*MICHAEL POV*

~next morning~

I was getting ready for school and I was thinking about Grace. She is so pretty. I was thinking about her beautiful smile when my mom called me down for breakfast.

Apparently I was zoning out, staring into space because my mom was yelling 'snap out of it' and clapping in my face.

"What are you thinking about??" my mom asked.

"No one." I replied

"Oooo I didn't ask who. So who is it? a girl?"

"Umm... No." I said unsurely.

"Yeah okay. Get out of here lover boy. You'll be late for school."

"Mooom!"

"Tell me about her later. Bye sweetie!"

I caught up to Grace when I saw her walking to the bus stop. She was walking alone, because Hayes wasn't coming today because he had a mandatory MAGCON meeting. This is the perfect time to tell her how I feel.

"Hey Grace, wait up!" I called

"Oh hey Michael." she said. I noticed her blush.

"So uh, I gotta tell you something Grace."

"What is it?" she asked impatiently.

"I-I uh... um, ilikeyou." I blurted.

"Really?" her eyes lit up a little.

*GRACE POV*

"I-I uh... um, ilikeyou." Michael blurted out.

"Really?"

"I like, your smile, your personality, everything about you. I like you Grace. And I need to know if you have feelings as strong as I do." He said. I cannot believe he just said that.

"Yes." Is all I think to say.

"Y-yes?"

"Yes. I like you too Michael. I really do." I said. All he did was smile. Smile, then grab my hand. Aww! we walked hand in hand to the bus that just pulled up.

"So, what are we?" Michael asked as he sat down next to me.

"Well, I don't know. That's up to you"

"Okay then. Grace Benson, would you be my girlfriend?" he asked nervously, looking straight into my eyes.

"Of course." I replied. We heard a bunch of 'Awwws' and 'so cuutee' I looked around and Natalie, Sammy, and some of my other friends who were staring at us. I felt myself blush.

"Awwws she's blushing!" Sammy yelled.

"Shut up Sammy." I joked.

*NATALIE POV*

Don't get me wrong. I'm so happy for Grace because I know she really likes Michael. But, the other day Hayes told me he has some feelings for Grace. He has only told me because he doesn't trust his guy friends, and he said I'm his best... friend that's a girl and that he can trust me.

I know I can't tell Grace because she will be confused, and won't know what to do. So I decided to not tell anyone, not even Sammy.

I know Hayes is kinda known to be a player, but he has told me about his crushes before. Usually he likes them because they are 'hot' or a 'good kisser' but I know that's not why he likes Grace.

It's different this time. I see the way he looks at her. He has never looked at any girl like that.

I've always been on Hayes's side. Honestly, I've never liked Michael. Not in like a crush way though. I mean I've always had a bad feeling about him and I just don't want Grace getting hurt. But, maybe I'll be wrong about him.

*GRACE POV*

~last day of school~

All throughout this week, Michael has been putting notes in my locker, and he brought me flowers this morning, the last day. FINALLY SCHOOL'S ALMOST OVER!!

He came to my locker and snuck up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Morning beautiful." he whispered.

"Aw you got me flowers? That's so sweet!" I noticed there was a tiny card in the flowers. I opened it and it read,

Grace,
I know we've only been dating for 5 days, but I feel like we've been together for months. I can't wait to see you this summer. Bye beautiful.

-Michael (your bae)

"Aw Michael! Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." he said as he kissed my cheek. He blushed and I'm pretty sure I did too.

"No PDA in the halls!" Mrs. Prevost, the meanest teacher EVER yelled at us.

"Screw you." Michael whispered. I mean, it's the last day of school and I'm never coming back to this place.

Almost every girl in the grade was violating the dress code in so many ways. Like, what is the staff gonna do?

I was wearing natural waist short shorts, with a white and pink crop top. Along with my red vans and my hair in a messy donut bun.

~end of school day~

We got on our bus and just stood and 'danced' the whole time. When we pulled out of the bus loop, all the 8th graders screamed out the windows, "FUCK YOU DAVIDSON DAY" And met me say, it felt pretty good. Besides the friends, I hated that school.

"It's finally summaaaaaa!!" we all yelled. thank the lord.
