Grant pulled me up and sat me back on my feet, but didn't let go of my hand. Instead he smirked and took off running again, pulling me along with him. We went out the back door to find Cody in his car waiting for us to pile in. Carly and Madison were sitting in the passenger seat, Lauren was sitting behind them in the backseat with Lola in her lap. Brandy squeezed in the middle, then Grant and I jumped in beside her. I went to sit on Brandy's lap but she pushed me back off with a smirk.

"Are you serious right now?" I yelled at her and her smirk widened. Grant then grabbed me by the waist and sat me down on his lap, yelling at Cody to hit the gas. I looked back over at Brandy, my eyes narrowed, and she shrugged her shoulders innocently.

But I knew exactly what she was trying to do.

I glanced back at Grant and he smiled, making my cheeks go red.

"Why don't we go to the park?" Lola suggested.

"Yeah, please. I really don't want to go back to the stupid tour bus again." Lauren whined dramatically. Cody looked back at Brandy through the mirror as if asking for permission, to which she nodded in response. He then made a quick left before driving down a totally different street. We took a few more turns before reaching a small park. It had the essentials, a swing set with four swings, monkey bars, a slide and a few benches, but the main thing that caught my attention was the pond. Cody parked the car in the designated parking area and we all fell out of the car, literally. Carly, Madison, Lauren, Brandy, and Cody all raced each other to the swings, but Lola took the monkey bars. Grant and I walked at a slower pace to where they all went.

"So, sorry I left so late last night. I didn't mean to wake you up." He suddenly said making me jump out of my skin.

"What? Oh! No, you didn't wake me up. I was already awake-ish." I told him and he smiled one of his actual smiles, not a smirk. It was actually really nice when he smiled. I mean he was really hot. He had on a navy blue shirt that showed his muscles, a pair of bluejeans, and his black converse. His brown hair was sticking up in every direction and his brown eyes were practically shining, as always. I'm sure I looked like absolute crap in my skinny jeans, white converse, and purple shirt, my hair flying in its usual waviness. That's a word, right? I looked over at Grant again to find him looking back at me with a small but sad looking smile. It was then that I realized I still knew nothing about him. I was about to ask him to tell me more about himself, but I was interrupted by a screaming Brandy who was running towards me, Cody running after her.

"Ali, you've got to help me! I don't know what's wrong with him!" She yelled as she hid behind me, which must've been really hard since I'm much shorter than her.

"There's something wrong with me?" Cody asked her, his expression full of amusement. "You sure it's not you? I mean, you're the one who tackled me because I beat you to the last swing!" He laughed as Brandy stuck her tongue out at him. She then grabbed my hand and dragged me to the swings with her. I looked back at Grant with an apologetic expression to which he just winked before starting a conversation with Cody.
