn't get popular until 7th grade though. Around the time Nash, his brother, got popular with the app vine.

Hayes used to hang out me everyday until 7th. Just about all 365 days a year. Every year. Buts its not like I'm not popular but I'm not like the cheerleader or anything. I'm popular and known for how nice and sweet i am. At the end of the year, we vote for school awards and i always get nice and sometimes pretty but i don't consider myself pretty. Maybe that's why Hayes bully me because he doesn't want to be seen with me. But i just don't understand why. He was always with me in 1-6 grade and now you know hes bullying me.

In 6th grade, Hayes did ask me out and i said no. I really wanted to say yes because i did like him and i still to this day i don't know why i said no. I guess i just never thought he would ask me out. But I think that's why he bullies me but still i want things to go back to the way they were.

I still text Nash because hes like my brother. If I'm ever sad, he will take me to ColdStone to get ice cream. I hang out with him on the weekends but we never hang out at his house because of Hayes. Nash knows that me and Hayes drifting away but he doesn't know that he bullies me. In fact we are going to hang out this weekend but i don't know where so i'll text him.

*****Text Convo*****

Me- So where are we going this weekend?

Nash- Some where special

Me- Do i have to dress up?

Nash- Nah but i have a question

Me- What?

Nash- Can Hayes come? i know you guys don't hang out anymore but that's why i want him to come. You guys have to be best friends again.

Me- He can come but i don't know about the whole "best friends" thing

Nash- Be ready by 3:00 pm tomorrow ok?

Me- ok

So today is Friday and i was texting him on my way home. I'm about to facetime my best friend in the entire world Camryn! I love her so much!! She knows i don't like Hayes and how he bullies me but she doesn't know about tomorrow.

**Hayes POV**

" Hayes come up here for a second." Nash called

"Ok" i wonder what this is about

" We are going to hang out with Delaney tomorrow." Nash said

I was shocked. I haven't seen her since last year. Why would she want to hang out with me. She probably hates my guts.

"We?" I asked

" Yes we. and you're not getting out of this one. I don't care what you re doing tomorrow. It can wait." Nash said

Well i wasn't doing anything tomorrow so that didn't matter but i had to know why she wanted to hang with me and not just Nash. I mean they practically hang out every weekend. "Ok but why does she want to hang out with me." I asked.

"She doesn't. But i want you two to be friends again and we have to start somewhere." Nash answered.

" Nash i have to tell you why she doesn't like me...... I bully her at school everyday." I blurted out expecting that Nash was going to yell at me.

" I CANT BELIEVE YOU! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? YOU USED BE IN LOVE WITH HER WHAT HAPPENED?" Nash screamed. Yep i know that would happen.

" Because I asked her out last year and she turned me down. I thought she like me back but apparently not. I know what i did was wrong but I promise to apologize to her tomorrow and stop the bullying."

**Nash POV**

" Because I asked her out last year and she turned me down. I thought she like me back but apparently not. I know what i did was wrong but I promise to apologize to her tomorrow and stop the bullying." Hayes spit out

I knew he asked her out. I wanted to tell him that Delaney did want to say yes but she said no out of surprise. I wish she would have explained why she said no and then they would be dating and they would be so cute i can see it.

"Nash? Are you still there?" Hayes said

" Yeah sorry but i have to you Delaney was going to say yes but i guess you caught her off guard and she said say no. She told me the weekend after it happened but i didn't know if you should have heard it then... I thought she would have explained it to you but i guess she didn't."

Hayes's face lit up like a light bulb and he said " Nash, you have to help me get her back. Please no one made me feel the same way as she did. I thought she hated my guts for the past year. I will do whatever she wants and since you guys always talk. Nash you don't know how many nights I've cried myself to sleep."

I was astonished. Hayes never cries about anything and hes been kicked in the balls once and still didn't shed a tear.

"Bro, I had no idea" I don't know what else to say. Don't worry. I'll help you get her back"

Hayes looked up with excitement "Really?" He asked.

I nodded my head and i told him no more bullying and he politely agreed. Well that's enough arguing in one night. I'm kinda excited to play matchmaker with Hayes and Delaney. I've been team #Delayes (their ship name) for years. I don't know if Delaney is excited but we'll find out tomorrow. "YESSS" I hear Hayes yell from his room. I didn't know Delaney meant this much to him. Well i need sleep.
