Loves Me, Loves Me Not

Chapter 5

"Tyler, I'm at school!" I whined into my phone, he chuckled deeply.

"But Tori! Don't leave me!" He whined back.

"Stop begging me, you know I will give in!" I sighed.

"Nah Dah! That's was I'm hoping for!" He answered matter of a factly.

"But Tyyyllleeerrr-"

"Who's Tyler?" Someone whispered behind me, I jumped and turned.

Jules.

"Call you later, babe." I said hanging up.

I looked around me, Cassie was sitting across me with Mark playing with the fingers if her left hand, Cas looked a little irritated but didn't say anything. Addison was looking at me with huge eyes.

"You like him!" She accused.

I put my hands up defensively, "I do not!"

"Who is Tyler?" Jules snapped.

Addy mouth 'have fun' and looked away.

"He's just a friend!" I cooed, "Jules! Sit down and quit looking at me like that!"

He complied and took the seat next to me. It was lunch on Thursday, and everyone was excited about Jules' party.

"So Tori.." Jules begun while I took a sip over water, "Come over a little earlier tomorrow, I need to be ready to 'party' before the party starts." He said wrapping an arm around my waist. I choked on my water, and coughed.

"Excuse me?!" I glared at him.

"What?" He asked surprised.

"Jules you tell me! You want to 'party' before the party?!" I was standing up and talking really loud, a few people looked at us.

"Tori! Calm down! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out, we can take it slow if you'd like." Jules thought he was comforting me.

"Jules no! We are friends, nothing more, nothing less!"

"But.. I thought.. You liked me?! I mean, I like you!" Jules stuttered.

"Told you so," Addy mumbled. I ignored her.

"No, Jules. Friends, okay?" I confirmed.

"Okay..?" Jules muttered looking a little lost. "You're still coming though?" He asked looking hopeful.

"'Course," I promised.

"Do you think Mark will like this dress more? Or this one?" Cassie asked Addison and myself, although I felt like the question was mostly aimed at Tyler. We were on Skype at my house, Addison had gone to Cassie place after school and convinced Cas' older brother David to drive them back to Addison's then to mine with all their party dresses.

So right now, my walk in wardrobe is stocked with dresses of all styles, colours, lengths, shapes and what not.

Cassie was stuck between a long dark purple cocktail dress that still touched the floor while she was in heals. And a short red dress with a huge bow that covered her chest.

Before either Addy or I could say something Tyler summed it up.

"If you planning in doing 'anything', you go with the short dress, your boyfriend will like it mores."

At least he was honest.

"I think I'm going to going with this." Addison held up the dress for everyone to examine.
