Reina

It's now March. Meaning I've officially been here for two months. Graduation is only three months away! Damn I can't wait. It's Friday and this weekend my brother is out of town for work which means I can sit back and relax. For the past two weeks Ethan has been acting strange.. He's been avoiding me and ignoring my calls/texts. I've tried talking to him in the halls and he ignores me or walks away before I get close to him. I've tried talking to him in class and shocker, he gives me the silent treatment.

What did I do?

*Health & fitness*

I change into my gym clothes and put my hair into a messy pony tail, then jog out onto the court to start our daily stretches. I spot Grayson. Perfect. This is my chance to see if he knows why Ethan is avoiding me...

"Gray!" I say jogging over to him.
He looks at me with an annoyed look on his face. He deeply sighs, "What Torres?"  I roll my eyes.
"Listen Dolan, I'm not here for you. I'm strictly here about your brother." I snap. He sends a glare towards my way and I smirk at him knowing that I caught him off guard with my attitude.
"Why do you want to talk to me about my brother? You here to confess your love for him or something?" He shoots back with a devilish grin followed by a giggle. What an ass.
I shake my head and glare at him. "Ha. Ha. Very funny. But no. I came to you to ask if you know why he's avoiding at all costs. " I say now crossing my arms. He chuckles, "You ever thought maybe he's bored with you?"
I'm taken back by his response. Is he right? Was I not interesting enough? Was he only my friend cause he wanted to use me?
No, that can't be true....can it?

"Face it Torres. I think we both know the real reason you're here talking with me," He pauses and steps closer. Our faces now only inches apart. I feel my cheeks start to heat up. I can feel his hot breath on my face.
What is he doing?
He continues, "You're actually here for me...and if that's what you're here for then let's make it happen, princess." He says in a deep tone. Grayson puts one hand on my waist and the other on my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. I freeze not knowing what to do. I can feel myself blushing a little. shiiit. Then he steps back and starts laughing.
"Horny bastard." I say rolling my eyes at him. I cannot even deal with his bullshit right now.
"Aww, come on Torres you know you want me." He says through his laughing fit. I just stand there annoyed. He winks at me then turns around on his heel and trots to his groups of jocks on the other side of the court...

Fuuuck.

Grayson

Finally the bell rings for this shit hole we call school to be over for the day. Man that girl, Reina, I think that's her name..Now I gotta talk to my idiot brother about his 'actions' towards that Reina girl. Actually, I'll just stick to calling her Torres. I head to my car and put my bags in the trunk, then open the door and put the key in the ignition.

*arrives home *

Home at last. Hey, I just realized it's Friday. Liiiiit! Okay. Focus Gray, focus. I walk in the front door kick off my shoes and drop my bags by the door. I walk over to the family room and plop on the couch. "Hey! E!" I shout waiting for a response. I hear his door open and then hear footsteps coming down the flight of stairs. "Hey Gray what's up?" He says sitting in the love seat across from me. I sit up and give him a serious look.
"You wanna tell me why that Torres girl came up to me in gym class today, demanding I tell her why you've been avoiding her?" I say clearly annoyed. Ethan takes a moment and clears his throat, "Ummm.. I couldn't tell you why she came to you." He replies confused but not bothered. I nod my head, "Okay. Well, why are you supposedly 'avoiding' her?"
To be honest I'm a little curious. He never turns his head from a hot chick.
He takes a deep breath before answering, "Because I can't be apart of her life right now, things are just too complicated. Even if we are just friends. I don't want to hurt her, Gray." He says softly. I nod understanding. I know he has some issues to work out, but I don't think he's being fully honest. There's something else bothering him. "Do you like her?" I blurt out. He shoots his gaze from his lap to me so fast he could've broken his neck. Aw. He totally digs her ;)

"N-No. I-I don't know. Even if I did, I can't be with her." He admits.
"C'mon E. If you like her then be with her. If you don't like her, then I guess you won't mind if I hit that." I say with a sly grin. He shoots up from the seat, tackles me to the ground and has me in a choke hold. Ha, I think I hit a nerve. "I swear to God if you lay a hand or even a finger on her, I will beat the living shit out of you. I don't care if you're my brother, she's not like other girls that you can hook up with and then leave heart broken. She's different." He growls. I giggle at his words and actions. "Noted, grumpy." I respond. he sighs, then releases me and stomps up to his room slamming the door.
I know he has anger issues and I know he's been in some deep shit in the past...But last I knew he hasn't gone back to that...I still feel like there's something deep down that he's either afraid of or its really bad.. He wouldn't just stop being friends with someone if he didn't have a valid reason.. what the fuck is he up to? What's so bad that he won't even tell his twin brother!?
Not gonna lie I'm a little pissed, we tell each other EVERYTHING. and when I say 'everything' I mean it. We share anything and everything with one another.

"C'mon E! Get it together, man. Damn." I say to myself.
