It's Complicated

Chapter 24

Tyler's POV

When I get home I slam the door behind me and storm to my room. I throw my school bag and umbrella on the floor and sit on the bed with my head in my hands. What the f*ck is wrong with me? Why did I walk her home? Why did I act so nice? Why did I hold her hand? Why did I kiss her?  I'm supposed to hate Abrielle. She's my worst enemy, and I've fallen in love with her. I can't believe I f*cking kissed her. I blindly thought she would like me too. I thought we would be together, after all this shit. Why didn't I realise this is all wrong? If I just continued to hate her and pushed through the feelings my heart wouldn't have been broken. I don't think I can ever face her again.

I lie back on the bed and try to blink back tears. Jeez, I don't want to cry. I don't want to cry over a girl. There's heaps of them out there, I think. I can break all their little pathetic hearts and forget about Abrielle and everything we ever had. Love is just a load of bullshit. It just gets your heart torn out. There's nothing good about it. There's no good feelings with love.

Freya runs in the room. "Hey Tyler! Mum's on the phone, she asked how you were since you slammed the-"

"Can you just get the hell out of my room?!" I shout at her. Why can't she leave me alone? Annoying little shit.

She steps back in surprise and runs out of my room. I probably made her upset. My anger washes away from me and I sit up, and look out the window. I need to forget about her, never talk to her again, just forget about what happened. This isn't possible, I can never forget about her.

                                                                          .                            .                            . 

The next day at school I walk in class with a straight face. Brian, Jackson and Alex wave to me, gesturing to sit with them. I walk over to them and drop myself in a chair. I haven't told them what happened, I was too upset. They notice something's up with me and start looking at each other. "Hey Tyler, is something wrong?"

Before I could answer, Abrielle walks in. She scans the room and looks at me, immediately turning red. We glance at each other for a moment before looking away. She sits with Christina, Olivia and Nikki in the row in front of us. "I know why you're sad," Alex observes. "Something happened between you and Abrielle."

"Yeah, I guess I should tell you, but we'll have to keep it quiet, otherwise she's gonna hear us." I say. The three of them listen patiently while I tell them the whole story. After I finish talking they all look at me with shocked faces. I quickly look at the front row. Luckily Abrielle or the others didn't hear me.

"You kissed her?!" Jackson whispers aggressively.

"And she coldly rejected you?!" Brian exclaims.

"Well, she kissed back, but she must have realised that this is all wrong, so that's why she stepped back. I should have realised it too. I'm such an idiot." I say.

"Nah, I think you guys should have gotten together. It's obvious that she likes you, she must have felt that it was wrong because you guys used to hate each other and now you're kissing." Alex advises. "Maybe everything happened all too fast for her."

"Yeah man, why don't you go talk to her?" Brian questions.

"I don't think I can ever talk to her again." I sigh.

"Maybe just give her some time to cool off, have a break from her because I understand you don't have the guts to talk to her now. Wait a few days or something, and then try." Jackson counsels.

"Thanks guys, I feel like you guys are my true guides in life. My agony aunts, or uncles." I laugh.

Brian pats my back. "It's all good bro, we're here for you."

                                                             .                                     .                                     .

It's Monday again, but last week trying to not talk to Abrielle was hard. We always saw each other and gave each other awkward stares. She must have told Nikki, Christina and Olivia because they can see what's happened. I haven't had the courage to talk to her. Every time I hold myself together and walk over to her, I walk away at the end because my heart drops at the thought of making everything worse. She'll never leave my mind. The last thought before I fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning is always Abrielle. I just want to beat up my head to be honest.

Brian greets me and sits down. "Hey dude, did you know there's a new girl coming to our school? I just heard about it now."

"Yeah I heard that too, apparently her name's Kendall." Jackson adds.

"I think she's starting today." Alex says, looking at his phone.

Ms Vienetta stands up from her chair and claps her hands, getting everyone's attention. "Okay students! I have an announcement to make. There will be a new student starting today. Please give her a warm welcome. Come on in Kendall!"

The whole class stares at the girl walking in. Holy shit, she's hot. She has straight blonde hair and sexy green eyes, I can't look away from her. She's wearing an obvious amount of makeup, but damn, she can pull it off. I look at Abrielle quickly, although I can't really see her face, I can tell she's surprised.

"So Kendall, tell everyone a little bit about yourself!" Ms Vienetta says.

Kendall quickly scans the room, her eyes stopping at us. Is she looking at me? Or Alex, Brian, Or Jackson? Maybe at all of us. Her straight face turns into a smile. "Hello everyone! I moved from South View High school. I love playing netball and makeup is my passion." She's pretty confident this girl. 

"That's wonderful Kendall. Now please, take a seat." Ms Vienetta grins. She takes a seat near some girls at the front. The whole class starts whispering, which I assume they're talking about Kendall. I can tell this girl is going to become very popular.

Alex elbows me. "Damn, I'd f*ck her any day."

"Same but I mean, how horny are you?" I say back.

Brian puts his arm around Jackson. "Oh look, those single guys are competing on who will win the new girl's heart."

"I know right, I'm so glad I'm not single and sexually frustrated like them." Jackson laughs.

"Bro, Tyler isn't single anymore. He has..." Alex looks over to Abrielle and winks at me. "Abrielle."

"Um, I don't think she likes me man, after what happened..." I sigh.

"It's okay, she'll come around. The both of you will be in bed together in no time!" He smirks. 

I elbow him hard and he winces in pain. Alex back at it again with the smart-ass comments. "Are you kidding me. Anyway I don't really want to think about her now."

Alex's face lights up. "Hey why don't you get to know Kendall? She'll put your mind of Abrielle."

I shake my head. "I don't think any girl can distract me from her. "

"Nah man, just give it a try. I think it'll work." Brian persuades me. I nod and look at Kendall. She's already talking and laughing with those other girls. I can't really introduce myself now, she's like two rows away from me. I guess I'll just have to go talk to her some time. Hopefully this will work.
