"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
The weekend went by and now it was Sunday evening. I was currently sitting up in bed reading one of my favourite books; The Hunger Games. I can't count how many times I've read it.I was so indulged in the book, that I hadn't heard the soft tap on my window at first. When I hear the second tap, I put the book down and listen. After a while, I hear it again. Yep, I definitely wasn't imagining things.I rest the book on my bedside table and got off the bed. I went over to my window and open the curtains. I slide the window pane up and look out. Tyler was sitting on his window sill, looking as comfortable as ever. He had a few pebbles in his hands."Were you planning on breaking my window?" I ask."No, I didn't hit it that hard." He shrug his shoulders as if it was nothing."What do you want?" I ask, getting to the point."I just wanted to tell you that I'll be waiting for you tomorrow to drive you to school." He said.I scrunch up my eyebrows in confusion. "Why?""We are suppose to be d
Lunch went by and surprisingly, I have to admit, it wasn't as bad as expected.Now, Tyler and I were walking to our next class. We both have English class together, so we had parted ways with Seth and Tori.We had just reached the door of our classroom, when Tyler spoke. "I forgot to mention that you're coming over to my house later today."I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him. I lifted my eyebrows curiously. "Why?"Tyler rubbed the back of his neck, which was uncharacteristic of him. "Over the weekend, my mother, for the hundredths time, was lecturing me about my ways," he rolled his eyes at that. "So I told her that I have a girlfriend. She got all happy and excited and said that I should bring you over for dinner."My eyes widen a little. The last thing I wanted was to meet Tyler's mother as his fake girlfriend. That would definitely be awkward. However, a deal was a deal and part of my deal was to pretend to date Tyler for his mother's sake.Trying my best not to show how
