Who Knew

Another Striked Off

"Beep beep beep!" I opened one eye and stretched. Another day of school, sighed. Let's do some washing up first before picking out something to wear. "Buzz!" Hmmm? A text from an unknown.

'Morning pretty face ;) What u up to?'

I blushed and felt butterflies in my stomach. I really need to stop feeling this way. Okay that's obviously from Tyler and I have yet to save him in my contacts. What shall I put him as? Lover boy? Tyler my boy? Gosh Winnie! What were you thinking? Finally, I settled on one.

'Morning Tyler. Just preparing for school.'

"Ding dong!" What? Who would be at the door at this timing? I opened the door and stood there in bewilderment , blinking my eyes.

"Aren't you gonna invite me in? Okay self-invite it is!" Tyler walked through the door and sat comfortably on the couch with his legs resting on the coffee table while having his hands rested behind his head.

"Excuse me? What are you doing here?"

"You're excused. I'm here because I want to help you fulfil the task on your rebel list. And you, Winnie, shall be skipping school today."

"But!......"

"No buts. We're skipping school today."

"Did you said we?"

"Yes we. Today you shall stick with me like we're superglued together. We're gonna have fun. Just the two of us. Chop chop hurry up. Go get dressed cause I've something planned for you the whole day. Anticipate it."

With that, I went back to my room again. And oh boy did I felt that weird tingling sensation in my heart just now. It's like warm and.....I don't know. You'll have to try being around someone you like to find out. Now, back at looking through my clothes to find the perfect outfit to wear. Is this how a first date feels like? Because there is like nothing to wear! No wait is this even a date in the first place? Oh whatever. 

But normally what do people wear on their first date? IT'S NOT A DATE WINNIE. Right. What to wear so that it will be of his liking? OH YES. I went shopping with Amber! I should put on the sun dress and maybe wear an eye contact. And finishing off with the lip gloss. Plus a pair of simple lace up black heels. I'm finally good to go! I went downstairs and Tyler was engrossed in watching the TV.

"Ahem." No response.

"Ahem! I'm ready to go."

"Alright let's go-o......" Tyler stood there with his eyes popping out that could burst at anytime. Why did he stop responding? Were my eyes playing tricks on me or did he just checked me out? His eyes definitely glanced to my lips in that split second before looking back at me.

"What? Do I look awful? I could change to another......"

"No! I mean you look different. Not in a bad way but! Errr...... I meant you look gorgeous!" Tyler was getting flustered. I smiled. So funny and cute of him.

[Tyler's POV]
I wonder what's taking her so long? I guessed it really proves that girls do really take their time. Yawned. Click click click. Finally something nice to watch. Well, I just hope everything goes smoothly today and most importantly she would like it. Oh? Did I heard she's ready to go? I turned round from the couch and there she stood. Wow. Just wow. She looked so different but in a good way. Maybe it's cause I've never seen her dressing up much in school. 

Her brown curly hair falls perfectly on her shoulder. And then that dress she's wearing, it looks so stunning on her. Ahhh, I see she did something to her lips. Looks so glossy and kissable that makes me want to just smooch her. And is it me or she's a little bit taller now? Oh she's wearing heels. 

Now, she's just tall enough for me to plant a small kiss anytime right on her forehead. Woah! Hold your horses Tyler. What were you even thinking?! Shit. She's thinking that she doesn't look good in them. I should say something. But what? I stuttered on my words but I'm happy that she's smiling now. I smiled back and said,"Let's go now."

I'm not someone who opens up about my true feelings to anyone and sometimes I hate myself for that. She's like the most beautiful angel I've ever laid my eyes on and she shouldn't feel insecure about herself. Even without dressing up I'm already subconsciously falling head over heels for her. Whenever I'm with or near her, my heart would start to race. 

That time in the hallway, I didn't meant to ignore her but I was just too nervous that the cat got my tongue. When I'm with her, I tend to say mean things and tease her a lot. Its not that I dislike her......But it's because I wish to get to know her better and hoping that maybe it would close the gap in between us. I didn't expect that falling in love with someone would cause me to lose the courage of telling her. If only she knew how I felt towards her......
