Seventh grade has finally ended, so the moms are hosting a pool party at the county club.

Since my only friend is Grayson because I'm super shy, I just sit on the side of the pool, watching everyone.

Grayson talks with his basketball friends on one end. The unliked and weird people talk on the other side. The popular girls float in the middle, giggling about Grayson.

Those bitches better back off.

I stare down at my hands, scratching at my green nail polish.

"Hey baby." I hear from beside me.

I look over and smile as I see Grayson sitting there, placing his hand on mine.

"I'm still not used to you calling me that." Gray and I had just declared our love for each other and became a 'thing'. The only thing I'm known for now is dating Grayson.

"Well, get used to it, because I'll be calling you that until the day I die." He kisses my cheek, making me giggle a bit.

I see the popular girls' eyes on me. They don't like me very much. One, I'm not beautiful and I dress modestly. Two, I 'stole' Grayson from them.

"Just ignore them," Gray whispers.

"Seventh grade girls are mean."

"I hate when they talk trash about you."

"Me too."

He wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. "You look so good in that bikini."

"Grayson! You shouldn't say that, we're only 13!"

"Just saying."

I roll my eyes and kiss his cheek. He chuckles and then, like the gentleman he is, pushes me into the water.

I swim to the surface and grab his legs, pulling him in, too. "Jerk!" I yell.

I look at his bowlcut, starting to laugh at how he looks like he has long hair to the water sticking it down. He smirks and smoothes his hair up.

"Now that's a hot look." I say.

"I know, right?" He smiles then smoothes it back down.

Ember, the 'leader' of the populars, swims over to us. Oh, goody.

"Hey Gray." She says, smiling at him with that dumb, perfect smile. She gives me a disgusted look. "Hey, Jacqueline."

"Hey Em." Grayson says. I give a small smile as a hello.

"Gray," Gosh, it drives me up a wall when she calls him Gray. "Are you coming to my birthday party next week? It's at the movies and I was thinking we could sit next to each other."

"Yeah, but, is Jackie invited?"

"Not in a million years." Ember says. "I am sorry, but your girlfriend isn't popular, Grayson."

"Then I'm not going." He says, putting a smile on my face.

She groans. "Fine. Jackie, the party is at 7:30 PM next Wednesday."

"Awesome. I'll be there."

"Great."

Next Wednesday

I hold Grayson's hand as we walk into the theater. Ember runs up to us.

"Hey Gray!" I'm about to punch her already. "I'm so glad you could make it."

"Glad I could come. What movie are we watching?"

"Trick or Treat. It's a horror."

My eyes widen a bit and I cling onto Grayson. I hate horror movies.

"Oh," Ember says. "Will it be too scary for you? I can get my mom to take your little ass home."

"No," I straighten up. "I'm fucking fine, bitch."

She's taken aback, since I'm the 'goody two shoes' as well. I never cuss. But that girl just pisses me off.

"Well, I saved a seat for us." She leads us over to the front row and gasps. Two open seats are visible, but the others hold some kids. "Oh my!"

"That's fine. I'll sit in the back. More comfy, anyway." I say.

"What? No," Grayson says.

"It's fine, I don't care."

"Cool!" Ember sits down, pulling Grayson into the seat next to her. She immediately starts talking his ear off as I start walking to the back row.

I sit down and prop my feet up on the chair in front of mine. At every scary part, I hide my face into my knees and hear Ember's scream.

I look up during one scare, and that little whore is clinging onto my man.

What a bitch.
