He's Still The One

Chapter 11 - Right Here

Ashley.

After that incident with Tyler, I was left awkwardly with Austin and Luke. I know they could sense my uneasiness. So they made an effort and talked to me.

I have to admit, I thought they were fat ass jerks but no. They're down to earth, funny, a little annoying and bad boyish. I guess I can deal with that.

What? It's not like I'm going to hang out with them, right? This was just a one time thing.

I shook my head from my unreliable thoughts and continued to talk to them about everything I could relate to like Victoria Secret Angels, Harry Potter and more.

****

The rest of the day went by a blur. It wasn't really boring though. I managed to dodge a few glares and threats from Tyler's fanbase. Seriously, people are making a big deal out of this. Tyler asked me to accompany him for lunch because he was sorry I almost got sent to detention due to his annoying ways. That was it but of course, they don't know the whole story so they judged me.

Great. Now I have people hating on me.

But I was still in shock of what happened. Tyler kissed me, on my forehead. What does he think he's doing?

I was so weird. One time I was hating on him because he is annoying now I am shocked that he did that thing. Well, who wouldn't be shocked? We just came to the point of acquaintances because I couldn't call us friends yet and he did that? I couldn't bring myself to understand.

I just my head and proceeded to my locker. It was half past 4 and I really need to get home to think or to avoid Tyler. Speak of the devil and he shall arrive.

"So Ash, Will you go on a date with me this Friday night?" Was he really asking me out? I thought they were going out on Friday? What in the world is going on? This is what I get for being stuck in my reverie and not paying attention.

Tyler, what the hell are you doing to me?

"I'm not doing anything?" He said unsure of what to tell me. I suddenly swallowed a huge lump on my throat.

Did I really just say that out loud?

"Yes, you did." He smiled cheekily. Oh, I'm embarrassing. I made a mental note to myself to not voice out my thoughts loudly anymore.

I felt my cheeks burn as it turns as red as a tomato. It was the first time this happened. I didn't know what to do.

"Where are we going?" I was having doubts. Maybe he's going to take advantage of me. I guess it won't hurt to try? He maybe a nice person in a bad facade, right? I mean, he's making an effort. I have to give him credit for this.

"That I won't tell you." He stuck my tongue out to me. Where was all this childish behavior from? This isn't the Tyler I keep hearing girls talk in hallways. He was a bad person but this guy in front of me, he doesn't seem that bad.

Maybe I judged him too fast.

"Oh okay, you won't tell me. Fine, I'll walk home. Goodbye, Tyler." I walked out and was shaken when he followed me. Where was this attitude from that I keep giving him? He was being nice to me, I admit.

"As much as I want to give in, I won't. It wouldn't be a surprise if I'll tell you right?" So, it's a surprise. How long has he planned this? 3 hours? That's odd but I just nodded and gave up.

We both walked towards Tyler's black Volvo. He opened the door for me. He was being a gentleman. Seriously, what is even happening? I got inside admiring the plush black leather seats. I sat on the passenger seat and Tyler sat on the driver's seat blasting off Avicii.

So, Tyler was an electropop kind of guy. I don't judge him. Everybody has their own taste of music.

I wasn't really a fan of Avicii. I was more of a Justin Bieber, Boyband, Billboard Hot 100 kind of girl.

Tyler knew I didn't fancy the song because he kept glancing at my direction so he changed it. Fortunately, it played Right Here - Justin Bieber ft. Drake

OMG. I love this song!!!!!

But I didn't make it visible because I might embarrass myself again. I kept my composure but my insides were screaming.

I just sat there and sang along softly to the song.

Say you'll be mine.

Say we'll be fine.

Say we'll be together.

Selfish of me to ask since I'll be the reason we don't last forever.

This was my favorite part of the song because Drake is god damn sexy. Who doesn't find him sexy? One of the best collaborations Justin made, I admit.

I noticed Tyler staring at me. When I caught him, he smirked and looked away. So much for not being embarrassed again.

The drive home was 15 minutes or so. I honestly didn't know how Tyler knows where I live. I mean, we've been classmates for so long but I didn't know he paid attention. I was surprised.

Tyler pulled in our driveway. The lights are on that means mom is already home. Wow, she's early. I guess I have someone to talk to about these thoughts of mine.

"Thanks for the ride. But how did you know where I lived?" I asked with confusion definitely evident on my face.

"We've been classmates for so long. It's in the school records. Not that I made an effort on finding it or anything." I looked at him. He was being defensive but I just shrugged it off. Maybe if I go on this date I'll figure out.

"So, I'll pick you up at 6 on Friday, okay? See you in school, Ash. Goodbye." He kissed my forehead again. Was this a habit of his? This guy is really confusing but I guess I'll find out more on this date.

I heaved a sigh and went inside.

I hope this was a right decision.
