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
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
"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
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 ran down the stairs, as soon as I heard a car horn outside. As I got outside, I saw my boyfriend in his car waiting on me. I went up to the car and got in."Hi babe." Logan Cummings leaned over to the passenger side and kisses me on my cheek."Hi." I greeted as he started the engine and drove to school. We were at school in ten minutes and we both got out."I have to see my science teacher about an assignment, so I'll see you at lunch, okay?" Logan said to me."Okay." I said. He was always meeting teachers a lot lately. I also notice that he was avoiding me most of the times and cancelling our dates.Logan and I have been dating for a year now, but recently, I've realized that he had become distant. Shaking my head of Logan's weird behaviour, I went into the school's building."Emily!" I heard my best friend, Victoria Hernandez shouted as I walked down the hall. I turned around and see her walking up to catch me.Victoria was Hispanic and originally from Cuba. She has a great person
That night, I slept over at Victoria's house. After crying in her arms at school, I had told her what I had saw. She was just as surprised as I was, because she would always say that Logan and I would last and we were made for each other.I didn't even enjoy Maria's dinner and I always love it. I guess I was too distracted and heartbroken to enjoy it. Victoria did everything she could to cheer me up. We watched movies and ate ice-cream all night. It helped because for a while I forget everything, but there was always something that brought the memories back.Logan called my phone a few times, but I ignored his call. When his calls became incessant and annoying, I shut my phone off. I didn't want to hear what he had to say. I didn't want to hear his lies and excuses. The following day, I was at my locker getting my books for class, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see who it was. When I saw the person, I turn back around. My anger returning again."I know that you ha
When I got home, I head for the kitchen to get a bottle of water. My stepmother, Sarah, is at the stove cooking dinner. She turn around when I enter."Hi." She greeted me."Hello," I responded. She turns back around and continues cooking dinner. That was how it was between Sarah and I. We didn't really say much to each other. I didn't have anything against her. She was a nice enough lady. However, ever since my dad married her almost a year ago, she had never said much to me and I've never said much to her. Just greetings and small talk. Sometimes, I wonder, if she hates me, even though she has never done or said anything mean to me before.I didn't know my mother. She died when I was just two, so it has always been my dad and I. A year and a half ago, my dad met Sarah and I have never seen him happier. She was the first woman that he has dated since Mom died that he truly loves. I was glad that he was happy and Sarah was the one to make that happen, so I didn't mind at all."Is my da
Tyler put his hands on my waist and pull me closer to him. I could feel his entire body press up against mine. Thinking it was now time to end this, I broke the kiss and pull away from him, creating a few distance between us. Tyler was looking at me, an arrogant smirk on his lips."Well, what do we have here?" Tyler said. "I know you couldn't resist me, Sweet Cheeks, but next time give me a warning first. I'll be happy to oblige anytime." He winked at me.I roll my eyes. Boy, was he arrogant! This is why I avoid him like the plague. He was too full of himself. "Please don't flatter yourself. I'm only here for one reason only.""Yes I know. You want me." He responded smugly.Before I could respond, I heard a locker door slam loudly. I turn around in that direction to see Logan storming away. I smiled. Mission accomplished. Tyler followed my line of vision and then chuckle."Ahh, I see. Putting on a show for your boyfriend?" He asked.Now that Logan had left, I step away from Tyler comp

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
Emily's POV"Hey, you've been spacing out on me all morning. What's up?" Tori asked me as we sat in the library after school doing homework.I looked up at Tori. "Nothing's up. I'm just thinking." 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
