Chapter 10: still mad

I walked out into the parking lot and sat down in my car. Then I dialed Grayson's number and called him.

"Hello?"

"Hi Grayson, I was wondering if you and Ethan have any spare time."

"Today evening?"

"From now until around 7 or 8."

"Sure, feel free to come over. Melissa's coming too, right?"

I felt a pang of jealousy, and I tried not to make it obvious in my voice. "Yeah."

"Okay, bye, love you."

"Bye."

I rolled my eyes, frustrated. I just wanted Grayson to stop toying with me. I wouldn't care if he choose Melissa over me, as long as he told me he didn't want me anymore. I would try my best to be happy for them. But he continues not to admit it. That's why I'm mad at him. And he still says he loves me? Poor Melissa. I ran a hand through my hair, tangling it, and sighed.

I knocked on the door of their apartment and heard "I'll get it!" muffled by the door, followed by footsteps. It was Ethan who opened the door.

"Hi Syd," he said, grinning.

"Hey," I smiled back. "Is Melissa here yet?"

"Yeah, she's in the living room with Grayson. They're watching TV."

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. "Okay! Thanks Ethan."

I walked into the living room and saw them watching Frozen. I sat down next to Grayson, so that he was in the middle, with me on his right, and Melissa on his left.

"Hi!" Melissa waved at me, from around Grayson. She went back to watching the movie, giving us a little more privacy.

Grayson smiled at me. "Hey baby," he said, placing a kiss on my forehead. I let him do so to see Mel's reaction. However, she didn't even turn around. Why would she let her "boyfriend" call someone else baby?

"Hi Gray," I replied. Grayson laced his fingers through mine.

By the time the movie finished, Grayson and Melissa had both dozed off. With a pang, a realized her head was resting on his shoulder, in a couple-y fashion.

I got up and walked over to where Ethan stood, humming, in the kitchen. "What were you doing while we were watching Frozen?" I asked.

"Editing our latest video," he replied smiling. He handed me a glass of hot coffee. "Here. I made this for you."

"Thank you," I said, taking the steaming cup. I took a sip and glanced warily at Grayson and Melissa. They were still sleeping.

"Do you want to play chess?" Ethan asked me.

"I call white," I grinned.

Ethan rolled his eyes teasingly, and I laughed.

Maybe this won't be so bad, I thought.

We had been playing chess for 15 minutes now. It was my turn, and I thought about where I could move my pieces, when I saw a way to checkmate him. I trapped his king with my queen and knight.

"Checkmate!" I beamed.

"Good game," Ethan said.

I heard a rustling noise coming out of the living room. I looked at Ethan and we both knew that it was Grayson. I felt a sudden burst of ambition. If Grayson and Melissa were going to cheat on us, we might as well flirt with each other too.

I held Ethan's hand, deciding to do it underneath the table as Grayson walked into the kitchen. His jaw dropped and I said "good game" while shaking Ethan's hand and giggling flirtatiously. I watched Grayson leave the kitchen, biting his lip, and felt a pang as he sat next to Melissa and put his arm around her shoulders. Whether it was because he had no one else to go to, because he loves her, or because he wanted to make me jealous, I'll never know. Will he ever be truly mine again? Was he ever truly mine?

Grayson and Ethan invited me and Melissa for dinner that night. We went to a restaurant called True Love's Kiss.

"How romantic!" Mellisa beamed at Grayson. "Great choice Grayson!"

I felt anger strike me in waves. I balled my hands into fists and opened my mouth to tell Melissa that Grayson was my boyfriend- even though he technically wasn't- when I felt someone touch my hand. I looked beside me and saw Ethan shaking his head. I sighed sadly.

"Come on, let's go inside," I said. Grayson nodded in agreement. As we entered the restaurant, I noticed that Melissa was staring at Grayson. I want to punch her until she apologized, but I held it in me. We sat down, and I took a chair next to Ethan and Melissa. Melissa smiled at Grayson, and I feel jealousy and anger. Ethan patted my arm, sympathy in his eyes.

"I'm going to use the restroom," Grayson announced after eating his chicken tenders.

I nodded as he left the table. Melissa stood up and walked towards the restroom after Grayson. I turned away bitterly, wondering what they were going to do in there. I covered my mouth as I saw a hand pull Melissa into the boy's restroom. What will go on in there, between Mel and Gray? I wondered.

"What's wrong?" Ethan asks.

Biting my lip, I explained what I just saw. "Grayson pulled Melissa into the restroom."

Ethan's eyes widened, soon turning hard with anger.
