scarlett:
(friday)

"kathryn!" i called, running up to her locker.

"hey scarlett." she smiled at me.

"want to hang out tonight? preferably at your place because-"

"i have plans tonight, maybe tomorrow." she interrupted me.

she looked down at her shoes, and then back up at me.

"oh, okay yeah i can do tomorrow. who are you hanging with?"

she bit her lip, almost like she was refraining from telling me.

"you uh- you wouldn't know them."

"oh, okay."

"yeah, well um- i'll see you later." she said, and hurried off somewhere else.

is she okay?

i shook off her unusual behavior, and spotted ethan and grayson by their lockers.

"hey guys." i greeted them.

"sup scarlett." ethan gave me a hug.

"you look good today." grayson said, pulling me in for a hug after ethan let go of me.

"i'm literally wearing adidas pants and a sweatshirt, but thank you." i laughed.

"so, did y'all hear that kathryn and johnson are a thing?" ethan asked.

hm, maybe she's hanging out with him tonight.

"i knew she liked him, but she didn't tell me they were talking."

"hm, that's weird." grayson said.

"i know right."

"besides that, my mom said you can stay with us for a bit."

"oh my gosh, are you serious?"

"yeah, of course."

"thank you guys so much!" i pulled them both in for a hug.

they hugged me back and laughed, and then we all let go.

"i'm gonna go to class now, see y'all party people later." ethan said, waving goodbye and running off.

"i'll walk you to class." grayson offered.

"okay, sounds good."

as we walked to my 1st period, gilinsky of course was in the hallway.

"hey g!" grayson greeted him.

"sup man." they did the 'bro' handshake thing.

"hey scarlett." he smirked at me.

"hi." i quietly spoke back.

"so, you have any plans tonight?" gilinsky asked grayson.

"yeah actually, scarlett's staying over."

gilinsky raised his eyebrows at me, "is she now?"

"yeah, you should stop by if you're not doing anything."

fuck.

"sounds really tempting, i have other plans but i can go over after."

have i ever said that i hate my life? because if i haven't... i hate my life.

"sounds good, what are your other plans?" grayson asked.

gilinsky looked at me, and then started talking.

"well, since my boy johnson and kathryn are a thing now. they're going on a date. but like, i'm going with them with another girl so it's a double date."

i felt my face stiffen up.

"you're hanging out with kathryn tonight?" i asked.

"well, yeah kinda." he responded, in a mocking tone.

he knows that kathryn is my best friend, and he knows exactly how upset i am about him hanging out with her tonight.

"oooo, who's the girl you're bringing gilinsky?" grayson laughed.

"i don't know, kathryn said she's a good friend of hers, so yeah."

who else has kathryn been hanging out with?

"cool cool. well let me know if you can come over, scarlett and i are gonna go to class."

they did they're bro shake thing again, and then gilinsky hugged me. i hesitantly hugged him back, and then he went off in the other direction.

"i hope gilinsky and the girl he's bringing hit it off." grayson said.

"what do you mean?"

"well, i think he deserves a good girl, you know what i mean?"

fuck no he does not.

"uh, yeah. i know what you mean."
