I honestly don’t want to i Grayson If she’s happy with hiet to the bottoht explanation fro to Grayson to find out what happened to her eye, and I kno that’ll end

The guy she’s sitting with nods inat them I et her attention When she looks at e my head toward the cafeteria doors, then stand up and walk toward the she’ll follow me I know it’s not h the rest of the day withoutGrayson, I have to know the truth I walk around the corner for ainst the row of lockers She walks around the corner and spotsGrayson?" I ask I keep it short and sweet She doesn’t see conversations withshe doesn’t want to do I just want the truth so I can justify my next move

She rolls her eyes and walks to the lockers across froainst them to face me "Does it matter?"

Hmm It shouldn’t matter, but it does I have no idea what kind of person she is, but Grayson doesn’t deserve her So yes, it does matter

"He’s an asshole," I say

"Soood for you"

She laughs and rolls her eyes toward the ceiling, shaking her head "And you are?"

I groan She’smy point completely I turn around to face the lockers and hit one of the so h the hallway I cringe That came off a little harsher than I ry and I hate that I’ive a shit Les isn’t around for Grayson to fuck over, so why do I care?

Because I don’t want her with hiain "Don’t factorabout Grayson, not me You shouldn’t be with him You have no idea what kind of person he is"

She rolls her head back against the locker, fed up with me "Two days, Holder I’ve known you all of two days," she says She kicks off the lockers and walks toward rily "In those two days, I’ve seen five different sides of you, and only one of theht to even voice an opinion about me or my decisions is absurd It’s ridiculous"

I inhale through h ht She’s seen o from hot to cold iven her a single explanation She deserves an explanation for ive her one

I take a step toward her "I don’t like hiers up to trace the bruise underneath her eye "And then see hiet a little ridiculous"

Thethe bruise, I fail to reroider and I can’t help but notice the obvious reaction she has to h her hair and pull her mouth to mine, but she pulls away from me and takes a step back

"You think I should stay away from Grayson because you’re afraid he has a temper?" She narrows her eyes and tilts her head "A bit hypocritical, don’t you think?"

I keep my eyes locked on hers as I process her co me to Grayson?

I have to turn away frorip the back of my neck with both hands, then slowly turn back around to face her, but I keep my eyes trained on the floor

"Did he hit you," I say with a defeated sigh I look back up at her and directly into her eyes "Has he ever hit you?"

She doesn’t flinch or look away She just shakes her head "No," she says softly "And no I told youit was an accident"

I can tell by her reaction that she’s telling the truth He didn’t hit her He never hit her, and I’ him and he really didn’t hit her, then what’s her connection to him? Does she want to date him? Because I sure as hell don’t want her to

The bell rings right when I open my mouth to ask her what her relationship is with Grayson The hallway fills with students and she breaks eye contact with me, then walks back toward the cafeteria

I haven’t seen Daniel again I also didn’t have another class with Sky, which disappoints h We can’t seeu to have another conversation with her

I leave my books in rablot I’m several feet froainst it I stop and assess the situation He’s eyeing me coldly, but he’s alone Not sure what he wants or why he’s touching my car

"Grayson, whatever it is, I’o" I’et the hell offoff the car with his foot He folds his arms across his chest and walks toward o, Holder But for some reason you seem so focused on o"

He’s within reach of my fist nohich isn’t very smart of him I keep my eyes locked on his, but watch his hands out of my peripheral vision

"You’ve been back less than a day and you’re already at it again," he says, stupidly walking even closer to me "Sky is off-limits to you, Holder Don’t talk to her Don’t look at her" I can’t believe I’ near her The last thing I need is for another one of irlfriend’s to kill herself because of you"

I’ht is drowned out by anger
