WHO WILL IT BE?

CHAPTER4:CONFUSION

Friday morning I woke up at 05:25,way before my alarm. I got out of bed and went to check if my parents were still here but saw that they left already. Downstairs I made me a cup of coffee and sat on the couch. Its 05:30 now meaning theres still a whole hour before I hve to get ready for school. I put on my iPhone and my headphones and played music. At 06:05 my phone rang on the couch next to me.

"Hello?" I answered without looking at the caller ID. "Hey Lia. Tyler here. Uh... I wanted to know if you'd like a ride to school?"he asked. "Thanks,but...my mom said she'll drive us to school." I lied. "Oh,well,ok. I'll see you at school then."he said. "Yea. See you later." I said and he hung up. I didnt mean to lie to him,but Im trying to avoid him as best as I can. After the call I got ready for school and woke up Eve. It was a mission impossible. After about 10minutes she woke up. "Whatsup?"she asked in a daze. "School? We need to get ready." I said and she got dine while I went down. At 07:30 we left and walked to school. It was a very silent walk,but it was comfortable.

At the school gate we separated. Its like a routine now. We enter the school together,leave together,but spend the day with others. Not that I have anyone else to spend the day with. I went to retrieve books from my locker and as I closed my locker I turned around,bumping right into someone. My books all fell to the floor. I bent to pick them up and heard laughter. It was "The Boys" . Someone haunched down to help me and when I looked up it was Lyle Alexander. This totally surprised me and when  he looked at his friends they fell silent. We straightened up and he handed over my other books.

I realised I was staring. "Sorry." I said and looked to the ground. "No need. It was my fault. Sorry."he said. "Sure." I said nervously. "Its Lia,right?"he asked and I nodded. What the heck?! He hasnt spoken to me since the middle of grade8. Robyn approached us. "Hey Loser. Why don't you go and chat up the nerds and geeks over there? Lyle is not your type or even in your league."she saud and pointed over to the kids in the grass. She thinks that because you always in class,pay attention,always excel in your work or perhaps where glasses that you are a nerd or geek.

"And let me guess. You think you are? Honestly,do you even have a type or do you experiment with every guy until you find it? Oh and Robyn,it takes a Loser to recognise another." I said an walked off. At that last part some of the guys snickered and some went,"Whoaaa." This is the first time I stuck up for myself and I wish Eve was here to see it. At this particular moment I felt good. This has started out to be a good day.

In homeclass I sat at my original seat. Tyler entered the class and sat two desks down from me. "Hey,"he greeted me while registration took place. "Hi." I said and turned to Eve,who was seated on the other side of me. "Hey Ty," she said. "Hey Eve. How you doing?"he asked. "Why dont you go sit next to him?" I whispered to Eve. "You sure?"she asked. "Yes." I said. "Thanks."she beamed and and went.

I was relieved because this way it was easier to avoid him. The bell rang and I hurriedly walked to the next class,and the next and the next. Succeedingly avoiding Tyler. Hooray!! First break I sat on the grass watching the soccer match. Tyler was talking to Lyle on the other side of the field. Tyler's back faced me,but I knew it was him. Lyle waved at me and,shyly,I waved back just when Tyler turned to see who Lyle was greeting. Tyler narrrowed his eyes at me. He looked confused. What?! I didnt do anything. Im just as confused. The next four periods flew by and I walked home aline since Eve was MIA after school.

At home Jodie was sitting on my bed with my laptop on his lap and my headphones in. I joined him on my bed and he paused whatever he was watching. "Afternoon." I greeted. "Hey how was school?"he asked. "Normal." I replied. "And Tyler?"he asked. "What about him?" I asked. "Did you speak to him?"he asked. "About?" I asked. "Dont play dumb,Lia."he said. "No I didnt. I cant. Not after Eve's confession last night." I said. "So you're just gonna avoid him? How long will that last Amelia?"he asked. "For as long as I can make it." I said. "Suit yourself."he said. "I need to change. Do you mind leaving the room for a few minutes?" I asked. "No problem," he said and left.

I changed into a navy sweatpants an a baggy white golfshirt. My hair tied into a messy pony. "Comfy?" Jodie asked. "Very." I said. "You've got a visitor. Dont ask who because I dont know."he said. "Okay...." I said confused.
