Chapter 13: Haylon
***Avalon's POV***I walked into school Friday morning at around 6:15 with Greyson trailing behind me. I was wearing a new skirt, which I share with Hallie, so I feel confident. I am having a conversation with Greyson, who is still walking behind me. "Can you smell my perfume? It's new. I just got it at 'Bath & Body Works'. It's called 'Velvet Sugar.' I love it so much! Can you smell it or should I spray more of it on?" I ask. I stop in my tracks and turn around, waiting for Grey's answer. I raise my eyebrows. "What? Oh, no, you smell great. Really, really great." He said with no interest, walking past me. "It was just a simple question." I say in my defense, walking after him. He stops walking and turns to face me, eyeballing my outfit. "I don't remember buying those when we were at the mall piercing your ears." He said. "Oh, that's because you weren't there when we got them. Ooh! Don't you love this Peter Pan-style neckline?" He rolls his eyes. "Yeah. Love it." He keeps walking. I follow.
"Okay, then. Do you want to come over tonight? Maybe we can watch a movie in our pajamas, then sleep on the bridge?" I ask, hopeful. He lightens up. "Yeah. That'd be great, " we stop walking, "Sorry... I'm just in a sour mood. I had a fight with my parents." He says, then adds, "About Hallie..." I gasp. "What happened?" He says, "Well, they walked in while we were video-chatting and when we hung up, they were just going on and on about how I shouldn't be dating such a tramp." I gasp again, "Tramp?! What makes them think she's a tramp?!" He sighs, "When they walked in, she was just wearing a sports bra an spandex shorts, since she had just come from dance practice." I nod, "Well what are you gonna-" I was interrupted by hearing a familiar voice say, "This song is dedicated to Avalon Starr." That voice... was Hayden.
I tell Grey to wait a minute. I walk closer to where Hayden stood, in the middle of a circle of people, holding his guitar. As soon as I got to the front of the crowd, his eyes laid on me. He said, "This one's for you, Avalon." Then he began to play. right away, I recognized the song. He was singing 'Ain't Nothing 'Bout You' By Brooks and Dunn. This song is so sweet, and I love it so much. Especially when he sings it...
When he finishes, I am close to tears. He strums the final chord, then walks up to me... a-and he says, "Avalon Starr, will you be my girlfriend?" I can't help it when he finally asks. A tear or two breaks free from my eye and strolls down my cheek. I begin to nod before I even say anything. I don't even care; I forget about my 'school self' and just say, "Yes! Yes, I will be your girlfriend!" I hug him and he spins me around a little bit. We separate and we just smile at each other. I am dating Hayden Diamond. I am dating Hayden Diamond! I didn't mean to, but, out loud, I say, "I am dating Hayden Diamond!" Thankfully, Hayden wasn't phased that it was weird for me to yell that out. In fact, he said, "And I am dating Avalon Starr!"
That afternoon, Hayden and I decide to go on a walk through a little path he knows. He gives me a piggy back ride and we talk a bunch. we walk to his Jeep, where I sit on top of the hood. "Today was fun." I say. "There's more where that came from." I giggle. We sit there just starring for a little bit. And then... he kisses me. It becomes a little rough as he lays me down on the hood, but then we part. "This is a little fast. I'm sorry." He says. I laugh and tell him that I agree. He drives me home after that, and I set up for my night with Greyson.
