CHAPTER 18
“Speak of the devil.” Tyler mocked me in a fake girl voice and rolled his eyes.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, annoyed.
“I go to this school, dumbass.” Tyler answered. “And I’m here to talk to Courtney. Cause believe me, I try to stay away from you as much as I possibly can.”
“What, now your scared of me?” I smirked and raised my eyebrows at him.
Tyler rolled his eyes. “No ones scared of you.” He said and moved to the side to talk to Courtney but she wasn’t there. She left us here. Gee, she probably can’t stand and watch any other girl talk to him.”Thanks a lot.” Tyler glared at me.
“What were you going to ask her?” I asked, genuinely curious.
“I don’t think that’s any of your business.” Tyler crossed his arms over his chest.
“What? Is it a date?” I asked in curiosity
“No.”
“Then what?”
“Something about a party.” Tyler answered.
“That is a date, dummy.” I stated.
“Theres a party tonight. A stupid
sleep over party. Courtney wanted me to go with her. I just wanted to ask her what time should I pick her up.”
I made my way in front of the soccer field but stopped to look around for a few seconds.
There were guys dribbling balls and some trying to score in the soccer net.
Tyler was standing next to the benches with a soccer ball under his left leg as he was watching the guys practice. He looked really hot even though his hair was all wet and sweaty, but pushed back by his hands going through it one too many times. How can he be sweating anyway? It’s like thirty degrees out here!
There were also a few girls from our school on the bleachers watching the guys practice. They’re probably a few sluts waiting to steal one of the guys for a good time tonight. Yeah, I was just mad at the whole freaking school.
I watched as one of the girls looked at Tyler with a flirty smile, Tyler winked at her and the girl just melted in awe.
I rolled my eyes at that. All the girls are in love with this jerk face. It’s so annoying.
I marched right over to Tyler and stood in front of him. I wiped a tear that slid down my cheek and slapped him right across the face.
The jerk deserved it.
At first he was taken by surprise, but then he yelled. “What the hell is wrong with you!!”
“No what the hell is wrong with you!?” I yelled back.
Tyler looked at me with an annoyed expression and rolled his eyes. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the guys from the soccer team and the sluts from the benches look at us.
“How can you even say something like that! You know it’s a hurtful thing and a huge lie but you say anything you know will hurt me! And that makes you happy! You know how many times you made me cry when we were kids!?” I said a little quieter, but still loud. “You bullied me since we were in elementary, you tried to make my life a living hell! And it worked, so congratulations Tyler Evans. You’ve done it. You destroyed my life.” And other year slid down my cheek, but this time I let it drop down to the ground.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I pulled my sleeve across my nose to make sure no burgers are sliding out of there. I know, it’s disgusting, but what can I do right now?
“What did I ever do to you?!” By now, tears were sliding down my cheek uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold it anymore. I was crying like an idiot.
Tyler’s eyes were looking deep into mine. For a moment I saw sadness and sorry eyes but in a blink, it disappeared.
“Your such a stupid liar.” And when I said that, I wasn’t only talking about what he said to all the guys in the locker room earlier today. I was talking about the promise he made me when we were kids too.
At that moment, the memory when I used to have a crush on him popped up in my head. I hate that I did, but I could never take it back.
Now everyone is going to think of me as a slut now.
I walked away, still crying. I didn’t are how many people see me like this. I just couldn’t hold it all in.
God Lexi, why do you have to be so damn emotional?
*************************
Lexi’s POV:
“I’m not speaking to you.” I said when I closed my locker, looking straight at Courtney’s blue eyes.
While I was getting my books for class, Courtney was just ranting something about what Tyler said and something about how he’s been such a good friend to her and blah blah blah.
“And I don’t care what Tyler said. I never did.” I added.
Courtney looked shocked. Really
shocked. “W-what did I do? What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong is that you haven’t been much of a friend to me lately. Emily was the only one there for me while your out having fun with your
new best friend, Tyler, all the time.” I ranted harshly. “I’ve been upset these past few days with people judging me for something I didn’t do and you come up to me talking about how Tyler’s so sweet or whatever. You know I couldn’t care less about Tyler Evans!”
Courtney’s face flushed in embarrassment. I’ve never seen her this shocked since I met her the time I met Tyler.
I haven’t seen Tyler for a week and that’s probably the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time. It’s like a vacation from stress.
“I’m sorry Lexi. I really-”
“Save your sorry.” I snapped.
I really I hate being mad at her but everything I said is true. She wouldn’t even tell me what Tyler said last week just to save his ass.
I turned around and my face slammed into something hard. “Ow.” I mumbled as I rubbed my nose.
I looked up to see Tyler looking down at me. I bumped into his freaking chest. Most girls would enjoy it and never wash they’re face ever again. But it looks like I have some deep scrubbing to do.
