On my way to school today I realized how large a scale my mistake of kissing Demetrius was. It wasn't the fact that he was already in a relationship, because he had just broken up with Hunter. IT was because I was in a relationship with Ace and I had cheated on him. There was no justification for my actions besides I had cheated. I didn't want to be known as a cheater in the relationship because it had been done to me by Alejandro. Demetrius probably knew the outcome but he just didn't seem to care about anyone elses feelings bsides his own. He was selfish for doing that and so was I. Ace was the one who was going to get hurt in the end. Demetrius had approached Jared, Finn, and I on our walk. The sexual tension was clear by the way I had my fists clenched but Deme was as natural as ever. He talked most of the time about nothing, much to my relief, but I was waiting for him to tell them. It was killing me to tell them. How couldn't I tell my best friends? I knew it really wasn't my place and I was so glad when Jared pulled me aside when Demetrius had to go to his locker.

"Jesus Christ, Tyler, you are the literal worst when it comes to hiding things. Now spill whatever you have to say." Jared said bluntly, "That sexual tension back there was bothering me so much I was just dying to say something so quick before he comes back."

Finn's face displayed total confusion. "Wait...why are we interogating him. I'm not following."

Jared sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. God, sometimes he just looked like a disappointed father. "We're trying to find out what Ty is hiding from us. I'm pretty sure it envolves Demetrius or else he wouldn't look sickly, or Demetrius wouldn't have been so happy. Now, explain, young man."

I shrugged, putting the books in my locker. "Nothing much."

"Bullshit." Finn faked coughed. I narrowed my eyes at him. "What? If Jay is correct in your assumptions then there was definitely something even though I didn't notice anything. So get over whatever this pride thing is or I'll have to ask Demetrius directly. And we both don't want that."

I rolled my eyes. We definitely didn't want that. Before I told them I looked both ways down the hallway to make sure no one was listening in. For all I know, one of Hunter's spies or something could be listening in right now. Though, I doubt he still cared. It's been like a week. "Alright, fine. It wasn't anything major. I went over his house to confront him about breaking up with Hunter. Of course none of my controntations go right. He was being an asshole, I was getting angry. Then we sort of...kissed."

Jared raised his eyebrow. "You kissed?"

"Yeah. And that's about it."

Finn threw his arms up with an exasperated sigh. "Not fucking again."

For the next 30 minutes they proceeded to tell me what a bad idea that was and all the things that would follow after that kiss. In class Demetrius was dangerously close to me and chattin about nothing. He was in such a good mood and I didn't know what to do. It was like for the rest of the day I was on auto pilot. I was just thinking about everything that happened. How I was going to break it to Ace. I just couldn't come up with solution to this. So I just put everything on hold for a minute. I stopped thinking. I just acted like nothing was wrong until I could come up with something. And I knew it would take a while.

In my attempt at trying not to think about my bad decisions I tried to enjoy a movie night with my best friends. We hadn't done one in forever and they were still scowling at me from yesterday but they quickly got over it. We just had normal teenager night with no problems or conflict except for which movie we wanted to see. I suggested a Leonardo DiCaprio movie because they're always good but Jared wanted to see Fight Club and Finn wanted to see The Book Thief. It took us a while to decide before Mom intergected and said we were gonna watch The Hunger Games. And that shut us up. It was good night.

Ace came by today which made me sweat really intensely. He hadn't really called before hand or anything so I wasn't prepared when Mom called me downstairs and I saw his face. Of course, I looked incredibly ugly with this bad christmas sweater and sweatpants on ---don't blame me it was laundry day. He came so we could have a nice date together since the last time we did something together was when we got snowed in and I was sick. I was especially worried since I hadn't come up with a proper way to tell him about my lies and cheating and Demetrius was walking towards my house at a fast pace. Finn was doing his bi-weekly chat with Garrison (I dont know if theyre a thing) but it didn't stop him from being nosey. I could clearly see him peeking from around the corner talking on the phone. When Demetrius walked into my house, he didn't even knock, I thought I was gonna die. To make matters worse Mom had offered everyone lemon cakes and brownies. It was like everyone had come to make my life a living hell. Ae didn't seem to mind at all while he ate his lemon cake and waited for my struggled answer. Fortunately (or Unfortunately), Demetrius had swooped in and asked me "if I was ready to go". Which meant (a) he was saving my ass or (b) he was planning something. Ace was confused for a minute but soon realized that me and Demetrius "had a thing to do" today and apologized for not calling. God, he was so cool with it I almost actually wanted to go with him. I was almost tempted to go if Demetrius hadn't looked at me with those intense eyes. When Ace left, Demetrius told me he had a whole day planned for us. Of course, I didn't want to go anywhere with him but I had no other choice. I could completely lie to Ace (like I was doing right now) or I could endure a whole day with Demetrius. I chose the day with Demetrius. He was actually really nice and kind about it. He had taken me to this circus that had come to town, then to an art museum that I had been wanting to go to for ages, and back at his house he had a cooking materials set up so we could make our own dinner. The cooking thing was more of competition to see who was better and obviously I won. To end the night we watched a movie then played some video games until I was ready to leave. Demtrius even insisted that I stay the night (even though I'm across the street) but I knew how that was gonna end, so I delightfully declined. No touching of the lips or hands were involved so that was a plus. I actually enjoyed myself. It hadn't been a manipulation tactic or anything. Just a nice day with the two of us. And god help me if I was having feeling for him again.
