Hey guys, I'm so sorry about the long wait, I've been SO busy lately!

 

One Secret Too Many #7

 

Lexi

        I just sat in my seat for a couple seconds, shocked. Why did he just completely shut me down? Did I do something wrong? It seemed like he was so into me the first time we talked. I didn't have time to sit and think about it for too long, because the first class was about to start. Lucky for me, my class is close to my homeroom so I made it there on time.
        The day seemed to drag on, and it seemed like days until it was time for lunch. I found Molly and Aidan and sat down with them and a couple other people. I looked around the lunch room for Tyler, I really wanted to talk to him.
        After about 10 minutes of searching I gave up, he was probably just in the other lunch, because there's two at my school. I met eyes with Molly, and she looked at me questioningly, was the disappointment that clear on my face? I switched it to a smile and shook my head to let her know that nothing was wrong. She obviously didn't believe me, she's my best friend and can tell when I'm upset.
        Lunch ended 20 minutes later, and I tried to run away to escape the questioning I knew I'd be getting from Molly, but I wasn't quick enough. She pulled me aside into an empty hallway and just stared at me.
        "What?" I said defensively.
        "What's wrong, Lex? I know you were looking for someone at lunch and then you looked really upset. Who was it?" 
        I considered making up some story about how I was checking out some guy but then decided that she's my best friend and deserves to know the truth. Besides, she'd probably figure it out eventually anyway.
        "Okay, well when I was shopping with my family a couple days ago, I met this guy, named Tyler. He's new here this year, and I thou-"
        "Wait, Tyler Gilbert?" Molly interrupted me.
        "Yeah, have you met him yet?"
        "I have, he's in my first class of the day. He seemed kind of upset this morning. Did something happen?"
        "Well, kind of. He seemed like he was kind of into me when we met, then this morning in homeroom I tried to say hi and he wouldn't even look at me. I don't know what I did!"
        Molly looked at me sympathetically. "Oh, Lexi, I'm sure you just made him nervous because you're so pretty and he likes you so much."
        I laughed. "Nice try Molls, but that's not it. He seemed like he was mad at me."
        The warning bell rang, so we had to end our conversation. 
       "Don't worry Lex, I know you, and I know you'll work it out." She said, and with that, she walked away to her next class.
        I hope she's right.

Tyler

        I drove to the school in the crappy car my dad left for me. But that didn't matter to me, because I know that I was going to see Lexi again today. I shouldn't get excited about that, I mean she has a boyfriend. She's not interested in me at all. Even though I knew that, I still couldn't get her out of my mind.
        I pulled into the first open parking spot I could find and got out. Here goes nothing. I walked towards the school, looking around at my new classmates, and also looking for Lexi. I found her, and started to walk towards her. Then a big guy came up behind her and hugged her. I started to run when I heard Lexi scream, but stopped when I saw her smile. This guy must be her boyfriend, the same one she was with at Staples a couple days ago.
        Jealousy burned through my veins. I had no place to be jealous, but I couldn't help it. I stood, frozen, as I watched her hug this guy. I started to walk again, but kept my eyes on Lexi. I bumped into someone, and turned my eyes to them instead. It was a guy, about my height, with curly brown hair and brown eyes. He immediately apologized, and I told him not to worry about it and that it was my fault. 
        I smiled to reassure him that it was fine, and he tentatively smiled back. This guy seemed really shy. He finally said, "Hey are you new around here? I haven't seen you before."
        I sighed, "Yeah I'm new. I just moved from California a couple weeks ago."
       "You should try out for football, you look like you could run really fast to be a reciever."
       "Oh yeah, I love football. Maybe I will. Do you play?" I asked.
       "Yeah I do, and I know we're really lacking some good players. I hope to see you there!" He said with a smile.
        "I'll come!" I said, and with that he walked off. I then remembered Lexi, and looked just in time to see her kiss that guy on the cheek. I wanted to punch something really badly, but now wasn't the time. I stormed off to find my homeroom. I found it, walked in, and sat down.
        A few seconds later, Lexi walked through the door, and I felt an urge to run up and hug her, but obviously I couldn't because of her boyfriend. Thinking of her boyfriend made me go cold.
        Lexi sat down next to me and smiled. "Hey!" She said.
        I stared at her for a second, fighting an urge to either confront her about her boyfriend or to let it go and try my best not to kiss her right that second. I decided on the second option, and said, "Hi," with much restrain. I then turned to the front because I was so afraid of what I might do if I look into her eyes.
       She turned to the front, too. I could tell she was hurt, but I didn't know what else I could do. I sat through homeroom in silence, and as soon as the bell rang I got out of there as fast as I could to avoid awkward conversation about how I just treated her. This year might be tough.

Lexi

 

        I fiercely hugged my surprise attacker, Aidan. He's been my best guy friend since the 3rd grade. He laughed, "Hey Lex, did you miss me?
        I finally let go of him and rolled my eyes. "Oh not at all," I said with a wink. "That's why I got so excited when I saw you for the first time in a month!"
        Aidan just kept laughing while I took him in. He was good looking, there was no fighting that. He was very muscular, very tan, with chocolate brown eyes and very dark brown hair that was cut really short. But we're just friends, and I love him like a brother.
        I looked away from Aidan to see my other best friend, Molly, standing right behind him quietly. I screamed yet again and hugged her too. She wasn't expecting it, and fell back a little from my weight. But she laughed and hugged me back anyway. Molly is gorgeous, she has a perfect body, fair skin, long, curly blonde hair, and gray eyes. I get jealous of her beauty sometimes, but she's not one to flaunt it around.
        I looked at my two best friends, thinking how I was so lucky to have them.
        "Lexi, what are you looking at?" Molly asked, laughing.
        "Oh nothing," I replied, "Just thinking how I have the two best friends anyone could ask for."
        Molly just rolled her eyes and smiled, but Aidan said, "If you love us so much, how come you didn't invite us up to your summer house?
        "Come on, Aidan, you know that only my family goes up there!" I said.
        "Yeah, I know that. I'm just teasing you." He winked.
        The warning bell interrupted us, and we knew we had to go. I hugged Molly one more time and she was off to her homeroom. I turned to Aidan and gave him a kiss on the cheek, we're friends like that, so it wasn't awkward. "Bye Lex." He said.
        "See ya Aidan!" I answered. With that, Aidan turned and walked off to his homeroom. I walked into my homeroom, and saw Tyler! Yay! He's in my homeroom! I thought. This year was really turning out great. I sat next to Tyler and smiled. "Hey!"
        "Hi," He said coldly. Then he turned forward in his desk and the teacher walked in. I turned to the front, shocked at how he treated me. What did I do? I thought to myself. He was so nice to me in Staples. Why does he seem like he hates me now?
        I couldn't do anything about it now, because the announcements were on and we weren't allowed to talk. I sat through homeroom in silence, and when the bell rang, I turned to Tyler to ask what his problem was, but he was already halfway across the room to the door. I decided I'd find him after school, and walked to my first period class.

Lexi

        BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
        I groaned and rolled over to turn off my alarm clock. It's only 6 in the morning. I almost rolled over and fell back asleep, but then I remembered. I remembered it was the first day of school, and I remembered that the first day of school meant seeing Tyler again. That motivated me to get out of bed and drag myself into the shower.
        I was more awake after my shower, and I went back into my room and got dressed. I picked out my outfit last night, a cute summer dress from Hollister with Old Navy flip flops. I did my makeup right after. I spent a long time doing my makeup, I wanted it to look perfect. When I finished I got out the hair dryer and dried my hair. Then I straightened it, and clipped my bangs to the side.
        I ran downstairs to find Ian already making everyone pancakes for breakfast. He saw me, and smiled. I raised my eyebrows, looking at the pancakes. He just rolled his eyes and asked me to get all the plates for everyone. Eventually everyone came downstairs and ate, and then we all piled into the car after my mom took our annual "First Day of School Picture."
        We pulled up to the school and parked. We all got out and walked towards the front door. I was excited to see Tyler, and still hoping I had some classes with him. I was still thinking about Tyler when strong arms wrapped around my waist. I turned around to see who it was, and screamed.

One Secret Too Many #3
 

Tyler

 

        I turned into the aisle with pens and almost tripped over a girl kneeling down on the ground. I opened my mouth to tell her to move over, but then I actually looked at her. I couldn't see her face, but she had long, light brown hair that was loosely curled and gorgeous. She was tan, too. I prayed her face would be as pretty as the rest of her and asked, "Hey, do you need some help?"
        The girl looked up, startled, and it took everything I had not to gasp out in amazement and shock. She was more gorgeous than I was hoping. She had amazing, clear, green eyes, with thick and full eyelashes around them. She had a perfect nose, and light pink lips. She seemed as shocked as I felt, but probably because she was so surprised by my entrance. She managed to stutter out, "Um... no.. I just uh.. sure, thanks."
        Her voice almost knocked me out, it matched her perfectly. Bright and chiming, like bells. I bent down and picked up the rest of her pens. I gave them to her and smiled, and she took them and told me, "Thanks," with a smile that showed rows of perfect, white teeth.
        I didn't know what to say, but I wanted to stay and talk with her. Thankfully, she broke the silence, and said, "Hey, I'm Lexi." She stuck out her hand for a handshake.
        I slowly reached out and took her soft hand in mine. "Hi Lexi," I said, "I'm Tyler."
        She asked me if I was new around here, and I told her I just moved from California. Looks like I won't be missing my old home all that much. I asked if she was going to the school that was in town, and she said yes. I smiled, and told her how happy I was that I was going to know someone on the first day.
        That's when a male voice rang througout the store, calling, "Lexi? Lex, where are you? We're leaving!"
        They were calling Lexi. Man, does she have a boyfriend? She's probably only being this friendly to me because I'm the new guy. Man, I'm so stupid!
        "Sorry, I guess I have to go," she said. "I'll see you when school starts!"
        I almost didn't say goodbye, I was too caught up in my own thoughts. I realized she was walking away and called out, "Yeah, see you."
        She waved and kept walking away. Why did she have to do that to me? Ty, I told myself, get over her. She's just some girl who already has a boyfriend and you have no shot. Deal with it.
        I listened to the voice inside my head, and tried not to think about Lexi leaving the store with her perfect boyfriend. Why do I care so much? I met this girl not five minutes ago! I kept telling myself that, but for some reason, it still hurt.

        "Um... no.. I just uh.. sure, thanks." I said nervously. My God, he was gorgeous. He was tall, with a lean body. I'm sure that under that Abercrombie shirt there's a six pack. He has very dark hair, that was cut on the shorter side, with bangs that flipped off to the side. He was tan, too. He must've just gotten back from a warm and sunny vacation.
        He bent down, too, and picked up the rest of the pens for me. We both stood up and he smiled and handed me my pens. I smiled, and said, "Thanks."
         I put most of the pens back on the shelf, keeping one pack of the black and blue pens, and the pack of gel pens. He was still standing there, so I tried to start conversation.
        "Hey, I'm Lexi." I said, sticking out my hand.
        He took my hand, and said, "Hi Lexi, I'm Tyler."
        "So, Tyler, are you new around here? Just because I haven't seen you around. It's a pretty small town, so I kinda know everyone."
        "Yeah, I just got here about a week ago. I used to live in California. Do you go to the school in town?"
        "Yeah I do, and I'm assuming you'll go there, too?"
        "Yeah, and now I know someone for the first day!" Tyler flashed his beautiful smile again.
        I opened my mouth to answer him when Ian's voice rang throughout the store, "Lexi? Lex, where are you? We're leaving!"
        I turned to Tyler, and said, "Sorry, I guess I have to go. I'll see you when school starts!" It took almost all I had to tear my eyes away from his gorgeous face.
        He called back as I was leaving, "Yeah, see you!"
        I turned and waved as I was walking. Then I found Ian with Gia and Jeremy waiting by the registers. I put my pens on the belt while Ian got out his wallet. I couldn't stop thinking about Tyler. I hoped I'd have some classes with him.
        Ian paid and we all went back into the car. I stared out the window, and thought about how amazing Tyler was.

Lexi

 

        I stared out the window as we continued our drive to Staples to get school supplies. Ugh, back to school already. Summer really flew by this year. As if he knew what I was thinking, Ian patted my shoulder from the driver's seat and said, "I know, Lexi, I know. But just think, two more years and you'll be outta here!"
        "Yeah, and only one more year for you bro!" I said back. I'm really not that upset about going back to school, it's just that this summer was so fun and I don't want it to end. We spent nearly all of it at our beach house, just us kids. My parents had to stay home and work, as they do a lot of the time. So Ian, Jeremy, Gia, and I spent most of the summer by ourselves. It was fine by us! I'll introduce them, Ian is my older brother. He's 18 and a senior in high school. He's captain of the football team, basketball team, and baseball team. Needless to say, he's pretty athletic, but he's also really smart and we have the kind of relationship that I know I can trust him to help me with anything I need. Jeremy and Gia are twins, and they're going into their freshman year. Jeremy loves listening to his iPod in his room with the door closed and locked, but he lets me come in and hang with him sometimes. Gia's the best sister anyone could ask for, she loves to come shopping with me, we hang out all the time, and we barely ever fight. And then there's me, going into my junior year. I'm not really into sports, I mostly like hanging around with my friends and family.
        We rounded the corner and Staples came into view. Everyone except Ian groaned. "Come on guys, we're just buying the supplies, it's not like we're walking into school yet!" he said. I smiled, I have to admit that he's doing a good job at trying to keep us happy.
        Ian parked and we all walked into Staples together, then we split up. I went to get pens and pencils, while Ian and Gia went to look at binders and notebooks. Jeremy looked at drawing pads, did I mention he's into art, too? I picked up a couple packages of pens and tried to decide whether I wanted colored or just plain black and blue, and then I saw some gel pens and accidentally dropped everything I was holding when I reached for the gel pens. I bent down to pick them up, when someone asked, "Hey, do you need some help?"
        I looked up and saw the most gorgeous, deep blue eyes that I've ever seen in my life.
