Miss Perfect Learns Pleasure

Chapter 4

*A week later*

I feel so conflicted, it's really annoying.

I can't even concentrate on class...this is becoming a big problem.

I found out that Blonde's name is Tyler.

He's been hanging around me a lot lately, and every time he's around, it messes with my emotions. Mike doesn't seem to appreciate it very much either...He keeps on trash talking Tyler and everything. It's annoying having to hear him complaining constantly. He wasn't being the normal Mike.

After AP English, I found Tyler waiting for me near the door, but I left like being alone so I walked the other direction.

He noticed and ran after me. After catching up, he turned me around by the wrist.

"What do you what?" I asked annoyed.

He seemed really down when I saw him and I thought I just made it worse.

Feeling pain in my heart at looking at the usually too happy boy being so down was depressing.

Ugh, the next class was P.E. The bell rang and we were all alone in the middle of the halls.

"Sorry," Tyler whispered.

"No, it's fine," I said in the same whisper tone.

"What's wrong? You don't seem the same," I asked.

"It's a long story," he replied with a sigh.

At the corner was one of the hall monitors and I seriously didn't feel like getting detention.

I shoved the depressed Tyler and myself into one of the janitors' closet.

Just great, its all dark in here.

As we started to feel around the dark, cramped room I tripped over a broom.

I gave a little scream, and Tyler instantly pulled me close to him.

"Crap, sorry."

"It's fine," he breathed into my eye.

Omg! I'm so lucky it's dark, my face is burning just by the thought of us being so close!

As I started to pick myself up, but Tyler just hugged me there.

"Umm..."

"Hey, Celia, you know, I really like you," he whispered in a deep and melodic voice.

I was speechless...what am I suppose to do now! Think, think, think! Um, er, uh, hmm, crap.

"I...umm...," I started but really didn't know what to say.

"Quiet, I don't want to know your answer," he said.

Tyler just hugged me and buried his head into the nape of my neck.

There really was more to this guy than what actually happened during the party...but what happened with Mike is also...

I decided to just drop the topic from my overly clustered brain and hugged him back. I think he really needed it.

After a while, he pulled back slowly but as pecking my cheek in the process.

My hand automatically shot to my cheek and I burned red. Tyler just laughed it off and petted me on the head...which was pretty awkward since I thought he was the one who needed it most. Anyways, we got out of the closet eventually.

"You wanna catch a movie Friday?" He said with a smirk on his face.

"Can't, sorry. Mike and I are going ice skating," I said apologetically.

An expression of pain passed his face but he quickly hid it.

I quickly said, "How about Saturday?"

He smiled happily, "Sounds great."

With that, we parted both pretty satisfied.

Even so, I wonder if I can hide it from Mike that I'm going out with Tyler...
