SCARLETT'S POV

I've only made one friend in the past week of being at this school.

Grayson Dolan.

turns out he's ethan's twin, which makes sense considering they look extremely similar to one another. but grayson is different. he doesn't give off that "arrogant asshole" vibe, unlike ethan.

on my first day of school he walked into lunch after me, sitting across the table from me. I was sitting all alone with my earphones in until he walked up.

*back on the first day of school*
(still scarlett's pov)

I sat at the lunch table all alone. I acted like it didn't bother me to be more of a loner. but, deep down it kinda hurt. I sighed and put in my earbuds, playing my rock playlist on spotify. the first song to come on was 'I Get Off' by Halestorm. I played around with the food on my red school lunch tray with my plastic fork when I saw someone sit across from me through my peripheral vision.

I looked up to see a boy in a 1975 black tee shirt and black adidas pants. his hair was slightly pushed up and put up to the side with gel. he had a single dangly earring of an angel wing. he smiled at me with his straight white teeth before speaking. when all I saw was his mouth moving, I realized I still had my earbuds in.

"I'm sorry, what?" I spoke ripping out my earbuds.

he slightly chucked before speaking again. "hi, I'm grayson. what's your name?"

"uhh, Scarlett." god why am I so awkward.

"well nice to meet you. I saw you sitting all alone so I figured I'd come introduce myself. plus, it looks like we have similar interests." he smiled without teeth, point to my metallica shirt.

"heh, yeah

"heh, yeah.." I mumble.

"what are you listening to?" he tries to keep the conversation going.

he picks up my earbuds and puts it in. he nods his head to the music for a few seconds before taking it back out, placing it on the marble looking table.

"halestorm, huh?" he asks.

"yeah.. I love them honestly. and metallica, obviously." I motioned at my shirt, trying to be a little less awkward.

"like I said, similar interests. so what's a pretty girl like yourself doing sitting all alone?" he smiled cheekily.

"oh, uh, well. I'm new here. It's my first day." I blush, pushing a strand of my brown hair behind my pierced ear.

"don't worry, I'll keep you company at lunch. it's not that bad here, I think you'll make friends fairly quickly." he gives me a reassuring smile. I return the favor.

*end of throwback*

he kept his promise, he has kept me company at lunch. he's really sweet and grunge like me and we just click. I'm thankful I actually have a friend.
