Hey Greyson

"Now, may I call Jade to perform Taylor Swift's 'Hey Stephen'" Mrs. Brown stated.

I entered this contest just to make Greyson notice me. Well, actually, I have been crushing on him since I was in 5th grade. Now, I'm a 6th grader. Greyson is a Soccer player in the school and not to mention the school's 'heartthrob'. Girls like him a lot. Even the popular ones. He's different from the other popular people in school. He's a nice person and teachers say they like him. I also heard he gets good grades. I think he hardly even notice me. I'm just there in the shadows, watching him as the girls go crazy on him. Whatever, I don't have a chance for him.

'Wait, that's why you entered the school's contest.'

Just great, my brain is talking to me. Alright, stop, stop.

I sighed and I was nervous, knowing that there are tons of people watching and Greyson is in front with a blonde girl who looked like in her late teens. I should break the ice. Just imagine that the audience are your loved ones. At least I'm loud around them. I held my guitar and went in front of the crowd. I mean, at the stage. I felt my hands sweat. Ugh, why can't I break the ice?! For a short while, I looked at the big audience and in front sits Greyson, giving me a smile and 'You can do it' look. Weird.

I sighed. I started playing the guitar.

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm I can't help myself

Some people jammed with me and this made me smile. I think people liked my performance or maybe is it just because of the song. Who cares? I'm here to perform. Then, the song is finally done. People clapped and even Greyson. I felt my face blush. I walked away and Greyson's smile swam through my head.

So, finally, it's the awarding. I only got second place and I'm contented with it. Small accomplishments are okay for me. At least I know I did very well. I walked home ALONE. My parents are just really busy with work and I don't have any siblings. I'm alone.

'Beep! Beep!' I turned around and saw a black van coming my way. It stopped in front of me. Wonder who's inside? I wish it's not a kidnapper.

The tinted windows rolled down and I saw Greyson inside with the blonde he was with earlier. My heart raced again. I can hardly breathe.

"Um, hey probably don't know me but, can I walk with you?" Greyson asked, innocently yet casual.

I bit my lip. Butterflies flew wildly inside my stomach. My heart pounded at its fastest rate.

"U-um su-sure" I stuttered. I wanna panic but it's embarrassing. My crush is in front of me. Greyson got out of the car.

"I'll be at Lily's house. Tell mom and dad I'll be home early" The blonde girl said.

"Okay, take care" Greyson said

Then, the blonde drove away. Greyson glanced at me. Damn, his hazel eyes are just too gorgeous.

"I loved your performance earlier" He said, striking up a conversation

"Um, tha-thanks" I stuttered. Ugh, butterflies again.

"You're Jade Williams. I know you. I heard you were a part of the school's choir" Greyson said

"You-you know me?" Oh man, butterflies once more.

"Yeah, once, before this contest, I heard you sing. I love your voice" He said

He knows me?! I think my heart is gonna explode.

"Oh um, thanks. You're also great at playing Soccer" I said. I don't know what to reply.

We both spent a lot of time getting to know each other and I think we became friends

'Meet me at the park at 11:30. We're going to sneak out'

Greyson sent me a message. We do this a lot ever since our friendship grew. We became best buds. I'm already 14 now and Greyson is 16

Since it's already 11. I wore a simple dark grey t-shirt, my black skinny jeans and my black and white converse. After dressing up, I realized it's already 11:30. I gotta go meet Greyson. I'm getting excited. I locked my door and climbed down the tree beside my window. After that, I headed for the park. There, I saw him talking with a girl. I got surprised. I haven't seen her anywhere but, to be honest, she's pretty.

"Oh Jade! I want you to meet Luna. My girlfriend" Greyson said with a smile

I felt my heart break in two. I'm hurt. Tears started to form

"Hi, Greyson has told me a lot about you" She smiled at me.

"Oh um, he did? O-okay" I stuttered. I'm preventing tears to escape.

"Uh, Jade? Are you okay?" Greyson asked, a little worried

"Yeah, I am. I think some dirt entered my eyes. Can you excuse me for a bit?" I said then I walked far from them. I don't want Greyson and Luna see me crying. Greyson broke my heart into two. Guess those signs weren't true.

[Next day]

Well, another day to participate in reality. Ugh. I can't move on from last night. I checked my phone and saw 12 missed calls from Greyson. Don't mind him. He broke my heart into two and now, I want to avoid him. My phone suddenly rang and Alexa is calling. It's just Alexa anyway. I answered it.

"Jade?" Alexa said in a husky tone

"Hey Alexa" I replied

"Can you go down to our house? I need help" Alexa asked

"Um yeah sure. I'll be there in a few" I answered

Then, we both ended our conversation. I went straight to the Chance's house. I hope Greyson isn't there. I'm already at their porch step. I pressed the doorbell and Alexa opened the door.

"Oh good you're here Jade, can you please reach that little box at the top?" Alexa pushed me all the way to some sort of room

"Why can't you handle it yourself?" I asked

"Erm, I have to clean the house. I just need a helping hand" She said

"Okay" I answered.

All of a sudden, she slammed the door shut and locked me inside.

"Alexa open the door!" I got mad. I kept on hitting the door

"I'm so sorry! Greyson ordered me to!" She answered

Wait, meaning to tell me that- - -

"Jade" It was Greyson behind me. I turned to face him.

"Oh, you" I replied

"Why didn't you answered my calls? Answer me honestly" He pleaded

"Why would you want to know?" I asked, a little bit irked

"Because I care for you. I know you were crying last night" He said

"I told you that some dirt entered my eyes, why can't you understand what I'm saying?" I asked, a little mad

"You like me!" Greyson bantered

I felt my face heat up. Butterflies roaming around again

"No I don't!" I protested, trying to cover up my blush

"Are you sure?" Greyson smirked

"Yes, I'm a hundred percent su- - -"

I was cut off by his soft lips. I felt fireworks and sparks. Butterflies were wildly flying around. He pulled away

"I called last night because I wanted to tell you that Luna and I broke up. We're fine with it since the spark is already gone" He said

Greyson held my hand. "I'm asking you Jade. Will you be mine?" He asked with a smile

I blushed to red. Butterflies once more. I answered with a 'Yes' and now, we're finally together
