A New Life

I'm Sorry 3

After two days of his absence I was starting to calm down but not enough to not beat up his handsome face. What was I saying?

I walked into fourth period and he wasn't there. Another absence. I went and sat at my seat which was right beside his.

"I heard you were going out with Tyler Williams." The girl beside me said.

"Were not going out," a familiar voice confirmed.

"Where were you?" I squealed. "I am literally going to kill you. Why did you say that I was going out with you? Why did you lie to the whole school? Are you crazy? People were asking me all..."

"I'll explain later." He interrupted with his head facing forward.

"Yeah you will." I said as the teacher started the class.

At lunch I sat with my friends who still believed that we were together after telling them about a hundred times that we aren't.

I looked over at his table. He didn't look happy. In fact he looked miserable. Every time the group would laugh he would a fake laugh. He looked at me then he looked over at the trash can. He wanted to meet me there. I got up and told my friends I had to leave early to class and I walked over to him.

We walked into the hallway and that's when he spilled out all of it.

" do you want to give to me straight or curve it a little." I rolled my eyes. "I'm guessing that means straight. Okay I told them that because...because I like you. I didn't mean to make you mad. And plus if I said any other girl they would bother me all year. That's the price of being a jock. If I had a girlfriend then they would leave me alone." I understood what he was saying but he could of warned me."I'm sorry."

"Its okay. I'm sorry I got so mad. No one has never done this before. I'm usually nice to people."

"I'll tell everyone that it wasn't true. That I just made it up."

"No, no, no, I'll help you. I'll pretend to be your girlfriend till the end of the year. Or until you get another girl friend." His face lit up.

"Really? You are nice and a good friend." I did a little curtsie and had a big smile. New school with a good person.

I told my mom what happened. She was proud of what I did. Yet she still wants to believe he is my real boyfriend. Ugh will when these people learn.

The next day at school all the girls were jealous and all of them were mad at me. I wasn't surprised neither did I care.

I saw him in the hallway talking with with his friends. He looked at me called my name but I pretended I didn't hear him until he decided to come up to me.

"If were going to pretend we're together  then we really look like were together." He said under his breath.

"I understand but this isn't really that comfortable. I hardly even know you." He nodded his head as if he considered it.  Then he gave me that pleading look.

"Fine." I groaned. We walked over to his friends.

"So it is true."one guy said.

"Never thaugt you would find one bro. You were the runt of the group. Never thought you wold learn."  Ryan I realized his name was; mentioned while punching him in the arm. That's was so rude.

"What, just because he's not you means he can't find a girlfriend?" I told him. There were scadered "Ohhhs" every where. "I'm sorry to break the news to you but no one is perfect. Not even you. Mabey you should be the runt of the group since you never learned that."

"Your going to let her talk to out like that." One guy said.

"You better watch who your talking to Missy."

"Or what? Your going to beat up a girl? How rude." I gave a fake scared face. He walked off with his "crew" but Tyler stayed with me.

"Thanks. He was being a little rude. I have never seen him like that."

"Well no one messes with my boyfriend or my friends. Remember that." I gave him a wink and walked off.

Later that night Tyler called me up to talk.

"Are we actually together."he asked.

"No I don't think so. The only reason I said 'boyfriend' earlier was because there was people around. That's why I winked."

"Well they opened a new resturaunt. Do you want to go try it out?" I can't believe it. He was asking me out.

"Um...sure." I answered nervously. My first real boyfriend. We finally got an agreement on what time and date that it would be. After he hung up I went down stairs to tell my mom the exciting news.

"Mom I'm going to be busy Friday." I told her happily.

"Why is that?"

"I'm going on a date with Tyler Williams."
