2 months later.. (-_- )

Ethan's POV

He gives me one last hug before parting away to his friends. I smile as he smiles at me before talking. I walk up to my locker to get my belongings. As I do that Alex comes up to me wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Hi!" I exclaim closing my locker and smiling at him. He smiles back. "So the whole school knows your taken at this point." He remarks as we begin walking to my homeroom class. "Yup." I reply. Once me and Grayson came out the whole school was surprised. Our main support was Bryce and Nick.

"So, technically flirting with you would be harmful." He sighs disappointed. I look up at him and nod as he frowns. "We can still talk, Alex." I point out as we stop at the door. He smiles nodding. He leans down giving me a hug as his hands slide down my back.

I slap his back making him pull back.  He smirks unbothered and winks walking away. I playfully shake my head as I walk into the classroom. Due to the school not being able to find a replacement, we've decided to merge classes.

Grayson now sits behind me as I walk over to my desk. Mirabel and Jake sit in the opposite row. They've started dating a few weeks prior to me and Grayson's relationship. Walking up to my desk as Grayson continues to conversate with the people around us. I glance over at Grayson making eye contact. He quickly looks away. He frowns a lot more often.

I lay my head down on the desk awaiting for our homeroom teacher to walk in. A hand moves up and down my back in a comforting motion. I groan as Grayson walks over bending down beside my seat. "Hey baby, are you ok?" He questions concerned on why I'm being so silent. When in reality I'm just exhausted.

I sit up giving him a forced smile before responding. "I'm fine Gray. Thanks for asking." I assure him calmly. His phone vibrates as his smile soon turns into a frown. My face contorts in confusion as he barely audibly sighs. He stands once again leaving my side and walking back to his desk.

Weird. But these days, its not surprisingly weird.

'Hey baby, are you ok?' The real question is, are you?

Grayson's POV

My phone vibrates in my back pocket as Ethan stares confused at me. Today is the day. I sigh but in a hushed tone so he doesn't hear. His plump lips force a smile my way as I stand. His eye follow my every movement until he looks away laying his head down again.

Once again, I pull out my phone to text who I've been texting for the past two months. The one that has been telling me to go on certain dates with Ethan. The one that has been telling me certain things to tell Ethan. The one behind this whole scheme, but then again, I'm the one committing the crime.

I still haven't met the person behind this whole thing. Apparently, today is the day to break hearts. Opening my text messages to continue texting the unknown pursuer. Why do I have this pang of guilt for someone I have no feelings for. Then again why do I get another gooey pang when I'm around him.

Anonymous: Are you ready!

Grayson: Ye...

Anonymous: Don't try to back away now!

Grayson: I never said I was going to back away.

Anonymous: You seem like you would.

Grayson: Whatever, what time am I supposed to do it?

Anonymous: Exactly before school ends in the courtyard.

Grayson: Ok..

Shutting off my phone as the teacher strides in. Ethan lifts his head up quickly grabbing his binder out of his bag. She begins lecturing as I lean back in my seat. I'll get the notes from Ethan later. That is if he still wants to breathe in my direction.

3rd POV.

Ethan slams his locker shut after putting all his things away. Slinging his bag over his shoulder heading in the direction of his homeroom teacher's class. A simple question was to be asked then he can swiftly go home to spend time with his boyfriend.

Before Ethan could do that he was stopped by the exact same person. Grayson. Before he could formally greet him a pair of lips were attached to his. He kissed back seeing nothing wrong with the situation. "I l-like you Ethan, just remember." No not love, like.

Grayson speeds away from him before he can respond. He shakes away his tears and continues walking to the teacher. A few years later he walks out towards the courtyard to find a circle of people. Once he finally arrives all eyes are on him. His anxiety meter is off the charts and his hands are shaking.

Once he is at the beginning of the circle he is met with his boyfriend. A little relief was thrown his way as good thoughts popped into his head. Homecoming is a couple months away he could be just proposing. A slight smile grows on his face as Grayson stands on a table and announces for everyone to shush.

He watches intently smiling as his 'boyfriend' begins talking. "As everyone knows I am currently dating Ethan Grant!" He exclaims with no expression on his face. From the background Nick swiftly pulls Bryce in to view the show.

"We have dated for about 2 months now." Ethan smiles clueless to the act about to be done. Nick begins smirking as Grayson's eyes are embedded on Ethan. He frowns slightly but continues on with his act.

"During those two months....I have felt no sign of attraction towards Ethan Grant. To be honest, I was dating him for a bet. Nothing s-serious." He chokes up as everyone around him eyes has slightly widened.

Ethan's smile has now gone into a frown. His eyes are now red and tearfilled. His hands continue to shake and sweat uncontrollably. His stomach churns as he feels very sick and trashed. But worst of all, the poor kind boy's heart was cracked into pieces.

Tears fall down his face as he begins to back away. Everyone's eyes are on him as they gasp and whisper around him. He fully turns around and begins running out of the school not turning back. His best friend's voice is heard after him but he pays no attention to that. His eyesight now slightly blurry as he begins to whimper.

He trudges to his car as he continues crying. Entering the car as he fully breaks down without a care in to world. He slams his head on the steering wheel as he lets it all out. Deep breaths in and out but no sign of self control. He inserts the keys into ignition and begins driving. His eyes still dangerously blurry. He begins to reverse out of the parking lot but stops.

Tapping on his window, a familiar face. They look awfully concerned. There is no need to be concerned. He is just a ordinary boy with a very weak heart. 💔
