"also I'm pretty sure dinner will be ready in an hour." With that he left, I exhale not knowing how long I've been holding my breath.
--- Now... ---
I finished unpacking my things and pulled out my phone laying down onto the bed and take out my AirPods putting them in and turning on some tunes, I started to tap my foot to the music as the volume was at maximum whilst I scroll through Twitter.
Grayson's POV:
I was sat on the sofa next to Ethan as we both were on our phones until I was interrupted "Hey Gray be a dear and get Leah down for dinner please." Mom spoke as I groaned and stood up putting my phone into the pocket on my hoodie heading up stairs.
I got up to the room and knocked, no answer. I knocked one more time before walking in, she was on her phone blasting music through her AirPods I could hear it from the door, I chuckled walking over to her pulling out one of her ear phones, "what do you want?" She looked up at me, "dinner is ready." I spoke before walking out smiling and shaking my head.
- Afterwards -
We all finished eating except for Leah, she just sat there picking at her food (what's up with her?) I think to myself "are you not hungry sweetie?" Mom looks at her with a worried look, "oh uh... not really... sorry ms. Dolan." She replied so respectful. I mutter to myself grinning to myself, mom looked at me for a brief moment before responding to Leah "oh it's fine dear you can always eat it later or tomorrow." She speaks taking her plate away for leftovers as I collect the empty dishes.
Leah's POV:
Grayson and Lisa walked into the kitchen as I stay sat at the table with Ethan, we made awkward eye contact but I quickly looked away, starting to sip my water that was sat in front of me "so do you like it here so far?" Ethan asks awkwardly as he scratched the back of his neck "I love it here your mom is so welcoming and sweet I wish she was my mom." I spoke enthusiastically with a big smile on my face as I stared into the kitchen where Lisa and Grayson still were, but I was quick to realize who I was talking to and looked at Ethan "I mean." I clear my throat "it's okay..." I say putting my cup down and bit my lip as a sign of anxiety building up, Ethan gives me a weird look but just nods his head and walks up stairs, I still sat there like an idiot until Lisa spoke up "since your not eating you can go back upstairs if you'd like." She speaks with a bright smile on her face, I nod and get up drinking the rest of my water and bringing the cup into the kitchen before heading up.
I was relaxing on the bed while watching some vines on YouTube when I hear a knock on the door "come in!" I yell
Ethan walks in sitting on the bed next to me, "can I ask you a really weird question?" He asks, I hesitantly nod in response "why do you hide your emotions? Why do always have a straight face?" He asks looking into my eyes "why are you a fuck boy?" I asked him in response to make a point "touché" he answers as I sarcastically smile at him, he rolls his eyes and walks out closing the door behind him.
- 12:00 a.m. -
I fell asleep a couple hours ago but I woke up feeling dehydrated so I slipped on one of Gray's hoodies that I may or may not have stolen considering I only sleep in undergarments, I then sneakily go down the stairs.
When I got to the kitchen I turned on the light to show Grayson was down here aswell which made me jump, I hold my chest and huff "Jesus Grayson you scared the shit out of me! Why are you up at this time?" I asked, he chuckles "that's my line. Also... is that my hoodie?" I roll my eyes "I may of stolen it but that's only because I didn't want t-" I speak but get cut off "it's fine, I don't mind you look good in it anyway." He spoke making me blush a bit but I was quick to turn away before he can notice, I open the cupboard to get a glass to find out the only ones left were at the top, I stretch as far as I can to try and get it to remember that I'm only wearing the hoodie so I brought my arm down pulling the hoodie passed my bottom so it was covered again, I cleared my throat and close the cupboard and go over to the sink to wash a cup but get stopped when Grayson got a cup for me giving me a smirk, "U-uh... t-thank you..." I stutter mentally face palming at my stupidity "no problem, next time just ask for help." He winks and walks off, I breath out not knowing how long I was holding my breath for and started to put water into the cup.
- Afterwards -
I was lying in bed staring at the ceiling thinking of what happened in the kitchen between Grayson and I, "fuck." I whisper to myself knowing that I was falling for his stupid charm and stupid face.
(why do I have to like someone I can't have.) I think to myself repeating the question over and over again, "what have I gotten myself into..." I mutter before rolling over to my side falling asleep.
- Next morning -
I wake up to my alarm blaring through the room I pick up my phone and pressed 'Stop' reading the time.
7:00a.m.
I groan knowing I have to get out of the warm comfortable bed for school, I get up and change.

I brush my hair and wash my face then brush teeth and put some false lashes followed with some mascara considering I don't really like wearing makeup and my skin is pretty clear, I grab my phone and my bag and go downstairs, "morning!" I yell as I walk to the kitchen grabbing a granola bar, "Uh... sweetie..." Lisa speaks "hm?" I hum in response with the granola bar in my mouth and look up from my phone at her "don't you think... that outfit is a bit... revealing?" She spoke, I looked down at my outfit, I take the granola bar out of my mouth "eh it doesn't bother me." I speak shrugging and putting the granola bar back into my mouth as I walk over to my shoes putting them on, I hear chuckles from the twins from my remark as I do so, "um... okay... Grayson will be driving you to school." She spoke looking at me and the twins "fine with me. I CALL SHOT GUN!" I yell running out the door giggling.
During the ride Grayson kept giving me side glances time to time, soon enough I spoke up "what're you looking at?" I smile "h-huh?! No nothing..." he replies with a nervous look "mhm okay." I speak giggling and turn my head back to the road, I smile and shake my head at the thought of what just happened and look down at my hands.
