Valerie Hernandez
Did that just happened?
I can’t believe my eyes.
The crowds made their way to the winner and cheering loudly. I turned my head to Tyler who’s getting out of the car and walked to him hurriedly. I unconsciously throw my arm around his neck and hugged him tightly.
He stiffened by my action at first then relaxes. He returned my hug as he put his arms around my waist and buried his face into my hair. My heart beats faster and I could feel the heat rising from my neck. I hope he don’t hear how fast my heart beats.
"Tyler, man! Congrats." I heard Ryan congratulate him and I let go of him. As soon as I’m off of his arms, I felt cold. The warmth that was in their faded. I took a step back and stood beside Jae awkwardly. The other congratulate him and so as the other guys in the track.
Fred jumped out of his car fuming and marched his way to Tyler. He demanded a rematch and said Tyler’s
Valerie HernandezAs soon as I arrived at my room, I buried my face onto the pillow and cry. My heart hurt seeing the look on his face and word that came out from his mouth. It’s like he hate me because of what I did. What got me shocked was when he admitted he likes me. I never knew he likes me considering we always argue and annoyed each other guts.Liam was right.Is this what Ryan meant? Tyler is mad at me when he heard me and Liam getting back because he likes me. If he likes me, why didn’t he tell me?The next day went on and it felt different. I don’t feel like going to school. Tyler avoid me even when we have the same class. I didn’t get to see him in lunch too. Carmen knew something was wrong with me, thankfully she doesn’t ask me. she squeezed my shoulder and gave me a reassuring smile.Liam and I meet up again. He told me he wants us to stop meeting quietly and let the school knows we’
Tyler WilliamsMy dad is the man I hate the most. He only thinks about himself and the company. He never gives a fuck if I exist or not. He always been like that since I was a kid. I always wonder the reason why he acts so cold to me, but mom always said he is tired or busy.Even though we rarely communicate, he still manages to control my life. Dad wanted me to become a professional basketball player. Since I was in elementary school, he made me join the basketball team which I was force too and he even hired a private coach to teach and guide me to become an amazing player.He also made sure that I always have a good grade in every subject. It was so stressing and pressuring. In junior high, I finally have the guts to talk to him and tell him that I don’t want to be a basketball player cause it’s not my passion. As he heard that, he became furious. He was mad and even grounded me.Mom then told me dad have this obsession of
Valerie Hernandez"That was a nice evening. I could finally see the sunset." Tyler nods his head in agreement. "Come, I’ll give you a ride." He raise his brows at me, hands in his pocket. "You sure about that? Now that you are back with your boyfriend?"I rolled my eyes. "Why do you always say, your boyfriend instead of Liam?""Because he’s your boyfriend." He stated the obvious.Smartass."You’re so complicated." The corner of his lip turned up and I know he is annoying me. He seems doing a good job at that."Hey," Tyler turns around. "thanks for telling me about your dad earlier. I know is not easy for you especially when you’re not the type of person to randomly pour your heart to.""You know, you’re the second person to know about my dad besides Noah. You should be flatter." He said in a playful tone. Rolling my eyes for the second time, I step down at the last stairs and walked to my
Tyler Williams"No, no, no. That is wrong. You should multiply the number in the brackets, then use the formula that I told you before." Valerie explained it to me for the third times.True to her word, she really did tutor me.This is the third day of her tutoring me. The two of us agree to do it in my house since no one really at home other than me. It’s been like 2 hourish since Valerie tutoring me. I know for a fact that she’s slowly getting irritated because I couldn’t get the answer right.If only she knew I did it on purpose.The topic that we’re studying it’s actually not that hard. After she gave me her notes and studying it, I could already understand it, but since I like messing with her, I pretend to play dumb. Besides, this is the only way for me to spend time with her.We didn’t talk around her friends only when we both have classes together or at home. I don’t know if
Valerie Hernandez"You’re not going to come?""No, I’m sorry.""Why?""I- I don’t feel too well." I hate lying but after talking to mom yesterday, I need time to think about my feelings. "Okay, get well soon. I love you." He said in a disappointment tone. "Thank you and good luck on the game!" I ended the call and sighed.Heading down the stairs, I stop by the kitchen to grab myself a bottle of water only to found my mom and dad are kissing. Instantly my eyes shut closed. "Please, get a room! Not in the kitchen." I heard my dad loud laughed and I open my eyes."I thought you are going out this afternoon." I shook my head as I open the fridge to get a water bottle. "Nope, I decided to not come to the game." Both my parents looked at each other. "What?My dad spoke. "Usually, you are so excited to watch your boyfriend in action. What’s wrong?" I fake a smile. "Nothing is wrong. I’m just not
Valerie HernandezThroughout the dinner my dad and Tyler are really comfortable within each other presence. They kept talking and laughing about everything. I don’t know if Tyler laugh because of my dad jokes so he wouldn’t feel bad if he doesn’t laugh or he genuinely laugh because it is funny.I can’t tell, but from the sound of his laughter its sound genuine."Honestly, I don’t get what you two are laughing about?" I said with a frowned on my face.Dad looked at me. "You don’t get my jokes?""I never get your jokes dad even mom." Dad immediately face mom. "You don’t get my jokes honey?""No! I do well most of the time." She smile sheepishly. "Tyler, my jokes aren’t that bad right?" I glanced at Tyler and saw him shaking his head. "No, of course not. I find it funny.""See… even Tyler like it." I rolled my eyes. "He’s a liar." I muttered lowly. Dad raised h
Valerie HernandezFeeling the sun penetrate through the window, I slightly open my eyes. My eyes move around the room and stop at the clock.9:00"Shit! I’m late for school!" I jumped up but not before pressing my palm down on a hard surface."Shit!" a deep voice cursed out loud. I looked down and saw Tyler frowning while rubbing his chest that I press quite hard. "Geez woman… not only you are loud in the morning but you’re violent too.""Why are you here?" I asked feeling startled seeing his presence in the morning. "Um… this is my house?""What?""Looked around… this ain’t your house." My eyes move around the room to justify Tyler’s words and he’s right. "Oh." I said feeling a little embarrassed. "And why are you yelling?""Because we’re late for school." A moment of silent filled the air until Tyler burst out laughing. Frowning and annoy
Valerie Hernandez"What the- why are you taking me to an empty track?""To test drive your car obviously." He said in a matter of fact. I frown from the passenger seat. "But we have been driving this car since this morning and the car looks fine. I think it is not necessary to do what you have in mind.""Oh, come on… just try it. It will be fun." Staring at him as I narrow my eyes, I shook my head. "No thanks. I don’t want to.""Please, it will be fun. You gotta live a little.""I’m still not sure if the car is hundred percent decent to drive in a high speed.""Your car will be fine. Want me to show you?" before I even got the chance to speak, Tyler step on the gas and the car lurched forward. I hold on to the car handle as if my life depend on it. Tyler drive the car like he is on a race. I peek through the speed meter and saw him almost driving past 100 miles per hour.This man is crazy!He
