"What are you doing here ?" I asked. She looked down at her hands which were now twisting around her dress. "I'm about to meet Tyler at Taco Bell. Can we talk later or something ?" "I'll go with you!" I didn't expect her to say that but I can't say no. She drove her, for some unknown reason. But still. I nodded, and grabbed my keys. "Let's go."
We drove to Taco Bell in complete silence. Great, nothing more awkward than two exes sitting in a quiet car. Whatever. She parked and I jumped out heading for the door. When I walked in I started searching for Tyler before Debby came inside so I could explain it. I found him and locked eyes with him. He looks so cute sitting there. His brown eyes shining in the lighting, his smile is contagious. I wonder what he's thinking. My mind is all over the place right now. Everything seems so wrong but looking at him makes everything so right. I started walking towards him and I could see his leg shaking in that cute weird way when he's nervous. But why's he nervous? I looked back up to his face to see that his smiled was no longer there. Debby must've walked in. I stopped smiling and just sat down next to him. We sat there for a few minutes in complete silence before Debby asked if we wanted something. I shook my head, just as Tyler did. Tyler looked at me and said something but my heartbeat was too loud in my ears to hear so I just said "Tyler we need to talk." That got him listening, I just didn't know what to say yet so we just stared at each other with a worry look. How am I supposed to ask him anything ? How am I supposed to tell him that I wanted to kiss him so badly earlier ? How am I supposed to tell him that I've had feelings for him for quite some time ? This isn't easy for me. Or him. It might jeopardize our friendship and the band. And the clique. I can't do that to any of us. I had to think of something quick. "Debby and I might get back together." I said it before I could even think of something better. He looked so hurt. He turned away from me, looking at him hands. They were twisting and his leg was shaking. "Tyler." I grabbed his leg. It stopped shaking. Taco Bell is so empty tonight. It's just us in the back. What if this is the right time ? Should I go for it ? He's staring. I leaned.
