Elenas POV

The rest of the school day was super boring and long. I have no other classes with the twins except first period with Grayson. That sucked though, I really wanted to be in a class with Ethan. I haven't really got to meet Ethan that well. I can already tell me and Grayson are going to be best friends. He is so open and funny. Ethan is still a mystery to me, maybe I can get to know him better soon.

I was at my locker putting my stuff away. Everyone had already left and the halls were empty. I was taking my time because I was walking home tonight, like usual.

I threw my back pack over my shoulder and slammed my locker shut. I was about to turn around when two hands grabbed onto my waist and spun me around. I screamed but a loud laugh soon filled the halls, going over the sound of my screams. I got set down and the hands lifted off my waist. I turned around to see Grayson standing there laughing historically. I try to act mad but I can't.

I reach out and punch him in the arm playfully, "Ow! Don't do that big meanie," he pouts while rubbing the spot on his arm. "Get over it," I roll my eyes playfully.

"Hey guys!" Me and Grayson both turn to see Ethan standing there, a big smile on his face. "Hey, what's with the big smile?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Just happy school is finally over," he emphasized 'finally.' I nod my head in agreement, honestly I hated school and would give anything to just leave this hell hole forever. "Hey Elena?" Ethan looked at me. "Yeah?" "Do you wanna come to me and Grays house?" He asked. "Um, sure. My mom is working the late shift tonight so she won't mind." I smile. "Great, lets get going then," he put his hands in his pockets and started walking.

We walked in silence out the school doors. We were about halfway to the twins house when Grayson stopped me. I gave him a confused look as he crouched down, "piggy back ride?" He asked with a goofy smile plastered across his face. I giggle and get on his back, wrapping my legs and arms around him as stands up. He starts running to the house and I can't control myself. I keep laughing until there were tears forming in my eyes. Grayson is definitely going to be my best friend forever.

Ethans POV

I watch them with my jaw clenched. I can't help but get jealous. It's like Grayson is purposely trying to make me mad.

I fiddled with the lock until it turned. I opened the door and walked in, Grayson and Elena following behind me. Elena hopped off Grays back and took off her shoes. "Want anything to drink?" I ask while scratching the back of my neck. Elena looks at me, "no I'm good, but thanks." She smiles. I just nod. I walk to the living room and plop down on the couch turning on some Netflix. I motion them to join me and they do. Grayson sits next to me and Elena sits in a separate chair.

"I'll be right back," I quickly get up and run to the bathroom. I had gym as My last period and smell like major body order, so I think now would be a good time to take a nice hot shower. I close the door behind me, strip down, and get in.

Grayson's POV

I hear the shower upstairs and figure Ethan is taking a shower. "Why don't you come sit next to me Elena? That chair isn't too comfortable anyways." I suggest. "Oh, okay," she shrugs. I smirk as she gets up and sits down pretty close to me. I wrap my arm around her shoulder, "Uh, Gray? What are you doing?" She furrows her eyebrows while she looks at me. "Oh, uh, s-sorry," I stutter as I look down and take my arm off her. "It's okay," she assures.

"Has anyone told you hoe beautiful you are?" I look her in the eyes. She looks down while blushing, I see a small smile on her face. I put my finger under her chin and turn her head so that she's looking at me again. "Your cute when you blush," I smirk. She smiles and shakes her head while looking down. I cup her cheeks with my hands and tilt her head up towards me again, "I'm serious Elena, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." My face has a serious expression. She stays silent. I move in closer, and so does she. Our faces are only inches apart until our lips connect. It was full of passion. I pull her in closer but she pulls away.

"I-I'm sorry Grayson, I-I have to go." She quickly gets up and grabs her stuff. "No Elena wait! I'm sorry I didn't mean-" I stand up to walk over to her but she closed the door before I couldn't finish talking. "FUCK." I yell out. I angrily pull at the ends of my hair. I pace around the room until I finally sit down and put my head in my hands. Wtf did I just do?

"Where's Elena?" I look up to see Ethan standing there, his hair was wet and he had on new clothes.

"She left."
