The new girl

T h r e e

My phone started to ring. I had fallen asleep in my brothers room. I looked at the black little Daniel Wellington watch on my wrist.

07.30 pm. Shit.

"Hello?"

Ethan: "hey where are you?"

"I'm so sorry! My brother had some family drama with my parents and I was trying to comfort him, then I fell asleep"

Ethan: "oh.. everything good?"

"I don't really know at the moment. My brother's sleeping."

Ethan: "do you wanna do a rain check or...?"

"No no no. Can I come over to your house?"

Ethan: "sure. I'll pick you up."

"Okay. See you in like 10?"

Ethan: "yes. See you"

I left my brothers room as quietly as I could. I ran into my room to check how I looked. I freshened up and got dressed. I walked downstairs and saw my parents on the couch with some chips and candy and stuff. A typical Saturday night. I sat down and took some candy.
"Where are you going? You look nice." My mom said. "I'm going to hang out with some people from school." I knew that my mom would ask me a ton of questions if she knew that I was going to be with a boy. I just didn't want that tonight. "Oh okay. Have fun." I heard the car and got a text from Ethan saying he was outside. I said goodbye to my mom and dad and walked out to his car and got in.
"Hey" He smiled and sounded a little nervous. "Hey. How are you?" I hugged him. "I'm good. And you?" I looked down. "Well I guess I'm good, but I'm just so worried about my brother, but let's not talk about that now." I smiled.
He backed out of the driveway and sped off to his house.

"What are we watching?" Grayson asked. We looked through Netflix for a movie to watch. They had placed out some chips, candy and soda. I guess they do the same thing on Saturday. "Hey let's watch that one." I said pointing at one of the movies. "Mean girls? Seriously?" Grayson said. "Yeah. It's funny. Don't judge" I said. "I wanna see it." Ethan sided with me and Grayson glared at him. "What? I know it's a chick-flick, but it might be funny." Grayson rolled his eyes and put on the movie.
During the movie, Grayson was the one who laughed the most. "I said you would like it." I said. "Okay fine it was a little funny." Ethan looked at him and raised his eyebrow "just a little? You laughed so hard I almost thought you were going to die of not getting enough air." I laughed and Grayson smiled. "Okay. Fine. I liked it. It was really funny." "I knew it!" I smiled in victory.
I was staring into Grayson's hazel eyes and he was staring back into mine. It was like we were in a trance and nothing was around us. I broke it off and looked at my phone. 10.30pm. "Uh I think I have to go soon."

Grayson's POV
I was staring into Alaya's blue eyes. God she's beautiful.
She suddenly looked away and look at her phone. "Uh I think I have to go soon." She seemed like she was in a rush. "Okay I'll drive you" Ethan said.
"NO! I mean... Ethan don't you have a video to edit?" I looked at him. "No... we haven't filmed anything yet." I raised my brows. "Oh right. Okay. Bye." I said and hugged Alaya. She smelled so nice. Like flowers. And she gave good hugs too.

Ethan's POV
Me and Alaya just got out to the car. "Gray acted weird back there." I said to start a conversation. "Yeah. I guess. It's cute though" Alaya chuckles.
I knows when my brother likes someone. The only problem is that I like Alaya. I really like her. She's the only one at school except Grayson I trust. I feel like we have a connection. Something I never felt before.
"Yeah I guess. Are you hungry?" I said. "Yeah. I actually am." "So McDonald's?" She smiled and nodded. "You read my mind"

Alaya's POV
We had gotten the food and had sat down to eat. "So how has your first week of school been?" He asked. "It has been okay I guess. I guess the highlight of the week was throwing that drink at Scott." We laughed a little.
Talking to him was so easy. We could talk about anything. He was the only one at school I trusted.
I couldn't stop staring at him. He was so handsome.
"So. How does the whole YouTube thing go? Many fans yet?" I asked. He smiled "I guess it's going good. We're at 500 000 subscribers now" he seemed proud. Which he should be. "That's awesome!" He looked up from his food and smiled. "You know. I've been thinking a lot about starting my own channel for a while." I started. "So what have been keeping you from doing it? You ooze of charisma." He chuckled. I smiled at him. "You really think so?" "Yeah! Of course!"
I took a sip of my soda when my phone start ringing. I looked at the screen and Sophie's name popped up. I locked my phone and putted it away. "Aren't you going to answer?" He asked. "No. It was just a friend of mine." My phone buzzed again. I looked at the screen. It was my mom this time. This time I answer. My mom would have killed me if I didn't.

"Hey"

Mom: "when are you coming home? It's getting late."

"Soon. We're just going to finish up food. I'll be home in a few."

Mom: "who's we?"

"Me and someone from school. Why?"

Mom: "a boy?"

"So what if it's a boy?"

Mom: "okay have fun!"

I hung up. "Noisy mother?" I nodded. "My mom can be like that too. But she's mostly worried. Me and Grayson don't have a lot of people from school over. You're first in a while actually." My heart kinda broke from his words. "Oh." He looked down at the table. I saw his arm resting at the table and took his hand. He looked up and I smiled at him. He smiled back and we ended up staring. This one I couldn't break away from. I wouldn't.
My phone started buzzing again. I looked at the screen. It was Soph. I locked the screen and got up. "We should get going or my mom's gonna kill me." He got up and we started walking out to the car.
He stopped me the second we got out of the restaurant and grabbed my shoulders. He looked me in the eyes. "What?" I said. He kept staring and his eyes went from my eyes to my lips and back a few times. "What?" I smiled and looked down at his lips. We got closer until we were a few inches away from each other. I wrapped my arms around his neck, went for it and our lips connected.

Authors note: sooooo that happened.
I hope you like it!
I don't know what more to write. I've been sick for the past week so my priorities have been to get better.
