CHAPTER 5

TYLER’S POV

I ran as fast as I could. How could they be that close?! It’s as if they’re about to kiss! What’s up with them? Are they like, is he her boyfriend or what? I hope not.

But I saw their eyes or should I say Chuck’s. His eyes were saying something to her. Too much care or maybe too much love. Or do they have past or something?

I don’t know what happened to me but as soon as I saw them that close with her hand cupping his cheek, my face turned red and jealousy boiled me up. It hurts a lot. I have loved Vanessa since we’re kids and until now. When we got separated, I feel like my whole world turned upside down. It has been incomplete without her. And now that we have been together, again, I’ve never been better. It’s been 12 years. 12 freaking years. And still, going strong.

I walked and walked until I reached the school’s rooftop. I saw it on the school map and got really interested about it. I thought maybe this could be our special place. My place and Van’s. But maybe I’m expecting too much.

I opened the door and I saw no one else in there except me. I sighed. I sat on the bench that was in there and thought about what happened. I lost a little bit of my self control in there. I thought about Van and Chuck. How I saw them oh so close. I thought about how I really love her. How she-BAAAM!

I was startled by the sound of a.. door? cutting of my thoughts.

“Oh my gosh. I’m sorry. I didn’t know someone’s in here.” She apologized as the door slammed opening widely.

“It’s okay. It’s not my place.” I looked behind me and saw a thin, brunette girl. About the same height as Vanessa’s. she smiled and walked beside me.

“Can I sit here?”

“I won’t mind.” I answered not even looking at her. How I wished she was Van instead. I wish I could talk to her alone. I wish I could say to her how I really feel. I wish I cou-

“New student?” asked the brunette girl snapping me off my thoughts. AGAIN. A littile bit annoying.

“Yeah. From Miami.”’

“Oh. Wow. Great. I’m Kylie Hayden.” She introduced herself as she reached for my hand. I took it just to be polite. “Tyler. Tyler Griffin.”

“Nice to meet you Tyler.” She smiled. “I’m sorry about what happened a while ago. I was just mad and-“

“It’s okay. No big deal.” I smiled at her.

We talked for a few more minutes and looked at the view that you can see in the rooftop. There were houses, building, trees, etc. I wonder how it looks like in the evening.

“Well, what’s your next class?” she asked looking from the view then to me. Oh no. I almost forgot. I don’t want to be late again. I looked at my schedule. “History.”

“Same with me. Come on. You don’t want to be late, do you?” she offered as she stood up.

“Right. “ I stood up as I followed her to our next class. On the way to History class, I saw Van passing the hallway. She glanced up at me but I pretended I didn’t see her and continued talking to Kylie as if I’m interested to her and what she's talking about.

We arrived at the history class just in time and we chose to sit next to each other. It’s sooooo boring. Van’s not here. How I wish we have the same class in all subjects. Sigh. But then, maybe Kylie can be better. Well, she’s nice and pretty. Maybe we can become great friends or more than. Bestfriends. Maybe.

Vanessa’s POV

I saw Tyler passed by me a while ago. I tried to say hi but he looked away. Or he didn’t see me. He’s with a brunette girl. She looks kind of familiar but I can’t remember when and where did I first saw her. Well, good for him he has a new friend.

Chuck and I decided o go to our next class after we had talked. It feels good for having him around. He’s more than a best friend to me. He protects me always and really acts like a brother to me. I’m so thankful I met him.

We proceed to the PE class. As we walked towards the door, I saw the new teacher Ashley was talking about. Tall, blonde, and he has a great body. Hot? Agree. But I’m not into the teacher type. Haha. He introduced himself as Mr. Ethan and he asked us to choose which sports we want to be involved and of course, I chose volleyball which I’m only good at. While Chuck chose basketball. We played for a little while and we had our break.

As soon as the bell rang as I sign of end of the day, I stood up and went to Ty. We got the same class at the end which was science.

“Hey, how’s your day?” I asked him as he fixed ad put all his books into his bag.

“Fine, I guess. I’ve met some people and made some friends. How about you?”

“Well, nothing new. It’s fine. Uhm, anyway, we can go home together if you want?”

I saw him hesitated but, “Right. Sure” he smiled and we walked outside. What’s uo with him? Did something happened? Maybe because of that brunette girl? Or…. Maybe because of me? But why?
