BRIGHT

Chapter 3- Greyson POV- A Spark

I ate lunch with my huge group of friends. Everyone was pumped for Friday's game. My friend and co-captain, Matt Damon, sat next to me. For some reason, I couldn't get the girl I met in Calc off my mind. She was so nice and also, like really pretty.

"Greyson," Matt snapped. I blinked, awake from a daze. "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I just met someone today. I can't get her off my mind," I said. Everyone stopped their conversations. I often heard that girls liked me, but I had only had one girlfriend. I broke up with her in the middle of freshman year. All the guys knew I wasn't that into dating, so hearing this was big for them.

"Did you say, her?" Matt asked. I nodded. All the guys went nuts.

"Who is she?" my friend, Josh, asked.

"Well, she's in my Calc class. She's new to our school. We sit next to each other. I mean, I just don't know. She's like super pretty, smart, and caring. There's just something about her," I rambled.

"Wait, is she in this lunch?" Matt asked. I looked around and spotted Peyton's blonde hair. She was sitting with a bunch of my friend's girlfriends, who were cheerleaders.

"Yeah. Don't look now. She's sitting with the cheerleaders. Her hair is bright blonde, she has tan skin, and dark blue eyes," I said. Of course, every guy looked right away.

"Whoa," Josh said. "She's so hot!"

"I know," I said.

"I can't believe it, Grey, you may have finally found a girl you like," another friend of mine, Drew, teased.

"Well, she may not even like me back," I said.

"Oh my god Grey, every girl at the school wants to go out with you," another friend of mine, Cameron, said.

"Maybe, but I don't know. She doesn't know me yet, so I do not know what she will say" I said.

"Come on, you got this," Sawyer exclaimed, who was another good friend of mine.

"Well, I have a plan. There is this Calc quiz tomorrow. I won't study at all, but text her with questions. She offered to help me, so without studying, I obviously won't do well. Then I can get her to tutor me and then Boom! I have an excuse to get together with her. Then, she's my girl," I explained. All the guys applauded jokingly and I gave a comical bow. We all laughed.

"If you have her by the end of this week, this Friday, Sawyer, Drew, Cameron and I are taking our girlfriends to the movies, you should invite her," Matt offered.

"I don't know if I'm that smooth, but thanks. I will keep it in mind," I responded.

"Greyson, you got this. I totally think you could ask her out by the end of this week," Drew said. Everyone nodded, agreeing with Drew's words.

"I'll try my best," I replied. We all laughed again. I couldn't believe I had finally found someone I liked, and so quickly. She was just, perfect. I knew this had happened fast, so I had to put my plan in place to ensure she was the one for me. Peyton Emerson, I was comin' for her.
