malia's pov

i walked towards my locker where thomas and tyler was waiting for me

"oh. here you go. i rechecked everything and it's good," tyler pulled out my homework that i asked him to double check the difficult problems.

i smiled at his kindness as i opened my locker, "thank you so much."

"always love to help," he grinned as he grabbed the straps of his backpack.

my phone rang from a notification.

"ugh. i'll see you guys later, i have to meet up with grayson," i told them annoyingly after i read the message.

they nodded their head in response.

i shut my locker and started to walk towards grayson locker with a bored mood.

turning around the corner, i see grayson and his friends and a few other girls surrounding cameron and alex.

"come here," grayson puts his arms out while i walked closer to him.

i went into his arms, hugging him around his torso.

"fucking hell," i mumbled to myself.

"hey. i'm having a party tomorrow night. wanna come?" one of the girls said to the whole group.

"how about-" i said before grayson cut me off.

"we'll be there," he smiled, forcing me to go.

i squinted my eyes as him as he just gave me a bigger smile, he knows he's annoying me.

"i'm not going," i stated like nothing is going to change my mind.

"come on. it'll be fun if everyone comes," she begged.

"no," i said bluntly as i shook my head.

the girl sigh then looked at grayson, "bring your girl. you can't have her miss out."

"i will try," he shrugged, knowing that i'm not easy.

out of nowhere, the girl got pulled backwards by another girl.

madison.

"are you fuckers even a real couple?" she said immediately.

"yeah, why? you mad?" grayson smirked.

"bullshit," she stated like a fact.

"says you," he defended.

"prove it," she smirked back with her arms crossed.

"we have nothing to prove to you," i responded.

she puts her hand over her chest while fake gasping, "not even a kiss to prove it? y'all must be a joke."

"isn't that what you are though?" i asked in a curious tone, causing grayson's friends to go 'ohhh'

she scoffs, "you think you're fucking miss popular or something."

"at least i don't try to become one for attention," i responded.

"you're the most downgrading person anyone could go for," she said spitting a little bit in my face.

a few people started to slow down the hallway, eves-dropping.

i looked behind me to see ethan, not surprised by this.

"watch what you say to my girl," grayson speaks up in a low tone.

"you said you loved me!" she pointed at grayson with her index finger, getting upset.
