Tyler
Yesterday was cool I guess. I honestly felt wierd after the kiss but I didn't say anything. We watched The Final and when she fell asleep, I went home.
But today's a new day and I need to end everything I had in my past since I led Laya on.
I have to let Wolf, Raquel, and Sarah go.
Raquel was the first on my list.

Laya: You don't have to walk with me today. I want to find the way myself. ;-)
Me: OK. I'll see you. :-*
Laya: GAY AS FUCK :-*

Raquel, here I come

Laya
Tyler oh Tyler.
His big lips.
His big ears.
His long ears.
His lanky arms.
His killer phrases.
He was just everything.
I was thinking about Tyler when my mom knocked on my door.
“Laya, sweetie, 20 minutes until you have to leave.”
“Okay!” I was happy, so when I picked out my clothes, I chose a yellow shirt with black pants and Vans that matched.
I threw my clothes on and brushed my hair into a bun.
I left the house and started walking when a car pulled up beside me.
The window rolled down“Hey Laya.” I saw that it was one of the boys I had a class with. I was trying to think of his name.
Deran
Darson
Danny
“Hi.....” I kept walking and he trailed behind me.
“The name is Darson.”
Darson! He was cute. He had long curly hair and hazel eyes. He was tall too. But I liked Tyler.
“Cool.”
“Need a ride?”
“Nah. I'm waiting for my friend Tyler.” I really wasn't waiting for a friend I just wanted him to leave.
“Tyler? That possessed nerd? You must not have heard about him.”
“What do you me---” I was cut off as Tyler yelled down the street.
“Laya wait up.”
Darson drove away.

Tyler
Darson wasnt gonna fuck this up with his rumors.He had it coming for him.
I ran up to Laya.
“I know you didn't want me to walk with you but you were talking to Darson.”
Laya raised one eyebrow. “What's wrong with Darson?”
I couldn't tell her he had it out for me every since freshman year cause I wasn't with all that gay shit.
One day Darson threw a party and I was a cool kid then. When everyone left the party, I helped Darson clean up and then went to the restroom in his house. He busted in the restroom on some gay shit so I had to beat his ass. I told Thebe about it and he told everyone at school. But Darson became more popular unlike me. I just became a nobody who everyone thought was homophobic.

“There's nothing wrong with Darson. He's just a douche. He's more of a douche than I am.”
We laughed and walked to school. We were late. The bell had already rung.

Laya
“Oh shit. I missed the bus to take me to Calculus.” I told Tyler.
“Well since I kinda messed that up, I'll skip first period.”
“But where will we go?” I couldn't name any place in Ladera other than Ladera High, my house, and Tyler's.
“We can go to the lake. It's wet there.” We laughed.
Tyler started to walk and I trailed behind him.
We finally got to the lake and I saw how beautiful it was.
The water was glistening and the grass was freshly cut. The grass had little drops of water on them.
“This is cool.” I sat down and Tyler sat next to me.
He put his arm around me. “There's a lot of privacy here. I come here to write raps.”
Raps? Tyler raps!
“I want to hear one of your raps.”
Tyler smiled, “Nah, not today. One day soon, though.”
I was in love.

Tyler
I want to end everything off with Raquel.
I want Wolf to leave me alone.
I want Sarah to stop being such a hoe when she sees me.
I want Laya. I lean over and kiss her.
“Wow.” Laya said.
“Sorry. I just really wanted to.” I didn't want to say wimpy, but I did anyways.
It was time for us to get back to school.

The rest of the week played out like this. We skipped first period, went to the lake, kissed and went back to school.
But I still didn't end everything else with Sarah and Raquel.
