Chapter 12
We pulled apart and Tyler embraced me in his arms.
"I'm sick of this. I hate fighting with you." he said, kissing the top of my head.
"I know Ty. I don't know why I believed those stupid rumors. I just didn't know what to make of it all." I replied.
"We're together now and that's all that matters." he said, hugging me tight. I hugged him back, glad that we weren't fighting anymore.
"I'll pick you up for school tomorrow?" he asked, giving me one last kiss before he left. I shook my head yes, and smiled as he left. I was happy again, and it was about time. I went to sleep, glad everything was fine between Tyler and me. 
When I woke up the next morning, I threw on a blue top and a pair of white skinny jeans, with matching blue flats. I fishtailed my hair and grabbed my schoolbag, walking downstairs and out the door to Tyler's car. 
"Hey." I said, getting in the passenger's seat. He leaned over and grabbed my hand, lacing his fingers with mine. I smiled at this gestures, glad things were okay with us again. 
"You're beautiful." he said randomly. I was blushing, hard. 
"Thanks baby." I said, leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek. He did that adorable half smile thing, and I was just so glad he was mine. After we got to school, I had to go to my locker, so I told him I would meet him at lunch. 
"Okay babe. Good luck on your psychology test!" he said, and I laughed because I wasn't taking psychology. It was sweet of him to remember I had a test today though. But in philosophy. I walked to my locker, and Luke gave me the usual hello. We walked to first period together and took our seats next to each other. Luke was really starting to become someone I could trust, even if Tyler didn't like it. After the first half of the day was done, I walked to my locker to get my lunch. 
"Hey Martinezzzzz!" I said, before Luke could greet me. I was in a good mood because Tyler and I were perfect again. Luke waited for me to get my lunch out of my locker, then we went to lunch. I couldn't find Tyler for a few minutes, so I sat with Luke. Shortly after, Tyler arrived. And didn't look too happy that I was sitting with Luke. 
"Hey Kourt. We're sitting over there." he said, pointing to a table full of jocks. 
"Oh, okay. Wanna come sit with us Luke?" I asked, even though Tyler wouldn't like it. 
"That's alright. I'm good here." he replied, and I gave him an apologetic look before following Tyler. 
"Wanna come over after school?" he asked me, and I shook my head yes. We've been dating for a few months and I still haven't met his parents. 
After school ended, I met Tyler at his truck. He drove to his house, and I couldn't help but stare at him for most of the ride there. 
"What?" he asked, looking self conscious. 
"Nothing. I just can't believe that I'm lucky enough to date a stud like you." I said, winking and giggling. He laughed, and pulled into his driveway. 
"Mom, Dad!" he called, and realized his parents were standing a few feet away. 
"And who's this?" his mother asked, walking over to us. 
"This is my gorgeous girlfriend Kourtney." he said, biting his lip to keep from smiling too much. His parents shook my hand and introduced themselves. 
"It's so nice to meet the girl we've been hearing so much about!" said his father, and I laughed, feeling glad that Tyler has told his parents about me. 
"She's great, trust me." Tyler said, pressing his lips against mine and throwing his arm around my back. I think, just maybe, I might be falling in love.

Chapter 11
I was so frustrated, I couldn't concentrate all day. The thought of Tyler cheating on me with Megan. Of all people. I don't understand why though. And if he didn't, why would people make that up? I left school early, walking home. I walked into the house and didn't even acknowledge Nick. 
"Hey, everything alright?" he asked. 
"Fine." I said, and walked up to my room. I spent all afternoon doing homework and studying, because it took my mind off Tyler. I got a text message from him around 6 o'clock. 
Tyler: Can we talk? Please? 
I didn't reply, because I was still upset with him. I don't know what to believe. I went back to my schoolwork and took a break at 7 for dinner. I walked into the kitchen and Nick was sitting at the table. 
"So you finally come out of your room." he said, laughing. I pretended to not hear him, and got myself something to eat. 
"So you skipped swim practice today?" he asked. 
"Yeah." I answered, really not in the mood to talk to him right now. 
"Are you gonna tell me why?" he asked, trying to get me to open up. 
"Because I have a bunch of homework and I'm really not feeling all that great." I said, which was the truth. 
"Is that all?" he asked, and I shook my head yes. 
"Okay, seriously. What's up?" he asked, sensing something was wrong. 
"I really don't want to talk about it right now Nick. Especially with you." I said, turning my back to him while searching through the cabinets. 
"Tyler called the house earlier. Are you gonna call him back?" he asked. 
"No." I said. 
"Are you two still together?" he asked. 
"Yeah. No offense, but I'm really not in the mood to talk right now." I said. 
"Okay. Well Marissa and I are going out tonight, just wake me up before you have to leave for school tomorrow." he said. I went back to my room and finished my homework at around 9 o'clock. I heard a knock on the double doors leading from my room to the patio. I looked through the curtains and saw Tyler standing out there in the pouring rain. With no umbrella. I unlocked the door and opened it. I didn't say hi to him or anything, just waited for him to speak. 
"I called and texted." he said. I just stared at the ground. 
"Kourt. You have to believe me. I would never cheat on you. Especially with Megan." he said, staring into my eyes. 
"Tyler, I really don't know what to believe." I said. 
"We're never going to get through this if we don't talk." he said, still standing in the rain. 
"Then talk." I said. 
"Can I come in?" he asked, gesturing to my dry bedroom. I opened the door wider and let him in. 
"Kourtney. Things are going so good for us. Why would i want to screw that up?" he asked. 
"I honestly don't know. But if you didn't cheat on me, why are people saying you hooked up with Megan?" I asked, frustrated. 
"I don't know!" he yelled. 
"Ty, I don't know if I can do this." I said. 
"What? You're gonna let this rumor tear us apart?" he said. 
"I just want you to tell me the truth!" I screamed. 
"I DIDN'T CHEAT ON YOU!" he hollered. 
"How can you prove it?" I asked, quieter. 
He didn't answer me with words, but his lips crushed into mine. And in that moment, it didn't matter whether or not he cheated on me, all that mattered was that we were together.

Chapter 10
Tyler and I were going strong a month into our relationship. Luke and I were friends. Everything was going pretty good. Well, at least I thought it was.
I woke up and took a quick shower. I braided my hair to the side while throwing on an off white shirt and a pair of jean capris. I laced up my pink nikes and grabbed my school stuff. 
"Nick, Tyler's giving me a ride today. I'll be home after school." I said, walking out the front door to greet my boyfriend. I got in his truck and gave him a kiss on the cheek. 
"Hey babe. You look cute today." he said, smiling at me. I buckeld my seatbelt, and he drove us to school. 
When we got to school, Tyler and I got out of the car and walked through the double doors hand in hand. People were staring at us, and I didn't know why. 
"Why is everyone looking at us?" I whispered as we continued to walk through the halls. 
"Probably just jealous cause my girlfriend's the most gorgeous girl ever." he said, flashing me a smile. 
I heard them whispering, and it was starting to get on my nerves. I caught part of a conversation going on between two sophmores. 
"Yeah, I heard he slept with Megan. Like yesterday." said one of the girls said. 
"What are they talking about?" I asked him, my tone suddenly serious. 
"I don't know." he said, scratching the back of his neck. 
"Tyler, seriously. Are they talking about you?" I asked, hoping they had just misheard something. 
"I have no idea." he said. 
"Fine." I said, walking off towards my locker. I felt like Tyler wasn't telling me something, but I ignored it. 
"Nice kicks Martin." Luke said as I walked to my locker. 
"Thanks Luke." I said, smiling. I just needed a friend right now. 
"So what's up? Everything alright?" he asked me. 
"Yeah. Actually, no." I said, and started to confide in him. 
"You haven't heard?" he asked, and a look of pain crossed his face. 
"What?" I asked, eager to know. 
"Apparently Megan and Tyler hooked up over the weekend." he said, staring at the ground while he said that. 
"What?" I asked, not wanting to believe it. He repeated himself, and I just walked off. I went to my first period class in a badn mood, and when the bell rang I went to find Tyler.
"Tyler!" I called out his name when I spotted him coming out of the english classroom. 
"Hey babe." he said, wrapping his arms around me and giving me a hug. 
I didn't hug him back, and he must have sensed something was wrong. 
"Is it true?" I whispered, staring at the ground. 
"Is what true?" he asked back. 
"Don't lie to me. Did you kiss her?" I asked, looking up into his eyes. 
"Who? Megan? No! I didn't! I swear." he said, staring into my eyes. A part of me wanted to believe him, but I just turned my back on him and walked away. 
Is it true? Did he really cheat on me? With Megan of all people?

Chapter 9
Luke walked away after he said that, and I was confused. I walked to my locker and grabbed my books for the next class. Tyler met me at my locker and walked me to english. 
"You coming to the game tonight?" he asked, with a winning smile.
"I think so." I said, still not sure. I walked into my english class, and the class went by fast. I had chemistry afterwards, which went by fast because it was my best subject. I walked to my locker to grab my lunch, and saw Luke at his. 
"Hey." he said. 
"Hi." I replied, feeling awkward. 
"Look, just forget about what I said earlier." he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. I shut my locker and turned towards him. 
"Only if you tell me what you meant by it." I said, actually curious. 
"I just think a girl like you should be with someone better than Tyler." he said, looking at the ground. 
"Like who?" I asked, knowing what was coming next. 
"Like me." he said, looking into my eyes. His eyes were beautiful, and I had never noticed that before. 
"Luke, you're a good guy. But I really like Tyler. I feel like you and me are starting to become good friends." I said. 
"Friends. Okay." he said, walking past me. I walked next to him, and Megan walked by us. She gave me a dirty look. I just ignored it. 
"Luke, I'm serious. I really think of you as a friend." i said, meaning it. 
"Okay. I guess we can be friends." he said, cracking a smile. We walked into the lunch room together, and I saw Tyler sitting at his table. I remembered I told him I would sit with him today, so I said bye to Luke and walked over to where my boyfriend was sitting. I sat between him and Joey, a varsity soccer player, and my ex-boyfriend. 
"Just like old times." he whispered in my ear. I ignored his comment. Joey broke up with me in order to date Megan. 
Lunch was fun, and afterward I had an hour and a half of study hall, so I just went home. 
"Tyler, do you have class now?" I asked, hoping he would say no. 
"Spanish. Sorry babe." he said, and walked off to his class. 
"You need a ride? I have study hall this period." said a familiar voice. Luke. 
"Um.." I trailed off, not knowing what to say. 
"Come on, we're friends right?" he said, trying to convince me. 
"Well I really don't want to talk, so sure." I said, and followed him out to his car. The ride was kind of quiet, except for the music on the radio. I told him where I lived, which was near him. He pulled into my driveway, and for some reason, I invited him in.
"You wanna hang out? I don't have homework, and it gets boring around here." I said, suprising myself.
"Sure." he said, following me to the back patio. We just hung out and talked. I learned that he was going through a tough time right now, because his mom was just diagnosed with cancer. He had a lot of stuff going on in his life, but you would never be able to tell. About two hours later, I heard a car door shut. I thought it was just Nick, but realized I was wrong when I heard some guy call out my name. Tyler. 
"Uh oh. Tyler's here." I said, staying seated. 
He walked out back and saw Luke and I talking. 
"Kourtney? What are you doing?" he asked, looking confused. 
"Nick couldn't pick me up, so Luke gave me a ride home." I explained. He walked up to us, and I couldn't help but notice there was the slightest bit of pain in his eyes. 
"I should go." Luke said, standing up and leaving. I said bye, and he drove away. 
"What was that about?" he asked, looking jealous. 
"What? I can't be friends with him?" I asked. 
"Do you have feelings for him?" he asked, the words soft and quiet. 
"No." I said, even though I knew I was lying.

Chapter 8
I went up to my room to change out of my bathing suit. I threw on a pair of white shorts and a black tshirt and walked back downstairs. I only imagined how awkward it was for Tyler to hang out with my brother while I got changed, knowing that he didn't like him. 
"I'm back!" I announced, walking into the kitchen. Marissa was cooking, which suprised me. 
"So how did you and Marissa meet?" I asked, actually curious. She looked like the kind of girl you would meet in a club, which is probably where Nick did meet her. 
"Through friends." he said vaguely, and I knew what that meant. The dinner wasn't as awkward as I had thought it was going to be. I was nice to Marissa, because I wanted Nick to be happy. He was civil with Tyler, which I appreciated. I couldn't see why he didn't like Tyler, because he's only met him once before. After Tyler left, Nick and Marissa went out for the night, leaving me home alone. I went up to my bedroom and logged into my Facebook account.
RELATIONSHIP REQUEST FROM TYLER JOHNSON. I accepted, and saw that I had a new message. I clicked on the chat box and saw that Luke messaged me.
Luke Martinez: Hey Martin. Sorry about last night. Megan was way out of line. I should have stood up for you.
Kourtney Martin: Don't apologize, she's not your responsibility. And I can fight my own battles.
Luke Martinez: Yeah, she is my responsibility. I'll make sure that doesn't happen again.
Kourtney Martin: No offense, but she's kind of a jerk...
Luke Martinez: Yeah, I know...
Kourtney Martin: If you don't mind me asking, why are you dating her if you think she's a jerk?
Luke Martinez: I honestly don't know..
I didn't respond to this, already suprised that I had asked him that question. I went to bed, getting some well needed sleep.
I woke up the next morning and jumped in the shower. When I got out, I threw my hair up into a messy bun and walked over to my closet. I picked a tribal print top and jean capris with my gladiator sandals as my outfit for the day. I grabbed my bookbag and put on my sunglasses, because it was bright out today.
"Ready?" I asked Nick as I walked down the stairs, in a rush to get to school.
"Sure." he said, sounding hungover. Shocker.
"Thanks for the ride." I said, once he pulled into the school parking lot. I got out of the car and met up with my friend Carley.
"Hey good lookin!" she said, giving me a hug. It's been weeks since I hung out with Carley, and it was nice to have someone new to talk to.
"what's up girly?" I asked.
"Word on the street is you bashed out Megan at Luke's party!" she said, waiting for the details.
"Not really.." I said, trailing off. I walked to my locker, and she followed me.
"Hey Martin." said Luke, and I just ignored him, while continuing my conversation with Carley. When Tyler walked up to my locker, she walked off.
"Hey." I said, looking up at Tyler.
"Hey cutie. I gotta go, but I just wanted to say hi. Sit with me at lunch today?' he asked with a hopeful smile. I said yes, and he walked off.
"Honestly Lukey. Just move lockers. I don't want you haveing to be next to that every single day." I didn't even have to turn around to know who was talking. Megan.
"Megan, stop." he said, seeming annoyed.
"What?" she snapped, irritated.
"You can't just talk about people like they're invisible." he said, sticking up for me. I thought I told him I could fight my own battles.
"And you can't tell me what to do." she said.
"Well, let me tell you this. We're over." he said, walking away after slamming his locker shut. She stood with her mouth open wide, then walked over to me.
"Look, I don;t know what game you're trying to play here, but you will never get my boyfriend." she said.
"I think you mean ex." I pointed out with a smirk on my face.   
"Whatever. You better watch out Kourtney. Or I'll make you regret it." she said, and stormed off. I walked to class, which was the same class I had with Luke. I walked in just as the bell rang, and took the seat closest to the door. Which also happened to be the seat closest to Luke. 
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked him, thinking he would be upset. 
"I'm actually kinda relieved." he said with a small smile. 
"You can do better than her." I said, offering him a smile. 
"Thanks Kourt." he said, calling my by my nickname, and not my last name. 
After class, Luke asked me to wait for him. 
"Look, I know we're not really good friends, but thanks for being there for me. It means a lot." he said. 
"Hey, no problem." I said, suprised that he was being this nice to me. 
"and when you said I could do better? I was thinking the exact same thing about you." he said. 
Did I hear him correctly?

Chapter 7
I woke up the next morning at around ten o'clock. It was Sunday morning, and I didn't have any plans for today. I walked downstairs in my pajamas and sat down on the couch. 
"Morning sleepy head." Nick said, handing me a glass of water. 
"Thanks." I said, taking a sip. 
"So, how was your night?" he asked, and I went into detail. He said he wasn't suprised that I won homecoming queen, but I knew he was lying. You could tell by the look on his face. 
"I don't know about that Tyler kid..I think you're better off with Matt." he said seriously. 
"Yeah, well Matt and I are just friends. And I'm dating Tyler, not you, so you don't have to like him." I said, growing frustrated.
"I'm your guardian, and if I don't want you hanging out with him, then you won't." he said. 
"Honeslty Nick? You've always been such a great brother, and once I'm finally happy, you have to go and screw up my life? You're not my father you know. So stop acting like it." I said, harsher than I intended to. He looked upset, but he just upset me, so he deserved it. I walked back up to my room and took a shower. I then threw on a gray tank top and my favorite pair of jean shorts, completing the outfit with my toms. I checked my phone and saw that I had a new text message from Tyler. He wanted to hang out today, so I texted him back, telling him to pick me up in five. 
I walked back downstairs and told Nick I was going out with Tyler. 
"Whatever. Just be careful." he said, not bothering to look at me. When Tyler pulled up, I walked out of the house and into his truck. 
"Hey there." he said, smiling at me. 
"Hi." I said, my voice dripping with attitude. 
"Whoa, what's up?" he asked, genuinely concerned. 
"What's up is I'm finally happy with my life, and my brother decides to go and mess it up. He doesn't like you. I have no idea why." I said, being straight up with him. 
"You like me right?" he asked, teasingly. 
"Yes, I do like you." I said, and he got me to smile. We drove to the beach, and luckily I had thought to put on my bikini beforehand. 
"I can't believe it's this hot in October." I said, fanning myself with my hand. 
"Well, we do live in Cali." he said, laughing. We walked out onto the white hot sand and set our towels down. I slipped my sunglasses over my eyes and grabbed Tyler's hand, making him come for a walk with me. 
"Let's get to know each other." I said, swinging out arms back and forth. 
"What do you want to know?" he asked. 
"Why me? Why did you make me your girlfriend?" I asked, actually curious. 
"There's just something about you. You don't care what people think. You're funny, outgoing, and smart. Not to mention beautiful." he said, shooting me a smile. 
"How many girls have you said that to?" I joked. 
"A lot." he confessed. 
"But I actually mean it when I say it to you." he said, which made my heart melt. We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the beach, occasionally playing volleyball or going for a swim. 
"You ready to go home?" he asked, as we were picking up our stuff. 
"Yeah." I answered, climbing into his truck. He drove me ack to my house, and I invited him to stay for dinner. 
"I don't think Nick would like that." he said. 
"I don't care what Nick thinks." I responded, and Tyler followed my into the house. 
"We're back." I hollered, and saw Nick walk down the stairs. 
"I didn't think you would be back so early." he said.
"I invited Tyler for dinner." I said, and Nick glared at me. 
"Okay, well if Tyler's staying, then so is Marissa." he said, referring to the brunette coming down the stairs. She was fixing her shirt, and it was obvious that her and Nick were having 'fun' while I was gone. Ew. 
"Fine." I said, introducing myself and Tyler to Marissa. This was going to be an awkward dinner.

Chapter 6
"You do?" I asked. 
"Yeah. I really do." he said, his breath hot on my skin. 
He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the couch in the corner of his room. 
'Well, don't leave me hanging." he said, taking a seat while I stood in front of him. 
"I like you a lot Tyler Johnson." I said, blushing. I sat down next to him on the couch, resting my head on his shoulder. He put his arm around me, and we just sat there like that for a few minutes. 
"So how about the dance?" he asked, pulling me up from the couch and getting his ipod. 
He plugged it into his computer, and a few seconds later, "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCarney was flooding through the speakers. we slow danced to the song, and I felt happy. I was glad that I finally knew Tyler liked me. 
"Hey, you wanna go to a party?" he asked, after the song ended. 
"Where?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to go to one of his friends parties. 
"Luke's." he said. Of course. Once things are going fine with Tyler, he brings Luke into the equation. I don't know what I waas thinking when I said yes. We got into his truck and he drove to Luke's. There were a lot of cars here already. We got out and walked up to the front door, and Luke opened it and greeted us when we got there. 
"Hey!" he said, his gaze meetig mine, locking eyes with me for a second. Tyler gave him a bro hug, or whatever they call it. We walked into the big house and Tyler led me into the kitchen. I took one look back at Luke, I don't even know why. But when I did, I saw him staring right back at me. Tyler started talking to some friends, and I thought for a minute that he was going to ditch me. But what happened next shocked me. 
"You guys know my girlfriend Kourtney, right?" he asked, winking at me. 
"Girlfriend?" I asked, eyebrows raised. 
"What do you say? Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, holding both of my hands in his. 
"Let me think about this.." I joked, pretending that I actually had to think it over. 
"Okay." I said, once I realized he was getting nervous. We walked out on the back patio where there weren't as many people. 
"Is that how you ask all girls out? Ambush them in front of the guys?" I teased. 
"I didn't mean to pressure you. I just couldn't wait any longer." he said, staring deeply into my eyes. I saw Anna and her friend walk out back, and I had so much to tell her. 
"Don't hate me, but I'm going to ditch you for Anna." I said, giving him a hopeful smile. 
"Go have fun. I'll be with the guys." he said, walking back in the house. 
"Hey girl!" Anna screamed when she saw me. 
"Hey you! I have so much to tell you!" I said, and we sat on the steps leading down to the lawn. 
"What?" she asked, desperate for gossip. 
"Well, first of all, Tyler and I are dating now." I said, my face lighting up with a smile when I said that. 
"Oh my gosh! Yay!" she said, obviously excited for me. 
"I'm really happy too. Hey, are Megan and Luke fighting?" I asked, casually trying to bring them into the conversation. 
"I think so. She's here tonight, but they're not hanging out." she said, and I got up to get a bottle of water. Anna went back to hang out with her friend, and I was left alone. I couldn't find Tyler when I walked back into the house, but I saw Luke in the kitchen when I went to get a drink. 
"Hey Martin." he said, greeting me with my last name, as usual. 
"Hi Luke." I said, trying to be nice.  
"So did you have fun at the dance tonight?" he asked, trying to make a conversation. 
"Yeah, it was pretty fun." I said, offering him a smile. 
"Especially that last dance, eh?" he said, biting his lip while smiling. Gosh, that was cute. 
"Where's Megan?" I asked, changing the subject. 
"I don't know. I don't care." he said. 
"Everything alright?" I asked, trying to figure out what happened between them. 
"I don't know. She's just being her normal superficial self." he said, rolling his eyes. 
We talked for a few more minutes, because it would be awkward if I sat at the party all by myself. 
"Trying to steal my boyfriend?" I heard Megan say when she walked into the kitchen. 
"No, I'm not. We're just talking." I said, already annoyed by this girl. A crowd had started to grow around us. 
"It sure looks like you were enjoying talking with MY boyfriend." she said. 
"Megan, I don't wanna cause any trouble. I'll leave." I offered, hoping she would just stop. 
"Too late." she said, throwing her hands on her hips. 
"You know Kourt, just because you don't have a boyfriend, doesn't mean you can steal mine. I mean, I know you're desperate and all, but it's pathetic." she said. I laughed in her face. 
"I don't know if you heard, but I DO have a boyfriend. Tyler Johnson. And you know what's pathetic? The fact that you think you can walk all over people just because you think you're popular. But guess what? Being popular isn't going to get you anywhere in life. And neither is being a jerk. So you should just stop." I said, suprised that I stood up to her. Tyler was smiling, and I walked over to him, told him I was ready to leave, and we went home. 
"Thanks for the ride. It's been a crazy night." I said, laughing. 
"Why were you talking to Luke?" he asked. 
"What do you mean?" I asked back. 
"I didn't think you two were friends." he said. 
"Well, I couldn't find you, and I didn't want to hang out by myself." I said. 
"So you don't like him?" he asked. 
"If I liked him, would I do this?" I leaned over in my seat and pulled Tyler's face towards mine. Our lips met, and it felt magical. 
"Goodnight Tyler." I whispered seductively while getting out of the car. He just smiled lazily at me before driving off.

Chapter 5
"You look absolutely stunning." Tyler said, complimenting me again for the third time in two minutes. 
"Thanks." I said, biting my lip and blushing. 
"Hey Tyler." Matt walks up to us and shakes his hand, and even though Tyler knows matt and I are just friends, he looks upset that I'm here with another guy. 
"Wanna dance?" Matt asked me, a hopeful look on his face. 
"Absolutely!" I answered, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the dance floor. A fast beat song was just ending, and a slow sang began next. 
"May I have this dance?" Matt asked, goofind around. 
"I would be honored!" I replied, having a great time. We stayed on the dance floor for another two hours, having a blast with our friends. When I glanced towards Tyler, he looked like he was having a miserable time. 
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of night! We will be announcing our homecoming king and queen!" said the principal. 
"Our king this year is a member of the varsity football team." he said, giving us a hint. 
"Congratulations, Luke Martinez! Your 2012 homecoming king!" Everyone erupted into applause, and Luke seemed shocked. He went up to get his crown and flashed a winning smile. 
"And for the first time ever, the homecoming queen is a member of the varsity swim team." My heart started racing at that point. Nobody on the swim team ever won. I wondered who it was. 
"Congrats to Kourtney Martin! Your homecoming queen 2012!" My jaw dropped, I was so shocked. I had never even thought of winnig this. Matt gaev me a push towards the stage, and I made my way up there, looking stunned. 
"Hey there gorgeous." Luke whispered to me when I got on the stage. 
"And now for the first dance." announced the principal. 
Luke offered me his hand to help me off of the stage, and I took it. He led me to the middle of the dance floor where a small circle was cleared for us. The dance was awkward, because I wasn't absolutely crazy about Luke. When it was almost over, he pulled me close and whispered in my ear. 
"I really mean it. You're gorgeous." he said, and I suddenly felt guilty. 
"Thanks for the dance, but I have to go." I said, backing away. I walked over to Matt and he told me that Tyler had elft. 
"I'm sorry girl. If I knew he was gonna ask you, I never would have." he said, feeling sympathetic. 
"No, it's not your fault. I had a really great time tonight." I said with a smile. 
"Alright, let's go." he said, and I was confused. 
"But the dance isn't over yet." I said. 
"You're going to Tyler's. I'm driving." he said, grabbing my jacket and his car keys. We drove to Tyler's, and he dropped me off. 
"Thanks again mattie!" I said, leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek. 
I walked up to Tyler's front door and rang the doorbell. His mom answered the door. 
"Kourtney, hi sweetheart! Tyler's upstairs in his room." she said, pointing the way to his bedroom. I walked up to his room, and knocked on the door. He opened it, andhe looked really upset. 
"Hey." I said. 
"Hi." he said, opening his door so I could walk in. 
"Why did you leave so early? I went to ask you to dance, but you were gone." I said. 
"You looked pretty happy dancing with Matt and Luke all night." he said, obviously jealous. 
"I told you, Matt needs a friend right now. And it was one dance with Luke, which I left early to find you." I told him. 
"IThat's not my business." he said. 
"But it is! You're obviously upset over this, and I have no idea why!" I said, growing frustrated. He didn't respond, but he walked over to me an put his arms around my waist. He pulled me close, and kissed my lips. It felt like fireworks were exploding in my stomach. 
"That's why." said Tyler. 
"I really, really like you Kourtney."

Chapter 4
"Would you like to be my date to the homecoming dance?" he asked. 
"Tyler, I really would like to, but Matt already asked me." I said, feelig guilty. 
"Oh, that's cool. I didn't know you were into him." he said, trying to shake off my rejection like it was no big deal. 
"I'm not into him. He's my best friend, and he's going through a tough time right now. He really needs me, so we decided to go as friends." I explained. 
'So you don't mind if I go with someone else as friends?" he asked, and I felt jealous. 
"No, of course not." I lied. The rest of the car ride was silent and awkward, but I hoped we could put that past us and have fun hanging out this afternoon. 
We walked into his house, and his mother was in the kitchen, making some kind of casserole. 
"Hi kids! How was school?" she asked, as if we were life-long friends. 
"Good." answered Tyler. 
"This is my friend Kourtney. We're gonna hang out this afternoon." he said, introducing me to his mother. 
"Hi Kourtney, I'm Lisa. Let me know if there's anything I can get you." she said, with a smile. We walked to his back porch, and his backyard was huge. He had a swimming pool, a volleyball court, and a beautiful patio. 
'Wow, this is amazing." I said, admiring it. 
"Thanks. My dad's an architect. He built this house." he said, and the whole time I was thinking that this house should be on MTV cribs. 
'It's beautiful." I said, still in awe. 
We spent the afternoon goofing off, playing volleyball, badmitton, and air hockey. 
"You wanna go for a swim?" he asked me. 
"Yeah, it's so hot out." I replied, digging through my backpack for my swim team suit. 
Tyler went up to his room to change, and I used the bathroom to change. When I walked back out into his backyard, he was rubbing suntan lotion on his back. He turned around, and I had to admit, that guy kept himself in shape. 
"Sunblock?" he asked, offering me the bottle. 
'Can you get my back?" I asked, feeling flirty. He put his hand on the small of my back and kept it there for a second. I got butterflies, and I knew I was falling hard for Tyler. 
The next day was the homecoming game. Nick, Matt and I all went to watch it together. It took forever, but when it finally ended, my school had won 35-28. Everybody was in a good mood, which meant that the dance was going to be a lot of fun tonight. 
"Okay, so I'll be over to pick you up in about an hour." said Matt, who went back to his house to get ready after the game. I walked up to Tyler to congratulate him. 
'Great game!" I said, smiling when I saw him. 
"Thanks babe." he said, giving me a hug, even though he was all sweaty. I didn't mind. Wait, did he just call me babe? Could he get any cuter? 
"I have to go, but I guess I'll see you later tonight?" I asked, and he shook his head yes, and told me to save him a dance. I was about to say goodbye when Mandy walked up and asked him what time he was going to pick her up. 
"Let's just meet up here." he said, looking annoyed. 
"Oh. Okay. Well I can't wait baby!" she said, giving him a peck on the cheek. He wiped it off when she walked away and turned back to me. 
"You're going with Mandy, huh?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. 
"You said you didn't care if I went with a friend." he said. 
"I don't. I gotta go, see you later." I told him, walking to Nick's car. 
When I got home, I went straight up to my room to find a dress to wear. 
I found the cream colored dress that I wore to my aunt's wedding. It was a solid cream colored bottom, and the top had gold sequins. I put it on, and it looked perfect against my tan skin. I slipped into my gold heels, and walked over to my jewelry box. My fingers glided over the gold locket that lay in there, uncertain as to whether or not I should wear it. 
"It would go great with the dress." said Nick. I got tears in my eyes when he said that, and a sad smile on my face. 
"Mom would want you to." he said, coming over to give me a hug. 
"I miss her." I said. 
"I know sweetie. I do too. But tonight's your night. And Matt's downstairs waiting for you." he said, helping me fasten the locket around my neck. I walked downstairs and Nick took pictures of Matt and I. It was awkward, and I knew Matt thought it was weird too, because his hands were tense around my waist. 
"That was awkward." I said, once we were in his car and on our way to the school. 
"Tell me about it." he said, laughing. 
When we got to the school, Matt came around to my door and opened it for me. 
"Aw, how sweet." I said, laughing. When he gave me his hand, I used it to get out of the car, and I saw Tyler staring at me, his jaw literally wide open. Matt and I walked in to the gymnasium, and he went over to talk to a few friends. 
"Hey you." he said, his eyes twinkling in the light. 
"Hi." I said, smiling. 
"You look beautiful." he said, which only made me blush harder.
