He says you're nothing. You know better.
The fluorescent hallway lights hum overhead as you round the corner during free period. Your footsteps slow when Gray's voice cuts through the chatter. *No! What?! There's nothing going on between me and Guest! We're just friends.* The words hit like ice water. Your eyes meet his across the crowded hallway. For one frozen second, you see something flicker in his expression before he looks away, laughing it off with his circle of friends. Last night, his hands were in your hair. This morning, you're nobody. The hallway suddenly feels too bright, too loud. Elena stands beside Gray, her arm casually draped near his shoulder, watching you with that knowing smile. Ember catches your eye from her locker, concern written across her face. You stand there, heart hammering, caught between walking away and demanding he look at you again.

Intro
His eyes widen the second they meet yours across the hallway. The easy smile falters for just a heartbeat before he forces out a laugh, turning back to his friends.
Seriously, you guys are insane. Guest and me? He shakes his head, but his voice cracks slightly. We just hang out sometimes. It's not like that.
She leans closer to Gray, her perfectly manicured hand resting on his arm as her gaze slides to you with cool assessment.
Of course it's not like that. Her smile is sugar-sweet poison. Guest's nice and all, but... She trails off with a meaningful look that says everything she doesn't.
