Chapter 5 THE GAME

>GREY POV>

In my few stays at greenside high, I have discovered a few things that will destroy my mood in the morning. One of those things is idiot number one with her irritating behavior which seems to have captured the hearts of the naive. Sitting on a bench in the school courtyard during lunch hours, I watch her move with her charms, fake smile, and glamour clothes. Showing off her diamond engagement ring. Arousing envious chatters as she passed by.

Funny how I found the drama annoying but could not stop watching. "She makes me sick" I uttered unexpectedly.

"Well I agreed with you on that" Juliet joins me at the bench.

"Where are her minions" I wondered since she is walking alone.

"She did not want to share the spotlight" Juliet sighs "should I tell you something shocking"

"Sure" I replied

"She bought that ring herself"

"I am not surprised".

Juliet continues talking but I don't pay attention. I was distracted by a group of guys. I remember seeing them hanging at the front door on my first day here. They are all laughing about something. Maybe it's football or girls, boys don't stray too far from those two things. But it was hunter who caught my eyes. He seems happy talking with his guys. I don't think he is aware of the girls staring at him taking pictures.

"Hello, anyone home" Juliet snaps her fingers at me.

"Sorry" I apologized, coming back to reality. "What were you saying?"

"Nevermind" She stares in the direction of the guys. " oh it is hunter grey's hunter" she teased me.

"Yes hunter, is there a problem?"

"Wow a perfect smile plus he is so handsome" she hugs and wiggles me "doesn't he just take your breath away"

Is she daydreaming or something

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yes, why?" She looks up at me while her arms are still wrapped around me.

"Because yesterday you were telling me about his line of wannabe girlfriends today you are calling him Grey's hunter"

"What it's called opinion change"

"It is called having issues" I look back at hunter. But just as I'm about to look away, hunter's eyes met mine. He smiles and waves at me.

Okaaaaay. I wave back but awkwardly.

"I don't see Tony and his squad" my eyes search.

"Oh, that's because there is a private room where tony and the boys hang out during lunch break".

" I see"

"Let's head back inside for Miss Sarah's class" Juliet stands up with her snacks wrapped in her hand.

I look at my watch and I still got five minutes so I tell her to go ahead still have to finish my lunch. I wanted to go late so that by the time I get to class everyone must have taken their seat. Then I will know my partner. In less than a minute, students start leaving. Hunter comes over with his smile "are you okay, need an escort" he extends his hands.

"I am good, will follow soon" I smile back. "Alright suit yourself sugar" he leaves.

TONY POV

I am in the hallway leading up to the biology lab, scrolling through my phone gallery, looking at the car designs I designed when a message notification from Elena pops up.

Where are you

I ignore the message. Who does she think she is, just because we are engaged does not mean she gets to keep tabs on me. I look up and see grey in a black mini skirt showing off her long legs and a red sleeved top. I reduce my pace so she can be ahead of me as we walk to class.

What is going to be my first play?

I kept on thinking until we got to the lab. As she enters, she stops and stares at the two empty spots at the front close to the window. I stood right outside the door with my two hands in my pocket in this COOL GUY stance.

I guess I have found my partner. Why did she stop? She is disappointed to find the seat empty.

She goes over to miss Sarah desk "Excuse me it seems there was a mistake in the pairing----------- ". I grab her hand and pull her to the seat.

Ok, that was an unplanned move. It just occurred. I sit on my chair and stare in amusement grey shifting her seat from mine.

" is there a problem grey?" Miss Sarah glares at the grey above the glasses on her nose.

"Can I switch seats?" Grey says.

"No you can't, just have to make do with your partner". Miss Sarah smiles, seeing the frustrated look on their grey face. I am sure she is happy about a job well done. No one sat with their friends.

" sorry, grey but it seems you are stuck with me" I whispered into her ears.

"Ewww getaway" she pushes me away.

"Hey cut it out" miss Sarah yelled. "Noooo" grey groaned softly. Miss Sarah leans forward from her seat with her arms stretched on the table and her fingers locked. "Presentation is due in two weeks" there's a loud groan from the class. "Shut up! So I believe that you guys have started preparing your materials". She gets up with all vigor. " now we are going to try something new".

The class ended sooner than expected. Throughout the class, grey avoided eye contact with me. Her head was fixed in one position. The only time she talked to me was when we needed to work with each other. She got up real quick in a way that sends the message I CANT WAIT TO GET AWAY FROM HIM. I know she wants to but she doesn't have to make it obvious. "Grey please hold on" I reach for her hand. She turns to me, her eyes goinging to my hand on her. "Sorry," I said calmly, letting go. "I need to say something". She folds her arms and pays attention " you've got two minutes".

"Okay, I know we did not get off on the right track. I just want to say I am sorry"

"Okay you are forgiven" she turns to take her to leave. Wait just like that. I reach for her hand again and this time, she throws a dark glare at me. "Sorry" I let go of her hand "let me make it up to you" my mind goes to dinner but I am not going to say that, it is too soon. It will set her off. Right now I am blank. I am never blank. I always got something to say but now I got nothing.

"Make it up to me by being serious in this project" she places a hand on my shoulders and brings her face closer to mine. "I do not want to fail" she spoke in a serious tone. I don't quite understand what just happened. I am the one who is meant to be in control but she was. She heads out of the class and bums into hunter. "Hey, sugar seems like fate has set you in my path" he is all smiles.

Fate seriously hunter

"Well all I need to do is get out of your way," she said.

Ha! That's a right grey good girl

"Just kidding" she continues with a friendly smile and a stroke on the hunter's shoulders.

"Ouch," hunter rubs his shoulders.

What is this? Ouch! She tapped you and ouch!

"I am going to hang out with some friends, want to come along?" He asks her in a shy manner.

Geez, why is he acting like this? How does he get girls?.

"No maybe next time"

"Alright. wait hold up? what is this" he grips her shoulders and pulls her closer

"What, what is it?" She is frightened.

"Oh, it's nothing just the sparkle of your beautiful eyes". I roll my eyes and head out of the class, shoving them aside to pass. I stood still outside in the parking lot " the sparkle of your beautiful eyes" I mimic hunter. "Whose beautiful eyes" Juliet comes out of nowhere. "None of your business" I brush her off. "Your fiance told me to tell you to please come over for dinner and she has been trying to reach you on your phone" she spoke with sarcasm. We got into the car and I put on my seat belt. My mind goes to what grey and hunter will be doing right now. "Sparkle blah blah blah" I muttered as I drove off.
