Contentment didn't last long, soon class was over and Tyler and I parted ways. Much to my disappointment we only had a handful of classes together this semester. To be specific, we had three classes together.
On the other hand, me and Donovan had almost all our classes together, I wonder how he pulled that off. I trudged toward the chemistry lab and took my usual seat next to Donovan. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, but I loved Tyler even more.
"Hey babe," I said. I set my books down and went to grab a pair of goggles for each of us.
Don't even think about calling me a two-faced sl.ut or w.ho.re or anything along those lines. Because I love them both I can't break Donovan's heart by breaking up with him, and I can't date Tyler while I'm with Donovan. I love them both, but not in the same way.
I love Donovan like a brother, but I love Tyler like THAT. And the suckish thing is that I can't do anything about it.
I sighed and went back to my seat, where Donovan was talking to Haley. Truth is I hated Haley. She was a, pardon my french, royal bi.tch with a big mouth. Which brings us back to, I hate her.
"KAYLA!" She squealed, "how was your summer? We haven't talked in FOREVER," she said, dragging out the last word, "I was just talking to Donovan about helping me with some moves after school today, is that okay? You could come if you want to."
"No thanks, I'll pass." I said, handing Donovan a pair of goggles. Then seeing he already had one I asked him about it.
"Oh, Haley got them for me." He said, like it was the most normal thing in the world. I really didn't like the way this chick was messing with my boyfriend.
"Oh, okay then." I said with a smile as I went to put the goggles back up. I turned to look at Haley and she sneered at me from her desk. I smirked and flipped her off inconspicuously. Chemistry was going to be fun.
After school I ran to catch a ride with Tyler before he left after practice. I had stayed after school for driving lessons. What a disaster.
"Hey Kay!" Yelled Tyler from his car.
"Hey, can I get a ride?" He looked into the truck as if debating whether I would fit or not.
"Welllll....." he said, "You might have to ride in the bed with Donovan..."
I slapped him on the arm and he laughed. "You know I'd never have se.x at 16, remember, my rule is 18 and older, just like the law on drinking." I shrugged.
He smiled. "I thought drinking was 21."
I looked around slowly as if checking to be watched. "Shhhh.... they don't know that." We both burst out in laughter. I missed this. The closeness of our thoughts, the long laughs we were sure to have when together. I sighed and the laughter stopped.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I looked at Tyler, fighting in my mind to tell him or not.
"Even since I started dating Donovan we haven't really hung out like we used to." I said, climbing into the truck. I even loved his truck. It smelled like his cologne mixed with greasy fast food and his aftershave.
Tyler climbed in the drivers seat and tossed our bags in the back seat. He sighed too then said, "Coach is going to kill me, but how about tonight, like old times." He smiled and started the truck.
"Sleepover?" I asked, smiling in return. He nodded.
"Be at my house at six and we'll eat and watch movies in the tree house like we used to." I laughed at the memories.
"Do you think we'll still fit?" I asked, laughing at that thought too.
He feigned shock. "Are you calling me FAT!" I had to laugh as he almost drove into a ditch.
"No, me, I'm calling myself a fattie. It was all those oreo's you fed me in middle school." He laughed and tried to look inoccent.
"Oh right, they went straight to your as.s..."
I laughed. "You were staring again weren't you?" I asked, acting like I was going to admonish him. His sheepish grin told all. "I was joking but I can see now you have been."
He laughed. "It's hard not to when your flaunting it up and down the hallways at school."
"Well that explains the grabbing then." I joked. His eyes widened. "I'm kidding. But can we stop at Donovans really quickly, I need to pick up my ipod."
He agreed and we headed to Donovans.
Ding Dong! His doorbell chime was as familiar as my own. After a minute or two of waiting I opened the front door and headed up to his room to get my ipod. I located it on his dresser and headed back down the stairs.
I heard a giggle from the kitchen and poked my head in. "Wow, your a REALLY great kisser Donovan." Haley. I laughed out loud.
"I could have told you that," I said, stepping in, "but now it looks like I don't have to." Turning on my heal I heard two suprised gasps and would love to have seen the looks on their faces. I walked out of his house knowing I was free, and that I didn't have to do anything to buy my freedom. He made his choice and I was unleashed. For the second time today I was happy.
