Him.

Chapter 1

TAYLOR POV

Alex and I were sitting at the lunch table, and he was talking to one of his friends and I was on my phone. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I know who it is almost instantly. He always did that, in order to get my attention. I wasn't exactly sure what it meant, but I know it made me smile. Dylan. We were friends at one point, his mom was my girl scout leader, and he was a boy scout. 

I'm getting ahead of myself, but he's just so... mesmerizing, per say. I know, I know, I am dating Alex, but I can't help my feelings. Maybe Alex isn't right... Stop thinking like that Tay... 

Dylan POV 

I walk by her everyday, hoping she will look at me and forget his sorry ass. I tap her shoulder just so I can see that amazing smile and so she will notice me. I'm not the type to break up another's relationship, but this girl, she just drives me crazy. I really hope I'm doing the right thing here. 

AFTER SCHOOL

Taylor POV

I still have to take this bus to and from school, as does Dylan. So you can imagine that given our... situation, it is a bit awkward. I am unsure if he knows I like him, but I am fairly certain that he likes me. I just... I cant be a girl who cheats on her boyfriend. Plus Dylan is graduating soon, and I wont see him all that often anymore. So is it really worth it? This is very conflicting, and I am deep in my thoughts, headphones in and music up loud. I was so deep in my own thoughts that at first I didn't even notice Dylan sitting with me. Not until he said something to me. 

"You mind... me sitting here?" Dylan asked. 

Obviously I didn't mind, but was it the best idea it doesn't matter if it's the best idea.. it's what you want... I just looked at him and smiled a little bit. I also managed to stutter out the words "n-no I don't mind" and so he sat. We didn't talk much, but it was nice still. He just, made me feel more secure in a way. 

What am I doing? I am with Alex and I mean he doesn't text me for like 4 hours and then gets mad at me... but still. I've got to stop thinking like this. 

Dylan, even though we hadn't spoken much since we were younger, still seems to understand me more than anyone ever has and ever will. 

Why is this so complicated?

DYLAN POV

Tay... I just can't get her off my mind. Why does she have to be taken... 

I'm going to be leaving soon, graduating soon, and shes not. She is only a sophomore in high school. 

What are we going to do after graduation?...

There is just something about her, that makes me crazy. 

And I have to do something soon.
