The New Boy ~G.D~

Chapter Six

"No, I don't mean it like that" you laugh.

"I know. What were you thinking?" He asks.

You look down at the sink and mumble.

"Nothing"

———

"Go slow please" you tell him.

"This is my first time in a long time" he smiles at you.

"Don't worry, I'll go easy" he laughs.

You stare at the open math books in front of you with an uneasy stomach.

You didn't know why it made you so upset when you had to study, you just hated it and stopped.

"It's not that hard you just have to concentrate" he says.

"Ugh, it's already hurting my brain" you complain.

"Oh c'mon. It's not that hard!"

"For me it is! I haven't done this in forever and I hate it"

"Well you want me to help you don't you?" He asks.  You nod your head slowly.

"Then you have to help me help you"

"Oh my god, you're like Alyssa," you smack your forehead, "and it sounded like that stupid Logan Paul song."

You scrunch your face in disgust and roll your eyes.

"Why do you roll your eyes so much, damn"

"Because, I like it"

He laughs and continues his work.

"Okay. It's simple. Three times x is?" He asks, waiting for you to finish.

"Three x" you mumble.

"Yay! This is seventh grade stuff I don't know how you think this is hard"

"Well there's more to the problem" you state.

"Yeah, And we're going to get through it together"

———

By then you had finished a whole packet of missing assignments. You feel proud of yourself but also tired.

"Is this what nerds do all day?" You say sarcastically, but yet you still wondered if it was the truth.

"I don't know. Ask one" he says.

"Can't. Last time I asked for my home work to be done, he fainted" you giggle.

Your phone starts ringing and you look over to see who it was.

'Hoeeee 😍💯' it reads.

"Who's that?" He asks

"Alyssa" you smirk.

He laughs and you pick up the phone, putting it on speaker.

"Hello?" You call.

"Y/n where the hell are you?!"

"My house"

"Where's Grayson?"

"He died" sarcasm laced your voice once again.

"No bitch, he's with me" you clarify.

"I knew it. You better have fun with-" you click the speaker button again, making it go back to normal as you press the phone against your ear and walk into the hall.

"Watch what you're fucking saying Alyssa. He could've heard you!"

"Well that's good. He needs to know"

"Know what? That I like him?!"

"Text me" you end the conversation and hang up, walking back into your room.

"Sorry. She started babbling about... girl stuff" you try to cover up. He smiles and accepts.

———

You had Grayson drive you back to school to get your car home. Your parents would be back any time and your dad couldn't see you home without your car.

He would get suspicious.

"Do you want to come to my house again?" You ask.

He gives you a smile and nods as he follows your car back to your home.

                                      Messages:
Alyssa: what's going on dude?
You: I can't tell him I like him
Alyssa: why the hell not? He probably already knows.
You: good for him if he does! But I can't tell him. I've never had a crush before and now I'm scared he won't like me back.
Alyssa: he does
You: how do you know?
Alyssa: the way he looks at you
You: so?
Alyssa: and the way he talks to you
You: ok? And
Alyssa: there's so much you don't know y/n

After reading that message, you turn off your phone and set it aside. You lay back on your bed and Grayson walks in.

"Bad time?" He asks.

"No. Why?"

"You seem kind of down"

"No, just confused" you bit down on your nail.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah" you smile, trying to remember when anyone besides Alyssa or your mother asking you that question, but couldn't.

"Thanks" you smile again.

"Not a problem"
