Elle's POV
"Math class..... yay." I said sarcastically.
"With those dickhead Dolan twins." Colton laughed.
"Yay." He added as we both laughed.
"I still don't get why they haven't recognized you or t least introduced themselves." Colton rolled his eyes.
"It fine, it's awkward for them... I get it." I smiled.
"Yeah, but it's weird for them to be giving me the death glare all the time." Colton laughed turning his head slightly to see the Dolan's friend group nearby.... glaring.
"Defffffinitely awkward..." Colton laughed.
"Okay Okay, you have a point, but let's just get our seats and -" The teacher interrupted me.
"Assigned seats everyone, don't get too comfortable." I heard our teacher Mrs. Green say.
"Even better." I muttered under my breath.
As Mrs. Green started assigning the seats I completely zoned out... thinking about... the Dolan twins.
"Elle Stone!" I heard Mrs. Green call.
"Y-Yes?" I stammered.
"Over here." Mrs. Green smiled as she tapped my new desk. It was all the way in the back. That sucks but also can be good. Oh god no please don't tell me this is happening.
Grayson's POV
"Grayson Dolan!"
I sat down on my new, designated seat.
"Elle Stone!"
Oh no. Don't tell me...
As Elle walked over I immediately saw her face go dark. Yep, it's because of me. Honestly, I don't know why Ethan and I haven't talked to her yet, we've just thought it would be awkward. Childhood best friends, separated for 5 years... it would just be weird. But on the other hand, someone needs to regard the elephant in the room.
"Grayson Dolan!"
"Y-Yes?" I stammered, getting out of my thoughts.
"I've called your name about five times." Mrs. Green said sternly.
"S-Sorry, what do you need me for?" I asked shyly, my face turning a bright shade of red.
Mrs. Green sighed as she said, "Come up to the board and solve this problem."
I hate math and these are one of the hardest problems to do. Worst. Day. Ever. I stood up there, shaking. Trying to think of a solution, but I couldn't. My face was hot, I could feel the burn as I kept trying, but nothing was written on the board. I was clueless and so dumb. Humiliating myself right in front of my old childhood best friend. Why world why!!!
"Yes, Elle?" I heard Mrs. Green ask. Elle was probably gonna laugh at how dumb I was.
"Can I help with Grayson's problem?" Elle asked.
"Sure, he seems like he's having trouble." Mrs. Green rolled her eyes.
I felt a brush of Elle's long hair on my shoulder. She tapped on my shoulder and gestured for me to give the piece of chalk. She smiled. "I got you." She lightly laughed. Once she finished the problem, the bell rung.
"Class dismissed, have a good lunch." Mrs. Green waved as we all walked out.
"Thanks for helping me today Elle." I said shyly.
"So now you're talking to me." Elle said, emotionless. I felt a stab of hurt.
"I'm sorry, I just thought it was going to be awkward." I blurted out, my face turning crimson.
Elle laughed as she said, "Where's the fearless Grayson I used to talk to?" "Or is Grayson B Dolan really getting nervous around me?" I blushed some more. "Grayson, you have a girlfriend, stop!" I kept telling myself.
"Hey babe!" Kenzie said as she kissed me.
"You're so red, cute!" Kenzie laughed.
"Oh my god, Elle, is that you?" Charlotte blurted out excitedly.
"Char, hi!" Elle said hugging Charlotte.
"Oh, hi Elle." Kenzie smiled.
"Hi Kenzie, long time no see." Elle said as she, to my point of view, awkwardly hugged Kenzie.
"So you and Grayson are dating?" Elle laughed.
"Yup!" Kenzie said, popping the 'p' and kissing me right on my mouth.
I smiled.
"Hi Lexi, Kylie." Elle nodded at both of them.
"Hi Elle." They smiled as they hugged her.
"Wow, all of you have changed so much." Elle smiled.
"Hey, we couldn't even recognize you at first." Ethan said coming up and scaring Elle.
"Ohmigod Ethan..!" Elle yelled, playfully nudging Ethan on the arm.
"Hey Cam, Jack." Elle smiled once again. Then we all hugged her in a group hug. Life couldn't honestly be better.
"Elle, sit with me and the football team at lunch?" I heard Colton's voice. That little...
"Sure, is it okay if I sit with Colton today?" Elle asked us.
"If you want to." I muttered.
"Sure." Ethan said with no emotion. Ethan and I hate Colton, long story short he did something to us that we will never forgive him for.
"Bye guys!" Elle waved as the walked away.
"He's such an ass prick." Cam said.
"Agreed." I said nodding.
Elle's POV
Lunch.
Once I entered the cafeteria, total silence and all eyes on me. Talk about awkward. I smiled and tried to be cool while I followed Colton to the Jock table.
"Hot damn."
"You really scored a snack Colton!"
"Way to go Colt."
Is what I heard. I feel so uncomfortable just sitting there while they talk about my body.
"Guys stop this is weird." Colton laughed as he nudged me, trying to make me feel more welcome.
I smiled, grateful for it.
"Dude, are you trying out for the football team captain?" One jock asks, I think his name is Ross? (A/N NOT ROSS LYNCH)
"Yep, I'll be trying out." Colton smiled.
"I heard the Dolan dweebs are trying out too." A guy named Caleb says.
"They're not dweebs." I defended.
"Okay, they can try out, see if I care." Colton laughed.
I knew I sensed some tension between Colton and the twins. Maybe something happened.
"What are you thinking of doing hot girl?" This other guy named Brayden asks.
"Oh, I'm not sure yet, maybe acapella?" I blush.
"Acapella?" Ross smiles.
"Elle, I didn't know you could sing." Colton smiles at me.
"Ya, but I'm not that good or anything." I laugh.
"Ya you're probably not good." Colton says no emotion whatsoever.
"You're probably amazing." Colton smiles at me as the bell rings.
"That's our cue to leave, madam?" Colton laughs as he opens the door for me.
I laugh too as we leave the cafeteria.
At the end of the day...
"Hey sweetie how was your first day of school?" Dad asked.
"It was cool I guess." I smile at him and walk upstairs. I scream and fall on the floor. The twins scared the living shit-talking mushrooms out of me.
"Oh my god, you two are so dead." I laugh as I calm myself.
"We just wanted to hang out." Grayson says pouting and showing me big puppy dog eyes. I roll my eyes. "Okay... so we are." I smile and sit next to him on my bed. "What happened with Emma, Ethan?" I smile while nudging him. "We hang out, you just haven't seen her at school yet." Ethan laughed. "We're currently dating." Ethan blushes and turns crimson. "I KNEW IT!!!!" I squeal. "We both saw it coming, even when we were little, Ethan." Grayson laughed. "Oh god, I can't imagine what you two were planning." Ethan facepalmed. "Nothing much really just came up with Ethma, your ship name." I giggled. "Now, I saw that coming." Ethan laughed as Grayson and I high fived. "Soo, explain Grayson as to what happened with you and Kenzie." I wiggled my eyebrows. "I did not see that one coming to be honest." I laugh. I really didn't, she was some popular girl, while the twins, Charlotte, and I were on the bottom. I know it sounds like I'm jealous.... but I'm not. I think Colton and I have a thing anyway... right?
"Oh, after you moved away, I was such a wreck, Ethan and I both were, Kenzie was there to help me." Grayson smiled shyly. Ethan nodded. Both twins didn't make contact with me, like at all. Did something happen, are they currently... lying to me?
