grayson's pov :

i watch as thamana tucks pieces of hair behind her ear from time to time and i smile, watching her every move.

"grayson? you listening?"

i nod immediately and grab my pencil, scribbling down something random she had written down on her notebook.

she chuckles at my sad attempt and i smile hearing her soft laugh, making me chuckle slightly.

"so, do you have the equations ms. smith wrote down on the board?" she asks

"no. i was too busy writing you my note."

she blushes a dark crimson red and clears her throat, repositioning herself on my bed.

"you can copy it down from my notebook." she says handing me her notebook

she stuffs her cheeks into her hands, trying to hide her blush and i bite my bottom lip, chuckling a bit. 

"ok, hold on." i say grabbing her notebook

i stare at her written piece of paper and my jaw drops in awe.

"you have really good hand writing." i praise

she glances at me and fixes her glasses, giving me a small smile as a 'thank you.'

"here you go." i say, handing her her notebook back

"let's do the equations and compare our answers once we both finish." she smiles

i nod in agreement and watch as she immediately gets to work.

thamana's pov :

as i start working on my equations, i look up to see if grayson is doing the same. i look up to see grayson frustrated and murmuring to himself.

"do you carry the 2 or no?" he asks himself

i chuckle looking at him struggle, and he looks up immediately and smirks at me.

"what are you laughing about tham?" he asks, scooting closer to me

"n-nothing. do you need help?" i ask, hiding my chuckle and scooting away from him

i yell as i feel myself fall off the bed and my hand immediately goes to my head, touching it in comfort.

"you ok?" he asks, laughing loudly

"that wasn't funny." i say, hiding my smile 

"then, why are you smiling?" he asks, bending down to my height

"here, grab my hand." he smiles

"you sure? i mean i'm heavy." i say, scratching my head in discomfort

"shut up. you're probably as light as a feather." he rolls his eyes

i grab his hand and he immediately pulls me into his chest, resting his hands on my waist.

"see? wasn't hard at all." he grins, tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear

i look down shyly in discomfort but he pulls my gaze up to meet his eyes again by placing his index finger on my chin.

my eyes widen in shock as i see him leaning closer and closer to him.

before anything can escalate, i push him away from me gently and stuff my things into my backpack.

"t-text me if you have any questions." i say, storming out his room

i run down the stairs quickly but run my hand down the railing, making sure to keep my balance.

ethan's gaze meets mine and his eyebrows furrow in confusion seeing me come down so quickly.

"tham, why are you leaving so-"

"i'll see you later e." i smile and rush out the door

i sigh deeply as i shut the door behind me. i sit down at the curb of their driveway and groan in frustration, realizing i don't have a ride.

———————————————————————————

"you ok tham?"

"can you please pick me up from grayson and ethan's house?"

"sure, just send me the address. you sound anxious and worried. are you ok?"

"i'll tell you everything when you get here ."

"ok. i'll be there in a second."

"thanks aria."

———————————————————————————

i text her the address and tug my phone into my backpack, running my hands through my hair. i curse at myself in my head for running out like an idiot; without even stating anything.

i was interrupted by my thoughts, when i hear a car pulling up. i run up to aria's jeep and slump into the passenger's seat.

"are you ok?" she asks

"just drive."

"you sure-"

"aria. just drive. i'll tell you while you're driving."

—

"tham. it's ok. just breathe." she says holding my hand

"i'm probably being overdramatic aria."

"he was being touchy and you've never been experienced with that type of stuff. it's fine thamana." she chuckles

she pulls up into my driveway and gives me a warm smile.

"you ok or do you want me to come in with you?"

"i'm ok. thanks aria." i laugh

i slump my backpack over my shoulder and get out of the car, walking towards my front door and waving her off.

i smile to myself as i rummage through my backpack, trying to find my keys.

i suddenly hear a ruffling from the bushes making me anxious and i rummage through my backpack even faster.

something grabs me from behind and i scream, making them shut my mouth. they set me down and i turn around slowly with widen eyes.

"grayson?"
