"Gretch." A voice spoke. "Gretchen!"

"Mhhh?" I turned over on my back.

"Swear to god Gretchen if you don't get up right now, I'm going to drag you out myself." I heard Bellamy threaten.

"What?" I sat up scooping the hair out of my face.

"You overslept and Nathan's downstairs waiting for you." Bellamy yanked the covers off me.

"What the fuck!" I leaned over and checked my phone. It was eight o'clock and my alarm hadn't gone of. Cursing I pushed past my brother and ran into the bathroom and started the shower up.

"Thank you for waking me Bellamy, I love you so much your the best brother in the whole wide world!" My brother teased.

"Shut up and tell Nathan I'll be down in a minute!" I shouted as I slammed the door to my bathroom shut. I had a quick shower washing my hair in the process, after I switched the shower off and began to dry myself, I couldn't leave them two alone downstairs for long because by the time I get down there one of them will be dead. Bursting out of my bathroom I checked outside, the sun was shining and my room was boiling. I threw on a pair of denim shorts and grabbed a random tank top. I tied my hair up in a messy bun and moisturised my face quickly I decided to skip makeup. I shoved my feet into my converse and grabbed a dark red hoodie from my draw. Grabbing my phone and school bag I practically threw myself down the stairs.

"Thanks, I'll have to check it out sometime." I heard Bellamy say. I slowed down as I reached the kitchen, I peaked round and saw Bellamy and Nathan the most unlikely pair, talking nicely in the lounge. Taking a minute I leaned against the wall and watched them, my two boys together and getting along. I cleared my throat as I placed my things on the kitchen counter.

"Sorry to break the bro-mance," I smirked at them as I reached for a cereal bar from the cupboard. They both chuckled and stood up and headed into the kitchen.

"What were you two talking about?" I asked curious about what had them bonding.

"I was telling Bellamy about my brothers fitness group," Nathan answered.

"I've been looking for a decent one for ages." Bellamy ran a hand through his hair.

"Don't they go to a private school?" I asked as I grabbed some water from the fridge.

"Yeah but the fitness group is open for the public."

"Oh right," I nodded "You gonna check it out?"

"Yeah, worth a shot." Bellamy smiled. I smiled back at him as I shoved some things in my bag and put my hoodie on.

"Be right back!" I mumbled before running back upstairs and grabbing my purse then running back down the stairs. I opened my purse up and checked its contents.

"Shit...." I muttered.

"Don't you have any money?" Bellamy asked as he started rummaging through some draws.

"Nope." I rolled my eyes. "It's fine I'll just have the cereal bar and apple," I shrugged.

"That's not sufficient." Bellamy scolded me.

"It's fine I'll buy Gretch lunch," Nathan said.

"Oh no you really don't have to," I protested shooting him a look.

"It will be my pleasure." He smiled which set my stomache doing summersaults'.

"You sure man?" Bellamy asked.

"Yeah of course." He nodded, it was weird...these two getting along.

"Sorted." Bellamy nodded. "See you later Gretch," Bellamy embraced me tightly, a bit more tighter than usual. I swear I saw Nathan's jaw tense, he's my brother though?

"Later," I kissed him on the cheek. Nathan took hold of my hand and led me out to his car.

"What was in your cereal this morning?" I asked amused as I climbed into his car. I waited for him to get into the driver seat himself.

"I had toast." He smirked.

"What was on your toast this morning?" I corrected myself.

"Butter...?"

"You were getting along with my brother..." I gaped at him.

"I know," he shrugged.

"That's weird, I think I find it uncomfortable." I laughed a little.

"You wanted us to get along," he laughed too as he pulled away.

"I guess." I smiled "Sorry for being late this morning, I don't know what happened." I blushed as I twirled a loose strand of hair around my finger.

"It's fine," he took hold of my hand and kissed it lightly.

******

Nathan held my hand as we walked down the school corridor a few heads turning our way. I smiled I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. We stopped by my locker so I could collect my workbooks.

"Hey Gretch," Grace smiled.

"Hi," I beamed at her.

"You look happy!" She chirped as she pulled out her English books.

"I sure am," I smiled up at Nathan as I watched him smiled back down at me. Jeeze, there was a lot of smiling today.

"You two okay?" Grace asked interrupting mine and Nathan's telepathic conversation, which I have no idea what it was about.

"Yeah," I whispered as Nathan wrapped his arms round my waist as I leaned my arms against his chest. He leaned in slowly and presses his lips against my own, I smiled in the kiss as I gripped his shirt.

"Keep it PG 13 please kids," Grace laughed as she adverted her gaze. I pulled back from Nathan and laughed.

"I'm nearly eighteen." I complained.

"But not yet and there are younger viewers." Grace smirked.

"Oh have you seen Taylor?" I asked.

"She said she was running late, but she'll be here in a bit." Grace informed.

"Good, I have some match making to do," I smiled.

"Your not actually going ahead with that are you?" Nathan chuckled against my ear.

"Yes I am, I didn't exactly see Kendall doing the boyfriend girlfriend thing so, I'm helping him out. Plus Taylor's a good girl and deserves someone nice like Kendall." I explained.

"Nice?" Nathan stifled a laugh.

"Hey don't be mean," I laughed slapping his hand which was wrapped around my waist. I shut my locker and tried to walk away but Nathan wouldn't let go of my waist. I gave him an 'Are you kidding me?' look, he simply smirked back and gripped my waist even more. I turned round fully and glared at him although I caught Taylor out of the corner of my eye I really needed to catch her. I turned my attention back to Nathan. Having a brainwave I reached up on my tiptoes and kissed Nathan roughly, he immediately responded but when I could I bit his lower lip and slipped my hand up his shirt. Momentarily stunned I took my que and pulled away from him and his grip, looking over my shoulder he was still dazed, I giggled a little.

"Taylor!" I shouted down the hall to her.

"Oh hey Gretch," she smiled.

"You okay?"

"Yeah I was running late this morning that's all." She explained.

"That makes two of us," I sighed "Listen, you know the other day at the car wash?"

"Yeah what about it?" She asked "Oh if your wondering how much we raised you should see Mrs.Pointer,"

"No, no not any of that shit." I dismissed quickly "You were flirting quite a bit with Kendall Blake..." Taylor glanced at me as I wiggled my eyebrows.

"He's hot..." She shrugged.

"Funny, that's exactly what he said about you." I said casually.

"What!?" Taylor stopped and backed me up to a wall so I banged into it.

"Watch it!" I laughed a little at her behaviour, it was weird I'd never seen Taylor crush before either.

"He said what!?"

"I mentioned to him the other day that he was flirting with you and he said you were hot." I smiled at her before she started squealing. "Jeeze Tay..."

"Oh my God!"

"Do you want me to set you two up?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"You would do that Gretch!?" She asked her eyes wide.

"Of course Taylor, your my best friend, I'd do anything for you." I smiled at her.

"Oh thank you, thank you ,thank you!" She shouted as she pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"I kind of need to breath though." I managed to laugh.

"Oh sorry," she smiled letting me go.

"Come on we should get to English," I rolled my eyes.

"Way to ruin the moment Gretch." She huffed playfully. Laughing like idiots we walked down the hallways to our English classroom on the first floor.

"Ladies," a cocky voice cooed.

"Fuck off." I shouted back knowing who it was already.

"How quickly you dismiss our love, Gretchen." Max came and stood in front of me.

"The only thing I have for you Max is growing hatred and the urge to kick you in the balls." I glowered at him.

"Feisty as ever Miss.Rousso." He commented.

"Don't call me that." I pushed past him making sure that my shoulder knocked his roughly before entering the classroom. Heading towards my seat at the back I caught hold of Nathan's gaze. Remembering earlier I smirked at him as I took my seat at the back. He leaned over and leaned his elbow on my desk.

"You know what you did earlier was totally evil." He murmured.

"I know." I grinned, I was pleased at myself knowing I could make him feel like that.

"And you know your going to pay right?" He smiled up at me as amusement lit up in my eyes.

"I kind of figured," I whispered to him. He chuckled and kissed the side of my head before sitting upright in his chair. I smiled trying to let the butterflies in my stomach die down a little. Briefly I caught Max's eye and he stared at me then Nathan in bewilderment, I smirked at him and stuck my finger up at him.

"Arsehole." I mouthed.
