In love with my best friend

Parker Thomas( The Ex)

We talked for hours being us, and then we ate dinner and told his mom about us. Being an official us, which again is crazy. Though I guess it happened kinda fast, but that's okay. A week had passed before we told everyone else that we were official. Jaxson and Nova told everyone the day after game night. We do double dates all the time now so it's pretty cool. But today I had PE with Parker, and she didn't really like the news she had heard. I mean she always bullied me even before she got with Gray but now it's ten times worse. She gave me nasty looks but didn't actually do anything until after class was over. I got changed for the rest of the day and that's when the worse of the worse happened. She locked me in the locker room with her.

Parker: So you and Gray, that's fantastic. Enjoy my leftovers

Izabella: Leftovers are the best, especially from a good meal.

Parker: Ugh... you're never gonna be as popular as me.

Izabella: That's not what I want.. I want to be me. Why would I want to be you?

Parker: Because I don't have bruises like you.

Izabella: I don't have bruises?

Parker: Not yet!

At that moment I knew I was in for rude awakening. I left the bathroom with scratches on my arms and face. I put on a jacket I had in my locker and let my hair down covering my face. I ran into Nova.

Nova: You good?

Izabella: Yeah, I'm pretty good... Umm I've gotta go.

Nova: Okay?

I scurried away trying not to be noticed but Grayson caught me.

Grayson: Hey

Izabella: Hey baby, what's up?

Grayson: Nothing much just missing you, can I drive you home?

Izabella: As much as I would love that, I've got a lot of homework to catch up on.

Grayson: Oh, okay. You okay ?

Izabella: I'm fine, just stressed I guess.

Grayson: Okay, your mom invited me over for dinner later. I'll be by at around six or seven.

Izabella: Okay.

I kissed his cheek and hurried home. As fast as I could, I knew he would know something was wrong so I had to hide as much as possible. Once I got home I ran upstairs and put on an oversized long sleeve shirt. I put my hair up while I did my homework and then it was time for dinner. I put my hair down making sure it covered my face. As some of my scratches had actually bruised. I went downstairs and Gray was there. He hugged me and we went to eat. We helped my mom set the table and then the conversation started

Mom: So when's the wedding?

Izabella: Mom...

Grayson: technically we already had one.

Mom: I don't think kindergarten counts.

Grayson: It's kept us friends for 11 years I think it's done a pretty great job. 

Izabella: Yeah, it did. 

Mom: You know I always knew the two of you would end up together.

Izabella: I'm sure you did, after all it's a mother's intuition.

Mom: You got that right, speaking of which are you okay?

Izabella: I'm fine, just stressed about school work.
