A Daydream Away
Green-Eyed Monster
Alex's POV
So we had biotech lab today, which totally kicked my butt. And now I have calc, which isn't much better. But then I smile, because I remember that I just have this, and then choir again with Grace. Being around her just makes me....happy. Like it never has with any of the countless sluts I've been with. She's more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen before, and it's so sad because if I told her that, she wouldn't believe me.
I have lunch the same period as her too, right after choir. But I don't want to assume that we're friends and sit with her. On the other hand I want to get to know her better and spend more time with her. I just don't know how to bring it up with her. We've been talking a lot, and working VERY closely for science olympiad. It just pisses me off that she has to work with Matt in biotech, I know he's really mean to her. I just want to hold her and protect her.
And it scares the shit out of me. I'm a man-whore, plain and simple. I don't fall in love.
Grace's POV
I've been getting really close with Alex. And I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to get hurt again, and he's already dated like four girls here. But it seems like he doesn't care about them, and he spends a lot of time looking at me and calling me beautiful.
Not that I noticed.
I want to spend non-class related time with him, but I don't know how. Mostly, I want him to come have lunch with me and the guys. But I don't know how to ask him. I think he's probably too cool for it. And I don't want to ruin any chance I have of actually being friends with the guy. He's been hinting, or should I say I think he's been hinting, at wanting to spend real time with me. But I can't be sure. I've thought that before.
Well, it's almost the end of the first quarter of the year. It's starting to be time to make a move. So I'll do it, in choir today. All the guys know how I feel about him (or at least as much as I know) so they'll be cool with it. If you know, he accepts.
I tap my pencil, counting the minutes until I get out of AP Stat, so I can be with Alex again. It's funny, we have all of our classes together except for math. He's taking calc, which I took as a sophomore. I brought it up once, it didn't end well for me. Well it did, depending on how you look at it.
"What math do you have, Alex?"
"Calc."
I laughed. "I took that sophomore year. Is there finally something someone's not a genius in?" I said, teasingly.
He mocked offense, and then grinned evilly. "You're going to wish you hadn't said that, Gracie." And then he picked me up and put me on the floor, and tickle attacked me.
Rian walked into the lab, laughing. "You guys getting work done in here?"
"Yeah, Rian. Data's almost done, computer graphing now." Alex said, standing up and offering me a hand.
It was one of the best days of my high school life. I take a deep breath, walking into the auditorium. Luckily, I'm a tenor, so I get to stand next to Alex. It's great. His voice is amazing. Zack and Jack are both basses, so Alex and I spend a lot of time making faces at them.
"Hey, Gracie." Alex said, patting me on the head per usual.
I returned the favor, making him laugh. "It's not a tall people privilige, Mr.Gaskarth." I said sticking my tongue out at him.
He just laughed. "Hey, Alex?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you wanna maybe possibly come sit with me and the guys at lunch maybe I mean I don't know." I said it. I really did. His face takes a minute to register, and breaks out into my favorite lopsided grin of his.
"I'd love to."
Zack's POV
I'd love to. Well, I bet you would Alex. But you don't deserve Gracie. And I'll do my best to keep you two apart. I made a mistake and rejected her when she told me she liked me like that. But that doesn't mean you can have her, Alex.
Grace flashed me her famous smile and a thumbs-up. I couldn't help but smile back, but I was still pretty tense.
It's going to be an interesting lunch.
