On Monday afternoon when I got home from school, I was greeted by Sarah in the living room."Did you remind Tyler that he's coming over for dinner today?" Sarah asked me."Yes." I replied as I turned and walked upstairs to my room. When I got upstairs, I quickly get all my homework done.When I was finished, I took a quick shower to get ready for dinner. Today was the day I was dreading because Tyler was coming over for dinner. I was really hoping for my father to forget, but that hope went down the drain when he told me this morning that I should invite Tyler over for dinner today.At about six o' clock, I was dressed and ready for dinner. Tyler was right on time as well as I heard the doorbell sounded downstairs. Sarah was in the kitchen getting dinner finished and Dad was in his room, so I walk downstairs quickly to get the door.When I opened the door, Tyler was leaning on the doorframe on the other side. "Hey, come on in." I said. Tyler stepped inside the house and I closed the d
"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
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
