EPISODE 36
DECEPTION
……………….
I was walking throu-gh the parking lot at school the next day when I heard someone called my name. I turned around to see Logan walking towards me.
“Can I talk to you for a bit?” He asked when he stood in front of me. I nodded my head and indicated for him to say what he’s got to say. “I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.”
I sighed. “Logan, you’ve told me this alre-ady. We’ve been throu-gh this and I’m tired.” I interjected.
“No, I mean I’m sorry to be coming at you and forcing us to get back together.” He clarified. I stared at him, shock by his apology. “I’ve listened to what you said the last time we spoke and you’re absolutely right.”
“Really?” I was really surprised about this sudden change.
He nodded. “Yes. I wasn’t being fair to you by forcing what could never be.”
“You’re right, you weren’t.” I agreed.
He winced at my words. “I know and I’m really sorry about that. You deserve better.”
I was watching him closely wondering if he was messing with me, but I didn’t hear any humour behind his words. “Okay.” I said because I didn’t know what else to say.
He stood there for a while before he said. “Just so you know I really didn’t mean for any of this to happen.”
I nodded my head. “Yeah, but it did because we weren’t meant for each other. You know it and I know it.”
“I know that now. I wish things were different, but I’ll have to learn how to accept it.” He replied admittedly. “I also will just have to come to terms that you may have found that with someone else.”
“Yeah.” I said nodding my head. “Can I ask why the sudden change?”
“After what you said to me, I did some thinking. I also couldn’t stand the idea of you hating me.” He confessed.
“I don’t hate you. I don’t like what you’ve done but I don’t hate you.” I admitted truthfully.
“Yeah, I’m sorry about all that.” He repeated his apology.
I shrugged my shoulders. “What’s done is done. We can’t change it, but we can move on from it. I have and you should too.” Logan just nodded his head. “Well, I have to go now.”
He stuffed his hands in his p@n-ts pockets. “Of course. Bye Emily.”
“Goodbye Logan.” I said as I turned and walked away from him.

After I finished all my as-signments that evening, I left my house deciding to take a walk to the nearby park. I just wanted to be alone for a while to think about things.
I walked around the park for about fifteen minutes when I decided to take a seat on a park bench. I sat there for a while watching the people at the park. I wasn’t thinking about anything at the current moment. It just felt good to watch the scenery and clear my head.
“Hello.” I heard a voice say behind me after I was sitting there for five minutes. I turned around to see who the voice belonged to.
My eyes wi-den in surprise as I saw Andrea. She stood with a smile on her face that didn’t seem friendly at all. In fact it looked f0rç£d.
“Hello.” I said hesitantly, not sure why she was talking to me.
She walked around the bench and c@m£ and stood in front of me. “Emily right?” She asked and I nodded my head.
“I know Tyler must have told you about me. We used to d@t£.” She related. I didn’t know why she was telling me this. I looked at her not say anything, so she continued. “I’m just giving you a heads up, don’t get too comfortable.”
“What?” I asked, confused as to what she was talking about.
She crossed her arms and gave me a pointed look. “I said don’t get too comfortable being with Tyler. It’s not going to last.”
She didn’t know that Tyler and I were fake d@t!ngand she also didn’t know that we ended it. However, I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of telling her that, so I decided to just go along with it. “Why would you say that?”
She gave a short laugh that I thought to be condescending. “Tyler and I are end game. We’re meant for each other. I just wanted you to know that it will only be a matter of time, before he leaves you.”
Who did this girl think she was? She was so full of herself, that was for sure.
Well, I wasn’t going to let her get the better of me, so I stood up from the bench. “I wish I could stay here and indulge in this pointless conversation with you, but I have to be going. Also, I don’t have to sit here and listen to you.”
Ignoring what I said, Andrea just smiled sweetly. “plea-se don’t embarras-s yourself. Tyler doesn’t want you and I can see why. Just look at you.” As she said that she looked at me from head to toe with a snicker on herl-ips. “I don’t know what sick game he is pla-ying by d@t!ngyou, because honestly you’re not his type. He told me himself that he’s going to end it with you so that we could be together again.”
I froze at her words. So Tyler was definitely going to end our fake d@t!ngbefore I did. I know he had all right to end it, but it still hurt like hell knowing that.
However, I wasn’t going to stay here and let her talk to me this way.
“This conversation is over.” I replied as I turned and walked away, without saying anything else to her.
As I turn around, I caught sight of her watching me with a victorious smile on her face.
Episode 37
ACCEPTING FEELINGS
Tyler’s POV
After school on Wednesday, Seth and I drove into town where Seth picked up a few things. We also st©pped at his uncle’s antique shop for a small visit, but ended up being there for longer.
On our way back, we decided to drive to a place where we usually hang out. It was an old abandoned pla-yground that was a fifteen minutes drive from our school.
We would normally come here to hang out before going home. It has been a while since we st©pped here so we decided to do so today.
Today wasn’t any different than the other days we st©p here. We were here for almost an hour now just chilling and talking about nothing in p@rticular; just random t©pics.
Seth was settled on t©p of a bench with his feet on the sitting area and I sat a few feet in front of him on a tree stomp with my back leaning on a tree.
Most of the time we were talking however, I was a little distracted. I couldn’t help it. No matter how ha-rd I tried, I couldn’t st©p thinking about how things turned out with Emily and I.
I knew that our fake d@t!nghad to come to an end, but de-ep down I wish it didn’t. Even though I didn’t want to admit it, I miss her.
Trying my best not to think about it anymore, I took out my phone from my pocket and began to scroll throu-gh my news feed on Instagram.
“Are you texting Emily?” Seth asked. Looking up from my phone, I looked at him. He was no longer in a sitting position. He was laying on his back on the bench t©p with his hand being his head.
He wasn’t looking at me though. He was staring up at the sky.
I shook my head. “No, I’m not. Why would you think that?” I asked.
He didn’t answer me. In fact, he fell into silence. Shaking my head, I went back to my phone.
“Dude, you are so stupid.” Seth said suddenly.
I gave him a confused look.
“What are you talking about Seth?”
“I’m talking about Emily. It’s obvious even to a blind person that you like her.” Seth replied.
I shake my head adamantly. “No, I don’t.” I denied.
Seth sat up in a sitting position on the bench once again and faced me.
He cut me off before I could even say anything else. “Oh yes you do. You can’t fool me. You’re just too damn coward to even admit it to yourself.”
“There is nothing to admit. Emily and I had a deal and now it’s over.” I said. “There is nothing more to it.”
“It was more than that man and you know it.” Seth countered pointing an accusing f!nger at me.
I opened my mouth to contradict him, but closed it instantly. I really didn’t have anything to say, because he was right. He was right about everything. I nee-d to st©p denying it.
I’ve always known because of all these feelings I’d have whenever I was around her or thinking about her. I knew that she had gotten to me more that any girl ever had before. Even hearing her name puts a smile on my face.
I admit, I was ignoring my feelings and pushing it aside because I didn’t know how to handle it. I’ve never felt this way before about a girl and honestly, it scared me.
Seeing her in school these past three days, I had to st©p myself every time from walking over to her. I couldn’t explain my reasons for wanting to do that.
All I know is that I wanted to be close to her. I wanted to be with her. I wanted to just talk to her.
There was so many times that I couldn’t st©p myself from staring at her.
Sometimes, she would look around at me and other times, I prayed that she would just look around and smiled at me.
I would do anything just to see her smile. She didn’t though, because those times she didn’t even know I was watching her.
I know it sounds creepy, but I couldn’t help myself. I miss being with her a lot and now I knew why. Well, I knew why a long time ago. I was just ignoring it, so I wouldn’t have to deal with it.
However, now I knew that I couldn’t hide my feelings anymore. I didn’t want to.
I like her. I like her a lot. Hell, what I felt for her was more than that and I wanted desperately to share them with her.
As this realization hit me, a smile appeared on my face. I looked up at Seth and he was alre-ady looking at me with a knowing grin.
“So what are you still doing here?” He asked pointing his hands in the direction of the street where my car was parked. “Go get your girl.”
I shook my head at him and smiled before I turned and walked away in the direction of my car.
++++++
When I pu-ll-ed up in the driveway of my house, I saw someone sitting on the front steps waiting for me.
When I parked my car and got out, I saw that the person was Andrea. She stood up and walked towards me when I closed the car door.
“Hi Tyler.” She said with a smile.
“What are you doing here, Andrea?” I asked without preamble. I just wished that she’d leave me alone. I didn’t want to deal with her right now.
“You don’t have to be so hostile. What happened? We used to be so close.”
“You really want me to answer that?” I challenged losing my patience with her.
She c@m£ closer to me and placed her hands on my shoulder. “I just wanted you to know that you don’t have to worry about your little girlfriend anymore. You’re free to come back to me now.”
I instantly pushed her hand from me and stepped back. “What? What are you talking about Andrea?” I narrowed my eyes at her. “What did you say to her?”
She shrugged as if it didn’t matter. “I didn’t say much. I just told her the truth.” She replied in a casual tone.
I shook my head as I tried to control my anger. “What is wrong with you? Why would you do something like that?”
“Nothing is not wrong with me, Tyler. You’re the one ma-king a big mistake. I un-derstand though. You were confused. I was just helping you out.
I did you a favour. Now you don’t have anything holding you back.” She said, then smiled once again. “Now you should get over whatever it was that you had with her and come back to me.”
I stood there looking at her and it was like I was seeing her for the first time. Seeing who she really was. “You know what you are?” I asked in a ha-rd tone. “You are a manipulative, cold hearted person and I don’t want any to do with you.”
She flin-ched at my words, before saying, “Tyler, you don’t mean that.”
“I mean every word. plea-se do me a favour and don’t go near me or Emily ever again.” I didn’t want to say anything else to her. I was done with her. Honestly, I don’t know what I had seen in her in the first place.
Also, I wasn’t angry at what she did two years ago. No, I was pas-sed that. I was angry because she was here now and trying to interfere in my life.
“plea-se leave.” I demanded. I didn’t want to hear anything else from her. I didn’t even want to look at her right now. “plea-se leave. Now.”
“Tyler, you don’t-” She began.
“Leave now, Andrea and I don’t want to ever see you again.”
Andrea stood there, looking at me for a long time, before she turned and stormed away.
Finally getting her out of my life for good, I turned my attention to Emily’s house. All light were off except her room light.
I checked my watch and saw that it was after seven o’ clock. I didn’t want to disturb her parents by knocking on the door and asking to speak to her. I couldn’t do that.
I smiled as I thought about seeing her again. I haven’t seen much of her in school. I don’t know why but I felt like she was avoiding me and that was killing me inside.
I nee-ded to see her tonight and tell her everything. I couldn’t wait until tomorrow. I also couldn’t text her or call her because I nee-ded to do this face to face.
Just then a smile formed on myl-ips as an idea popped into my head.
