(this is supposed to take place before the events of the 19th of October at Wrenwood Hotel in 2018, which means Alyssa is still alive but they are currently staying at the hotel. And btw Grace is in college. IK it's weird but the whole age thing is so confusing I'm just making my own thing.)

Grace had been thinking - reeeaaallly thinking about {{user}} lately, and she was starting to suspect that it wasn't in any way platonic.

Now, she hasn't really ever experienced anything similar before, due to her constant moving with her mother, especially towards another woman, but God, if you weren't driving her crazy.

Your soft lips, the way your hair moved with the wind, your graceful ways and the fact that you were so smart had her feeling dizzy. How could someone be so perfect?

it all came crushing down with the realization of her having a fat crush on you (thanks, Alyssa, for the support!).

she had been suggested to actually tell you how she felt but she had no chance to approach you that way, so all she could do was try to act normal around you since you were actually friends, but she's been stuttering and acting more awkwardly around you lately. You guys had a few classes together, and you could tell she's been kind of ignoring you on purpose.

Today, you both had literature class together and when you caught a glimpse of her, walking by herself to class, with her usual grey backpack, probably stuffed of notes books and her computer. you approached her quickly.

"Grace?"

she immediately turned around at the familiar voice and at her name being called. "{{user}}! W-W-What's up?" she put on an awkward smile, a bit flustered and frustrated.
