Somehow, I was able to convince my parents to switch me into home schooling for the remaining three months of school. It does suck, but this is what it's come to. It is what it is.

Grayson has come over everyday after school to hangout with me. Thats all we do, really. We'll go get a late lunch and then come back to my house and watch a movie. He tells me about his day, how his classes went, how much homework he has while doing some of it, and then I do all that back. I actually like how things are now. Being at home all day has actually brought us closer together.

When we went to school together, before everything spiraled out of control, he and I would just ask each other how our days went. We wouldn't get lunch everyday or watch a movie. It was like we already spent too much time together at school, and we just wanted alone time after school on most days. Which is fine, but I like how things are now. And I can tell Grayson does too. He seems happier. He always seems happy, though.

My mom stayed home from work today, so she could talk to my teacher on the phone. They had to discuss something about a class I was taking, thats all I knew. I didn't understand why she had to stay home all day to do it, but thats what worked for her.

Grayson and Ethan were coming for dinner, with Chance. My parents are having some of my father's work partners over for dinner, so they had me invite my friends.

School for Ethan and Grayson should be out soon. It's now 2:15, and hour six gets out at 2:30. So, Grayson will be arriving at my house soon. He asked me to go to his counseling session with him. He said he wanted me to meet the man who also helped him talk. We're meeting at a cafe, not his office. Grayson wanted it to be comfortable for me.

I sighed, feeling my phone buzz from next to me on my bed. I knew it was a text from Grayson, because of the special vibration it does on silent. When the ringer is on, it does the same vibrations, just with the sound too.

2:15pm
from: grayson
are you still okay with coming today?

I smiled, he's always double, if it not triple, checking if I still want to do things. He's so sweet.

2:16
To: Grayson
Yes, i still want to. What time will you be here?

I set my phone back down, flipping onto my back. I had already gotten dressed and did my hair. I just ran my brush through it, so I had nothing else to do before leaving with Grayson.

Usually I would just go meet him at the Cafe, but I still don't have my own car. My dad wants to take me shopping for one this weekend, so thats cool. My parents are also letting me go up to our Lake House next weekend. Just me, Grayson, Ethan, and maybe Chance, if his parents allow him to go. My mom suggested I bring my cousin Haley, who I'm not close with, to the cabin with us. Apparently she thinks Ethan is really cute and wants me to play Cupid for the weekend. I haven't put much thought into it. I kind of just liked the idea of the four of us going. It's not like we'd do anything wrong while we're there alone.

I walked back to my bed, checking my notifications. School was out now, and Grayson had texted me twice.

2:16pm
From: Grayson

2:34pm
From: Grayson
