i gathered all my books and shoved them into my bag.
"don't forget to read chapters 10 and 11!" mr. welsh shouted at the kids as they were leaving.
i walked out the door until someone stopped me,
"hey emma"
i looked up and my eyes met those hazel eyes.
grayson dolan? is he really talking to me?
"hey gray, whats up"
"nothing, just needed to go to ask Mr. Welsh a question" he said as he pointed to him.
"oh sorry"
i walked away and went to my locker to find a note.
hey em,
meet me under the bleachers
- e
i put the note in my backpack, grabbed my lunch and went to the bleachers.
"hey e" i said stepping under the bleachers
"hey, so you know kayla?"
"oh yeah the girl that youve been crushing on for only the longest time."
"hey you cant be talking youre literally in love with gray."
i laughed and gave him a little smirk.
"but anyway, continue?"
"oh yeah, well i found out that her and logan are breaking up!"
"oh yeah i was about to tell you that, now you can finally shoot your shot! but i also heard that gray and kayla now might get together." i said getting sad at the fact that gray might get with kayla.
"what how do you know?"
"i just heard that. they've been talking a lot and people also think that they are gonna get together since kaylas the cheer captain and gray is also one of the most important football players and the most popular."
"hey" ethan said shoving me.
"come on ethan you know you're most important player on the team to me."
he had a little cocky smile on his face.
"anyway we need to come up with a plan, so come over to my house after school?" i asked
"yeah"
-
"mom i'm home! and e is also here!" i shouted from downstairs.
"okay i'll be down" my mom shouted from upstairs.
i chucked my book bag on the floor and flopped on the couch.
i pat the cushion next to me signaling ethan to sit next to me. he flopped next to me making the weight shift to his side.
he leaned on his arm and layed down looking up at me.
"oh emma this is not your angle." ethan said.
i shoved his arm causing him to fall
"ethan!"
"i'm kidding em, you know i think you look good from any angle"
"oh my gosh ethan dolan i'm blushing"
ethan sat up and kissed me on the forehead. he's my best friend. i love him.
"k but ethan. we need a plan!" i said smacking my hands together in between the last sentence.
i've been best friends with ethan for a while now. i've never really hung out with grayson. only when he was at home when ethan and i were there
ethan and i sat there waiting for one of us to get an idea.
"oh my god you have to be my fake girlfriend." ethan said
"what?"
"itll make them jealous!" he said getting into a sitting position.
"plus you and i both need practice"
"oh my god you're so smart!" i said with a genuine smile.
i grabbed his hand a squeezed it with excitement.
"okay starting tomorrow then. be prepared"
"okay but i also-" ethan started, but my mom interrupted.
"hi ethan" my mom said as she came down the stairs.
"hi ms. chamberlain."
"please call me sophia! you're like a son to me"
ethan laughed and nodded.
"you kids hungry?"
i looked over at ethan to see if he wanted food and he shook his head.
"we're okay mom, thanks though."
my mom nodded and made herself coffee as we did some homework and studied for the history test we had.
-
i walked ethan out the door and he gave me a little kiss on my lips. which meant nothing. he does that all the time.
"don't forget about tomorrow!"
"i wont!"
i sat down on the couch as i got a text from him
ethan: miss u already honey
emma: ew stop. save it for tomorrow dolan
ethan: bye chamberlain
emma: bye dolan
