|chapter 3.

grayson's pov , 19th of june

'so gina.. you kinda kept it to yourself that this ball thing takes two weeks of training and preparation.' i said  looking at the crowd of people ahead of me.

many people from southport are waiting to enter the dance hall. i looked around nervously wondering how could i do this to myself.

'well , you won't give up now.. will you?' gina asked , looking at ethan for confirmation.

'no. we are not, are we, grayson?'  ethan mocked me. the bastard was making fun of me. i licked my front teeth, staring at the crowd of people in front of me.

'no, we are not. watch me become the best dancer.' i fake smiled at ethan. i won't give him the satisfaction of seeing me having second thoughts about this.

' what was the theme again?' adam asked  his sister.

' The Red Thread.' gina said with a smile, she took ethan's hand intertwining their fingers together , ' you know about it?'

' i got a feeling you are going to tell us about it.' i sighed , rubbing my forehead.

' oh they opened! c'mon, c'mon lets goo...' gina said happily pulling ethan along with her.

' can we not run, gina?' adam said, taking his water bottle, ' this might be not so bad ,' he looked around checking the girls.

'keep it in your pants, horny ass.' i joked, ' i forgot my water in the car. i will be right back.'

i stood up from the bench i was sitting on and headed towards my car. i laughed at gina pulling ethan in the front with adam behind them. i got to my car and opened it. i got my water bottle and locked my car. c'mon grayson.. you pushed ethan to do this , now you have to pretend you don't want to run away from here. i checked my phone while walking towards the gates of the dance hall.  i wasn't paying attention to where i am walking.

'i am coming, i am coming... jesus, why didn't you wake me up!' a girl's voice said behind me,' i am at the front. see you in a bit.' 

i stopped at the gate , i took a deep breath before i reached for the door's handle.

' excuse me, i am running late,' the girl  tried to pushed me to the side, so she could enter.

i  clenched my jaw , ' i was just about  to walk in.' i said turning towards her.

at that moment i felt my heart stop. i gasped. andrea? a wave of excitement hit me. i haven't seen her in so long.

'andrea' i said, staring at her.

'oh my god..' she covered her mouth, ' h..hi' she laughed nervously.

'what.. what are you doing here?'

i couldn't believe that after all this time i meet her at some random small town, in front of a dance hall.

' i should ask you the same question..'

i could tell she was nervous. her face went pale. for the first time in my life i see andrea speechless. i guess it is normal. you don't expect to see your ex-boyfriend in southport.
