Not Giving Up

[10] How To Deal With It

Wendy's POV

"Sometimes in life, you end up falling for the person you thought you would never have feelings for."

It was Monday again. Tyler gave me a ride to school."You looked beautiful." I controlled myself from blushing. Why? Because I only wore shirt, jeans and sneakers but he still thinks I'm beautiful. 

The time passed unknowingly. The sun's going down and dismissal came. Tyler supposes to drive me home but he still has basketball practice. He insisted on it but I refused, his game will start next week and I don't want to be a disturbance.

Since Tyler can't give me a ride, I went to the parking lot to search for Ali's car. I gave out a long sigh. No sign of her pink Mazda Rx8, looks like I'll be walking.  Before I go home I decided to enjoy the view sitting on the bench in the school's parking lot. A cold breeze passed me. I took out my jacket and placed the hood on. A group of girls passed behind me.

"Have you heard Tyler and Wendy are still together? She's such a b*tch." said a girl with a squeaky voice.

"I know right?! She's so out of his league."

What the?!

"She must have seduced him or something. Wh*re much!" This time, I know to whom that voice belongs but I'm not quite sure. I looked back slightly to see who they are and.. bingo, the cheerleaders including Ashley, my best friend once until she became popular. I don't know why Noah likes anyway. She changed.

When their voices finally went blur I took a deep breath and stood up. As I did, I bumped into something hard then I realize it was.... Noah.

"It's been a long time." A warm smile formed on his lips.

Tyler's POV

"I'll make up it to you."

She gave me a smile. A smile that lightens up my day everyday. A smile that I would always love to see.

"I'll treat you tonight, Promise."

"You know, you shouldn't promise to much, just do it."

I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer. I kissed her forehead. "And I will. Pick you up at 7"

"Sure." 

I went back to reality and reminded myself that I still have to train my boys. Coach Jim is on a break.

 "Move move move!" I roared as it echoed throughout the gym. I shoot every ball perfectly. Hell yeah I’m the star player! But of course every shoot is for her (Wendy). I can't wait to get this thing over.

Wendy's POV

We walked side by side as the sun goes down. We didn't talk too much these past few days since he's already popular while I'm still me. I can't blame him, he looked gorgeous! And with my help of course. I felt happy for him. He became popular, got recognize, didn't got bullied anymore and got the girl that he likes.

With all the positive thoughts that surrounds his situation there is still something bothering me. Maybe because our friendship as average people didn't last, I mean he's already popular right? But hey, I'm still glad he still approaches me from time to time and that's all that matters.

"I'm sorry you have to hear those rumours." He's taking about the cheerleaders that are gossiping about me seducing Tyler.

"Woah. Why are you even apologizing? You're not even the one who said it." He smiled but faded quickly in just a snap. "I heard our plan worked." Rumours spread fast around the campus about Noah and Ashley are going out.
