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 completely and cross my arms. "He is not my boyfriend anymore and yes, I want him to think that I have moved on."
He lifted his brow in amusement. "So, you used me?" I search his face. He didn't look offended at all. In fact, he seem to be enjoying himself.
"Yes, because you were here." I said, then added. "And now I regret it, because you are nothing more than an arrogant jerk. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go. This was a bad idea. I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
"It's okay, I don't mind. You can use me anytime." He smirk, "Don't hesitate to ask."
I make up my face in disgust. "You're disgusting! Just forget I kissed you." I said, before turning away from him completely and walk away. I don't know why I decided to kiss him. God! What was I thinking? Now, I know it was a very bad idea. Shaking all thoughts of Tyler from my head, I left the school and head home.
++++++
"So, you just walked up to him and kissed him?" Tori asked me at school the following day. We were in our homeroom sitting down and waiting for the bell to ring.
"Yep." I confirmed. As soon as I got to school, I told Tori about what I did yesterday. To say she was surprised was an understatement.
"Wow, you must really want Logan to get lost." Tori surmise in a tone of surprise. Tori and I have been best friends from freshman year, so she knew me well. She knew I would never do something so impulsive without a motive. "So, what did Logan do?"
"He stormed away." I replied, feeling a small bit of satisfaction.
Tori smile. "Serves him right. Hopefully, he will stop bothering you now." I nodded my head in agreement. We were silent for a while, until Tori spoke again. "What was it like kissing a boy like Tyler?"
I look up at her surprise by her question. She saw my look and quickly held up her hands in defense. "I'm just curious."
"Well, not that I was paying much attention, he was actually a great kisser." I answer after thinking about it.
"Wow, who would have thought?" I just shrug. Certainly not me, because I've never thought about Tyler in that way before. The bell rang shortly after and Mrs. Hilton, came and roll call began.
Today was one of those days that dragged on and when school finally ended, I was glad for the end of the long day. However, I didn't feel like going home as yet, so I went to a coffee shop that was a few miles away from school.
This is the closest coffee shop to our school, so a lot of students from our school will hang out here. So I wasn't surprised when I saw a few student here now, especially that today was Friday.
I ordered a cappuccino and a slice of apple pie and took a seat in an empty booth. I don't know why, but I was craving apple pie. I guess craving sweet was part of the heartbreak process.
I had just finish eating and took out my phone to check my social media, when someone slid into the seat in front of me. I look to see who the person was and scowl. "Are you following me now?"
Tyler chuckled lightly. "Of course not." I shake my head and went back to my phone, ignoring him. "You know, I was trying to figure out where I know you from and when I got home yesterday, I figured it out." He continued. "You're the girl that lives next door to me."
I put my phone down on the table and look up at him. "Yes, you're right, but I'm sorry, there is no award. So why don't you leave me alone?"
He smile amusingly. "You're a feisty one, aren't you?"
I heaved a sigh, getting annoyed. "Is there something that you want, Tyler?" I ask.
"Yes, actually, there is." I look at him, waiting on him to continue, so he can leave. "I have a proposition for you."
I snorted. "And why do you think I'll be interested in anything concerning you?"
"Because we'll both be gaining from this. Look at it this way, you'll be helping me and I'll be helping you." He answered.
"How can you possibly help me?" I ask, folding my arms on the table.
"By being my girlfriend." He replied.
My eyes widen at his suggestion. "What?!" I spoke a little too loud, causing a few heads to turn in our direction. He must be crazy if he thought I was going to agree to that.
He laugh at my reaction. "Don't worry, it won't be real. We'll be fake dating."
"Why?" I ask curiously, speaking in a normal volume again. I mean, what kind of person comes up with an idea like that?
He rest his hands on the table, speaking softly so no one would hear what he was saying. "Look, if we pretend to date, your ex boyfriend will for sure see that you've moved on and finally leave you alone. Isn't that what you want?"
I was silent for a moment. He was right, I wanted Logan to stop trying to get me back, but that doesn't mean I was going to do something as insane as dating Tyler King. "Why do you want to help me? What's in it for you?" I ask.
"My mother is on my case, saying that I should find a steady girlfriend and stop moving from one girl to the next. So, if I pretend that I've got a girlfriend, she would finally stop with her matchmaking and stop pressuring me to get a girlfriend." He said with that notorious smirk on his lips.
I roll my eyes. Of course it was something like that. He was known for his player ways and he wouldn't give it up that easily. Wouldn't want Mr. Player to stop with his conquest of girls by settling down. "Why did you choose me?" I ask, trying to make sense of all this.
"Because you were the only one I knew that would be gaining something from this scheme." He answered. "The idea came to me when you kissed me yesterday."
He seem so sure of this, while I, on the other hand, was unsure. Doing this with Tyler seem like a bad idea. For more reasons than I cared to list out.
Tyler stretch his hands across the table. "So, do we have a deal?"
I look at his outstretch hand and frown. Should I do this? Was it worth it? I know I wouldn't like this, but I really did want Logan to know that it was over between us. Even though, it was a bad idea, it was also a great opportunity. Pushing away all caution, I lifted my hands and shook Tyler's. "Deal."
A slow smile crease his face and I know that I've just made the biggest mistake of my life. His smile turn into a grin and I know for certain, I was going to regret this.
Boy, was I in for trouble.
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
"I'll be over in two hours." I said to Tyler, when I got out of his car. He nodded his head, before turning the car in the direction of his house to park.When I got into my house, I went up to my room and did my homework. One hour later, I took a shower and now I was trying to figure out what to wear. I didn't know what kind of person Tyler's mom was and frankly, I didn't want to screw it up for him.After ten minutes more of indecision, I finally settled on a simple dress. It was a mere casual dress that was lime green, patterned with a few flowers. I didn't do anything to my hair. I let it hung loose in its natural curl. I slip on a black slipper and went downstairs.While I was getting ready, Sarah had came home and now she was in the kitchen getting dinner started. "Hey Sarah."She looked around at my voice. "Oh hey, want to help me with dinner?" She asked hopefully.I looked at her, regretfully. It was actually the first time she was asking me this and I felt bad that I couldn't
The dinner was delicious and Rachel was great dinner company. I ate every single thing, which Rachel was delighted about. When we were finished eating, Rachel went to the kitchen and came back with slices of the chocolate cake that I had brought earlier. Even though I couldn't eat anything more, I accepted the offered slice.After I finished the last crumb of the cake, I looked up at Rachel across the table. "Thanks again for dinner, Rachel. It was amazing." I commended.She smiled brightly. "You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.""Thanks." I returned her smile, which was contagious.She clasped her hands in excitement suddenly. "Oh, I have to show you Tyler's pictures. I'll go get my album." She said, getting up instantly.Tyler, who was beside me, eyes widen. "No, Mom. I don't think that is necessary. Emily has to leave now anyways." He said quickly, trying to stop his mother.His mother brushed his comment aside. "Oh, nonsense. I'm sure Emily would be happy to see it." She said,
"How is your fake dating with Tyler coming along?" Tori asked on Wednesday. She was lying on her stomach across her bed, swinging her feet in the air. As soon as we left school we head over to her house and was here talking about random things."It's going okay. Everyone seems to believe we are actually a couple and Logan hasn't said anything to me in two days, so I guess it's working." I responded. "At least, I hope so." I added. I was sitting in front of Tori on the bed, my back against the headboard. "I wish I'd seen the look on his face when he saw that you were dating Tyler." She chuckled. "The cheating jerk deserves it. No me gusta nada."I smiled at Tori's words. Ever since Logan cheated on me, Tori despised him. She never fails to express how much she hates him. After a while, Tori turned on the bed and sat up, facing me. "So, what are you going to be for Halloween?""Aren't we too old to dress up for Halloween, Tori?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at her."Nonsense, it's fun
The one thing I love about Fridays is that it was the day that students would leave school rather than hang around. They would either go shopping, to Starbucks or just go somewhere to hang out and celebrate the fact that it was the weekend.That fact came quiet clear as soon as I stepped into the school's library. There was only a handful of students in here. Normally, it would be packed with students doing homework, but they knew that they have the entire week for homework, so not much students stayed over. The students that were in here were either reading a book or a few book worms, studying. I, on the other hand, was coming up here to pass time.Today was the day that Sarah and I were going shopping. I was looking forward to spending time with her and seeing what kind of person she was. I actually felt bad that it took a year for us to do something like this.Sarah told me that she was going to pick me up from school at 3:30. I had an hour to spare, so I decided to go up to the li
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
