The rest of that day went by, me thinking about Tyler. I should've got his number out of that book when I had the chance. I never really realized that Jamie was the one who gave me Farrah's yearbook, until now. Well, when I got home, I looked through all of the signatures that were made out to Farrah really. Most of them were for me, but a few were Farrah's, but none of them were from Tyler Plore... I looked through the pictures in the book, I don't want to sound obsessed, but, Tyler was so cute. His blue eyes were sparkling, his blonde hair was flipped to the side of his face, and his teeth were perfectly white, shimmering white. He was wearing a baby blue shirt, it matched his skin tone good.
"Dinner!" My mom yelled up the stairs. I could hear my brother stumbling out of his room, he is a year older than me, he's a senior now, but at the time he was a 10th grader. I got up from my bed, turned off my radio, and ran downstairs myself.
"YES!" My brother, Cory exclaimed. It was taco night. Yippie. Tacos are pretty good, I'm just kind of sick of them. We had them last Tuesday, and I had them for lunch the other day, I feel like the world is trying to make me fat. Like today, I ordered a school pizza, and apparently if you take three carrots or more, you get a free twix bar. WHAT THE HECK? Such a good school lunch system, nobody even eats the carrots. I usually get celery though, it tastes better.
"Everybody, take your taco and sit down," I thought it was weird how my mom said 'everybody', like there was more than three of us in the house. My dad moved on when I was about three. He decided to leave us, although I don't know why. My mom says that 'people change, and things happen' but I feel like he should be here no matter what. I haven't seen my dad since the night he walked out on us. I remember it well, he packed everything up, and just walked out. I watched him out the window as he got in his car and drove away in the storm. The car shimmered. He didn't even say goodbye. He used to call me his little bumblebee, now it just breaks my heart to see a bumblebee even. I was there to watch my father leave, I will never forget it. I remember my mother sitting on the couch crying. Cory was watching dad with me.
"So, how was everyone's day?" My mom asked as we all sat down at our little four person table.
"Me and Jared decided to do baseball this summer!" Cory bit his taco.
"Well, Cory, you know I will support you!" My mom supported everything we did, unless it was something bad. My mom laughed at me as I picked off the lettuce on my taco, "What's wrong with your lettuce dear?"
"Nothing, I just don't feel like lettuce tonight," I set my taco down, not taking one bite out of it.
"Okay?" She looked confused, I guess I would be too. We ate dinner silently, and finally finished. Cory had dish duty, ha. I was glad I didn't have to do them tonight. I dropped my plate in the sink, and threw away my napkin. I made my way into my room, and sat back down on my bed, and listened to music. I closed my eyes for a second, just trying to block everything out of my mind, even though nothing like I have have ever known has happened to me. Yet. Is love an obsession, or just, love? I don't know how to explain it. I didn't know if I loved him yet. I've liked Tyler for a year, but I doubt it would ever happen. I guess he was flirting with me earlier when he signed my ( Farrah's ) yearbook. Or like I said before, I thought of it like his friends were daring him. I opened my eyes, and grabbed my laptop to go on Facebook. There wasn't really anything good on there, like usual. Just everybody talking about how horrible their lives are. Yeah. New message-
