*Okay so I've said before that I will try to involve other characters more
in the story but truth is that it just haven't worked out that way, It's
basically just revolved mainly around Eli and Graces characters. So while
the story's going to continue to be based around them I will try and
involve other characters and touch on other storylines. I do plan on a
second season of the story eventually which will also be based on Jessie's
character*
Chapter 20 | Just an act
"Imagine seeing you here" Grace heard a familiar voice from behind her. She looked up from her book to see who it was, "Oh, it's you, hi". "Is that all I get, an 'oh, it's you'?" Matt asked jokingly. "So really, I didn't think you'd be the type to be found sitting in the library reading" "There's a lot you don't know about me," Grace said, turning around fully now. "So I see, listen I have to go" Matt started, leaning backwards slightly, his hands in his pockets, "but how 'bout I meet you by your locker at the start of lunch"
[Grave- . . . should I? . . . I barely just broke up with Eli- Shakes head- Idiot! This guys obviously not looking for a girlfriend, just some fun . . . and it's not like it's a date or anything]
"Yes," Grace blurted out, then turned red. "I mean, that would be . . .okay".
[Grace- Idiot, Idiot, Idiot]
"See you then," Matt said with a smirk, obviously laughing at her embarrassment.
"I was thinking maybe we could eat lunch outside today" Felicity kept up her endless chatter as they walked towards their lockers after class.
[Grace- That girl sure can talk . . .lunch? oh shit!]
"Umm actually, do you mind if I have lunch with someone else this afternoon" Grace asked hesitantly, biting her lower lip. Felicity looked at her curiously, "so this person is a guy, obviously" she laughed seeing the guilty look on Graces face. "Don't worry about it, so who's the lucky guy". Grace looked down at the floor, "just some guy ". Felicity stared down the corridor and her face broke out into a huge smile, "Your having lunch with my brother!" Grace looked up surprised, "How did you know?" "Because he's waiting for you by your locker". Grace looked down the hall, sure enough there was Matt. "You don't mind?" Grace asked, when she saw that Felicity was still smiling. "Nah it's cool. Just as long as you guys don't start kissing and stuff in front of me," she laughed at the shocked look on Graces face. "We're not . . . I'm not . . .we aren't" she stammered. "I was just joking. Just be careful okay"
"So how come you guys moved?" Felicity asked Matt after swallowing a bite of her sandwich. "The usual, our parent's split up and our mother decided she wanted a change of atmosphere, or so she says". "So I take it your not to happy about being here?" Grace asked questioning.
[Grace- Maybe I'm being too pushy?]
"No offence or anything but this place isn't much like Seattle" "Non taken" "But anyway, enough about me," Grace let out a small groan. " Yep and more 'bout me" Matt laughed, "Okay so what do you want to know?" "You could start by telling me who that guy over there is" "What guy?" Grace asked looking around. "That guy staring at you from the basketball courts" Grace turned in that direction and caught sight of Eli, who turned away just as her eyes met his. "Oh him," Grace muttered. "So do I sense some bad history?" Matt asked with a smirk. "Grace rolled her eyes. "I guess you could say that" she said, catching Eli's eye again. "I think I might be able to help you with that, Matt smiled, reaching over and taking her hand.
[Grace- . . . . .?]
Grace looked at him quizzically. "Just umm, follow my lead" Matt said, leaning in towards her with a smile. "But . . ." "Just relax" Matt whispered, his lips brushing against hers, Grace hesitated but then over his shoulder saw Eli watching them. Allowing Matt to draw her closer, she let her body relax against as he deepened the kiss, the whole time keeping her eye on Eli.
"Matt. . . don't," Grace said pulling back slightly as she felt his hand on her thigh. "Sorry" Matt apologised, pulling away. "I just sought of got caught up in the moment".
[AT THE SAME TIME]
Eli stared across at Grace and the guy he'd seen the other day, they were sitting there, in a clear view of everyone, kissing.
"Eli, wake up man!" Eli tore his eyes away from his ex girlfriend, ex; it felt so weird thinking those words. Ex.
[Eli- It was your choice man.]
With one last look over his shoulder he forced his attention back to the game.
Zoe and Lily had just gotten home after school when they heard the phone ring.
"Zoe can you get that!" Lily called from where she was getting changed in her room. "Hello?" "Hi Zoe? Its Judy"
[Zoe- Oh my god! -Jumps up and down with excitement]
"Hi Judy" Zoe squealed excitedly. "Can I speak to your mum?" "Ok" said Zoe happily.
"Mum! Judy's on the phone!" Zoe called, just as Lily walked into the room. "Judy?" Zoe nodded, handing her the phone.
"Judy, hi" "Hey Lily, listen I was wondering whether you'd actually be able to come pick me up?" "Pick you up? From where? What happened?" Lily asked worriedly. "Sorry, listen I'll explain it all later but I'm at the airport so would you-" "Umm sure, I'll be there as soon as I can".
"Table for four" It was Wednesday after school and Grace was working her second shift at her father's restaurant. "Right this way" Grace spoke leading the couple and two children over to a table.
[Grace- I really shouldn't have kissed him, I was just trying to make Eli jealous, and that's all it was, an act from both parts. So why did it feel- ]
"Excuse me Miss?" "Yes?" Grace asked politely, turning back to the table. "Could we have some water please?" [Grace- . . .why did it feel so real?]
