Chapter Eleven: "Reality Hits Hard"

Friday

I FELT BAD FOR Grayson. My heart ached for him. He was probably cooped up in the house, miserable. I didn't expect to see him at school today.

Today wasn't just a normal school day. It was club fest day, which meant that the school would be filled with all kinds of decorations and stands from clubs. I had three clubs that I had to decorate for: drama, Spanish , and art club. I also had student council, but that was nothing really.

I was known as one of the intellectuals around the school. I wasn't really classified as a nerd, thank god. It's funny how cliques had gone out of style, yet they still existed. Certain people just hung out with certain people, and that was that.

"So this is the schedule for today. The pink squares are for you," Perri explains as she hands me the stack of stapled papers. I thank her and scan over them. It wasn't anything that I didn't already know. I was pretty good at knowing where to be and when.

Ethan walks over towards us. Beside him was Lars. They were always together. It seemed like they were more like twins than he and Grayson were.

"Hey guys, wanna help us decorate?" I ask. "We could use an extra set of hands."

They both nod. "Sure thing."

Ethan clenches his jaw. It reminded me of Grayson. He did that a lot too.

Lars walks off with Perri to grab the decorations. I stayed back with Ethan to talk about Grayson. I wondered if he knew about the situation with Mel. He probably didn't.

"So is Gray here?" I ask.

His expression sinks. I thought about if I had said something wrong, but I couldn't find anything. Maybe something was wrong.

"He's somewhere around, but I'd rather not talk about him," Ethan declares before beginning to walk.
I walk along beside him. If you ask me, he seemed jealous. The very topic of Grayson had changed his whole demeanor.

"OK. He's not important," I lie.

That seemed to be all that I wanted to talk about. He was all that was on my mind, and it bugged me that I couldn't even talk about him to his own brother. My body just wanted to set off to find him. I needed to know if he was okay or not. I also wanted to continue our heated conversation about Mel. I had said some things that were harsh, but I couldn't help it. Plus, I felt the need to confess to him. He was going to have to know about Ethan and I sooner or later.

I walked, continuing to ignore the elephant in the room. Why didn't he want me to talk about Grayson? He loved his brother, and I would hate to know if I was the one that was coming between them.

"So... How have you been? " I ask, trying my best to avoid the topic.

Ethan scratches his brow. He looked bothered, and I knew that it was too late for me to un-ruin the mood.

"Not great. I can't stop thinking about you, " He admitts. I could tell that he was trying his best to carry on with the conversation, and I was trying to do the same.

I chuckle and bite the bottom of my lip. It was cute that he was still into me. I admit, I couldn't stop thinking about my sexual encounter with him either, but I wasn't stuck on it. I had thought about it more than once or twice, but not much more than that. It was a good moment, and that was all.

"Ethan, look... I'm bad for you. You deserve better, and I don't want to hurt you." I insisted that he date someone else. In my mind we weren't dating, but I had no knowledge of the little thoughts running around in his head. It was a hit and quit situation. I felt like a jerk, but I couldn't force something that wasn't meant to be.

"But Baby girl you're perfect! For once I meet a girl who doesn't give a shit about the way my hair looks or if our outfits match. You're amazing," He continues to blab on about me. I listen attentively, but my mind kept straying off into thinking about Gray. Why would he want a girl that thinks about his brother while with him? I wanted to see where my situation with Grayson went.

It's funny how he was my crush, then I ended up hating him, fell in love with his brother, got seduced by him again and slept with him, went back to hating him again, slept with his brother for revenge, and now I'm here.

My heart was a hopeless case, and I was a hopeless romantic.

"I'll talk to you later Ethan. I have another club errand to run," I lie.

He looks at me with a dry smile. There was no hope in trying to force me into liking him. I didn't feel anything for him and that was that.

"Okay, I'll see you later."

I paid no attention to his words and walked away. It was all too weird for me. I had no time for his jealously. I had to find Grayson. The two of us may not have been on the best terms, but I still liked him.
