I Hate Loving You.

Chapter 3: Revenge Is Sweet

Tyler's POV

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring in my ear. Time to get ready for school. I walk into the bathroom to get my shower ready. As the water is warming up, I brushed my teeth. I got my towel and stepped into the shower. Once I was done, I combed my hair and tried to spike it a little. Need to look good for Kait---for Mallory. I need to look good for Mallory. I shake the thought of Kaitlyn out of my head as I get ready. I pull on my khakis that all the boys are forced to wear. Then I grab a yellow polo. I put on my shoes and grab my backpack. I walk downstairs and make myself some waffles. I eat my waffles quickly and grab my car keys. I set my backpack on the passenger seat. I have a 20 minute drive to school, which gives me time to think.

I have been thinking to much lately. Maybe I shouldn't think as much and just go where the day takes me. No, I can't. I will most likely fall for her. My thoughts keep dragging on about her. I said these same things yesterday when I made a promise to myself not to be nice to her. I needed her to stop bothering me. And I can't wait to see her today. I need to catch up with Molly. Ok enough with my thoughts.

I turn up the radio and open a window. I get to the school lot within 5 minutes. I turn my car off and sit in it for about 2 minutes thinking abouts what I will have to do today. I see Mallory walk in and wink at some guys on the corner. I whistle at some girls. I see Kaitlyn walking in watching me. I look at her for any emotion. I couldn't see anything because she turned around quickly. I guess Mallory caught my gaze because she came running up to me. "Hey pretty boy. Wanna come over tonight?" I don't give her an answer, but tell her I'd tell her later. I walk to my locker. Kaitlyn is there grabbing her history books.

"Who was that?" she asked me. I gave her a puzzled look. "Don't play dumb. Not with me." I hate that she could read me that easily. I gave a shrug trying to brush it off. "Okay well if you're not going to answer, can you talk?" I looked at her and shrugged again. She looked at me trying to read me. Good luck. I grabbed my books and started to walk away. Just keep walking I told myself. "I'm sorry. Did I miss something?" she asked walking up to me.

"Nope." I said flatly. I looked at her and saw confusion and hurt in eyes, but I shook it off.

"Then why are you trying to ignore me? I thought we were friends or at least getting there." she tried. This is so hard. She continues to walk with me until Mallory shows up. She sees Kaitlyn walking by me and decides to kiss me. She walks with me and Kaitlyn until we get to our history class. "So I'm just going to go out on a limb and say girlfriend." she tries. I give her a laugh and say, "You can call her that if you want." For about the fifth time today, she gives me a confused look. We sit in our seats and start to take notes. I can't help but remember the look she gave me and Mallory
in the parking lot. I keep remembering trying to read it in my head, but she was far away so it was hard to tell.

Finally history class is over and we can walk back to our lockers. When I get there, Kaitlyn is hugging a bunch of guys. I can't help but feel a little jealous. Who were that and why was she hugging them? Is she a player too? I slammed my locker shut and walked to my next class. I felt their stares burn into my back. Next thing I know was Kaitlyn trying to reach me. "What was that all about?" she asked obviously talking about me slamming my locker and walking away. I ignore her and keep walking. She pulls me by my shoulder causing me to look at her. "What is wrong with you today?" I can hear the anger in her voice. I see Mallory and walk towards her. Kaitlyn follows. Mallory is talking with a group of her friends and doesn't see me coming. I spin her around, push her against the lockers, and kiss her. Kaitlyn steps back, turns around, and runs. Once she is gone, I stop kissing Mallory who looks at me taken by surprise.

"I'll talk to you later." I say rushing to class. I almost feel bad for Kaitlyn. I want to tell that I didn't feel anything in the kiss, but that would mean letting my feelings out and I know for certain I wouldn't do that. I walk to biology class and take my seat next to Kaitlyn who avoids eye contact with me. I see her passing notes with one of the guys she was with earlier. I scowl at the thought of that boy. Well this is what I wanted, but it doesn't feel right.

Kaitlyn's POV

I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. I cannot wait to see Tyler. I could not stop thinking about him last night. I think I may have even dreamed about him. I guess you can call me obsessed. I turn in the shower and run downstairs for breakfast. I cook myself some eggs and eat them pretty fast. I run upstairs, hop in the shower, and wash. Once I am out, I wrap my hair in the towel and wash my face and brush my teeth. I open my drawers and look for something nice to wear. My phone beeps and I run to grab it. It's a text from my best guy friends. They are coming to my school! I cannot wait to see them! That's another reason I need a good outfit. I pull out a white tennis skirt and put on a green button up. I grab my Sperrys and head downstairs. I grab my makeup back from the kitchen counter along with my keys and head to the car. I sit in the car applying eye liner, mascara, some blush, and some lip gloss. It's all pretty much natural colors.

I roll down the window and turn the radio up really high. I am in one of the best moods today. I cannot believe the boys are coming and I get to see them! It has been forever. I mean yes we talked in the summer, but I still can't wait to see them. I will introduce them to Tyler and I am sure they will get along great.

I get to school in no time and park my car. I have so much time in the morning since I live so close. As I walk in, I spot Tyler flirting with a bunch of girls and one in particular running at him. She whispered something in his ear and he looked at her before saying something back. He saw me and our eyes met for a second before I turned around. I couldn't let him see me hurt or jealous. I had to act like I was fine. I got to my locker and started getting my books. He came up and I asked him about the girl. He shrugged his shoulders. He thinks I can't see right through him when it comes to this. So I keep asking him. Once he has all his books he starts to walk away from me. I catch up with him and ask, "I'm sorry. Did I miss something?" All he says is "Nope." Oh I bet that answer took a lot of thinking. He is ignoring me and I want to know why. I thought nothing could make my mood or day change, but obviously I was wrong. "Why are you ignoring me?" He shrugs his shoulders ans walks faster. Then to make matters worse, Mallory shows up. She stands on her tip toes and kisses him. She walks with us until she gets to her classroom. We walk into history class. "So I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that she is your girlfriend." I say. He gives a laugh and a smile saying, "You can call her that if you want." I take out my notebook with a sigh and start listening to the lecture.

Class gets done and I rush out of the classroom. I practically run to my locker where the guys are waiting. I run and jump on my best friend in that group wrapping my legs around him hugging him tightly. Tyler gets to his locker and starts to stare. I let go of Toby and he puts me down. Then I hug Caleb and Ian. And last but not least Nick. I hear someone slam their locker behind me and turn around to see Tyler storming out. I say to the guys, "I better go catch up to him and see what's up." They nod giving me an understanding look. I run down the halls ans finally reach Tyler. "What was that all about?" He ignores me and keeps walking. I grab him by the shoulder and make him face me. "What is wrong with you today?" I say anger growing in my voice. I know he heard it too. He turns away and starts heading in another direction. I see a group of girls huddling against a locker. Then I spot her. Mallory. That's where he is going. He pushed her against the locker and kisses her harshly. I can't take this. I run out back to my lockers where the guys are still waiting. Toby notices me first and runs up to me. He puts his arm around me and asks what's wrong. I can't talk. I have a huge lump in my throat. If I try, I will cry more. Tyler comes back I guess looking for something and sees me and Toby hand in hand. He walks to biology class without a word.

I walk into class and Tyler comes in after me. I avoid looking at him knowing if I do it will only make me cry more. I try to focus on the material but I can't. Thankfully Toby is behind me and we can pass notes. Tyler notices and gives a dirty look on his face showing he doesn't like it. Good. Then I pass more notes. This is not what I expected our day to be like. After class, I tell the boys they are welcome to stay over at my house for as long as they need to. Just to make him jealous, I decide to invite Tyler along emphasisng that the boys are all sleeping over. Wonder what he is going to say. I see his body grow stiff. Ha. Nice seeing him get a little jealous. "You can even invite your girlfriend." I say. I know I will be all over the boys. And they will play along making dirty jokes and everything. Good to have my guys back. Just need Tyler's answer...
