Chapter 2| Hanging Out

                                    

                                          

Grace's POV
                          
I ran inside to tell my mom about Bryce and how he invited me over, 'Mom! Guess what!!' 
                          
She looked at me, ' What?' 
                          
I smirked,' You know the hot boy from next door, well, his name is Bryce and he invited me to hang out with him at 5 tonight!' 
                          
She started jumping up and down and clapping,' Really?! Yay honey I'm so happy for you!' 
                          
I ran upstairs,' Thanks mom but no time to talk I have to make myself look somewhat attractive.' 
                          
Even though I wasn't going to change or anything, I just wanted to get out of that before my mom gives me 'The Lecture.' Which usually ends up with my mom crying and me just feeling too damn uncomfortable. 
                          
I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling,' Oh my gosh, this is actually happening. You can't screw this up Grace!' I whispered to myself. 
                          
I decided to look up Bryce on Instagram and Twitter. As I typed in the H of is last name I saw tons of fan accounts pop up. 'Wait, What?' I clicked on a few to see what they were about. I soon realized that Bryce was famous, he had fans, he had fan accounts, he was way out of my league. 
                          
I decided to text my friend Sydney, to tell her the good news, that a guy might actually be interested in me. I doubt he is but, Hey, I can have a little hope right?  
                          
Text Conversation 
                          
Grace: DUDE GUESS WHAT!
Sydney: WHAT?!?
Grace: My new neighbors just moved in and there's a guy our age! 
Sydney: Is he hot or what?! SPILLLLL
Grace: SUPER HOT! he invited me to hang out with him at 5 tonight.
Sydney: WHEN?! HOW? DETAILS GRACE DETAILS! 
Grace: COME OVER STAT! I'll provide the ice cream!
Sydney: ON MY WAY! 

                          
End of conversation
                          
Me and Sydney had these sort of 'Emergency Meetings' all the time. It usually consist of eating ice cream and gossiping. 
                          
My mom yelled up to me, 'Grace! Sydney's here! I'll grab the ice cream!' 
                          
I heard Sydney walk up the stairs, ' I've got the ice cream, Vanilla, your favorite. NOW SPILL!' 
                          
I motioned for her to sit on my bed and she handed me a spoon.
                          
'Well it all started when I woke up, I saw him when I opened my curtains, he was carrying a box! I came downstairs and asked my mom if she knew them. She had met Mrs. Hall an-' 
                          
Sydney then interrupted,' Wait Hall? As in like Bryce Hall?!' I could tell she was getting excited. 
                          
'How do you know Bryce?!" 
                          
She started jumping up and down and screaming things I couldn't even understand.
                          
'Calm down so I can actually understand you.' 
                          
She started to pace her breathing,' Bryce Hall is from You Now, he's like famous and you're his fricking neighbor! PLUS YOU GET TO HANG OUT WITH HIM' 
                          
I smirked,' Well so do you!' 
                          
'What do you mean?'
                          
'You're coming with me, I can't do this alone. I know I'll mess it up somehow!'
                          
Sydney was now screaming and jumping up and down,' OH MY GOSH GRACE ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I MIGHT ACTUALLY CRY!' 
                          
We then realized that we were being a bit too loud. From Bryce's window I see  4 other boys. I did a slight little wave as I saw the boys laughing at us. 
                          
'Do you know who those boys are Sydney?' 
                          
She looked at me,' Hell yeah I do! Hunter, Jacob, Mark and Blake. They are on you now too. He moved here to be closer to them. Sweet huh?'
