Won't It Be Wonderful

Chapter 5

"Okay one more time from the top la garre saint lazre was significant to the movement because.." I began with aggressive hand motions willing Gray to remember.

"Ah ah.... Ohhh because it used the in air style in an industrial setting"- he answered simply shocked by his display of intelligence.

"Yessss" I jumped up and down so excited and ended up tackling him into a hug out of mix of crazed exhaustion and being proud of him. And as I got out of the hug the extended eye contact we held made me realized that may have been a mistake. It was 2 am on a Thursday night the day before our first presentation and we had been working for hours. But after hours of work and many pieces of pizza we were finally done.

"I better go it really late." I said as I stifled a yawn

"No you're way too tried to drive just spend the night" he offered as if it was no big deal when it absolutely positively was.

"Um I don't know wouldn't that be kinda"

"No dummy you would spend the night in the guest room" turning as bright red as a tomato I nodded in agreement.

...

Let's just say that was an interesting Friday morning. There is nothing quite like pulling into school with the most popular guy in his white jeep wrangler. Especially when you're well me. It was made even more awkward by the fact that everyone has snap maps and I knew exactly where I spent last night.

"I'll see you in first period," I said trying to seem cool before positively sprinting inside.

Molly, Grace, and Hope were all waiting by my locker. Hope looked excited, Molly disapproving, and Grace just interested. "I slept in the guest room we were up late working on the project and please for the love of god drop it." You see here's the wonderful thing about best friends they can basically read your mind. They know where the line is and when it is ok to shove you over it or just drop the subject. The topic was officially dropped to discuss the much more pressing issue of our outfits for tonight's game and after party.

Grace and I skipped our way to art history (because why not we are seniors after all). As Grace slipped into the doorway my path was blocked by an unexpected and familiar brick wall...Finn.

"Why the fuck did you spend the night at Grey Wilson's house?" he looked on the verge of steam coming out of his ears.

"Okay first of all. Hello to you too Finn and yes I am wonderful thanks for asking." I responded

"Come on Wills I'm serious" and he did that thing with his eyes where they become giant puppy dog eyes that make every girl go crazy lucky for me it has no impact...well maybe a little.

"It was a school project and obviously nothing happened" I smiled up at his face willing him to calm down "I'll see you tonight after the big game okay"

"Okay" he replied with the faintest of smiles I reached up on my tippy toes to give him a hug.

Tonight was going to be interesting.
