As we pull up to the hot tubing place that we were meeting the boys at Ellie called Ethan to come let us in.

As soon as we get into the gate I see Grayson.

My heart instantly starting beating 10x faster than normal.

We walk over to the boys to say hi. Luckily I was actually good friends with all the boys, well of course accept for Grayson. Which made this a lot less awkward. Grayson and two other boys were in the pool passing a ball back and forth.

"Get in!" Ethan waved

1...2....3!!!

We all screamed jumping into the cold water.

As soon as my body hit the shocking water I swam to the top.

"Omg it's so cold!" I laughed.

We all swam around doing the usual. Just having fun and messing around.

Grayson still hasn't even looked at me.

"What is his deal?" Avery asks pointing to Grayson.

I shrug my shoulders not knowing what to say.

Maybe he really doesn't remember?

Maybe I should play it cool so that it doesn't seem weird.

A few minutes go by and we decide to go into the hot tub as we were all freezing.

I get out of the bitter cold water and make my way over to the hot tub.

As I'm getting in I can feel Grayson staring at me. We make an awkward eye contact before he goes back to ignoring me.

"There's to many damn people in this hot tub, I'm leaving. See you at home e" Grayson says standing up and leaving.

"What the hell was that all about?" Avery asks Ethan.

"Idk, he's been really weird since the party" Ethan says.

Of course everyone turns to me hinting that it's my fault he's been acting weird.

"What?" I ask annoyed at the fact he's pretending like nothing happened.

He can't even say hi to me? Or at least look at me less disgusted.

"Did he say anything to you?"

"He knows you guys hooked up. But that's all" Ethan replies also looking annoyed at his brother.

"He said it was a blur, you both were extremely drunk and he remembers carrying you down the hall" he continues to explain.

" well than I'm just gonna let it go, it's not like I like him or anything so it's whatever" I say changing the subject.

I always told myself I wasn't going to be the type to let him use me. To take advantage of me. And I was pissed that I did exactly that.

But it's true, I don't like him so I don't know why I care. Which is why I'm letting it go. It was one stupid night and now it's over. And that's all there is too it.

Flash forward 3 weeks.

6:08 am

My obnoxious alarm goes off reminding me that I needed to get up for school.

I groan rolling over to turn off the loud noise.
