After telling Michael and Grace that they'll pick us up around 4, they turned around and said their goodbyes.
As soon as they turned the corner and were out of sight, Michael grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the school doors.
"Grace what the fuck?!" Michael yelled.
"Michael shut up!" Grace yelled just as loud.
As they walked down the street Michael continued. "I can't believe we're going to hang out with Ashton and Calum. Calum. CALUM! Oh my god what do I wear? He likes purple! Do you have a purple shirt I can borrow?"
Grace just giggled at her friends girly behavior and let Michael blab on about how hot Calum was the rest of the way home.
-
Michael didn't want to go over to Grace's because he said he needed to look his best for Calum no matter how many times Grace told him he wasn't interested in guys. Grace walked into her house and immediately went into the kitchen. She pulled out some Oreos which were her favorite, and some apple juice.
She grabbed everything she needed and decided to watch more gossip girl until Calum and Ashton came to pick her up. Once again, she wasn't going to try to impress anyone. She didn't care no matter how cute the two boys were.
-
Calum ended up taking the three to a cute little diner downtown no matter how many times Ashton told him that he just wanted some chipotle. (I'm craving chipotle rn leave me alone)
After they ate and talked about things that Grace really wasn't all that interested in, the went over to Ashton's.
As they were walking up his front porch Grace was nudged on the shoulder by Michael. She looked over to where his eyes were staring at and saw the one and only Luke Hemmings shirtless sitting on his front porch steps drinking apple juice staring off into the lonely road. He looked upset but Grace saw the extra glass of apple juice and realized that he was probably just waiting for the girl he was with. As much as Grace wanted to go up to him and ask him what's wrong because she hates to see people upset, she knew that wouldn't be the right thing to do considering everything that's happened.
They all walked into Ashton's house and took their shoes off because if they didn't his mom would be "pissed off." He walked them down to the basement and Calum set down into the two seated couch. Michael looked nervous and unsure if he should sit beside Calum, so I gave him a little push. He plopped down next to Calum as I giggled and sat down on one of the chairs.
We all argued on what we wanted to watch but we ended up watching Frozen because Calum and Michael went completely insane when they saw that Ashton had the DVD.
Halfway through the movie Grace got a text from her mom saying that she needed to get home because it was getting "too late" even though it was only 8:30. Grace said her goodbyes and asked Michael if he wanted to come home with her but he didn't want to leave Calum so he said he would find his own way home.
Grace just decided to walk back to her house since Ashton's house was only a couple minutes away from her own. She walked down the steps of his porch and the wood steps creaked every time her foot touched them. She heard a little chuckle to her left and turned her head over to the left.
Luke was still there with his apple juice but he had a shirt on now. "What were you laughing at you jerk?" Grace said trying to stay calm.
"Nothin, so you and Ashton are friends now or what?" Luke asked taking another sip of his apple juice.
"Why do you care?"
"I don't."
"Good."
"Good."
Grace was done having this childish fight with Luke so she turned around to walk away but Luke called her name.
"What do you want Luke? I need to get home." Grace replied fast.
"I just wanna talk to you." Luke said staring down at his feet.
"Okay then talk, and make it fast I can't stand your voice for long and I need to get home." Grace snapped.
Luke took a deep breath before he started. "Okay well I know I'm a dick and all but hear me out okay? I'm not as bad as you think I am Grace. I just- I've never been popular you know? When I was in elementary school and when me you and Michael we're best friends, we always got made fun of. You and me both were chubby, and Michael always got made fun of for his weird personality. So I guess when I got to high school and puberty and all this happened it was new for me and I didn't really know what to do. Soon enough I had girls wanting to be with me and all these cool new guy friends. That's why I ditched you and Michael. I know it wasn't right but with everything that was happening to me I needed to do it. You understand don't you?"
"No you're still a fucking dick." Grace said as she turned around and started walking.
"Grace please just listen to me and hear what I have to say. It's not easy for me either! Every night I come out here and sit outside because I'm so upset with myself that I let two of my best friends go! Do you know why I always bring two glasses out Grace?"
Since Grace wasn't replying Luke got the sign and walked back inside knowing that Grace probably couldn't even hear him anymore.
After Luke went inside and Grace heard the door shut she whispered to herself quietly.
"I miss you too Luke."
