Tyler's POV

Okay so that didn't go as I was expected. I thought Kaitlyn would kiss me back or at least let me kiss her. But she kept trying to pull away. Something was wrong with me too. I had Mallory in the car watching and waiting. This is going to be long. I opened the car door and noticed she was crying. Gosh darn it. I ruin everything. "Tyler. Look. I knew you had a thing for Kaitlyn the first day she came to school. You had that look in your eye as you looked at her. I know because that's how you used to look at me. I catch you staring at her everyday. You seem distant when we are together. You keep trying to get her. You get jealous when she is with other boys. You fight for her. Tyler. You love her. And I love you. And just as the saying goes : If you love someone. Let them go. So I'm letting you go. Thanks for a great time since 8th. To make it all the way to junior year... that was amazing. 4 years. But you clearly are over it. And I guess, deep down, I am too. Go for Kaitlyn." She gives me a long, sweet, compassionate, goodbye kiss. Then she gets out of the car.

Good. I am such an...ugh. I ruin everything. I know I said I wanted to break up with Mallory but I didn't expect so soon. And especially now. I can't go to Kaitlyn about this because she is part of this problem. I might as well go to my best friend, Aiden's house. I drive way past the speed limit without being pulled over. I knock on the door and he opens it. I walk straight in without saying hi or anything.

"Okay what did you do?" I chuckle. "That obvious huh?" "Tyler what did you do?" I sigh and sit on the couch and pour out everything to him from day 1 of school. All the way to now. 1 week. As if he read my mind he answered "Wow. Already made 3 enemies the first week in. Toby. Kaitlyn. And now Austin. Why do you do that to people? It's not fair to them." "That's exactly what Kaitlyn said when she told me off. 'Don't mess with someones freaking feelings. It's not fair to them.' But I can't help it."

Aiden gets up and grabs his leather jacket. He tells me to get in the car and I do so. "Where are we going?" He looks at me. "To fix some things. First of all... where does Kaitlyn live?" I give him a look saying he is crazy. "Tyler. Now. I wanna see the girl you are in love with." I give him her address and soon enough we are there. I knock on the door with Aiden right behind me. Her sister opens the door and she smirks. "Your the guy that saw me shirtless." I blushed and Aiden knocked me in the head. "You what?!? You didn't tell me that!" "Wasn't that important?" Aiden gives me a disappointed look before continuing "You saw Kaitlyn's sister topless and you didn't give her a look or say anything?" I look away blushing. Aiden just shakes his head as we walk in.

"You know I really didn't mind the look since he is cute enough..." I snicker and look at Aiden. I ignore his looknand sit down right next to Kaitlyns sister. "So what is your name?" She plays with the buttons on my shirt. "Skylar." Cute. She looks pretty similar to Kaitlyn. Brown hair. Brown eyes. Same smile. "I'm Tyler." "Yeah I know who you are. Kaitlyn has told me all about you." And she brings up Kaitlyn talking about me. "Ah." Aiden gets up walking into the kitchen saying he is getting a drink. Me and Skylar talk for a while and Aiden stays in the kitchen. I get up to go look for him but Skylar pulls me back down. "He is fine." she gives me the puppy dog face. I hesitate before sitting back down. "So I'm guessing your single?" I nod my head yes and she smiles widely. "And your a junior so I am only a year older. So...." I move my hands willing her to go on. I knew where she was going. I didn't mind. Might be what I need. I get part of Kaitlyn but not Kaitlyn. Plus she is older so no drama. We have been talking for over 2 hours now so I feel like I know her well enough. She doesn't say anything. So I made the first move and kissed her. And she kissed back. It was going great, until Kaitlyn walked down. And Aiden walked out.

"Ew. Gross. Tyler I know you hate me but I didnt think you would go for my sister. And who the heck are you?"

Kaitlyns POV

As soon as I finished changing into my skinny jeans, white tshirt, brown leather jacket, and brown boots, I walked downstairs. To the worst site possible. So I told him. "Ew. Gross. Tyler I know you hate me but I didn't think you would go for my sister." And then this cute looking high school guy walks out of my kitchen and spits out his drink. "What the hell Tyler?! I took you here to make things right not make out with her sister." And then he looks at me. "Wow....I can see why Tyler talks about you all the time." I look at him. He scoots away from my sister. "Aw thanks. But he should know I have..." I choose my words carefully here. "no feelings for him but anger. Has he told you everything he has done to me?" The mystery boy looks at Tyler who rubs his hands on his face. "No." I nod my head. "We should go over that sometimes. As for now I need to go. Oh and what's your name?" "Aiden. And do you have to go now? Tyler came to apologize." I laugh. "And we see how well that worked out." He laughs too. "Oh and here is my number. Tell me when you want me to rant about Tyler." And I walk out.

Aiden seems nice but I got Austin right now. Aiden is a friend. And I don't like him more than that. I promise. I walk by the car only to hear guys whistling from the street. I give them a pose to make them think I care and then flip them off. I get in Austin's car. "Hey beautiful." I smile and give him a peck. "So where are we going?" "We are going to a place. And we will be back when we are." I laugh already knowing he wasn't going to tell me. They never do. But I was hoping anyways.

We pull up to a small yet pretty yet casual restuatant. "Oooo! What is this place?" I ask as we walk in. "It is called Luigi's. It's a little Italian place I used to go to but stopped after a while." We are seated at the table and soon enough our food is over. The date flies by considering we have been talking about everything. I learned he is practically a math genius and about some of his older relationships. I also told him about today and he was very comforting. I also told him he has made me feel more confident. I showed it today I think. He has helped me stand up for myself. During all the talk my phone buzzed from an unknown number. It read:

Can I hear about Tyler now?

me: Aiden?

Yupp

me: can it wait?

how long?

me: why does it matter? I have a boyfriend you know.

yeah I do. Tyler.

me: wrong. I gtg. talk to u soon

Austin gets the bill and I offer to pay some but he refuses. We walk out with my arm in his. We get to his car and I lean agaisnt it. My brown hair is blowing in the wind. "Would you wanna take a walk?" I ask him pointing to a dirt trail. He nods and we start to walk. "Austin," He looks at me, "thank you. For everything. You have made me feel, I guess, wanted. And loved. And special. I just wanted to let you know that." He stops me and cups my face before kissing me. Once again I wrap my arms around his neck and he grabs my waist. My hands tangle in his hair and we are now against a tree. I break apart first and rest my forehead against his. He smiles and so do I.

I think I can say I have officially fallen for Austin.

but a part of me still wants Tyler.
