"Heyyy," You said, wrapping your arms around Ethan's back. Ethan sighed and slowly took your hands off. "Hm?" You asked resting your head against his back.
"Let go," He said quietly. You frowned and he put a binder away in his locker. Your eyebrows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" You asked him as he slung his bag over his shoulder and turned to face you.
"I have to tell you something," He said. You raised your eyebrows as people hurried past you. "We have to break up," He said quietly.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" You asked, wrapping your arms around his neck. He shook his head, pulling your arms away. "E?"
"I cheated on you," He said. You shook your head slowly as he nodded. "After the last game, I wouldn't answer your calls? I was- I was with another girl." You shook your head, tears forming in your eyes.
"I don't believe you," You said a year rolling down your cheek. Ethan watched it fall and you could see the pain in his eyes. "You wouldn't cheat on me," You said, voice cracking. He shook his head.
"Y/N I'm literally telling you I cheated and you won't believe me-" You cut him off.
"That's because you didn't, you love me," You told him. He shook his head. "You don't love me?" You asked him as the bell rang.
"I- look, I'm not good for you okay? Were done." And with that, he slammed his locker shut and walked right past you.

"Yo," You looked up to see Grayson sliding into the seat in front of you. You smiled. "What test?" He asked, referring to the open notebook in front of you.
"Science," You sighed. Grayson nodded opening a bottle of juice, despite the library rule of no foods or drinks.
"You okay, you seem off," Grayson said, looking up at you through his lashes. You sighed and felt tears prick your eyes again.
"Yeah, I'm fine," You said. Grayson frowned but nodded. "Have-have you seen Ethan?" You asked. Grayson furrowed his eyebrows.
"Did you guys fight or some shit?" He asked. You sighed. "He texted me that he left after second period- something about going home until work," Grayson told you. You nodded.
"He just- we broke up," You said. Grayson raised his eyebrows. "Yeah, me too," You sighed.
"Why did you- you guys were talking about baby names?" He asked. You smiled and shook your head. "He's just being an idiot, he'll come around," Grayson assured you. You shrugged.
"Said something about not being good for me?" You said. Grayson raised his eyebrows. "I wish he would just tell me what happened," You said quietly.
Grayson was quiet for a moment and then opened his mouth. "Maybe you need to know something," Grayson said. You looked up at him and he sighed. "It's not- I only found out a few days ago, okay?" He said, with a sigh. You nodded slowly.
"Is he okay?" You asked Grayson. Grayson sighed, shaking his head. You froze and frowned. He seemed fine the day before. "Grayson."
"He's using again," Grayson whispered. Your eyes widened. "I know- I thought he was clean too," Grayson said. You shook your head.
"He passed every drug test," You pointed out to Grayson. "He can't be on the team if they caught him high, Gray," You said. Grayson nodded.
"Coach changes it, it's fucked up but, he doesn't give a shit about what you're on," He told you. You shook your head. "Most of the guys are on steroids, y/n, he doesn't give a shit as long as we win," Grayson said. You looked down at your lap, a frown on your face.
