Lynn's POV
Another day, another hour in school. Gosh I wish it didn't exist, maybe that way I would be able to forget about Hayes.
"Lynn!" Exclaimed Grayson catching up to me.
"Hey" I smiled
"What are you doing after school?" asked Grayson as he stopped me in mid hallway.
"ermm.. nothing really why?" I asked
"Just wanted to see if you would like to come to my game today" Grayson replied
"Ooh.. I don't thing that's a good idea-"
"C'mon Lynn! Be there for me, not for Hayes." Grayson pouted as he took my hands in his
"Alright." I sighed
"Yay, thankyou! I'll se ya later. Have a nice day" Grayson said and gave me a quick hug before running into school
"ooh, looks like someone 's got a boyfriend" teased Jack
"No I don't, I barely know him" I shook my head
"I'm pretty sure he likes you, though" Jack smirked
"Nah." I responded
"I warned you Lynn" Jack chuckled as we entered class and started working
Hayes's POV
"hey babe" said Madi kissing my cheek
"hey" I smiled as I looked for Lynn. Ever since she started hanging out with Grayson, I've been feeling kind of uneasy about this. I told him to stay away from her, but I doubt he'll listen.
"You okay?" Madi asked and I nodded
"Hey, there's a dance tomorrow and I was wondering if you wanted to go" asked Madi as she put her hands around my neck
" I don't really go to dances, I usually just stay in and watch movies with Lynn" I shrugged slightly wiggling out of her grasp
"Well Lynn's not your girlfriend, I am. I thought this would be fun for us. Specially cause your the Team Captain and yeah" Madi said sounding annoyed
"I'm not gonna do something just because you asked me to okay?" I sighed running a hand through my hair.
"fine then, just- I'll see you later okay" Madi said walking away
"Madi-ugh" I sighed.
"You okay?" Vanessa asked
"This is not the time" I warned
"Hey, I'm out of your lane. I'm done for good" She said putting her hands up in deffense
"How come?" I asked
"You just let a girl come in between your friendship for the second time.. I don't like that. I though maybe Lynn was better than me and maybe that's why you destroyed our friendship to be with her, but no you did the same thing with her. To be honest, you could do so much better. You were so much happier with Lynn" said Vanessa as she walked away
why am I having so many second thoughts?
Lynn's POV
Time fled by so fast and I hurried to the game as fast as I could before the best seats were taken.
"Hey Lynn" Vanessa waved as she sat to me
"I don't want -"
"Chill. I'm actually here to apologize, I'm sorry about bringing up Xavier especially since I know how much that hurt you. I was just jelous that Hayes was so happy without me being the reason why." Vanessa apologized
"Well you have nothing to worry about now" I chuckled
"Yeah I know. To be honest I ship you guys way more " Vanessa laughed
"But anyways, I'm really sorry about acting like a complete ass with you. I hope you can forgive me" Vanessa sighed
"I don't see why not. I hope we can actually become friends " I smiled
"Ahh Thankyou so much, this means alot. Can I sit with you?" Vanessa asked and I scooted in response
"Thankyou so Much " Vanessa asked As she gave me a tight hug
And the game started. It was such a blur really, Hayes didn't seem focused or comfortable really. Grayson was totally concentrated. He made atleast 7 touchdowns in a row.
Hayes kept glancing my way.. or Maybe at Madi, I really can't tell.
in the halftime, music started playing and Grayson was handed a rose while a bunch of cheeleaders jumped in holding up signs and twirling and doing cartwheels. The whole football seemed confused, specially Hayes. He took his helmet off and held it on one arm as he put his hand on his hip with his free hand.
Grayson made his way towards me and propped on one knee as the cheeleaders organized themselves. I chuckled and blushed as I read what it spelled
'Will you go to the dance with me?'
"Yess!" I yelled smiling as Grayson did a little victory dance and a bunch of people awed
he kissed the rose and threw it to me cheesily as I laughed even more.
"now he's a keeper" Vanessa chuckled
"ARE WE GONNA PLAY OR JUST STAND HERE AND PLAY MATCHMAKER?" Hayes yelled, clearly annoyed
"He's Jelous, oh my gosh" Vanessa laughed
afterwards they got to playing, and we won 47 to 26 .
I tried to catch up to Grayson but he was swarmed by both guys and girls, congratulating him on his touchdowns.
I felt a hand cover mouth and another grasp my waist
"Don't scream please " the person said and I instantly recognized the voice.
he took me to closed space behind the restrooms and as he let go I was prepared to yell at him until I got lost in his bright blue eyes.
"Sweat hug" Hayes chuckled as he hugged me
"What are you doing? " I asked pushing him away
"Just hugging my best friend" Hayes shrugged
"Oh so now I'm your best friend. Hayes, you can't just act as if nothing happend" I sighed
"I miss you, Lynn. I really do " he said cupping my face in his hands. At one point, I was gonna allow him to kiss me but then I though about Madi, and Grayson, and How badly he hurt me. I pushed him off of me.
"Lynn.. Please. I need to feel your lips on mine" Hayes pleaded.
"No Hayes. You don't get it, do you?" I asked and Hayes just stared at me
"I feel like I'm trapped within myself. I can't do anything without being reminded of you. I can't think without you slipping into my mind, and it's horrible because there's no way out. I need to be free from you, I need to break away. I can't continue living like this. I want to live on my own terms and I want to be in control of my own life. But right now, you've taken over and all the power is in your hands. Somehow I need to stop this. I need to rescue myself from this hell. I just wish I knew how" I said running a hand through my hair
"okay but that doesn't mean you have to try to make me jelous" Hayes argued
"You think I'm doing this to make you jelous? But I know that you hate to hear this, This is not about you anymore " I chuckled
" I still get jelous, you know? I don't like the way Grayson looks at you. I'm starting to think you like him too" Hayes said as I shook my head.
"Stop trying to mess with me. As you said before, you love Madi. I loved you but you chose her over me and I won't be anybody's second choice" I said leaving him right there.
gosh that felt good.
