Them Grier Boyz

Chp.3

(Bridget’s POV)

Once I finished putting my clothes back on, I walked out and found Nash leaning against the wall. “What are you doing here?” I asked him. I didn’t mean to sound rude, but I was kind of hoping for Hayes to be the one waiting for me.

“I was waiting for you. Let’s go” he said as he started to walk away. As we walked side by side Nash started to get really close to me. “So do you have a crush on Hayes or something?” he asked. “Why?” I replied. He stared at me and stopped. He took my face into his hands and kissed me.

This was so unexpected that I didn’t know what to do. I shoved Nash away angry and confused. “What’s wrong?” he asked. “You can’t just kiss me like that I yelled. “Why? Didn’t you like it?” he leaned in again, but I shoved him away.

“Why are you suddenly interested in me?” I asked. “Is it because you have a bet or am I just some toy that you can play with?” I was getting very angry. “You never talk to me at school or at your house when I’m hanging with Hayes. So why are you all buddy-buddy with me” I was so confused and emotional that I started to tear up.

Nash looked down and I just walked away. I headed towards the food court wishing that it was Hayes who had waited for me. I thought about the two boys that I had feelings for. Even though I yelled at Nash, his kiss gave me fireworks, and that has never happened to me. I pondered on the thought until I arrived at the food court.

Nash had been following behind me, but with a good amount of space between us. “Finally, there you are. What took you so long?” Jake groaned. “Sorry I stopped to look at something” I answered. I wasn’t crying anymore, but everyone could tell I was in a bad mood.

Hayes looked over at me with a huge grin on his face. I smiled back at him and walked towards him. I looked over at Nash and he seemed hurt.

Once we arrived on our street, Hayes nudged me with his elbow. “You want to come over and do homework?” he asked. I didn’t want to have to face Nash again, but I decided to go over for Hayes. “Sure I agreed.

Once we got to their house my brothers walked on over to our house. Luke looked over at me and made a kissing face. I stuck my tongue out and followed Hayes inside. “Mom we’re home" Nash yelled as he went straight for the kitchen.

We went inside the Grier's house and Nash immediately yelled "We're home!" and ran to the kitchen. Hayes followed Nash and I followed Hayes. Mrs. Grier was cutting up fruit and vegetables for us to eat as a snack. "Awe thx, Mrs. Grier" I said as I picked up an apple. "No problem sweetie" she responded. I was the daughter that she never had, well she did have Skylynn, but we've been neighbors for the past 10 years.

"Hey Bridge" Skylynn said in her cute little voice. "Hey Sky" I said smiling down at her. I was also sky's best firend. We were both the only girls in our family so we formed this great bond ever since she was born. "Hey you want to start homework?" Hayes asked. "Sure" I said. We raced upstairs and into this huge office area that connected Nash and Hayes room.

We weren’t allowed to be alone in Hayes room so we always went to the upstairs office. Hayes took a seat on the floor and I sat next to him. We started to work on Algebra when Nash decided to interrupt us. "What are you guys doing?" he asked. Hayes looked up. He seemed really annoyed. "We're making out Nash that's what were obviously doing" he said in a sarcastic voice. I laughed at him and he just smiled at me.

"Jeez sorry" Nash said as he sat down at his desk. "Hey Bridget what was the homework for Geometry?" Nash asked. I had one class with Nash and it was geometry. I was really good at math so I was taking algebra and geometry because I needed to fix some of my skills in algebra. "The worksheet" I answered, trying to shut him up so Hayes and I could work on our homework.

"Bridget can you help me with problem one?" Nash asked. He looked at me with a wide grin. I sighed and then Hayes butted in. "Nash, quit it. We're doing our homework, so just do yours" he said as he got me back on track with algebra. "So number one is x=4?" he asked. "Yup that's what I got" I answered as I kept working.

All of the sudden Nash starts to drum his fingers on his desk really loud. He had earphones in his ear to block out all the other noise. "Nash! Nash! Nash!" Hayes yelled. Nash kept on drumming to the beat. "Mom can me and Bridget please go in my room Nash is being annoying" he yelled downstairs.

I looked over at Nash and he started to sing and smile at me. My heart skipped a beat, just his smile will make any girl melt. "She said we could go in my room" Hayes said. My thoughts were interrupted and I followed Hayes to his room. We flopped down on his bed and kept working.

Minutes upon minutes upon minutes passed by and it was already six. By then me and Hayes were just goofing around. We were watching funny videos and playing racing video games because those were my favorite. "Hayes it's time for Bridget to go home" his mom yelled. "Okay" Hayes replied.

We both got up and I started to pack my backpack. Hayes was picking up my stuff and handing it to me. We both reached for my folder and we touched hands. We've held hands before, but this was way different. We just stared at each other until I broke out of the trance. 

"Um thanks for coming over" Hayes said as he cleared his throat. "Um yah thank you for inviting me" I responded. "Do you want me to walk you home?" he asked. "Sure" I responded. Once we got downstairs we saw Nash and sky watching a movie together. It was Aladdin, one of my favorite Disney movies.

"Nice movie Sky" I said. "Nash picked it out “she responded. I looked towards Nash and he just blushed. Maybe we do have something in common I thought. As we walked out the house I started to think of all the other things we might have in common. "We're here" Hayes said, as he stopped at my door. "Thanks Hayes" I said.

I looked down at the ground and debated on whether to kiss him on the cheek. "Hey you like soccer right?" he asked. "More like love" I said. "Cool because the Carolina rail-hawks play against the Houston Dynamo so I thought we should go see it this Saturday" he said.

The Houston Dynamo was my favorite team. I was originally from Houston but moved here when I was around 5. I grew up loving soccer and my older brother Jake loved it too so we would always watch the games together. "That would be awesome" I squealed as I hugged Hayes. He stepped back because he lost his balance but quickly recovered.

"Well I hope you know that I’ll be cheering for the Rail-hawks" he said. I raised my eyebrow at him but then said "Well Dynamo is going to kick your butt so I suggest you root for the wining team." Hayes laughed at me and looked into my eyes. This is when I should do it I told myself, and with that I kissed his cheek. "Thanks again Hayes. Bye" I said as I left him out front. I felt so jittery that I jumped up and down. I kissed Hayes i thougt to myslef. 

"What's with the creepy smile?" Jake asked. I gave him a death glare and he rolled his eyes. "Dinner's ready by the way" he siad and ran stright for the kitchen. I dropped my backpack and ran after him. World War 3 was about to go down in the kitchen if i didn't get my food this time.
