the sound of the balcony door slide open made him look up, revealing a red face with puffy eyes and lips, which was a big surprise to me.
he was crying?
i sat down next to him. "what's wrong gray?"
g r a y s o n
hearing my name being called gray especially from her, made me feel so happy. only the people who are close call me that. i missed the feeling. having her call me that already made me feel better.
"i'm fine, i just miss my dad." i tried not to cry.
"oh we're gonna go back home tomorrow, then you can meet him." she sounded so innocent and sweet.
"no i can't, he's not here anymore em."
she looked so confused, she never knew my dad died, i don't blame her though.
"huh?.." she asked, "oh.. oh my god i'm sorry gray." she continued.
i pulled my hands out and hugged her, she seems surprised but hugged back.
this was it. the hug i needed that i never had.
her small body was still a bit wet from the pool but i didn't care. i wanted to stay like this forever, in the arms of the girl i love, although i know it's never gonna happen again.
we stayed in the embrace for what seems like hours, not letting go anytime soon.

i gushed walking through the hallways to my room. joy is an understatement.
i literally just hung out with my crush, in the pool. i'm the luckiest.
i walked in our room as wandered around to find those two.
i look at the balcony. there they were hugging.
finally, i've been waiting for this moment. i chuckled, in my mind because interrupting them is not a choice. i took a picture. ah, my parents are cute.

"ALEXA PLAY PERFECT BY ED SHEERAN"
i heard someone shouted, causing me and grayson to break away. it was no other than madelyn.
she has been watching us.
"aww you love birds are the cutest! can I have a picture please?" she said giving us puppy eyes.
"mady, now's not the time. he's going through some tough things. don't joke about it"
"oh! your eyes are a little red grayson, hope everything's alright. anyways let's prepare, it's almost time for our gathering" madelyn said then rushed to the bathroom, "em, watch the door don't let your boyfriend come in."
i threw my slipper but it was too late.
she already closed the door.

the rest of the day flew by, i've learn a lot from the site today. if learning was fun like this everyday, i wouldn't hate school much.
"emila lets go to a party!" madelyn says as her face lit up while laying on the bed we were sharing. grayson was on the bed in the opposite side doing who knows what on his laptop.
sadly, i wasn't in the mood for parties. i just wanted to rest.
"sorry dude i'm tired, why don't you ring your boyfriend instead" i smirked. "emilaaa just come with me. don't be lame, who goes to sleep at 9?"
"i do. maddie just ring ethan. i'm sure he'd want to go, especially with you" she blushed.
they aren't officially dating but they have feelings for each other. very strong feelings.
"emila you are lame, i'm calling ethan." she pouts as she rings ethan. i laughed and cuddled in my blanket. grayson was still focused on his laptop.
not even 5 minutes later, ethan shows up. before nadelyn left, i told her to have fun and use protection ;) only to earn a smack.
grayson seemed unbothered from the whole thing, so i approached him to see what he was doing. he was watching what seems like a horror movie on netflix.
i took off his earphones. "you're watching a horror movie and you didn't invite me? i feel betrayed"
"oh i saw you and madelyn talk so I didn't wanna disturb. wanna join?" he replies, chuckling at the end.
"duh. move" i demanded.
halfway through the movie my phone dinged, i read the text from 'madylady'
madylady: hey Em, is it ok if i stay at ethan's tonight, i might be a bit late so i didn't wanna disturb.
i texted back making sure to tell her to have fun. she was gonna sleep with her crush and if i didn't say yes, i would be too cruel.
i guess i was fine with grayson. alone.
g r a y s o n
since madelyn isn't coming back tonight, i thought it was a good opportunity to get some things off my chest. to confess.
im sure about my feelings for her. i mean watching her be so cute and funny all the times, anyone who dislike would be dumb.
if i keep my feelings any longer it will actually kill me inside.
i paused the movie.
"emmy, i wanna ask you about something.."
