the bucket list ; grayson dolan

1 ; 3 years

kelsey

my locker clicked open after entering my combination as i swung the door open about 10 papers fell all over the floor. as i bent to the floor to pick everything up i heard someone come around the hallway

"morning mrs.steel"

i looked up and instead of seeing her alone she was with grayson dolan

"good morning mrs.dunn" i say

mrs.dunn is my journalism teacher and one of the only staff members i can talk to without feeling like everything coming out of my mouth is dumb

"i have to go make copy's for my next class could you bring grayson to my room and explain the new project too him?" she asked

i wish i could say no but i love mrs.dunn

"uhm yeah sure" i mumble

she mouths a 'thank you' and walks the opposite direction and i proceed into her room with grayson

i put my things down on her spacious desk and grab a outline for him

"okay so basically we're writing entry's about what we're most proud of accomplishing so far and our 'legacy' in high school. it's like a farewell" i explain

he shook his head and looked at me

"what's your name again?" he asked and i rolled my eyes

"we've been going to school together for years, you should know it" i say with attitude

he laughed "in kidding i know your name, it's kelsey. i also know that you're not even supposed to be a senior. you're graduating early, how is that even possible?" he asked

"i did a summer program in california at a college and they wanted me to come early, so i bumped my grades up a little and discussed it with the school. that's how." i said

"but aren't you still 16? i didn't even know 16 year olds were allowed to graduate" he said starting to get annoying

"and your 17 and still act like you're 14, i didn't know that was allowed" i said sarcastically

"oh so now we're discussing me? you don't even know me" he said

i laughed "your grayson dolan, you have a twin, you play every fucking sport, you throw every party, you hook up with every girl, and your a huge asshole with a even huger ego. it's not that hard to figure the most popular person in school out"

"you don't even know me" he says

"i know enough" i say grabbing my stuff and leaving, why did i even waste my time doing that i could be home

i made my way to the parking lot and waited for my bestfriend brittany to pull up. it only took her three minutes

"hey hoe" she said while i jumped in shotgun

"you'll never guess who i was just with" i say and she speeds out of the senior parking lot

"who?" she asks confused

"grayson" i laughed

"did you tell him about the plan yet?" she asked

the plan was to blackmail grayson into helping me finish the last thing on my bucket list. and i had the perfect thing to blackmail him with. i was just waiting for the right time

"nah i'm going to do that soon though. i can't believe graduation is in 26 days" i said

"i know, but it's okay soon enough you'll be a famous journalist and i'll be a famous fashion designer. i'll pick you up in my private jet to go shopping in paris on the weekend" she laughed

"sounds like a plan" i say
