chapter eleven: "are you going to kill me, and hide my body out here?"

We finally get to our destination which is in the middle of nowhere. I should really stop taking rides from strangers...

"Are you going to kill me and hide my body out here?" My very optimistic self asks as i get off his bike and take a few steps back.

Grayson rolls his eyes and gets off too.

"No i'm not going to kill you if i wanted to kill you, you would be dead by now." he states rather calmly.

Why did i agree to come with him again?

"Thanks. Why did you bring me here?" i ask sarcastically and he groans.

"God, if i knew you were gonna be annoying i should have let you walk home" he mutters loud enough for me to hear.

"Ass!" i mutter and he smirks hearing me.

"Trust me, cupcake i've been called worse" he tells me and i roll my eyes. He really needs to stop with the pet names.

"Can you just tell me where we are?" i ask and he starts walking away. I huff and follow him.

"No can you just shut up?" I deadpan him and he groans again.

"All you have to do is alittle walking then we are there. Got it?" he asks and i mimic him in a high pitch voice like a child. He turns his head and looks at me like i am 5.

He continues to stare at me when i stick my tounge out at him and he sticks his out at me. I snort and roll my eyes.

Grayson stares at me bewildered. I give him a what look.

"Nothin, just not many girls snort when they are around me" he states.

"I guess i'm not like most girls" i say simply and i look over at him. He shakes his head and agrees with me. "Trust me, i know, Cupcake"

"You brought me to... a diner?" i ask not fully sure of myself...

"No, it is not a diner. It is a small... shack... that may look like a diner" I roll my eyes as he he says that and walks toward the diner without me. I do not care if he claims it is a 'small shack' it is a diner.

He walks into the diner and i follow him in.

"Oh my gosh, can it be? Oh it's Grayson James!" A little old lady comes out from behind the counter and runs up to Grayson she indulges him in a hug and he returns it. Wait what? Is that actually Grayson being nice? Never seen it in the 2 days i have known him...

"Yes, yes, it's me your favorite person ever" grayson says arrogantly. The old lady swats his shoulder playfully and glares at him

"Why in the world did you stop coming here? I've miss you and your fam!" the old lady says sadly.

"Sorry, Nacey we've been busy" he apologises.

"Well! Anyways what has brought you back?" she asks her mood lightening up. She takes a look behind Grayson and she stares at me then she smiles really big.

"Well i've missed you and i-" Grayson gets cut off when Nancy shushes him.

"Yeah, yeah" she says and walks over to me. "Hello! What's your name?"

I look over at Grayson and he is playfully glaring at Nancy probably because she cut him off. I like her.

I look back to Nancy and answer her. "Anna" i say and smile. Nancy smiles back and hugs me. I laugh hug her back and she smiles again.

"Well you are very pretty!" she compliments me and smiles nicely and she turns back to Grayson.

"Ella es muy guapa ¿es tu novia?" Nancy asks in spanish i think. Why is she talking in spanish?

Grayson groans and answers her. "No Nancy no es"

Nancy stares at him for a few more seconds before she hums. You know one of those humms where the person knows everything. Yeah, that one.

"Okay well let's get y'all some food and y'all can sit here" Nancy says and leads us to a table. I sit down on one side and Grayson takes the other. I skim over the menu to see what looks good.

"Okay what drink do y'all want?" Nancy asks and i reply with a 'sweet tea' and Grayson gets a dr. pepper. Nancy leaves and i turn my head to grayson.

"I did not know you knew spanish" i say and he shrugs as he looks down at the menu.

"You never asked, and i am half mexican. My mom taught me an- when i was younger" he says simply without looking up. I nod even though he can not see me.

"So, why did you bring me here?" i ask and he sighs and looks up.

"Why not, baby?" i glare at the pet name and he smirks.

Nancy comes back with our drinks and i say thank you, and Grayson nods at her.

"Can i get a cheese burger, no onions, and a side of fries" he says and Nancy writes it down and looks over at me. "Can i please get chicken strips with a side of fries" i say nicely and she smiles at me and nods and writes it down. "Okay it will be ready in a few minutes" she says and leaves.

I feel someone staring at me and i turn over to Grayson.

"Can i help you?" i ask him and he shakes his head.

"I don't know, you're weird" he states and my mouth hangs open. He chuckles at my reaction

"No, not like that. Well kind of, but most girls faughn over me, and get salads when there out with me, and they make a big deal over me taking them out and you're ... calm" he says and squints his eyes to examine me. Yeah and i am the weird one.

Mean while i have the most confused face on. He sighs in annoyance thinking about dumbing... that, up for me.

"What i mean is that you're different than most girls" he says and looks at me in the eyes. So, if i get it right. He is saying I am different because i got chicken strips?

"Okay" i say and Nancy comes back with our food.

Nancy sets down our food and i immediately dig in. most people, as in my friends from Florida, say that i eat like a pig, but do i really? Yes, Anna Nicole, you do.

"Damn girl slow down" Grayson says right when i finished my food. I looked up from my plate and see that he still has all of his food left. Damn, slow eater.

I smile at sip on my tea while i wait for mr. slow eater to finish

"So you're Adam and Gus's sister right?" he asks and i slowly nod.

"Okay, so how come i haven't seen you before? I mean i've lived beside y'all for 3 years" he states. I shrug

"I lived in Florida with my grandparents for the past 4 years" i say and he nods, and he suddenly looks confused.

"Wait, why? Do you have other siblings who live in Florida?" he asks. God, i knew he was gonna ask. I will just avoid the question.

"Nope! Only one" i say simply and sip on my tea again. I look back up at him and he still has the confused face on.

"Wait why though? Why did you move out there?" why does he need to know? It is none of his business.

"Because i did, okay?" i say as calm as i can.

"But why?" he asks again and feel my body heat up in anger. Can he not tell that i do not want to talk about it?

"Because i did. It is none of your business, so do not ask again" i spit out and he puts his hands up in surrender actually looking a tiny bit scared. I start to feel bad because i did not mean to come off that rude.

"Sorry" i mutter and look down. "I just... i just do not like talking about it" i say in a whisper. Why did i get so mad? In Florida a lot of people asked why i moved out here and i did not get that mad.

"It's fine. I shouldn't have continued to ask" he says sounding a bit apologetic. I nod my head and look up. Grayson looks really sincere but it disappears as fast as it happened.

"You know when a girl stares at a boy it usually means she likes him" he smirks at me and i roll my eyes.

"You wish, who would ever like you?" i ask playfully and he raises his eyebrows in surprise.

"Oh, honey. You obviously haven't seen the girls at school, or bassically anywhwere i go" he says cockly. He is right though. Everywhere in school i hear his name being spoken by girls. I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, whatever. Let's go" i say when i noticed he finished his food.

"Why in a rush, cupcake?" he asks and i roll my eyes. Seriously what is up with 'cupcake'

"i am pretty sure my mother wants me home soon" i say even though my mother probably does not notice my absence.

"Hmm" he hums in response and stands up.

"Nancy we're leaving!" Grayson shouts and Nancy come running out from behind the counter.

"Okay, well promise me that you will come back soon" she sighs and Grayson chuckles.

"Sure, anything for you, Nancy" he says and Nancy smiles and hugs him. I can tell that she really missed him. Maybe they are family friends...

"Okay, i just have one question" she says and Grayson nods at her and she takes in a breathe and starts talking in spanish again.

"¿Por qué tiene el pelo azul?" she asks, i think and Grayson starts bawling with laughter. What? Why is he laughing? What did she say? I want to know.

"No lo sé, Nancy. no sé" Grayson says and starts laughing once again and basically tears are coming out by now. Why?
