just friends

chapter 9

I haven't spoke to Ethan since I handed back his stuff. I'm not going to lied, it's been hard seeing him around and not talking to him. It never really hit me until lunch and I had to sit at a table by myself. I couldn't help but stare at his table remembering all of our memories. How could he just throw it all away to be with Avery. I sighed and plug my head  phones in my phone turning my music. I shuffle around the songs when That  Should Be Me by Justin Beiber  comes on. 

Nope not today. Why must you torture me like this  phone?  

I was broken out of my thoughts and feelings to the chair that slide out from across me and a person sat down on it. I slowly bring my head up pulling my ear buds out, rolling my eyes when I saw Avery.

"You need to stop staring at us bitch" she says and pausing  before adding on "Just because you're upset  that Ethan chose me over a loser like you doesn't give you the right to stare  at us"

does it show?  

"I'm not upset with you and Ethan. I just don't want a bitch like you to hurt him" I tell her half honestly. I don't want her to break his hurt. Shortly after that she left and I got back to my music only to be interrupted again but this time by Ethan 

oh lord what did this bitch tell  him 

 "Why are earth would you tell Avery to break up with me?"

"What the hell?!  I never said that E" I said shocked. That bitch twisted up my words. I stood up and march my way to her. 

"You bitch! How dare you twist my words around like this!" I screamed at her  causing the whole cafeteria to look over at us.

I turn and started walking away when she didn't say anything to only hear Avery do the old fashion cough and insult  and I just lose it, somebody needs to put this bitch in her place. 

"Is that the best you got? " I shouted pulling my hair in a ponytail. 

" I didn't say anything" she says acting all innocently. 

someone had to do to hear it. 

" You're not worth fighting. Congrats Ethan I you're happy losing a friend of this" I said walking away and going out of the cafeteria.  I take the doors leading to the football. I walk over and  took a seat on the bleachers. I pull out my phone and dialed Paisley's number. It rang for a few moments before she picked up the called. 

Hey girl! how's it going? 

Hey! I hate it here I just want to go home.

{Grayson's POV} 

Brielle looked pretty upset when leaving the room. I decided to followed her out to the football field. I couldn't help but over hear her conversation with her friend. 

"Hey! I hate it here, I just want to go home" I felt my heart shattered. I've always liked Brielle ever since she got it.  But from the way she looked and connected with Ethan I knew I had no chance. I could've swear Ethan liked her back but I lost all hope of that when He asked Avery out. 

Avery has always tried to get with Ethan since the 7th grade. He never really thought of her  as anything but a friend. Which made her go mad. Ever since that day she would ruin the lives of any girl who got close to Ethan. And now it looks like that is Brielle.  

"No Brielle you can't leave " I said walking over to her and taking a seat. She's the only girl I feel close since Jenna. I don't want it to  end because of that stupid bitch bullying her.

"I want to stay Gray, I really do.. but I can't keep living like this." she tells me as tears brimmed her eyes. I scoot closer  to her and put my arm around her shoulders, stroking her hair smoothly. 

"What do you mean Brie?" I ask worried.

"The bullying, seeing him with her, wishing it was me. It's too me."

" Wait, you like Ethan?"

"Yes ever since I had this crazy but perfect dream about him." She said as the tears slowly leave her eye going down her face one by one.
