Chapter Three

Grace's POV

"We're getting engaged!" Casey flashes me a shiny diamond ring.

I look between her and James

"This is a joke." I say flatly.

"I know this is all really sudden-" James says.

"It's been two months! You know she's only marrying you for money, right?"

"Gracelyn, please." Casey says.

I laugh out loud.

"No, this is ridiculous. I can't believe you, Casey. I thought you had standards."

I grab my car keys off the table and walk outside.

Devin calls me.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey, babe. Whats going on?"

"I'm coming over. Casey just pissed me off."

"Come to the field. I just got out of practice."

"Okay." I hang up and make my way to the lacrosse field.

"So, they're seriously getting married?" He asks.

"All because Casey is too lazy to work. I cannot believe her. She knows James cheats on her too. It doesn't make any sense."

He pulls me closer to him, and I try to nuzzle my head into his shoulder. Its uncomfortable, and it doesn't fit like it used to.

I decide to ignore it.

"I'm glad we're close again." Devin kisses the top of my head.

"Me too."

"So, what should we do today?"

Matt's POV

"So, have you talked to Grace lately?" Carter asks.

I flop down on his bed.

"I did about a week ago. She keeps saying she's gonna call me, but she doesn't. I don't wanna bother her."

"Call her or this summer will repeat itself. See if she wants to come to L.A." He says.

"Nah. She's gonna bring her boyfriend."

"So? Maybe if she sees how much of an asshole he is to you, she'll break up with him." Nash says.

"That's really smart. I'll call her."

"Hello?" She answers sweetly.

"Hey, Gracie. What's up?"

"Just talking with Devin. What's up with you?"

"Well, I'm in L.A. for a week, and I was wondering if you guys wanted to fly out. I have two plane tickets I can get to you by tomorrow."

"Oh my God, that sounds awesome! Who are you with?" She asks.

I smile.

"Nash, Cam, Carter, Hayes, Aaron, Sam, and Mahogany. At my place."

"Yes! Yes! Let me ask."

I hear her mumbling.

"With Matthew? Why?" Devin asks.

I groan.

"Because I haven't seen him in a while. The trip is free, and you don't have another camp until July. Please, please, please?" She begs.

Devin says something under his breath.
