Chapter 6
Monday has passed by, Selena and Tyler were walking together after 2nd period. Tyler obviously dropping her off to her homeroom which was on the opposite side of their last class.
“Selena, I was wondering if you wanted to go out next Monday for spring break?”
She just goes quiet. “I guess” mumbling quietly that only the other person could hear.
”maybe the fair?” Tyler turnt to look at her. “It would be fun, right?” Smiling at her like there’s nothing else in the world that could make him even happier.
“Tyler..”
She holds his hand. Deciding to let him down gently. “Tyler, I don’t think this is going to work.” Searching his eyes to hope that it’s a mutual agreement.
Tyler’s eyes go wide by the words that are spilling out of her mouth. Daggers that are piercing right through him. “Wha-what do you mean? ‘This isn’t going to work’? What’s wrong with our relationship..?”
”its just…” she bites her lips, chewing on them. Not knowing how she’s going to say this.
”Just tell me, Selena! I deserve to know” he pleaded. His eyes slowly watered, lips began to quiver but not too noticeable. The floor seemed to sway under his feet.
”I don’t really find you appealing and I find you way too clingy..” letting out a breath she didn’t even know she had. “I mean your just not the guy I’m looking for.” Selena let go of his hand and made a distance between them.
”What do you mean not the guy you’re looking for.” Saying the last part with air quotes.”You told me you loved me for who I was and didn’t care how I was.” Starting to get louder. The People around them were starting to notice what was going on.
”I thought you were..” her lips slowly turning red. “It’s just the more we were together, the more I realized you just weren’t the guy I would love to be around.”
“When was this..? When did you start feeling this way?” His focus leaves Selena’s eyes and goes towards the people around them.
Everybody is looking..
”Just a couple days into our relationship” she looks away as soon as she spoke her mind. Tyler just looks at her.
”Then what the actual fuck was the point in asking me to be with you?” Snapping at her. His eyebrows slowly furrowing as he’s blinded by anger. “We were literally friends? You should have knowing before messing around.”
“Well sorry, for not knowing how you would be in a relationship!” Voice getting louder through out. “This is why we should have never even gotten together.”
”Maybe you’re right. You haven’t even been trying to love me for one second!” Tyler’s fist closed. His muscles were tensed, jaws clenched. Selena just looked at him and gave him the same anger that she received.
Before letting Selena talk again he walked away. Not even looking back. Not one glance.
It was finally time for 4th period.
Tyler decided to sit next to Liam and his girlfriend. Since it was like that since last Friday.
Liam just looked at him up and down. Confused, he asked, “What are you sitting down here for? Your girlfriend is right over there.” His gaze goes to Tyler to Selena.
Delilah softly nudges Liam. “Didn’t you hear. They broke up! Like today!” With a hurried hushed whisper.
Liam eyes widen slightly but just simply nodded. “Why did you guys break up? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”
Tyler just looked at him softly. “It’s fine. She just said I wasn’t the guy she wanted. I mean what was the point? She got to know me since we were friends.” He complained to the two of them.
Delilah starts talking, “Well maybe she wanted to be with you but not the way she thought she wanted to be.” Giving him a pitiful smile.
“What do you mean?”
”Selena liked you as a friend but not as a boyfriend. You guys aren’t meant for each other romantically. But you guys could be friends.”
“Oh.”
Tyler is too embarrassed to look at them. Especially Liam. “I guess that does make sense.”
Delilah and Liam look at each other to make a mutual agreement. To try and make Tyler feel better after the break up.
”Not trying to be rude but that was the most quickest relationship I have ever seen.” Liam said.
”That was very hurtful!” Sighing dramatically. He leans into his stool forgetting they weren’t at their normal class. He falls hard onto the ground.
“Oh my gosh, Tyler!” She soon laughs loud that almost everybody in the class can hear. Liam joins in.
He quickly turns red and gets up with the support of the table. Looking over at Selena’s table. Thankfully, She didn’t look over, but her friends did.
“Gee guys! Thanks a lot for that.” He rolls his eyes. “Thanks Liam and Delilah for helping me get up. What would I do without you.” Sarcasm dripping from his voice.
”You’re welcome. I would like a bag of chips as a token for your appreciation.” Liam’s face is covered with a grin. Tyler just smiled.
“Well you would have to earn that instead of just seeing me fall.” Giving him a warm smile. Completely forgetting his girlfriend was there and the fact he just got broken up with.
“Oh really?”
”Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy.” Tyler’s just sitting there smiling like a dork.
”No but actually. How do I get a bag of chips.” Liam straightens up his posture to look more professional. Closing his hands together and raising it to use as to support for his chin.
”I don’t know, perhaps a please and for you to do something.”
”Hmm depends on the thing. But I don’t really care what it is. So yeah.” Liam smiles. “So how do you want me to do this whole thing like just a simple please or..?”
The conversation keeps going and going but with Delilah..
Delilah just looks at Tyler and back at Liam. Slightly frowning. How could they forget to include her? Especially Liam. He’s her boyfriend not his!
She just stares into space. Clearly not wanting to interrupt or ruin the conversation. She puts on her AirPods and continues on staring into space and listening into their conversation.
