MY BESTFRIEND?

Chapter 1

Eliyah's POV

The blaring of my alarm disturbed me from my amazing sleep. I groaned before climbing out of bed and making my way across the hall to the bathroom, looking in the mirror I splashed my face with some water, then brushed my teeth, I hated that way your breath was when you first wake up. Once I'd washed I turned the shower on allowing it to warm up, ten minutes later I was in my room with a towel secured around my waist. I wandered over to my wardrobe, it was stupidly large, like ridiculously. My mother was a big shot lawyer and my dad was a senior surgeon at the general hospital, so I guess you could say that we were quite well off money wise, so I never got to see them because my mum is always at her office or in a courtroom and my dad was always in a theatre or at the hospital. They felt bad about never being around so they bought me everything that they thought would make it up to me, but I honestly wasn't bothered because I knew they were just doing their jobs. But I didn't need these big expensive things, I'd just been standing in front of my mirror staring off into oblivion because the next thing I heard was a wolf whistle from behind me, I jumped and spun around to find my best friend Grayson leaning against the door frame to my room. "I mean I know you're hot and all but staring at yourself is a little self centred" I laughed at his comment, Me and Gray had been best friends since we were young, our parents were friends so we'd always been around each other. I quickly shuffled into my jeans and black t-shirt. The shirt was quite tight fitting, showing off my muscles. "Bro, you do know that there are gonna be girls staring at you all day" I chuckled . "Why do you think I'm wearing this?" he chuckled back, removing his jacket showing his nearly identical ensemble. His body was a lot more defined than mine, like I'm not joking he was huge. "This is why we're best friends". He came over to the mirror standing next to me, taking his phone from his back pocket and opening up snapchat, we both flexed and made pulled a face, we were both pulling half smirks looking at the camera screen... honestly... we looked hot. Once we'd finished our routine of the photos and such we made our way into my kitchen. "You hungry?" Gray nodded, "when aren't I hungry?" Laughing I set about making eggs and bacon, Gray always had his eggs scrambled and I couldn't be bothered to make another kind so I scrambled mine too, I placed a plate off steaming food in front of Grayson and I placed mine opposite him. 25 minutes later we were both full and ready to leave, luckily for me I can drive, this is why Grayson just rocks up at mine in the mornings, so I can give him a lift because he hates buses. One thing that my parents did buy me and it has become my prized possession is my Range Rover, it might seem rather girly but these cars are sexy, it's matt black all over including the rims. I pull out of the driveway and began the 20 minute drive too school. Gray started to mess with the AUX cord and a few moments later his favourite song began blaring from my speakers. We began singing along and before we knew it I was pulling into the school grounds and parking. Making our way across the car park was a blur of other students greeting us or girls winking or blushing as we passed... it's quite ridiculous but I love it, most of the girls at school practically throw themselves at me and Gray. Like today for example we have the cheerleaders all in a little circle looking over at us and giggling, winking and waving at us, the leader and head bitch Lucy stood among them. She was literally the biggest bitch I have ever met, she's obsessed with Gray so I, thankfully, usually get away from her. She was staring him down like a dog does a piece of meat, his face was the definition of disgusted, making sure to keep his eyes facing forward. After passing the wicked witch of the west we walked our way over to our spot, where I noticed all of our friends were all ready there, these guys aren't your typical meathead jocks, they actually care about other things besides football, we all belong to at least anther club around the school, we don't bully or judge kids, well my friends don't anyways; there's still the odd few who think that they're gods gift or what not but we pay no mind to them, they all seemed to think that we all liked them, we just let them think it as it made practice much easier, no awkwardness. After chatting with the guys for a few minutes the bell rang signalling the five minutes we had to get to our classes, me and Gray had the same schedule which was amazing. We had science first period, science was my strongest subject where Grayson struggled so every Saturday, we spent an hour going over everything that had confused him throughout the week and he did the same with me for maths. Five long hours later, football practice began, once coach arrived everyone was already warmed up and ready to begin, he called our captain; who just so happened to be Gray, up to the front he was told to pick another player. He chose me to the surprise of nobody. "Okay Grayson you're captain of skins and Eliyah you're captain of shirts" everyone started chatting amongst themselves while me and Gray turned to one another smirks evident on both our faces. We were competitive as it was but when I was against each other we became really bad, both of us wanting to beat the other. Its the way we had always been. Once coach had sorted out our teams and who was playing which role we made our way to the pitch. Once everyone was ready Grayson and his team lifted their shirt over their heads and threw them to one side, we could hear the excited chatter of the girls who had decided to come and watch practice and then from the cheerleaders who also had ceased theirs and made their way across the field to sit in on our practice. Rolling our eyes and laughing me and Gray walked into the middle of the pitch where coach was waiting. "Okay boys you know the rules" we shook hands then went back over to our teams, after a quick huddle we all took our places. After the first 15 minutes the score was 2-1 to Gray, which had to be changed. I pushed my team to work harder to get the scores back even, eventually after another 20 minutes we had finally evened the scores out to 2-2. I had the ball, making m way down the field and headed towards the goal. I heard the shrills of the girls on the side lines getting louder meaning only one of two things: either they were happy I was about to score or Gray was on my tail. After I heard the pounding of feet (and one of the girls screaming Gray's name) I knew it was the latter. I pushed my legs to move faster, when I was in the box I put all my power into my right leg and swung. The ball went flying towards the goal and time stopped, the ball skimmed the goalies fingertips before slamming into the back of the net. I screamed and turned around just in time to come face to face with a broad chest, tilting my head up a little I saw a salty looking Gray. Not 20 seconds after I had sunk that goal the coach blew his whistle to indicate the practice game was over with my team winning 3-2. I had a massive smile on my face while Gray looked like he wanted to slap me, I just laughed and ran to the coach. He clapped my hand then told us to begin our cool down, we never went over anything on the field, all feedback was left to the changing room. Once all the lads were showered, dressed and sat in the changing room coach came out of his office and began to tell us how we had done. He usually came up with a few pointers for each player to work on. Since Grayson was the captain he was always saved till last, coaches criticisms for him made us all laugh "just run faster". Its funny because Grayson is massive so it slows him down, once we were all let go for the day. We made our way over the vacant carpark towards my baby before we could reach it however we both heard a shrill "GRAY!" which had him freezing and me chuckling. "Unlock the fucking car" was all he said before sprinting the rest of the way to my passenger side and practically diving into the seat, I however got in with much more grace before I sped out of the gates leaving a frustrated Lucy glaring at my retreating car.
