Ethan's POV

As I strode over to Blake in the cafeteria, I couldn't help but notice Grayson and Cassidy, laughing and smiling at each other, Grayson giving her a peck on the cheek and Cassidy giggling cutely.

I should have been Grayson, kissing her.

I went over to the table where Blake and I would sit but she wasn't there. I asked a few of her dumb friends if they had seen her, but they just looked at each other nervously.

"She's in the toilet!"

"She's outside!"

"She's getting her lunch!"

They all cried at the same time something different. Something was wrong.

"Look," I started, leaning on the table with stretched arms. "If you guys don't tell me where she actually is-"

"Okay!" the brunette one cried, looking at her friends, wide-eyed, because there was no point fighting with me.

"She's in the janitor's closet." sighed the blond one, closing her eyes, "But that's all she told us!"

I left without even thanking them.

Something was wrong.

Th janitor's closet was all the way to the other side of the school, so whatever Blake was hiding, it wouldn't be good.

Soon, I was turning the corner to the deserted corridor at the very back of the school, the janitor's closet at the end of the hallway.

I stood outside for a few seconds before barging into the room, taking deep, hard breathes.

Blake was in Jase, the football star of the school's arms, her hands roaming all over his body. They were sticking their tongues down each other's throats, and the sight was disgusting. They were doing other things too.

I immediately looked away, not wanting to see anymore.

Blake dropped down from his arms, her face scared and surprised. But Jake just stood there.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!" I yelled at her, immediately stomping down the hallway. She stopped me and backed me up to the end of the corridor, telling Jake to leave.

"Ethan-"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE OF YOUR APOLOGIES YOU FUCKING BITCH!" I yelled at her.

"Ethan, that was nothing-"

"NOTHING?!" I continued, "SURE! IT WAS NOTHING, HOW YOU STUCK YOUR TONGUE DOWN HIS THROAT!"

"He's nothing to me, you mean much more! He's a stupid jerk!"

"A STUPID JERK WHO YOU USED TO CHEAT ON ME!"

"Ethan please!"

"HOW DO YOU STILL FUCKING BELIVE THAT I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK!" I felt gutted, "YOU WERE THE ONE WHO DID EVERYTHING IN THE RUMOURS ABOUT CASSIDY. YOU FUCKING MADE THEM UP!"

"Ugh, whatever," she turned around to grab her bra from the Janitor's closet and ran after Jase.

Cassidy's POV

Rumours in this school go around fast.

The day that u got my double detention, Ethan had apparently broken up with Blake.

Inside I was amused. But then I snapped out of it and reminded myself I was with Grayson.

"You want to come over to mine after this?" Grayson whispered to me, as he looked around the silent, 'detention' room.

"Sorry, I have double." I rolled my eyes at the small teacher who was in charge of the detentions today. No one else was in the room. And our teacher was engulfed in a big book.

Then I realised, I can just skip out of this classroom and she won't notice.

I gestured over to Grayson to follow me, and I got up swiftly from my seat. I moved to the door cautiously, opening the door handle as quietly as I could and slipped out.

Then I tripped. Of course.

I tripped on my own sneaker, and the irritating squeaky noise of a trainer making contact with a shiny floor echoed around the room.

Grayson was in mid-way of getting out of the room and he scrunched up his face as I got up. I blushed a little as the teacher called at us. We turned around slowly.

"W-where do you g-guys think y-you're going?!" her voice trembled, and I felt a little sorry for her.

"No where." Grayson snapped and slammed the classroom door. He grabbed my arm which wasn't bandaged and he dragged me down the hallway as I laughed uncontrollably.

••••

We had gone to my house and studied together for about 20 minutes before we got carried away and jumped out of my window to mess around outside with our longboards.

As we skated through our street, a chilly wind blew Gray's hair and I stared at him.

He was so hot.

I had been wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and shorts (I don't even know why, it was the middle of winter), and the wind started to grow stronger. I embraced myself to keep warm, but Grayson stopped himself and I from boarding.

"Here," he was taking off his hoody when I said:

"No! It's okay!"

"Oh shut up," he chuckled and flung it on, throwing it to me. I didn't resist and put it on. It smelt off his scent strongly.

"I think we should go back now," Grayson picked up his board and started towards the house.

"Ride then," I rolled my eyes and laughed as I rode on the board down the street.

Rain started to drizzle heavily on us as we ran up the steps to my house. We dropped out boards on the floor and went to the kitchen to eat something.

"Did," I started, "Did you hear about Ethan breaking up with Blake?"

"Uh, yeah. I'm so happy, but he's still an asshole. He probably still believes in all those rumours about you." he rolled his eyes and grabbed a cookie from the packet.

"I don't think so," I muttered, but cleared it up with a cough.

"Why? Do you like him?" he eyed me mysteriously while stuffing a cookie in his mouth.

"Jealous much?" I laughed, going over to hug him. "Of course I don't like him, I like you." I buried my face in his chest as he wrapped his big, muscular arms around my small back.

"Now that we're talking about this," he lifted my face up to his, "You know when I said I loved you? Do you love me?"

Ethan's POV

Grayson was at Cassidy's, of course, and I was stuck at home doing the dishes from that morning.

I was thinking about how I could tell Cassidy I liked her. But then I snapped out of it.

How could I tell her I liked her if she was with Grayson for God's sake!

When I finished, I picked up my phone and called Aaron and Jake.

••••

We were lying on the sofa when I had told them I liked her.

"Woah, dude." Aaron sighed, massaging his forehead, "That's tough!"

"Yeah! I mean, your brother has her, though." exclaimed Jake.

"But, I really, really like her. I have been for ages. Maybe from the day we met. If I had just not been with Blake, maybe things would have been different." I started to blame everything on myself.

"Hey, bro, don't blame it on yourself! You didn't know she was going to be the new girl!"

"Yeah but, what was I thinking? Blake?!" I cried, but there was nothing I could do now.

"Look, I would tell her how you feel, so that you guys don't have to keep ignoring each other." offers Jake.

"Yeah I guess." I sighed, finishing the matter, "You guys want food?"
