Chapter 6

Yesterday, after Tyler had kissed me, I ran out of his house. I didn’t stop until I got to school. He kissed me?!!! Why would he do that?? Sarah was right; he did like me. I knew this because after he pulled away, he blushed really badly and begged me not to leave. There was no way I was going to listen to him, though.

This morning, I put on my dark skinny jeans and my almost knee-high leather boots. I throw on my favorite shirt; it was white at the top but then the tips of the sleeves and the end of the shirt were purple. I quickly tie my hair into a messy bun and put on a little mascara and foundation. Okay and some lip gloss, too. Then I grab my bag and head out the door to the bus. There was absolutely no way I was riding with Tyler. Not after that stunt he pulled yesterday!

When I get to the bus stop, I pull out my iphone and wait. Just as I’m about to start playing Angry Birds, Tyler pulls up in his jeep.

“Em!! Come on, get it!!” he yells through the cold air. I look up and shake my head.

“Please, Em!”

“No.” I say.

But Tyler doesn’t listen; he never listens. He jumps out of his car and walks over to me. Then he grabs my bag and throws it over his shoulder before wrapping his arms around my waist.

“Tyler?...No! No no no no no no NO! Put me down!”

But of course he didn’t listen. He picked me up and carried me over to his car and sat me down. Then he closed the door and climbed in the driver seat. I glared at him.

“What did you do that for?”

“The bus came twenty minutes ago. You were going to be late.”

“Oh is that the reason? Are you sure you didn’t just want to hold me around my waist?”

“Emma! What do you…oh. That.” He says when he realizes what I was talking about.

I can see our tiny school up ahead, but when we get to the entrance, he keeps driving.

“Where are we going? Turn the car around!!”

He didn’t answer and kept driving.

I kept protesting for what felt like hours. I was being kidnapped by my best friend!! But finally he pulled over when we reached the mountain side. He stepped out and I followed. There was no way he was leaving me.

“Um where do you think you’re going?” I ask.

He walks over to me and grabs my hands. “Time to talk. What’s up? Why are you avoiding me?”

“You kissed me.” I whisper.

“Yes, love. I kissed you. I know you know I like you. And ever since you’ve known you’ve been acting weird. First, you avoid me and then you stop talking to me altogether after I kiss you!? Why?”

“I love you Tyler…”

His eyes looked hopeful.

“But like a brother.”

“Oh.”

A look of anger flashed across his face and then he stomped over to his car and got in. Tears filled my eyes. I didn’t want him to hate me! He was my best friend, and I wanted it to stay like that.

I walk over and knock on the window.

“What.” He says after finally making it go down.

“Tyler…” I start.
