FRIDAY
[ ALLISON'S POV ]

"Hey!" I smiled widely walking into the cafe where Taylor, Grayson and Jeff were sitting in a booth waiting for me.

"Hey Allison." Grayson sent me a smile scooting over for me to sit down.

I sat down putting my hands in my lap. "How have your mornings been?"

Taylor narrowed her eyebrows with a smirk on her face, "good..." a light laugh left her mouth.

"Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy?" I laughed looking at all of them and they all had the same expression on their faces.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" Jeff's cheekbones became more defined as he smiled.

" I did a lot of thinking last night," I looked down to the table keeping a light grin on my face. My chest let out a huff of air, "I'm not gonna let it hurt me anymore."

"Ethan?" Grayson raised his eyebrow.

I nodded, "If he's not gonna hear me out and let me explain myself, then I just need to stop trying." My voice stayed positive.

Jeff and Grayson looked at each other.

"Well good. He doesn't deserve your precious little heart." Taylor grinned at me while taking a sip out of her straw.

My heart pounded at her positive words towards me. It feels good to get compliments.

My eyes turned to Grayson and Jeff noticing their silence.

"What?" I questioned.

"Allison.." Jeff started but Grayson cut him off,
"I told him, Allison."

My face dropped due to my confusion, "told him what?" I looked back and forth between them two.

Grayson let out a sigh, "I explained to him everything that happened. That you didn't cheat on him. He knows you didn't."

My eyes stared blankly down at the table as if I were zoned out.

"I'm sorry, Allison. I just hated seeing you in so much pain. You out of all people don't deserve that." He tried to explain.

"He knows and he's still acting the same." I mumbled to myself. I nodded my head while biting into my bottom lip.

"Are you okay?" Jeff asked concerned.

I took a deep breath in, "i won't let it bother me. I'm okay." I let go of the feeling of sadness that was inside of me.

"You sure?" Taylor asked to clarify.

I nodded my head, "positive."

"Good." Grayson laughed lightly which lightened the tense mood in the air.

"How would you guys feel about going to a party tonight?" I raised my eyebrow while smirking at them.

Grayson chuckled, "not Masons."

At first I was confused, then I remembered the sticky note Taylor left for me at the dorm.

"Oh shit, what did you guys do?" My jaw was barley dropped.

"Masons fine." Taylor sipped on her straw. "His friends on the other hand..."

"Grayson punched the shit out of them basically." Jeff cut the story short.

My jaw dropped turning to Grayson in complete shock, "seniors?" I raised my eyebrow.

"You don't touch a girl." He shrugged letting out a laugh.
