FAKE

i heard the doorbell go off and i got up from my seat. 

"who's that?"my mom asked as she stuffed some things into her brief case.  

"joey," i said. i heard grayson snicker from behind me and i turned to glare at him.  

"he's giving you a lot of rides to school, why don't you give him a ride one day?" she asked. 

"i don't know mom," i said and opened the door to see joey looking down at his phone.  

"hey," i said, getting his attention and he looked up from his phone and smiled.  

"hey avery," he said and walked in. he was wearing the team's away jersey, and had his home jersey in his hand, for me to wear. i closed the door as he handed me the jersey. i walked into the bathroom and quickly changed. i tucked the front into the side of my yoga pants and then walked back out. 

"would you like anything to eat joey?" my mom asked.  

"oh no, i'm fine. but thank you," joey smiled. 

"you're so polite, joey. maybe you can teach avery a few things," she said.  

"i can teach her a lot, actually," joey said and smirked at me. i rolled my eyes and looked at my mom, but she was too busy finding her keys to notice what we were saying. 

"gross." grayson muttered. i took one of graysons pop tarts and stuck it in my mouth.  

"hey! get your own!" grayson shouted and ripped it out of my mouth.  

"you can share," i smirked and grabbed it back.  

"mom!" grayson shouted.  

"oh don't be a baby grayson," i said and rolled my eyes.

"just give it back to him avery, we'll stop if you're really that hungry" joey said. i tossed the pop tart back at grayson and grabbed my bag from the floor. i shut the front door behind me and sighed.  

"lucky for you, i already got breakfast," joey said as we walked to his car.  

"you did?" i asked. joey bought me breakfast?  

"of course," he said as i got in. i set my bag down and saw that he got dunkin. my heart melted. that's so sweet! joey opened the door and hopped in the drivers seat and shut the door as he started his car. 

"you didn't have to do this," i said.  

"i know, i wanted too," he said and backed out of my driveway. i took a sip of my coffee coolata and smiled.  

"thank you," i said and he nodded. i took a bite of my sandwich and sighed, i haven't had dunkin in forever. joey pulled into school and parked his car. we both got out and joey grabbed my hand. i didn't see audrey sitting on the wall today, i wonder where she was. 

but i did see tori sitting on the wall with her senior boyfriend or whatever you want to call him. he was cute i'm not going to lie, but he looked like he was a total druggy. gross. tori stared at me as we walked towards the front door. it wasn't quite a glare but it was close.  

"babe are you even listening to me?" joey asked.  

"what?" i said and looked at him.  

"i said, you're coming to the game tonight right?" he asked. the game? i'm not even prepared for the game; i didn't bring a sweatshirt or anything. i nodded anyway.  

"what time is it at?" i asked.  

"five," he said. oh, so i have plenty of time to go home and change.  "but you should wear this." he said and tugged on his jersey.
