Pierce Grayson's POV
So maybe, just maybe, I had a thing for Cecelia. A mere possibility, a speculation if you will. Then she went to talk to that loser kid who I swear I haven't seen since semester. The worst part was the dude had bulked up. He stood a chance to become something other than the back of the class silent kid with no titles besides his locker number. I hated him.
Time lapse to after school
I watched him saunter out of the school. He had to shove his way through crowds of people who didn't seem to bother noticing his existence. The next thing I did was admittedly stupid, but I did it anyway.
"Hey, Jackson!" I shoved his shoulder around so he was facing me. His face turned to where my hand was still aggressively placed on his shoulder. Eyebrows crunched together and his mouth slightly parted, he looked like he just noticed a fly on his shoulder and he was trying to feel sorry for it before he crushed it.
Surprisingly, it wasn't until he lifted his gaze to mine that I knew I was in deep shit. Something about the set of his jaw or the darkness in his eyes. This wasn't the lanky idiot who left last winter. I removed my hand from his shoulder.
"What," he replied. No turning back, I can NOT wimp out.
"Hope you weren't expecting a grand welcome back, loser." Shit. He lifted an eyebrow in subtle amusement.
"That's all? You just came to talk to me about what, practicing lame insults? Man, you need a life." He chuckled and started to walk away.
"Who do you think you are?!" He kept walking and I started to briskly walk after him. "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
"I noticed. I wish you would stop actually." I reached out and pushed him against the side of the school. Or at least, that was my plan. He apparently saw it coming and grabbed my wrist. Throwing it out of the way before I could register what was happening.
"Just leave me alone dipwat," he sighed. I watched him get in a beaten up Prius and drive away. I was going to get him back for that.
