Taylor's Love Story

Story of Us

"Are you out of your mind?" A scary yet sweet whispering voice surprised me while I'm getting my things from my locker. Yes, it was Drew.

"W-what? Hey! How are you?" I'm not sure but I think I'm blushing. I could feel my cheeks burning from excitement. I missed him so much. Ever since he and Miley got back together and I and Stephen spent time together, we've never talked.

His expression is weird. I've never seen him like that annoyed, frustrated, uneasy. He brushed his gorgeous hair irritatedly. "What is it with you and Stephen? Are you like..." He swallowed, "together?"

I looked down, trying to find the answers. Pathetically wishing there is a writing on the floor that may give me answers.

"Uhg... Kind of," I said between my teeth.

"Taylor," he said, still whispering and still frustrated, "Stephen is a player."

"You're a player too, right? I mean... foot...ball?" I'm trying to make a joke but his forehead creases more.

"This is no joke. You're dating a player!" he said, louder and more frustrating. It made me frustrated too.

"Well you're dating a slut! So... we're equal," I said straight to his eyes, forcing myself not to look crazily in love.

His expression changes from frustrated to angry. Very angry.

"Okay then. If that's your choice... Don't say I didn't warn you."

He started walking away but I'm not contented. I have so many questions. "What is it to you?" He faced me again. "Why do you care so much?" I see the confusion in his eyes when he looked away.

"I'm just concerned with my best friend."

I tried my best not to let those stupid tears come out. "Then don't. I'm perfectly capable of handling myself without you."

Then I walked away realy fast to get to the lady's room. The pathetic tears are so eager to go out.

two weeks later

After my first class, I went straight to the library. There are so many things to do and I don't have time to spend with Abigail's mani-pedi session. Although it makes me guilty since I have more time with Stephen than with her.

I walked quietly, of course, across the busy students. The library was full (of students, I mean), it's amazing that they can manage to be quiet. I remember when Drew and I were here, even just the two of us, we end up outside since we're very noisy.

Hmm. I remembered him again.

When I found the book I was looking for, I looked for an empty seat. There is one beside a weird guy and, across it, there are two beside a slutty chearleader.

Wait!

A chearleader? In a library?

"Miley! Here, I reserved you two seats!"

"Shhh..." the librarian whispered.

Drew stopped when he saw me.

"Babe, what's wrong?" But Miley didn't notice me. I just sat down beside the weird guy. Unfortunately, their seats are opposite mine so I can see them flirting. Although mostly, it's Miley clinging to Drew. He looked angry again.

The silence is so frustrating. I couldn't concentrate with what I'm reading. Who wold ever thought we'll end up like this? I didn't even get the chance to tell him everything.

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
