i looked around, Ethan and Mars were both gone

Grayson sat next to the lake on his phone

"Where did they go?" i yelled to him

he shrugged his shoulders

"Mars, Ethan?" i yelled getting out of the lake

i sat down in the chair next to Grayson


he looked over to me then looked back to his phone

he's been acting weird since we got drunk together 


"what are you doing that for?" i squinted my eyes 

"doing what?" he looked back to me

"you keep acting weird and giving me side looks" 

"i'm not"

"yes you are"

"i'm not"

"yes"

"no"

"yes" we sounded like little kids


"before you would give me any f-boy comment, but now you keep to yourself" 

he licked the inside of his mouth

"this is the only time i'm deciding not to be a douche" he slouched into his chair

"why?"

"because you just had a break up" he said quietly

i didn't think he cared. 

"why does it matter to you? You don't care about me" i looked back to the lake

"i know what it's like to have a breakup" he looked to the lake too

i never even thought of him in a relationship, he doesn't seem like the type

the air around us felt gloomier


"just because i broke up with Justin-" the words i said gave me a realization,

 i'm not with Justin anymore. I don't have people like my mom bossing me around anymore. I'm free, i can do whatever i want. No rules, no expectations. Nothing.

"just because i'm broken up with Justin doesn't mean you have to act like i'm a porcelain doll"

he whipped his head to me

"so you want me to flirt with you?" he gave me a grin 

"not that-"

why not, i'm on vacation. Your over Justin.  I can flirt with Grayson now, i'm damn single.

"yea, i do" i stood up from my chair

he rose his eyebrow as he looked up at me

"but just so you know. I can play the same game you play" i gave him a smirk as i walked into the house


just saying that gave me adrenaline. Grayson is hot. He likes me, or at least wants my body. I can have him now, nothing is stopping me. 

I know he's willing to have a one night stand with me. I can have one now. And  people say i need a rebound or whatever


i'm going to get Grayson by the end of the spring break.

what the hell is wrong with you?
