tuesday

today's the day we go back to school. I still haven't talked to taylor, and I don't intend on it.

I mean it's not like we were dating, I just liked him. and I thought he liked me too.

but that's the thing, boys like him don't get in relationships. and im not gonna get played.

i sigh and crawl out of bed.

I grab a pair of light wash high waisted shorts along with a black tank top and grey cardigan. I put that on and straighten my long blonde hair before applying mascara and a little eyeliner.

I spray on perfume, put deodorant on, and brush my teeth before walking downstairs and putting my combat boots on.

I get in my car and plug my phone into the aux cord and turn on 'drive' by Miley Cyrus.

when I finally get there i step out of my car and walk to my locker. I see taylor staring at me from across the hall and I roll my eyes, making sure he sees me do it.

I grab my stuff and shut my locker walking to class quickly.

I sit down in a seat towards the back, only for taylor to sit next to me moments later. I turned my head in the other direction, trying to pay the least bit of attention possible to him.

"Adrianna." he whispered. I didn't move.

"Adrianna." he said again, a bit louder. I still didn't budge.

"ade, I know you hear me." he sighs.

"oh, is it that obvious?" I say looking at him before looking away again.

"please, talk to me." he begs. i don't say anything, I just stare at the board in front of me.

"adria-" taylor attempts again but the bell rings. I stand up and walk out as fast as possible. I go to my locker and shove my books inside, replacing them with what I need for my next class. I turn around to walk away but instead i slam into someone's hard chest.

taylor.

I roll my eyes and attempt to walk around him but he won't let me.

"im not leaving you alone until we talk." he says looking me dead in the eye.

"fine." I say and fold my arms.

"let's go to my car." he said grabbing my hand. I pulled it away and walked out with him. I sat in the passenger seat and he sat in the drivers.

he stared at the wheel for a minute before he started talking.

"okay, so ashley, the girl I was 'with', is my ex. we dated for a couple months and she's the only girl I've ever been serious with. well, when dillon called me over he told me that ashley wouldnt leave him alone about me, and he was trying to talk to caitlin because he likes her. so he had me take her away so they could be alone. ashley told me she wanted to talk so I took her to the only somewhat quiet part of the house, my room. when we got in, she shut the door. at first I was confused but then she started to kiss me, everywhere. I tried to reject at first, but I was drunk. so eventually I went through with it and we had sex. but after that I realized it was a huge mistake and i told her that. then you walked in and I felt like such an asshole."

I take a minute to process it all. taylor looks at me as I stare at the dashboard blankly. he puts his head in his hands before speaking once again.

"Adrianna, I know i fucked up. im so sorry."

I want to forgive him, I really do. but something in my heart tells me not to. but wait, he told me he's never been in a relationship. he lied about that too?

"taylor, I want to forgive but I don't know. it doesn't really matter, we're not dating. and you lied to me, you told me you've never had a serious relationship. why wouldn't you tell me about her?" i asked, now looking him straight in the eye. he sighed as if hoping I wouldn't remember that part.

"we had something, different." he replies.

"great explanation." I roll my eyes.

"it's complicated." he mumbles.

"whatever." I say and open the door but im pulled back by taylor and before I can say anything I feel a pair of soft lips on my own.
