I went to a dance school to see if any dance instructors would help. There was this one girl. I walked over to her. It looked like she was just about to leave.
"Hi! Are you a dance instructor?" I asked. She nodded.
"Well.. I have this person who really needs to learn how to dance because he's going on a date to make up for some dumb stuff he did.." I said. She just looked at me.
"So... You want me to teach him how to dance?" She asked.
"Yeah.. Like today! I can drive you." I said.
"Umm.. How about you just give me the address and I'll come by at 4pm?" She said. I agreed.
"Wait what's your name?" I asked.
"Serena." She said. It seemed like she didn't like me. But who cares. I went to tylers house. He was just on his phone.
"Did lauren agree to go on the date?" I asked.
"Yeah she replied right away... She's probably real excited to dance ..." Tyler said.
"Well.. A girl Serena is supposed to come over in 2 hours to help you." I said. Couple hours went by. I was at my house.i wanted to go to his house to see how the dancing was but I was busy eating food. I dropped by though.
They were sitting and talking... And not dancing.
"Uhh... Hey how's the dancing." I asked.
"He's great! And he's sooo funny!!" Serena said smiling at him.
".. Yeah.. He better be good .. For his date.. That he has..... Today .." I said to Serena.
"Right... Well maybe I'll see you around tyler !?" She said waving then left. This chick is literally hitting on a taken man.
".... What's that all about?" I asked.
"Nothin but shit .. Apparently I'm really good at dancing." Tyler said. I laughed.
"No really .. Here turn the music on." Tyler said.
"Alright come here I'll show you." Tyler said. I walked over to him.
"Okay.. Wait so I put my hand with your hand....,?" Tyler said. I looked at him like he was stupid.
"Haha! I'm just playing. Of course I know you're supposed to put your hand holding mine.. That's basic stuff." Tyler said. The song played. He danced really well. It was surprisingly almost better than me.
"Shit... You're more than ready." I said.
"I'm a natural what can I say." Tyler said.
"I'm still better though ." I said.
"Haha you are." Tyler responded.
"If I knew i were this good I would of taken you ballroom dancing before." Tyler said.
"What? You would of taken .. Me?" I asked confused.
"Huh? No i uh meant I would of taken lauren more.." Tyler said. I drove Tyler to place cause he's an idiot an didn't know where the place was. We waited in the car till lauren showed up. The place was booked just for them. He looked pretty nice in his suit. I started wondering why I did all that to help him even though deep down I still felt like I kind of liked him.
"Oh I see her!" Tyler said then went out the car. She looked really pretty.
"Yeah umm have fun .." I said. I left.i tried to forget about it all. I probably thought I still liked him only cause he looked cute in his outfit. I watched tv. Dylan FaceTimed me. We went out to the beach. The whole time I didn't even think about Tyler. I realized I did really like dylan more. I think. Dylan walked me back home. Tyler was at my steps.
"Why are you here?"I asked. I opened the door. He came in.
"To tell you the date was umm great." Tyler said.
"But umm seeing that you came back from your date or whatever .. I guess now isn't a super great time to tell you what I wanted to since you're probably tired." Tyler said.
"Huh? Why," I asked.
"It's Nothing." Tyler said then left.
**next day **
I was outside getting the mail. Tylers Mail got mixed so I went over to his house and give it.
"Hey... This is yours." I said.
"Oh thanks." Tyler said.
"Hey !! What's this song playing?" I asked. We went in his house. He checked the song.
"Really ? I think this is an old song my mom likes. It's the first song that came up on the sound system." Tyler said.
"Well I like it." I said.
"Really? This song sucks shit." Tyler said laughing. I hit his arm laughing.
"No it doesn't." I said.
"Hey what'd you wanna tell me by the way?" I asked.
"Huh oh nothing." Tyler said. I checked my phone.
"What's so funny?" Tyler asked.
"Huh? Oh umm Dylan said something funny.." I said.
"Why do you talk to him ?" Tyler asked.
"Cause he's a great person." I said. It was kind of random for him to ask.
"Why do you care?" I asked.
"Nothing." Tyler said.
"no.. Why do you care?" I asked.
"Ive seen him around you. What about all those dates you were supposed to go on but he cancelled cause he was tired from his surf lessons." Tyler said. I thought about it but I wasn't gonna let his salty ass tell me.
"Yeah but he teaches for a long time." I said.
"That's besides the point. You should be with someone who makes an effort to wanna be with you all the time." Tyler said.
"What do you mean? Why do you need to tell me this ?" I asked.
"Cause I see the look in your eyes. just from getting a text from him.. You look so happy .the same happy I get from looking at you." Tyler said. This was all coming out of no where!!!
"What are you saying ?" I asked.
"I don't know. I guess I realized I still really like you." Tyler said. This was all too much to take in.
"Did anything like bad happen on the date or..." I asked.
"Haha no. I ... Throughout the whole date I just felt like ... I would of rather had you being there with me." Tyler said. I paced around. I just wasn't expecting him to say all of this.
"But remember this. You're the one who said we should only be friends! You're the one who broke it off. You're the one who's dating my friend!" I said.
"Yeah I know but .. It's impossible for someone to just give you up like that." Tyler said. I didn't know what to say.
"It's fine ..you probably should get to your surfer boyfriend." Tyler said.
"Why are you mad at me? You're the one dating my friend and now she's gonna be mad at me because you still like me!" I said.
"Hey. Do you even like me?" Tyler asked. I didn't answer.
"What are you gonna say to lauren.... She likes you a lot!" I said.
"I don't know..." Tyler said. I left. It was all too stressful. I took a bath and thought about it all. I went to tylers house to talk to him about it all.Lauren was already in there.
"Oh perfect . You're here come." Tyler said. I had no clue what I was getting myself into.
"Look lauren.. Umm I like you a lot but there's just someone else I think I've always liked just more." Tyler said. I backed away.
"Who?" Lauren asked.
"Umm... Why .." Tyler said.
"Alex can you please help me get an answer out of him." Lauren said. I tried to leave but they kept making me stay.
"Ok you wanna know ? It's alex." Tyler said. I looked at him mad! Lauren got up.
"You?!?!?! What?!? I'm so confused!'lauren said.
"Look I really did like you but ... I don't think we're gonna work out." Tyler said. Lauren started crying. I tried to comfort her but she went in his backyard and wanted to be alone.
"Why would you just say it like that?" I asked Tyler.
"Well she wanted to know."Tyler said. I was annoyed.
"Okay great so both of you hate me..." Tyler said. I left. Lauren texted me a bunch of shit. I went back to tylers house to see if she was there. She was in the living room.
"Look! I didn't know he still liked me!" I said.
"What do you mean still?- wait did you two date before ?!?!" Lauren asked. I looked at Tyler .
"I mean .. I guess ..." Tyler said.
"I'm outta here." Lauren said then left.
I looked at Tyler.
"Well .. That went well.." Tyler said. I was so stressed about it all.
"Look alex .. If all of this is too much for lauren I'll just say it's a prank and-" tyler said. I looked at him.
".. Just don't ... Don't involve me in your life." I said then left. I got back home and tried to get lauren to talk to me.
