Against All Odds

First day

It's my first day as a junior at Dawson high school, I'm pretty nervous but I have a good group of friends so i think i'll be okay. I woke up early.  I couldn't decide on an outfit, but I decided on jean shorts with a black top. I curled my pin straight light brown hair and wore birkenstocks.  I got my license a couple months ago so me and my friend Olivia drove together. We walk in the doors and start looking for our first period. We both have math with Mr.Wilson. "So i've heard Mr.Wilson is a good teacher, right?" Olivia asked, "Yeah, he seems fine...hopefully." We are almost to his class when I hear a familiar deep voice behind me. My heart suddenly speeds up. "Lace! LACEY!" Greyson practically screams down the school hall. "Olivia i'll just meet you in the class, okay?" Before she can respond i'm already to Greyson. "Why the hell didn't you send me your schedule last night like i asked?" I can hear the anger in his voice, but we're at school. What could happen? "I-I feel asleep i'm sorry Greyson" I hope he doesn't hear the shakiness in my voice. "I told you I need your schedule so I know who you will be with when i'm not with you." He's mad, I can hear it in his voice. I haven't made a simple mistake like this with him in a while. "Your right, i'm sorry we should really need to get to class thou—" Before I can finish my sentence the warning bell rings finally I think to myself. "Lace don't think you will get away with this." I speed walk to class as the bell rings as I walk in.  "Not a good start on the first day Miss.Lacey" Mr.Wilson stated. Ughhh, I know today won't be a good start. I get out my phone while Mr.W is going over class rules and text Greyson my schedule. Immediately he responds 

Greyson: Great, we have second period together. Don't go far i'll walk you to class after this period ends. 

Me: Greyson is that really necessary? You're upstairs already no need to come downstairs to walk right back up.

Greyson: Yes don't question me again.

The bell rings, and sure enough, Greyson is already waiting on me. I say bye to Olivia and walk with Greyson to science, Mrs.Smith. We get there after a few minutes of awkward silence in the hall. I get assigned in a seat next to Maverick, ughhh I swear he's so gross he's probably had sex with half the girls at school. Maverick may be 6'3 with brown curly hair and dark brown eyes, i'm 5'4 sooo, he may be tempting, but  all the girls he's been with i can tell he doesn't take things serious like dating. "Mrs.Smith can I sit by Parker, pleaseee?" Maverick asks. Does he think I want to sit next to him? "No." Mrs.Smith says with a serious look. Mrs.Smith goes over a project "Okay class, I will assign your partners," *ughhh* the class says "Lucy you're with Emily, Greyson and Parker, Maverick and Lacey..." Oh no! I block out the other partners she lists. This is TERRIBLE! Omg Greyson will not have this. A "Getting to know each other project this is so stupid!" Maverick stated, "Oh really? State the obvious." I say jokingly. Class ends and Maverick got my number since we won't have time to do the work in class. I hear Greyson come up behind me. "Lace he's not good. I don't you working together. I will be present when you're with him." "Whatever Greyson." Shockingly, the day goes by smoother. I get home and mom asks how my first day went, "Hey mom, it was definitely something...I got partnered with the school playboy Maverick. Anyway, it wasn't too bad." "Oh, that doesn't sound fun!" she says. Maverick is already texting me. 

Maverick: My house  6:30 project 

Me: Can't Greyson isn't free. 

Maverick: Wtf does he have anything to do with this? Anyways if you aren't here you're on your own. 

Me: Fine i'll be there don't tell Greyson, please?

Maverick: wtv 

I get to Mavericks house and we go up to his room. He's home alone and damn, his house is big. "Ya done inspecting my house?" Maverick blurted, "No, it's really...clean and big!" I replied awkwardly. "Mhm," he muffled. "Anyway let's get started i'll start by asking you the questions first." I stated, "So.." Maverick interrupts me "No. I'll ask first," "Ok whatever"  I replied.  He starts with the first question "What was your fav thing you did over the summer?" "Umm I went on a cruise, how bout you?" I asked back, "I saw my dad." He said, "YOU HAVE A DAD?!!?" I practically screamed, I honestly didn't know he had one I mean of course he does but he's always been known to not have a dad i guess. "Yes, Lacey I have a dad," he chuckles. The rest of the night went smoothly. He really isn't too bad, and he actually did his part of the assignment. I get home and immediately get a text from Maverick. What does he want now?

Maverick: Had fun...you aren't as bad as I thought. Sorry abt earlier ya know asking Mrs.Smith to switch me seats...

Me: It's fine, I had fun to see you tomorrow. 

Maverick: Ok goodnight.

I don't respond. I know I can't risk Greyson seeing this he would absolutely freak. He did nothing about the schedule, I guess it wasn't that big of a deal, but if he found out about me going to Mavericks, I can't even imagine what would happen. I start getting ready for bed when I get a text,

Greyson: Open your window, now. 

Me: What? 

Greyson: Please Lace i'ts raining out.

Me: Hmmm ok coming 

Greyson: yayyy

Sometimes I forget everything Greyson does and focus on the good parts. Like now, we are lying in my bed cuddling like we are the perfect couple.  Greyson is 6'0 with dirty blonde hair and grey eyes. "I love you," he whispered. "I love you too," I replied. He kisses my head and we fall asleep. We set an alarm for 3:00 AM, so Greyson can sneak out. My mom knows we're dating...but if she found out we do this, she would kill us. The alarm goes off, and he kisses me goodbye. "Good bye Lace see you tomorrow, love you," he says "Bye Greyson, love you."  I say.
