you & i [ON HOLD]

eight - andrea

 "Good morning!" my mom pulled the sheets off my bed. i groaned.

"Five mor-"

"NO. Get up." my mom's eyes were narrowed. i slowly got up and once my mother left the room i quickly went back to bed.

"ANDREA!" she yelled. i suddenly got up. i quickly threw on my clothes and got ready for my dreaded monday morning. i went to the kitchen and my mom was standing there. i took out my cereal and milk then ate, once finished, i grabbed my bag and waited to get picked up. a car stopped in front of my house, but it wasn't gabrielle's. it was someone else's. they got out of the car and i saw that it was tyler. he smiled and opened the passenger door.

"Come on in Shorty," he grinned. i laughed and entered his car. the sweet aroma of cookies filled the air and he handed me a cookie, "here you are." i took the cookie and ate it.

"Thanks," i told him and he smiled and kept driving. i quickly glanced at him, focused on the road. i smiled to myself in fiddled with my fingers.

"You okay?" it was that question again. it seemed to be everywhere. to the point where i even put it in my book. i thought about my book. it seemed to be about me, but it wasn't. i even realized it. i felt the same, but not. i never noticed how much i can write how i feel without knowing. but that question was everywhere. ever since i told him how i felt, but didn't. i told him my problems, but they were never specific enough for him to understand. i also noticed that whenever we spoke, i never complained about my life. i always listen to him. he never knew how i felt sometimes. i wish i could tell him, but he had his own problems, that mine seemed unimportant. it's just a thought i guess, but i just wish that i could tell him. i knew he cared about me and everything, but i wish he knew more. so i can complain to him when i need to, or just vent. i just never knew how.

the car stopped to a halt, interrupting my thoughts. i got out of the car, grabbed my bag, and thanked him. as i was walking to the building, he chased me.

"Andrea!" he called out. i turned around and waited. he caught up to me, "Shorty!" he smiled then poked me in the stomach. i clutched my stomach and laughed. he laughed along with me and i ran off. he chased closely behind and caught me. he hugged me and we stood there for a while. until gabrielle yelled out my name. we let go of the hug that seemed to last forever and walked to sam, gabrielle, and mike. mike whispered something in tyler's ear that seemed to offend or annoy him because he pushed mike away. sam laughed and i giggled. gabrielle was smiling. i turned around and saw someone new, but she seemed familiar.

"CARA!" i yelled, recognizing her. she looked around and upon spotting me, she smiled.

"DREA!" she called out. she ran to me and hugged me. i laughed.

"What are you doing here?" i asked.

"I moved! It's been so long." she laughed. mike coughed behind me. i rolled my eyes.

"Cara, meet the gang. Tyler, Gabrielle, who you know, Sam, and Mike." i gestured to each of them. mike came up to greet her as she blushed a deep red. Gabrielle laughed at the two. cara looked behind me and her eyes widened.

"Is this the gu-" i covered her mouth before she could continue. i glared at her and she started to laugh. casually walked up to me and put his arm around me and cara laughed even harder. he gave my a weird look, but i grabbed cara and we all walked in together.

lunch came faster than i had anticipated. we all made our way to our table and i took cara along with me. once we started to eat, conversation flowed easily. tyler would glance at me from time to time and the butterflies would arrive every time i noticed. i liked him a lot, but he most likely liked clary. it messed me up by just thinking that.

messed me up
