"Are you okay?" I asked Tori curiously. Since we came to maths class, she hasn't stopped fidgeting with her fingers and continuously spacing out.

Luckily, our teacher wasn't in the class. She left work for us and stepped from the classroom for a while. Everybody in the classroom was busy doing the problems on the board or their own thing.

Tori turned to look at me and I instantly become worried. Her eyes were clouded with fear and worry. "Tori, what's wrong?" I prompt her.

She gave me a half smile, before looking down at her hands again. "I'm going to come out to my parents tonight, but I'm afraid." She whispered.

"That's big. What do you think they will say?" I asked.

"I really don't know, but I have to tell them. I can't keep lying to them about who I am." She faced me again. "I love mis padres. What if they don't look at me the same again? I don't want that Emily."

I nodded my head in understanding. "Do you want me to come with you?" I suggested, hoping that would help.

Tori smiled

    After ringing the doorbell at Tyler's for the third time, I turned around to go back home when I saw Tyler's car turning into the driveway. I stood watching as he parked his car and he and Seth got out.I crossed my arms as he walked over to where I was. "Have you forgotten that we have an assignment to do?" I asked. "It looks like you too were busy on a night out on the town."Tyler chuckled. "I didn't forget. That is why I am here so we can get this assignment over with." He winked at me. "And it looks like I'm right on time too." Seth walked up to us sporting a teasing grin directed towards me. "Hey Emily. Coming over to see Tyler? Don't worry, I won't disturb your date night. I'm just going to crash here for the night." He wriggled his eyebrows suggestively. "You're free to do anything you want, just pretend like I'm not here."I shoved him. "Cut it out. I'm only here to do an assignment with Tyler." Seth chuckled and tutted. "Don't use assignment as an excuse.""Shut up. Why ar

    "I'm not leaving for home as yet. I'm going to watch a soccer game. Our team is competing against another school." Tori informed me when we walk through the halls on Thursday at the end of school.I look over at her and lifted a quizzical eyebrow. "A soccer game? I've never seen you go to a soccer game at this school before. Since when are you interested in soccer?" I inquired."Stephanie invited me to come and watch her play." Tori replied."I didn't know Stephanie is on the soccer team." I mused just as we steppe from the school's building and out into the parking lot."Yes." Tori nodded. I stopped walking and turned to face her. I noticed that she was sporting a wide smile on her face."Why would Stephanie asked you to come and watch her play?" I asked in suspicion. I continued to look at her confused for a few seconds, before all the puzzle pieces began to fit into place in my mind. "Wait a minute. Is there something that you need to tell me?" I ask, giving her a look that says 's

    Shocked at Tyler's revelation, I turned around completely to face him. "What do you mean?" I asked tentatively afraid to broach the topic.Tyler took a deep sigh before he sat on the porch steps. I walk over to where he was and sat beside him. "I didn't want to talk about her because I wanted to leave her in the past."I sat quietly beside him, waiting for him to continue. It took a few seconds, but he did. "Two years ago, I met Andrea. She did not go to our school. I met her at one of my parents' family dinners. Her family was a close friend of ours." He paused for a while before he continued. "We started dating a week after we met. Andrea was perfect and everything was going great. Everyone liked us together as a couple.""So, what happened?" I asked quietly."I don't know. She just ended it. Six months into our relationship, she just came to me one day and said that she has found someone else. She did not give me much details; she just left. A few days later, I saw her and her new

  • Just A Kiss   Unexpected And Unwanted Feelings

    As I got to history class, I saw that the room was already filled with students. I looked around the classroom for a seat and regrettably, I saw that the only available seat was beside Logan.I was good in avoiding him these past weeks but now the universe decided to work against me. I sigh inwardly and walked over to the seat to the right of him. I didn't make eye contact with him at all. I held my attention in front of me on the seat and continue walking.After what seemed like an eternity, I finally reached the seat and sat down. I got my books ready for class and pretended like he wasn't there. I've been doing this every time in history class, but now that he was actually sitting beside me, it won't be that easy. However, I'm going to try my best. I'm just going to ignore him for the entire class time. Yes, I could do that.That plan went down the drain when I heard Logan spoke up. "It's been a while since we sit together. I've missed that.""Don't get used to it." I retort still

    "Where are we going?" I asked Tyler for the umpteenth time.It was a week later, Friday and ever since we left school, Tyler has been driving me to an unknown destination. He didn't even tell me anything, but instead of turning in the direction of home, he took a different road. When I had asked him where we were going, he just told me that we are going somewhere, but he refused to share the location with me."You'll soon find out." Was his response now."I don't understand why I have to go with you." I replied."Because, it will be great." He said as if that answered my question.I crossed my arms over my chest and stared in front of me. "Well why you won't tell me? You're such a meanie."Tyler took a quick look in my direction and then chuckled. "I know."After driving in silence with me watching the surroundings to our destination, the car finally pulled to a stop. I also noted that it took us thirty minutes to get here. I craned my neck to look out the window of the parked car.

    Tyler's POV"Where did you and your father go today?" Seth asked me, his attention focused on the screen in front of him as he clicked the game control violently trying to beat my character.Without losing focus either, I answered. "We went on a road trip.""Ahh I see. I bet that was awesome." Seth replied and I nodded."It was cool." I confessed.The day spent with my dad today was indeed awesome. Dad had stood by his promise and came to visit me early this morning at around six o' clock. We spent almost the entire day out as Dad stopped everywhere during the trip. It was an amazing day, which wasn't really surprising. I really like hanging out with him because we always have an amazing time.When Dad brought me back home, it was two in the afternoon. I came over to Seth's house after because we had planned to watch a football game on the television. However, the game wasn't schedule to start until four o' clock, so we've been here killing time playing video games since then."Oh yes

    Emily's POVI groaned inwardly as I tried to get my locker to open. I've been here for the past five minutes fighting the lock but it seems to be jammed.The school really needs to do something about these old lockers.I decided to rattle the lock, but it still didn't budge. After I rest my knee in the locker and used my fist to pound it, I finally got it to open. However, as soon as it opened, a few of my books fall out to the ground.Sighing heavily, I stooped down to gather my fallen books."Tell me, what did your locker do to you?" I heard a voice say. I looked up to see Tyler standing in front of me with a teasing grin on his face. I was so caught up with gathering my books that were scattered all over the floor that I didn't noticed when he walked up."It seems to not like me for some reason." I answered before continuing to get my books. Tyler chuckled lightly then helped me to pick them up. When we were both standing up again, I took my mathematics writing book as well as my t

    "Just give me a few minutes. I'm going to return Tori's book to her." I said to Tyler as we walked to his car at the end of school.I remembered that I had borrowed Tori's biology text book and she was going to need it for her homework tonight."Sure, I'll be waiting by the car." Tyler replied.I nodded my head and turned in the direction of the football field where Tori said she would be.When I got closer, I saw her sitting on the bottom of the bleachers talking to Stephanie. I walked over to them."Hi Stephanie." I said when I reached where they sat.Stephanie looked up at me and smiled. "Hi Emily.""You've got a next match coming up soon?" I asked her.She nodded her head. "Yes, our next match is next week Friday. We'll be playing against an undefeated school, so we're practicing everyday this week.""That's cool. I hope you beat them." I replied."That's our plan." She grins."Stephanie is very optimistic." Tori interjected with a smile."Yeah and if we don't win, at least we'll

  • Just A Kiss   Epilogue

    Four Months Later"Where are you and Stephanie going?" I asked Tori. She was sitting at her dresser, brushing her hair, while I was laying on her bed.Tori stopped what she was doing and looked at me through her mirror. "Nowhere fancy. We're just going to the movies." She answered."That sounds like fun." I replied.Tori and Stephanie were officially together after four months of being in denial. It really did take a long time for them to finally come to terms with how they felt. Finally they dropped the whole 'just friends' charade. Also, I think it had to do with the fact that Stephanie was not out as a lesbian to her family as yet and she was slowly working through that. The only person in her family who had known at the time was her older brother. Now today, Saturday, they were going on their first date. Tori had asked me to come over to her house to help her pick out a nice outfit. Tori didn't want to admit it, but she was nervous to go on this date. This was her first time goin

    "I don't have to ask why you two are holding hands and looking like a couple." Tori said as soon as she saw Tyler and I the following day.We walked over to where she stood. "Hello to you too, Tori."Tori smiled. "So you two are dating for real now, right?""Yes it's real." Tyler supplied wrapping his arms around me."I knew something was up all along. I was just waiting for you both to admit it. I've never seen fake dating looked so real before." She emphasized.I smiled at Tori's excitement. "Yes Tori, you were right.""Of course I was. I know a perfect match when I see one." She said proudly."Yes and I'm not letting her go so easily." Tyler added sending a wink my way."Awww," Tori sighed. "Tan Lindo." After a while she said. "Anyway, I hope you didn't forget that today is the girl's soccer team championship game.""Yes, I remember." I nodded. How could I? They had announced it in assembly yesterday."So, are you going?" She asked hopefully. "It's the last game of the season.""Of

    Emily's POVMy parents went to bed early after dinner on Wednesday evening, so after I finished washing the dishes, I went up to my room earlier than normal. After turning off all the lights in the house, I went up to my room.When I entered my room, I heard my phone ringing. I walked over to my bed and took it up. Checking the caller ID, I saw that it was Tori. I lay on my bed and picked up the call."Hey girl. What's up?""Hi Emily. I'm just checking up on you. How are you doing?"I scrunched up my eyebrows in confusion. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?""Emily, you didn't seem like yourself in school today. You spaced out a lot and I noticed you barely said two words. I was worried about you." She explained."Thanks Victoria, but really I'm good." I insist."Are you sure?""Well, I would be eventually.""Good. Don't worry about it okay? It will all work out. I know it will.""Thanks girl." I said grateful that she was trying to make me feel better even though what she was suggesting w

    Tyler's POVAfter school on Wednesday, Seth and I drove into town where Seth picked up a few things. We also stopped at his uncle's antique shop for a small visit, but ended up being there for longer.On our way back, we decided to drive to a place where we usually hang out. It was an old abandoned playground that was a fifteen minutes drive from our school. We would normally come here to hang out before going home. It has been a while since we stopped here so we decided to do so today.Today wasn't any different than the other days we stop here. We were here for almost an hour now just chilling and talking about nothing in particular; just random topics. Seth was settled on top of a bench with his feet on the sitting area and I sat a few feet in front of him on a tree stomp with my back leaning on a tree.Most of the time we were talking however, I was a little distracted. I couldn't help it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about how things turned out with Emily

    I was walking through the parking lot at school the next day when I heard someone called my name. I turned around to see Logan walking towards me."Can I talk to you for a bit?" He asked when he stood in front of me. I nodded my head and indicated for him to say what he's got to say. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."I sighed. "Logan, you've told me this already. We've been through this and I'm tired." I interjected."No, I mean I'm sorry to be coming at you and forcing us to get back together." He clarified. I stared at him, shock by his apology. "I've listened to what you said the last time we spoke and you're absolutely right.""Really?" I was really surprised about this sudden change.He nodded. "Yes. I wasn't being fair to you by forcing what could never be.""You're right, you weren't." I agreed.He winced at my words. "I know and I'm really sorry about that. You deserve better."I was watching him closely wondering if he was messing with me, but I didn't hear any humo

    "Hey, where's Tyler?"I turned from my locker towards the voice. I saw that it was Seth who was behind me.I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know. I don't think he's here as yet."Seth watched me with a confused expression. "When I saw you, I thought he was here. You guys always come together.""I left home early this morning." I stated before bringing my voice to a whisper. "And besides, we don't need to come to school together anymore now that our fake dating has come to an end.""Are you serious?" He asked in shock."Yeah. What did you expect?" I asked confused by his shocked expression. "And what's the big deal anyways? You should have known that it was going to come to an end sooner or later.""Yeah but..." He said trailing off.I finished getting my books from my locker and closed it. Turning to face him once again, I lifted my eyebrows at him in question. "But what?"He shook his head. "Nothing.""Right." I said brushing aside Seth's weird behaviour. "Well, I've got to get to c

    When Logan and I had dated, I thought we were a great couple. He was sweet, kind and played the role of a boyfriend perfectly. He made me feel special and I loved hanging out with him, but that was just it. There was no spark or any deep emotional connection with him. We didn't have any heart stopping moments or strong chemistry. I was his girlfriend and he was boyfriend but only in name, so it was like we were playing that role and just existing.I met Logan in the computer lab at school. I was walking towards a computer station and he was going for the same one. None of us had seen the other. When we reached the station, we both put our hand on the chair at the same time. He then turn to face me and smiled, before saying that I could have that one. He then took the one beside me.For the entire time we spent in the computer room, we talked and that's how we became friends. After that, we started hanging out together. A month later, he told me he likes me and he enjoys when we hang

I confessed."Thinking about what?" She prodded.I sigh, deciding to confide in her. "Tyler's ex girlfriend has moved back here."Tori furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Ex girlfriend? What are you talking about?"I have never told Tori about what Tyler told me, so I knew she would've been confused. There was no need to tell her before, but now that I wanted to explain what I was thinking, I told her everything about Andrea."So now she came back yesterday." I said as I finished relaying the story to her."Woah, that's hardcore." Tori stated. "So what's the problem?""I'm just worried that Tyler is going to get back together with her. I mean, I wouldn't blame him she's super pretty and perfect for him." Tori who was watching me closely lifted her eyebrows at me when I said that. "What I me

    Tyler's POV"Hello Andrea." I replied looking at her, wondering if she was actually standing here.But she was indeed standing on the doorstep, smiling as if she had forgotten what she did two years ago. She looked every bit the same as she did before she left."What are you doing here?" I demanded.She lifted her eyebrows curiously at me. "Is that how you're going to greet me after not seeing me for almost two years?" She asked. "Come on, let me in.""What are you doing here?" I repeated, not giving her an invitation to come in.Ignoring my question, she shift her head to the side to look behind me. "Who's that?" She asked.Realizing that Emily was still sitting on the couch in the living room, I turned around to look at her. She stood up and walked over to the door."I think I better go, Tyler." She said."No stay." I said. Andrea was going to leave soon anyway. I had no intention of keeping her here for long.However, Emily shook her head. "No, I have to get home anyway. I'll talk
