My Fake Lover

….

“Do you see Courtney anywhere?” Emily asked and I shook my head in response.

“Maybe she didn’t come?” I mentioned.

“Don’t be silly, she always comes to cheer for Tyler.” Emily said as she scanned the crowd for a familiar blonde head. “I can’t believe your both in love with him.” She shook her head in fake disapproval. She tried to keep a serious face but it wasn’t working. A smirk was fighting it’s way on her face.

“Stop saying that I like him. You’ve been saying that the whole drive here.”

“Ssh. The games starting.” Emily said as the players came running out.

I looked for Tyler – I don’t know why but I did. When I spotted him in his red uniform, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He looked gorgeous in it.

“Looking at Tyler?” Emily smirked.

“No!” I said a bit too quickly.

“Uh huh. Sure.” Emily smiled.

“I’m not!” I cried.

“Denial!” She sang.

I rolled my eyes and started to ignore her. She’s just teasing me.

I turned my head and started to watch what going on the field until someone came by us and told the person already sitting there to move.

I looked that way and saw Brooke.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Emily said in a disgusted face as Brooke sat next to her.

“Just finding a seat.” She put on her bitch face.

“By pushing away others from there seat?” I glared at her.

“Oh, Lexi,” she shook her head disapprovingly, “please don’t speak, you voice is killing me.”

“Good, keep talking Lexi.” Emily said.

“Is that supposed to offend me?” I asked Brooke, ignoring Emily’s comment. “Cause the only thing offending me is your face.”

Emily laughed and Brooke looked like she’s trying to kill me with her glare. I swear, there was steam coming out of her ears.

“You think your so clever. You think everyone likes you, don’t you?” She said, moving dangerously close to me.

I shook my head. “No I-”

“But guess what? Jeremy never liked you.” She said. “Jermey always liked Courtney. He just played with you. He was cheating on you. He only fake dated me to make sure you don’t find out anything. He broke up with you for Courtney but he wanted you back when he found out Courtney likes Tyler. She only used Jeremy to sleep with him.”

I shook my head in disbelief. “You lying, I know you are. Courtney would never-”

“What do you think the big secret is that Jeremy was hiding from you. Why do you think Tyler doesn’t want Courtney. That’s why he had that big fight during his gym class with Jeremy.” Brooke spat out at me like garbage. “Courtney hates you”…

Tears rolled down my cheek. It all makes sense.

Brooke walked away with a smug smile on her face and when she did, Emily immediately grabbed me into a hug. I began crying, thankfully everyone was to caught up in the soccer game. Standing up and cheering loud enough.

“She’s only trying to make you upset.” Emily tried to cheer me up.

“No.” I shook with my head and got out of the hug. “It makes sense. It all makes sense.” I said shakily. Courtney was my best friend since the second grade. How can she do something like that?

Now I know what Tyler was talking about the other day at the mall parking lot.

-Flashback-

“Looks like she hates you too.” He smiled teasingly.

I glared at him. He shouldn’t have said that. Emily does not hate me. I know he left me for god knows what reason but Emily wouldn’t. I know her.

‘You knew Tyler too.’ A voice said in my head.

‘Shut up.’ I told myself. Tyler and I used to be friends then he started hating me. Emily wouldn’t do that. She’s different.

“Just because you left out friendship, it doesn’t mean Emily would do the same.” I glared at him, staring straight into those sparking green eyes.

“Oh, but I wasn’t talking about me.” He said and walked away towards his car.

Then who was he talking about? Who hates me?

“Wait?!” I run after him. “Who are you talking about?” I asked pushing him around to face me by his shoulders.

“I tried to tell you but you told me that you didn’t care what I needed to say. So I didn’t tell you.” He shrugged. “When I went into your gym class. Remember, or did I hit you in the head too hard?”

-End Of Flashback-

••••••••••

When the game was over, I waited for Tyler by the boy locker rooms after Emily left to she care of her baby cousin.

Our team won by twelve points but I was too upset to actually watch the game. I only knew from Emily.

Emily was mad too, she kept saying how she’s going to hurt Courtney. I guess Courtney deserves to get hurt because she hurt me, but Emily doesn’t deserve to get punished for hurting her. So I told her to leave it alone. I said that we’re going to pretend that it never happen and just ignore her. I’m glad I have Emily as a friend, or I’ll have no one left as a one.

When Tyler got out, he was wiping his wet hair with a white towel, and I got to watch him do it it awe because I was far enough for him but to see me. I watched him until I saw a girl come up to him and flirted with him.

I’m still in shock about what Courtney did, but I could help but feel a pang of jealously hit my chest.

I decided to walk away before Tyler caught me staring at him.

I walked to his car since I had no one else to drive me home. So I was just going to wait for him.

After a while of waiting I got tiered so I lay on his hood, looking up at the orange and yellow sky. It’s getting dark out and the sky is starting to get really pretty.

“Need a lift?” A female voice said, and I know that voice. I’ve know that voice for ten and a half years.

I looked at her, not even knowing what to say to her. I can’t even talk to her the same way any more. I felt like crying all over again when I saw her face. How can someone be so pretty in the outside, be so cruel in the inside? I hate her, I hate her so much.

I couldn’t help but just stare at Courtney. She was sleeping with my boyfriend all this time I was dating him. It made me sick. I felt like pulling her hair and slamming her hard against the car door, because she was my best friend. She’s actually a slit who was in love with a guy but still slept with her best friends boyfriend. She ever even liked him.

“No.” I finally said.

Courtney didn’t say anything. She looked mad for some reason. “Well, se you at school.” She said and left.

She probably didn’t want me riding with Tyler. And I can’t believe I was trying to set her up with Tyler, even though I like him myself.

“Shit!” I whisper-yelled and slammed my hand to my mouth even though I didn’t even say it out loud.

I like Tyler?Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Oh god, I think I like Tyler. It makes sense. I enjoy being with him, he makes me happy, I like his smile and his looks. I’m practically with him everyday, he makes me smile, even when I’m mad. I just like him. He’s perfect.

More tears began sliding down my face. I used to like him when we were younger, but he never liked me. And he still will never like someone like me as more than a friend.

My life is just screwed.

I sat down on the parking lot floor with my back leaning against Tyler’s car. I can’t even stay here. He will see right through me and know that I have feelings for him. I’m just going to keep acting like an idiot in front of him. If he ever finds out, I’m going to get so embarrassed because he doesn’t like me back.

I don’t want to be his fake girlfriend, I want to be his real girlfriend. As crazy as it sounds. I guess that’s why I didn’t even get out of the fake relationship, because it was fun.

I stood up and walked away from his car before he came. I’m going go walk home and I don’t care how long it’s going to take or how cold it is.

“Hey, where are you going?!” Shit. My plan is to late.

“Uh, I’m-”

Come one Lexi, you can do it! You’ve talked to him so much times and your going to chicken out now?

“I’m just, uh-”

Nope. I couldn’t speak. Not when I actually like him.

Oh god…

Tyler looked at me in confusion. I knew I was going too act like a total idiot in front of him now.

“I have to go, and not with you.” I said and walked away quickly.
