above: griffin
(aka young keanu reeves🥺😍)it's been a couple weeks and maddies car got fixed, but somehow i'm still going to be riding to school with griffin. why? because maddie is in so many clubs she has to go to school early everyday.
anyways, i have friends now. at lunch i sit with nick, maddie, reya, and max. reya and max are dating, basically the cutest couple in school.
homecoming is almost around the corner. it's october 3rd and next week is homecoming week. which means maddie is busier than usual with all of her clubs. which means i have nothing to do after school.
additionally, my mom has gotten to know our neighbors pretty well. griffins mom is also single, and they are going out of town with maddies parents next weekend.
it's sunday night and i can hear griffins music from my room. actually i can see his room from here. he keeps his blinds open and his stupid led lights on all night. he lives right behind me. i won't lie, every once and a while i look over and see him. if he wasn't a douche i would probably drool, but he's also maddies ex so i still can't do anything.
anyways, i have a bio test tomorrow, second bell. thank god griffin isn't in it. all we do is nag each other. god i do not want to ride with him to school. alone.
i get ready for bed and fall asleep with my airpods in listening to music.
in the morning, griffin picks me up and i get in the front seat with him. "didn't care about brushing your hair today did you" he looks at me
"fuck you." i flip my head over and but it in a messy bun. "nice outfit" i smirk
he fake slaps me "i'm class president. i have to do spirit week"
"yeah. okay" i laugh at his stupid costume
"kendall thought it was cute" he defends himself
"kendall is also orange and has the most basic style ever" i look over. "gee this is the most you've ever talked to me before"
he looks at me and shuts up. oops i didn't mean to end the conversation.
"we're getting dunkin" he looks over at me
i look at the clock. it reads 7:51
"griffin the bell rings in 9 minutes, we're going to be late"
he looks at me "look liv, you gotta relax a little bit. mrs wheeler is like 100 years old, she doesn't know shit. she won't even care, she's retiring next year anyways."
"griffin, we have a test today."
"and coffee will wake you up. i'll buy"
griffin is like totally rich, which is why he lives in the neighborhood behind me, with maddie
i roll my eyes. like there's anything i could do about the situation because by the time we were done arguing we were next up in the drive thru. dunkin is always super busy before school, it's where everybody hangs out before and after
griffin gets me my drink, "thanks" i sarcastically smile at him and he returns the face back.
"anytime buttercup" he takes a big sip. he pulls in to parking lot
it's 8:02, the bell already rung for class. i grab the belongings and walk hurriedly to class. i open the door and the class stares at me "i'm so sorry mrs wheeler, there was an emergency this morning"
"do you have a note" she asks me
"no ma'am"
"ahh seems like your coffee was just too important" she walks up to me "i'll give this drink back at the end of class and i guess you won't be needing the extra credit on the test today-"
griffin struts through the door, "ah you too griffin, i see you don't care about class either. did you two have fun on your little date?" she looks at us
"olivia? i don't even know her. in fact, my friend just gave me this coffee. here's my tardy note, my dad wrote it."
"you don't even have a da-"
"thank you griffin, very well i guess you are still eligible for the extra credit"
i roll my eyes. at him. lying bitch.
he smirks and sits with his friends
i walk down the isle and kendall sticks out her leg and i trip. her and her friends laugh at me. "stay away from my boyfriend you psycho bitch" she smiles
"he literally said we didn't go together" i roll my eyes and sit behind her
a/n: how do u guys like it so far🥺🥺
