My Brother's Best Friend

Drunken State

Elizabeth's POV

School has been going on for a few weeks now and me and Tyler have been avidly going out together. Ollie and Liam also got their acceptance letter via email to the college and still Grayson hasn't received the news which unfortunately for us made him very mopey and he hasn't been trying in school lately. Even in health one of the easiest classes in school he puts his headphones in and pretends to pay attention and surprisingly Ms. Arnott hasn't said a word or she just quite plainly hasn't noticed. I found my usual spot in the back next to Grayson and decided enough was enough. He was surprisingly early and already sitting down while looking off in the distance and leaning back in his chair I grabbed his headphones from him discreetly so nobody would notice and balled them up in my hand Grayson just about snapped and stomped his feet to the ground making people look behind them he looked at me angrily

"Give them back" he whispered

"No Gray your grades are gonna start slipping," I said

"It's not like it matters anyway" he scoffed

"Grayson I'm telling you this not to boost your ego but to tell you the truth you're a better athlete than all of your friends even Parker so you're going to get in and your grades are really good but they won't be if you keep up this attitude," I said whispering while he just scoffed

"If I was better than them don't you think I would be gotten news by now?" He said glaring

"No because results aren't over till tomorrow so there's still time" I said

"Just mind your own business," he said and tried to grab his headphones back from me but I looked around and when nobody was looking stuffed them in my bra. Grayson groaned loudly and everyone in the class looked at him making a fit.

"Mr. Porter are you all right?" Ms. Arnott asked as the bell rang

"Elizabeth stole my headphones and shoved them into her bra," he said truthfully but as he said it my heart stopped every single person in class looked right at me I was literally about to throw up

"Elizabeth is that true?" she asked not sure how to respond I felt like fainting and could feel the hot flashes was I supposed, to tell the truth, or lie and make Grayson more pissed off I felt like this entire situation wasn't real and I pinched my arm to wake myself up from this dream but everything just escalated so quickly from nothing to my heart literally stopping in my chest.

"I'm kidding Ms. Arnott they're right here," he said pulling out a second pair. Everyone remained their stare and started laughing I was dizzy and could hardly breathe I bounced my foot and tears welled in my eyes I started to tense and felt myself blackout. I could tell I woke up not long after since everyone was still staring but Grayson had my head laid on his lap I sprung up and Grayson stood up walked to the other side of me and helped me up

"Sorry she gets fainty when she doesn't eat enough I'll take her home" Grayson said making up an excuse and helped me to my feet and we walked out of the room. He shut the door behind him and stared at the wall before a rush of anger tore through me I started bawling and instead of screaming like I wanted to do I walked over and hit his chest as hard as I could which didn't do much

"I hate you" I said trying not to be too loud I grabbed my phone and called Tyler as I ran into the girls bathroom so Grayson wouldn't follow me. I let it ring and ring and he didn't pick up I slammed my phone down on the sink and splashed water on my face and of course, Grayson walked in

"Huh this is nicer than the guys' bathroom," he said casually looking around

"Get out," I said and wiped away my tears and took his dumb headphones out of my bra and threw them at him. My mind was racing I need to change schools or drop out I can't show my face here ever again.
