you & i [ON HOLD]

seven - andrea

i closed my laptop and put on my desk. 'i'll go back to ella and seth later' i thought to myself. my best friends, gabrielle and sam, barged into my room.

"Andrea get dressed, we're going out!" sam yelled.

I sighed, "fine, fine. I'm coming." i pull out what i was going to wear from my dresser and got dressed. i walked outside and got into the car.

"Where to?" i casually asked.

"Mall," gabrielle responded, starting the car. i nodded. we all drove off. once gabrielle parked the car, i spotted tyler and mike. gabrielle nudged me.  i shook my head. sam grabbed my hand and dragged me to them.

"Hey guys!" sam smiled.

tyler waved and mike nodded.

"Hi!" gabrielle chirped and nudged me.

"Hi.." i mumbled. tyler smiled at me and opened his arms for a hug. i hugged him back.

he whispered, "hey Shorty." i smiled as the warmth enveloped me.

"Hey Treetop," i smiled into his chest. gabrielle started to giggle and he let go. we all went into the large mall and tyler took my hand. i looked up at him and smiled. he smiled back.

"Movies!" gabrielle piped up, "let's go to the movies!" everyone nodded in agreement and we went to the theater. when we got inside, tyler took the seat next to me. gabrielle on my right smiled.

"You guys are too cute," gabrielle teased. i shook my head. i liked tyler a lot, but sometimes i wasn't sure if he liked me back. there was a girl named clary in my homeroom, he always claimed that she was annoying, but i noticed how he acted around her. he seemed happy, happier than  when he was with me. i guess it bothered me. he had more to talk about with her. he just seemed to like her, but everyone would attempt to reassure me and say that he liked me. sometimes i wasn't so sure.

"You okay?" he whispered. i nodded, but i wasn't okay. i was confused, sad, stressed, tired, and every depressing adjective in the dictionary. i only had the courage to say.

"I'm fine."

he looked at me like he wasn't so sure, "I'm fine would be considered to be a lie, my good friend Shorty told me." i offered him a small smile and turned to watch the movie.

when the movie ended and we exited the theater gabrielle was hungry, so i was forced to sit and eat next to tyler. it felt awkward. he looked at me and smiled. i looked down and fiddled with my fingers. he was a great guy, but i don't think i was good enough. then again, he never even seemed to care about me, so what was the point. when i was upset, he was upset, so i couldn't be upset. i had to take care of him, i didn't matter. he did. at least to me he did.

he turned to me and popped the 'are you okay?' question again and i just nodded.

nodded
