Rejected (A Hayes Grier FanFiction)

Chapter 7 "friends"

*dani's POV*

I was finishing up my biology homework when I realized I had to be dropped off at Hayes' house today! I looked at my phone and saw it was 4:39! I'm supposed to be at Hayes house in 8 minutes!

"MOM IVE GOT TO GET DROPPED OFF AT HAYES HOUSE. LIKE NOW!" I yelled. And ran down the stairs. Grabbed my book bag and put my sneakers on.
"Okay I'm coming. I'm coming" she said speed walking out of her office.
"Come on!" I rushed her.
We ran out the door and got into the car.
"Okay dad will pick you up at 7" mom said as I got out of the car. Hayes house was beautiful! I waved goodbye to my mom and walked to the front door of his home. I knocked on the door twice and within seconds the door opened.

"Hi sweetie! You must be dani!" She smiled and brought me into their house. It was not what I expected, it was beautiful and big.

"Hi! It's nice to meet you" I smiled back. I looked around the room and saw all the pictures of their family.

"Well I'm nila, and Hayes is in the shower so you can hangout with me in the kitchen until he comes down!" Nila said. I nodded and we walked into their huge kitchen.

"Who was at the door?" A tall man said as he came down the stairs.

"Oh honey this is dani. She is here to work on a project with Hayes!" Nila informed him.

"Hello dani. I'm coach grier but you can call me chad or Mr. Grier" he said shaking my hand.

"Hi sir" I smiled.

"Okay so dani you must be popular In school" Nila said as we chatted.
"Yeah kinda"
"Yeah! I knew you were a popular one in school. You are just so pretty I just figured" she smiled.
"Awh thank you" I laughed.
"Nila? What time is it?" I heard Hayes call down.
"5 o'clock" she answered.
"Ugh she was supposed to be here!" He said walking through the hall on his phone.

"Uh Hayes? Honey, she is here" Nila laughed.

"Oh dani uh hey" Hayes awkwardly laughed.

"Let's get to work" I said and brought all my stuff up to his room.

"Okay let's get started."

We worked on decorating the board and then we worked on the final copy for the essay. It was pretty tough work, cause Hayes kept sticking the tape to his face and not to the decorations.

"You are so immature" I complained as we finished up for the day.

"But I'm a great kisser" he smirked.

"That literally had nothing to do with what I just said" I said throwing a pillow at his face.

"I have a question" Hayes said.

"Okay shoot" i said looking him in the eye.

"How come you won't date me" he asked rubbing the back of his neck.

"You want me to be completely honest?" I asked. How am I suppose to tell him all of the reasons.

"Please" he said. I can't just say oh yeah I hate you sorry. Like no I can't just say that.

"Well Uhm I've heard that you are a player and that once I do say yes then we'll date for about two days and then you'll dump me for someone better. I'm just a crush, you'll get over it" I said getting off his bed and walking over to his door. I felt his hands on my waist. They were extremely strong.

"Your not just a faze" he whispered in my ear.

"Stop. I don't like you" I said trying to wiggle out of his grasp.

"Dani! I want to be with you. Please just give me a chance!" He practically yelled.

"please stop. I told you I didn't want to be with you, its for a reason. I told you Hayes, I'm just a crush" I said back running my fingers through my hair.

"DANI! You're not just a crush, you- you're like a fish hook and I'm the fish and you've got me hooked and I can't seem to s t myself free!" He yelled again. He was frustrated with me.

"Please just stop. Please just move on. I'm not worth this, and you know that" I pleaded. I don't want any part of his relationship statuses. "And that was so corny"

"It's not that easy dani!" He yelled.

"I think I'll just leave" I said walking out his bedroom. I walked downstairs and saw Nila and a tall boy sitting in the couch.

"Hey dani how'd it go?" Nila asked sitting up to listen better.

"Uhm okay. I guess" I answered.

"Hey I'm Nash" the tall boy said. Looks like tall boys got a name, Nash.

"Hi I'm dani" I smiled.

"Nila?" I heard Hayes yell. He came down the stairs when he saw me he had what looked like excitement in his eyes.

"Yes honey?" Nila replied.

"Oh uh never mind" he answered.

"Oh Hayes is this the girl?" Nash smirked.

"Uhm yeah" he blushed. Eww. No.

"Ohh. How'd everything go? Does little pooh bear have a little girlfriend?" Nash sang. Pooh bear? What the hell?

"No" I simply answered for him.

"Oh Hayes what happened?" Nash asked. Hayes shrugged and scratched the back of his neck.

"She doesn't like me" he said.

I texted my dad to pick me up.

Me: dad can you pick me up now?

Dad: already on my way.

Me: okay see you in a few. Thanks.

I finished texting my dad and then just sat and talked to Nila.

"Yeah sure! Wanna watch the game?" I heard coach grier say.

He walked in with my dad. They were laughing. What is this.

"Hey dad" I said. He stopped laughing and looked at me.

"Oh hi sweety. I'm gonna stay here and watch the game with. Chad if you don't mind" my dad said sitting down with chad.

"But I have to take a shower, get ready for school, do homework" I said, just trying to avoid staying here with Hayes.

"It'll be fine you can do that stuff here. Plus you finished all your homework with Hayes" Nila smiled.

"Uhm okay" I answered. This is so weird.

My dad and chad started watching football. Chad offered my dad a beer and that's pretty much how it goes.

"Hey wanna go outside?" Hayes asked.

"Uhm sure" I replied. We both got up and walked out on his back deck. His backyard was beautiful. He had a huge pool and it was just amazing.

"Ya like it?" He asked.

"Yeah it's beautiful" I answered.

"Just like you" he smirked and looked at me.

"About that hayes, can we please just be friends? I know you really like me but I just want to be friends if that's okay" I said. I feel really bad but I don't like him. It's just annoying when he's always drooling over me. I really wanna be best friends.

"Friends? Oh uh yeah, friends"

"Sorry"

"It's whatever"
