When you and a person are best friend for a long time, you tend to know a lot about them and is able to pick up on small things. That was how it has always been between Victoria and I. She could always tell when something was up with me or when I wasn't in the mood and I could do the same with her. We were able to read each other's expressions and moods so well that people would say that we were like two peas in a pod, but were totally different. I guess that is what happens when you are friends with someone for as long as we are. Right now was one of those times I could tell that something was up. Tori was laying on my bed beside me, staring at the ceiling. I've been talking to her, but her attention was elsewhere. She was obviously distracted by something."Are you even hearing a word I'm saying?" I said to get her attention, but didn't get any response. I looked around at her to see that she was still spaced out. She looked to be deep in thought. It wasn't just today too, she h
Tyler and I walked on in comfortable silence. I was ahead of him walking with my head down and he was a few steps behind me. We had about five minutes before we reached to our houses.Walking in silence, I couldn't help my mind from wandering. Currently, I was trying to figure out Logan. Today in science class, he slipped me a piece of paper. On it, he was once again asking for another chance, complemented with a sad face. I had tossed it in the bin on my way out of the class without giving him a second glance.However, since I've received the note, I've been trying to figure him out. He was seeing Trisha behind my back for three months. If he cared about me at all, he would have ended it sometime between those months. So why was he so intent on getting me back now?Logan was not an easy person to understand. He has never let me in much or spoke about his feelings. I really wanted to know why he cheated on me in the first place. Did I do something wrong? Was I a bad girlfriend? I was
"Come on. I understand that you guys are anxious to go at each other, but at least have the decency to bolt the door next time." The person who had spoken was Seth. He was standing in the doorway, an amused smile on his face. He held a pack of beer in his hand. I felt my face heat up at what he said. I heard Tyler chuckle, making me realize that I was still on top of him. He finally let go of me and I stand up instantly. "I...um...we weren't...he..." I trailed off as I fumbled to get the right words out. My face was getting redder by the second. I was a little embarrass that Seth walked in on us in that position, although, I was glad that it wasn't Tyler's mom. That would have been super awkward.Suddenly, both boys burst into laughter. I crossed my arms and glared at both of them. Finally, they stopped laughing and Seth said. "Man, you should have seen your face.""Ha ha. Very funny. I'm going to get you back for that." I said to Seth.Seth looked behind me at Tyler, who was now st
"What is this crap you are listening to?" I asked the following morning in the passenger seat of Tyler's car. I was watching him as he bops his head to a rap song, while concentrating on the road. I don't get it. What was so amazing about this song? I couldn't even hear what the singer was singing about.Boy, his taste in music is weird!Without turning his eyes from the road, he responded. "You don't know what you are talking about. This is a great song.""Well, my ears are bleeding." I couldn't take it anymore, I lean towards the radio and turn the knob, hoping to find a radio station with a decent song. Suddenly, One Direction's 'Live While We're Young' blast from the radio. "Now, this is more like it." I said, resting my head on the headrest behind me."Seriously? One Direction?" He queried, lifting his eyebrows at me for a second, before looking back to the road.I turn to look at him. "Yeah. They're pretty amazing. You don't have good taste." He shook his head, so I added, insis
Victoria and I rarely argued.I could only count three times in our friendship where we argued. Those times, it was only mere disagreements and we always hug and make up soon after. We never argued for long. Our friendship was too close and strong for that.Now, was one of those times and even though it was another disagreement, it was the first I've seen her like this. I've never seen Victoria so angry and full of hatred before."Are you out of your mind?" She was asking, shaking her head vigorously. "Did you forget what he did to you?""Tori, it's not a big deal. I'm just going to hear what he has to say and leave." I said, trying to calm her down.As soon as lunch came around, I told Victoria about meeting Logan after school. She was not happy about that. So, she was trying to convince me that I shouldn't see him."I still think it's a bad idea. You cannot go and see him." Tori insisted. "He hurt you without thinking about it, Emily. A guy like that don't deserve a chance to explai
As I made my way back to the parking lot, I saw Tyler heading there as well. Good. Right on time.Before the day was finished, Tyler had told me that he had something to do right after school and I should wait on him. I didn't mind, because I knew I was going to meet Logan. I told him to go ahead, hoping that he would be ready by the time I've finished talking to Logan.As I reached closer to him, he looked at me and then his eyes shifted over my shoulders. "Someone looks angry." He said, indicating his head behind me.I turned and looked behind me and saw Logan still standing where I left him. The only difference was his arms were crossed and he sent a glare in Tyler's direction. If looks could kill, Tyler would be six feet under by now. I turned back to face Tyler. "Good for him. He needs to suck it up and move on with his life."Tyler sent a smirk in Logan's direction before facing me again. "Let's go. We're going to the coffee shop down the street."I gave him a confused look. "Wh
"Woah, so you called off the fake date?" Victoria asked in confirmation.I nodded my head. "Yep."It was the following day and Victoria and I were in the cafeteria. I didn't get a chance to talk to her before, so as soon as she sat down for lunch, I told her everything that transpired yesterday."That's too bad. I really liked your fake relationship." Victoria teased.I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, it was a disaster waiting to happen from the beginning.""By the way, what did he say?" Tori asked."I didn't give him a chance to say anything. I walked away." I replied. "Besides, he should be glad. Now he's free to bang everything that moves. I won't be the one to stand in his way.""That's good for him." Tori took a bite of her slice of pizza. "So, Jason Forrester is keeping a Halloween party at his house next week for Halloween. You going?"I shrugged. "I don't know. My plan was to stay home and watch horror movie marathon.""Come on, it's a costume party. We could wear the outfit that
I still can't believe I'm going to Tyler's family dinner. I hate family dinners. I don't even like attending my own family's dinner and yet here I am. He's going to owe me big time for this.I took a deep sigh to mentally and physically prepare for this night and take a look in my full length mirror. I look simple which was what I was going for. I was in a simple casual light purple dress that I got for Christmas and my brown sandals. My hair was caught in a messy ponytail. I put my phone into my small shoulder bag and went downstairs.My father and Sarah were laughing in the living room when I went down the stairs. I couldn't help the smile that took over my face when I saw then together. I was so glad that my father was happy again. I couldn't ask for anything more."I'm leaving now." I announced, drawing their attention.Dad looked up at me. "Okay sweetheart. Have a good time." He said."And please say hello to Rachel for me." Sarah added."Okay, thanks. I will." I waved at both of
