"So you're telling me that Logan was cheating on you because you weren't having sex with him?" Tori asked in a disgusted tone of voice.It was the following day and I was relaying the events that took place after school yesterday to Tori. She wasn't there when it happened or after as she had left school right after her final class because she had to get something done for her mom.Now, we were currently hanging out in the parking lot, waiting for the first bell to ring. "Yes." I said, shaking my head still in disbelief.Tori made up her face in anger. "That pig!" She went on adding some other selective words for Logan in Spanish that I didn't understand."You got that right." I agreed then sighed heavily. "I can't believe I dated him. What did I ever see in him? I was so blind." I added grudgingly.Tori gave me a cheerful smile. "Don't beat yourself up. He was the one using and manipulating you."I nodded. "I know."The bell rang for school to begin and Tori took up her bag and stood
"You miss him don't you?" Tyler asked suddenly after we were quiet for a while."Who?" I turned to face him, shock by his sudden question."Your ex boyfriend." He replied.I shook my head and answered honestly. "No I don't.""I saw you looking at him at the party. I assumed you were missing him and reconsidering giving him another chance.""Of course not!" I said adamantly. I was even shock at the absurdity of the idea. Where did he get that from?"Did you love him?" He asked, bringing me from my thoughts.I was silent for a while. Did I love him? I have never really thought about it before. At one point I thought I did, but now, I'm not sure I ever did. One thing I knew for sure was that I did care a lot about him.There was no question if Logan loved me though. Obviously, he didn't. I still can't believe the last few months of our relationship was a lie."I did care about him." I answered finally. "He was the first guy that I've ever been close to. He was my first boyfriend. Back th
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
