*the next day*
Teresa's POV
Me: you got me sprung
Grayson: you? sprung? over me?
Grayson: funny joke
Me: i'm serious Grayson
Grayson: are you just playing with me?
Me: i just want to talk to you on the phone
Grayson: okay what's your #?
Me: xxx-xxx-xxxx
Grayson: alright let me find my earphones
I wait for a few minutes and a number calling me pops up on my screen. I answer it.
"Hey."
"So what do you wanna talk about?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do," he chuckles.
"These weeks, that we've hung out.. I feel myself attracted to you even more every day."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"Are you just messing with me?"
"Why would I lie about how I feel? What is the point of playing someone so dirty?"
"True."
"I just think about you a lot."
"When you feel lonely?"
"No! Oh my god. You're ruining this moment for me !" That comment disturbed me an awful lot.
"I'm just kidding," he chuckles.
"Good." I clear my throat. "I just started liking you a lot, you know? No boy ever made me feel so good like this."
"Awe, I feel special now."
"Yeah, you should. I don't usually tell people how I feel about them. Unless they're annoying, then yeah, I would tell them they're annoying."
"Yikes, good thing you didn't tell me that."
"Hmm, now that I think of it.."
"Oh wow!" He laughs. What a beautiful laugh he had. Just by listening to it, it was music to my ears.
"Is that Teresa you're talking to?" I hear someone in the background. Probably Ethan.
"Shut the fuck up," I hear Grayson yell.
"Aye! Nice pictures Teresa!" I hear Ethan she laugh.
Did he actually say that? I didn't believe what he said. My chest suddenly hurt. I haven't felt this chest pain in while and it sucked a lot. I wasn't sad but I was furious. Hatred towards Grayson started to grow inside of me. Grayson showed Ethan the pictures. He just tried to get in my pants this whole time. I even told him how I felt about him. I hung out with him. We got to know each other and I let my fucking guard down with him. He took advantage of that. The real question here is how could I be so stupid?
"What the fuck, Ethan! Get out of here you fucking dickhead!" Grayson says and I hear a slam.
"Hey, Teres-"
I ended the call.

lesson of the day: don't let your guard down with a boy . it was a huge ass mistake that i committed.
