I wake up, my eyes fluttering open to the light coming in through the curtains. I blink a few times as memories of last night flood my head. And I realize I'm alone in my room.

I sit up and I am now wide awake. I look over at the clock to see it's five AM. He didn't just leave, right?

The door soon opens and relief floods me as I see Gray walk in wearing a new pair of jeans, a black shirt and a leather jacket over it.

"About time you wake up," he says chuckling at me. 

I smile at him and slide out of bed.

"Morning to you too," I say, going over to my closet.

So last night really did happen. 

I pull out a pair of leggings and a blue t-shirt with a pair of athletic shoes that would work for wrestling and Gray's leather jacket. He heads over to me and gives me a quick kiss on the lips before walking out of the room.

I close the door behind him, how did I manage to get someone like him? How did last night even happen? How did us happen?

I quickly get dressed and put my hair in a ponytail, grabbing my bag as well as I head downstairs to meet Gray already ready to go. 

"So how do we want to explain this to the rest of the guys?" He says raising an eyebrow at me as we head to the front door.

"If it's my choice, I want my brother to be the last one to know," I say as we head out the front door.

He chuckles slightly.

"You taking your bike or riding with me?"

"I'm gonna take mine, it's faster."

"Oh really?" He says raising an eyebrow.

"I'll meet you there," I say smiling at him.

His smile copies mine before he heads to his bike. I start my bike as I slide on my helmet and gloves and Gray does the same. I follow behind him as we make our way to school, soon pulling in front of it.

"Look who got here first," he says over the communicator.

"I was pitying your bike, I could have smoked you if I wanted to," I retort.

We pull into the parking lot and the other guys and Willow watch us as we park next to them. He turns off his bike first as he parked first and I follow, putting my things away as they all come over to us.

"And where were you two?" L.J. asks crossing his arms.

"Her house," Gray says walking over to them as I sling my bag over my shoulder.

"Oh really?" Willow says smiling over at me.

I stand beside Gray and he wraps his arm around my side, pulling me closer to him and I wrap my arm around his side in return.

"So I take it we're missing something?" Trever asks.

"Yep," Gray says, quickly kissing me on the forehead.

"YES!!!" Willow screams loudly, pumping her fist into the air. "Thank the lord! Finally!" She continues. "Hallelujah!"

I sigh and watch her mini celebration. But I also glace over at the other guys. Alan's jaw is set and tight, I see a smile play his lips but his eyes say something different. The rest of them are more relaxed and a bit surprised.

Willow quickly comes over to me and pretty much shoves Gray out of the way to hug me. I look at her as if she had just lost her mind.

"I should have guessed this from you," I say, laughing slightly.

"So how did that happen?" A asks looking from me to Gray.

"Asked her out and she couldn't stop saying yes," he says grinning.

Willow lets me go as I roll my eyes at him.

"About time!" She says, punching me hard in the shoulder.

I glare at her as she smiles at me. But she turns to Gray and her face goes to a threatening heartless look.

"Gray, if you hurt her I will cut your (bleep) off and shove it down your throat," She says coldly and heartlessly.

He tenses. "I couldn't ever think of hurting her."

I smile at him and her face turns cheerful again. 

"Let's go," L.J. says smiling between me and Gray, nodding his head towards the school.

I come over next to Gray and he puts his arm back around me and I do the same. As we walk in we get weird looks left and right. 

"That went better then I thought," he whispers to me so that no one else notices or hears.

I quickly mouth 'right?' and smile at him with a silent laugh.

"Oh, so now you two are gonna be that couple," Mason says, glaring at us.

"Yep," Gray says as he quickly presses his lips to mine.

I kiss him back without hesitation and we soon pull apart only for his smirk at me to grow before looking back to where we're walking. I do the same as I almost run into someone who is with the staring crowd.

"We end up with Gray and the nerd together in our group? Might as well shoot me in the head while you're at it," L.J. says, obviously annoyed and just taking hits at us.

"You're just jealous," I say as I glare back at him.

"Of what?" L.J. says smirking at me like I don't know what I'm talking about.

"I got a cuter one then you," I say sticking my tongue out at him.

"You really are something else," Trever says chuckling.

We soon make it to our first class and Gray takes his seat next to me, Willow on the other side of me and Alan behind me. 

The teacher trusted us to be fine on our own for a while and left. 

She's obviously new to the town.

I soon hear that familiar heel clacking, expecting Freya to come back I keep my eyes down at my bag, pulling my things out but I soon see three girls come standing next to me. The guys all notice and I can see them shift uneasily. The other few kids in class do the same.

I sigh and pull out my book putting it on my desk and Courtney, Britney and Lela all come to stand in front of me. I don't look up at them but I can tell they are all staring me down. 

I ignore them like they aren't there and keep my small smile on my face. I see the guys slowly pull out their things but keep their eyes on me.

I open my book and turn a few pages before a hand slams down on my book, keeping me from turning another page. I look up to face Lela in the eyes. She has a light scar on her cheek that I can tell is one from a bullet. Not too noticeable but noticeable enough even with makeup.

"Can I help you?" I ask looking at her calmly.

"You think your all that now don't you?"

"I never said or implied that and if you don't remove your hand from my stuff I'll remove it for you," I say still not looking away from her.

"Is that a threat?"

"Yes it is and it will be more then just a threat if you don't get out of my face."

She pulls her hand back as she backs up.

"Henry isn't just gonna leave this alone you know."

"Yeah, well he doesn't know when to stop. Like you in a way. He can run his mouth all he wants but I don't need to hear it from his messenger."

"You really are full of yourself now."

"You can go now."

"And if I don't leave?"

"Then we're still done here," I say turning my attention back to my book and backpack.

She quickly struts away and leaves the classroom. 

"Hah, that's my girlfriend," Gray says smirking.

I smile at him and shake my head as I pull out my binder as well.

The day goes on and I finish my homework during class so all that's left is wrestling, after all our classes. I leave with the guys and go put my things in my locker in the girl's locker room before coming back out. I head to the gym and are one of the first few there. I take my seat on the mat like everyone else.

I wrap my ponytail around the hair tie and tuck it in to make it be in a bun and keep it out of the way when Alan comes out and takes a seat next to me.

"So you and Gray?"

"Yeah," I say as a smile plays its way on my lips.

"So he asked you out?"

"Pretty much."

"And you said yes?"

"What's with all the questions?"

"Just curious."

Gray soon comes up next to me and sits down with a smile.

"So the rumors are true?" One of the other guys ask looking to us.

It gains the attention of the rest of the team who is out here as the rest of them all show up.

"Yep."

He chuckles quietly and wraps his arm around me.

"Alright love birds, not in my gym," I hear the coach say.

I look to the coach and see him carrying a box over to the bench. We all watch him, staying silent.

"Uniforms. You wear these to every practice and competition from now on unless I say otherwise. Grab your size and don't come back until you have changed," he says walking away from the box. 

Everyone begins to talk and stand up. I stand up as well but don't go to the box as they are all guy's uniforms and wouldn't fit me. I instead just go to stand beside the bench as they all grab one and go to the locker rooms.

Gray is the last one out and I give him a smile as he walks out. 

"Beth," Coach says.

I turn to him.

"Don't think I forgot about you."

I give him a questioning look as he goes over to the storage area. I follow him as he unlocks the door and reaches in, pulling out a slightly smaller uniform made for girls along with real wrestling shoes.

"Old uniform from when we had a girls team. And I talked to your teachers and everyone. If you want to compete and you can keep your grades up we can get you in to compete by weight class."

My jaw drops as he throws the uniform at me along with the shoes tied together. I catch them.  It is not the school's exact uniform but same colors.

"If you wanna compete you better speak up now."

"I wanna compete," I say quickly.

He smiles slightly. 

"Alright then, now get out of my gym," he says as his face falls flat and he points to the door.

I smile and quickly race out to the girl's locker room. There are a few other girls in there who stare at me as I walk in with wrestling gear.

They turn away their attention as I began to change though. It all fits just fine which is a huge relief.

"On the wrestling team?" One girl says jokingly.

"Yep," I respond before walking out.

I am the last person back in the gym but quickly race to the mat and take a seat as the guys watch me with either smirks or confused faces.

"I ain't wrestling some girl for practice, she isn't gonna compete right?"

"Yes actually. Rather than being a sparring partner, she's a part of the team and I expect you to treat her so."

The coach walks off to talk to another student who had just walked in.

"Is this a joke?"

"You scared cause you might get beat by a girl, Hunter?" Alan mokes.

"At least you'll have some dignity left, she took out like five guys in under five minutes," another one of the guys says chuckling.

"To be fair, she broke their arms and shot them," Trever says grinning.

My smile drops quickly though. I'm not proud of what happened and what I did. Even if it helped. I mean it's not something I would brag about and it's more something I would rather forget.

I cross my arms over the top of my knees. I put on my best small fake smile though for the sake of, I'm not gonna get upset over something that isn't worth getting upset over.

"Too bad, this is wrestling and not fist fighting dirty."

"So what exactly happened when you walked into that cafeteria?"
