"Rose!" I yell as I run after her. I clutch her shoulder and she stops
"Why would you do that?" She asks "They hate you even more so why do that?"
"You were the one who wanted us together?" I yell
"As a joke!" She says
"Why are you so bothered about this anyway. It's my personal life!"
"I've been by your side through all of this, okay?" She spits "But you can't trust him. If you do, imagine what Dahlia's gonna do."
"Dahlia hates me anyway. It's not like she's gonna care!" I yell back
"I won't care about what?" A voice chimes in
"Damn it." Rose hisses
We turn around and see Dahlia standing there, Ethan and Holly walk towards us too.
"Iris!" Grayson yells and runs towards us
My throat goes dry as a look around. Dahlia hates me so this can be a form of revenge since she lowkey hates Grayson, but it wouldn't feel good. Rose looks at me then Dahlia. Rose and Dahlia are best friends so Dahlia's obviously going to know
"Where did you go?" Grayson asks
"Were you with him?" Dahlia eyes me, she steps closer and stares at me
"Dahlia," I sigh
"She was with me and Grayson!" Rose cuts off "she was upset so she went off with me"
I look over to Ethan, who looks completely confused by everything. Dahlia gives a silent 'oh'
"Why were you upset?" She asks me
"It's nothing." I say and tuck a stand of hair behind my ear
Holly rubs her hands together and makes a 'brr' sound
"I'm tired. Can we go back to the caravan?" She asks
"Same." I say quietly so that she couldn't hear me
"Here." Grayson says and wraps his jacket around my shoulders
Dahlia furrows her eyes in confusion and shakes her head slowly
"No. It's okay. Take it." I say as I hand it back to him
"Let's go." Ethan says
•*•*•*•*•*•*•*
"Okay, there's two bunk beds in that room and someone can sleep in the lounge." Ethan says
"I'll sleep in the lounge." I speak
All eyes go on me
"The point was that all the girls sleep in the room." Ethan says, cringing at the thought of a boy sleeping in that room
"You can sleep in the lounge and I'll sleep on the drivers' area" I insist
"That's not gonna be comfortable." Grayson says
"Sleep with us." Dahlia insists. Both me and Holly look at her with wide-eyes.
"Yeah, come on!" Rose says as she grabs my arm and pulls me into a small room with two bunk beds on each sides
"You can sleep on the top." Holly says reluctantly
"It's okay", I say slowly "you sleep there."
Holly climbs on top then Dahlia follows after and climbs on the other bed. Rose and I then go onto the bottom bed and we stay silent for sometime
"So, Iris." Dahlia's voice says, I jump slightly but keep quiet "Are you and Grayson a thing?"
Rose eyes me and signals me to shake my head
"We're just friends." I say
"Oh. Okay." She says
Another awkward silence arises and I quickly walk out.
"Where are you going?" Rose asks
"I need some air." I call back
I walk into the lounge where Ethan and Grayson were watching a movie. I put my hand on the lock when someone calls out
"Where are you going?" Grayson asks
"I need some air." I answer
"Want me to come with?" He questions
"I need some alone time." I smile and walk out.
I sit on the grass and the sound of owls and crickets start to form. Fluorescent lights from a nearby city gives off most of the light, enough for me to direct my way around. I look up at the sky and gaze at the stars. Particularly , the brightest one.
My grandma always told me to look out for the brightest light because that's where she'd be one day. My grandma was the only one who understood my feelings and was like a second mother to me. I guess being an only child resulted in me being lonely most of the time so my grandma was a mother and a sister for me. When she died, it was like half of me died and that was when I fell through a massive hole. I became antisocial until junior year when we started doing athletics. I joined and made it to the track team and made some friends
"What are you doing out here?" A voice speaks up
I look up and Holly sits next to me on the step
"Nothing." I mutter
"Hey." She says and puts her hand over mine "look at me."
I turn to her and she stares at me sympathetically for sometime before hugging me
"I'm sorry." She whispers "I'm sorry for what I said earlier and I'm sorry for assuming that you like Ryan"
I laugh "I honestly wouldn't pick Ryan if he was the last one on earth. And I'm sorry for not looking out for you back in the restaurant. And attacking you."
"And I'm sorry for calling you a bully." Another voice rises. Dahlia comes out and puts her arm around me
"And I'm sorry for shouting at you back at the pier." Rose chimes in
"And I'm sorry for being a bad friend. To all of you." I apologise
"I won something at the arcade." Holly says then pulls out a key ring that had two halves of a heart. "I thought of you but then remembered that we weren't.. well.. you know"
"I love it." I laugh as I take one half
"I think they were making popcorn inside, wanna go?" Rose asks
We all agree and walk back inside.
"You know, Grayson's a pretty decent cook." Ethan says, munching on a handful of popcorn
"It's cause you won't eat anything I make, assclown!" He yells and smacks him behind the head.
We all take a seat on the chairs: Ethan and Rose snuggled up on one corner, Holly and Dahlia on the floor and me in the middle whilst Grayson's on another corner
"Sit with me." Grayson says, patting a spot next to him
I look over to Rose, who looks at me briefly then back at the TV
"I'm fine here." I say
Grayson pouts but shrugs his shoulders and carries on watching a film
