You're probably wondering why I was so freaked out about it. Yeah its crazy when your crush sits next to you but what's crazy is the fact that I was going to do something really stupid before I leave.
Every time I'm any where around Tyler I tend to do something stupid that gets him into trouble. I mean it. I wonder how he doesn't even recognize me as a must - stay - away - from - that - unfortunate - accident - bringing - girl.
'This is bad' I thought to myself as I stared at my sundae. I had to leave immediately before something stupid happens again.
"Wow I just love the air in here" Max said and Joe raised his brow
"The last time I checked we're all breathing the same air"
"That's where you're wrong Joe. This air is magical".
This guy thinks like Erica' I thought as I saw Joe Shook his head.
"You guys just don't get it"
"That's expected, only one with a squashed up brain like you can get it" Joe said
I actually second that.
"That's not true"
"It is"
"Do you think so too Alex?"
"Huh?" I was taken aback cause I wasn't expecting to be included in the conversation.
"What do you think about it?"
I didn't know if I should tell him I hated it or lie that it was awesome. I didn't think I had the spirit to give it a fake complement and I didn't want to ruin his love for it. While staring at him, I took another spoon of sundae and then gave a shrug.
It was all I could think of.
"Whatever".
Erica sure was taking her lovely time. I couldn't stay there any longer, I was beginning to feel restless and thanks to that I had ended up with an empty glass of sundae. Tyler's cologne was killing my heart. I thought I wouldn't last because it was too much heaven in a day.
Tyler's favorite is strawberry. How I know that is a secret...I'm not a stalker. sometimes I just try to find out this and that about him, that's all.
No really. I'm not a stalker. I just know his birthday, his practice time, his school study table, his favorite color and things, his type of cologne and hobbies. His likes and dislikes.
That's all.
Tyler's phone rang out.
"I'll be back. Its my mom" he said and with that he stood up and made his way out. I couldn't help but to stare. When he was out of sight, I let out a low relieved but disappointed sigh. The sweet smell was gone.
"So you and Erica are best friends" Max said and I looked at him "That's nice. but you two don't seem to have anything in common". Max said.
Thanks for stating the obvious.
"You know" he continued " I and Tyler have been best buds since we were kids but we also don't have much in common" he said with a smile. Then I realized I had been offended for nothing.
"When Tyler was little and I found out he liked strawberries, I would tease him about it and he would start crying. He was such a cry baby. He cried for almost anything"
I wondered where all this was coming from all of a sudden, I always avoided making conversation with other people, but he was talking about Tyler... I mean hello, I'm all ears.
"There was a time we went to the pool and I pretended to drown. He jumped in without thinking and ended up drowning himself"
"Why?" I found myself ask.
Its Tyler we're talking about, of course I'm curious.
"He couldn't swim" Max said with a serious face then he burst into laughter.
"Oh. T- that's pretty heroic" I said and found myself trying not to grin about it. Okay, that is pretty funny, but I couldn't help but to like him even more.
I wanted to hear more about Tyler when he was a kid but at the same time I wondered if Max should be saying the stuffs he was saying. From Joe's expression he was thinking the same but Max went on.
"Tyler is so easy to prank. There was this one time when he was eight, I had told him that if he would put a dollar every week in his top drawer for a year, at the end of the year he would get his biggest wish"
"That's an obvious lie" I said and Joe chip in.
"Yeah. Who would fall for that?"
"Tyler did. I told you he was so easy to trick. Every week I would take the money he left in there" Max continued to talk but then as I was loosing the strength of forcing myself not to laugh, the urge flew away immediately i realized who was standing behind Max.
Max didn't seem to have realized, I tried using my eyes or my expression. it was useless. He was in a world of his own. I looked at Joe and gave him the behind-you look. He looked back and his mouth fell open.
Max was still In a world of his own as he kept on talking.
"Max" Joe nudged him and said through his gritted teeth "I think you should stop talking now"
"What? Oh don't worry, Tyler doesn't know till now that I was the one who took all his money"
'How dense is this guy' I thought.
"No really I think you should stop talking now" Joe said and gave him the eyes too but Max was too much of a lost case.
Joe sighed and gave up.
"You should have seen his face after he didn't get what he wanted. He looked so angry" Max said as he laughed.
"You mean this kind of face" Joe pointed behind him.
Max turned to Tyler "yeah that kind of face. Man, it brings back a lot if memo...oh Tyler!" He flinched
'Took you long enough' I thought.
"Aren't you so chatty today?" Tyler said. Honestly, I had never seen him annoyed before. He looked so cute.
"Did you hear that?" Max said and gave an uneasy smile.
Tyler sighed and came back to seat next to me again. I saw Max give Joe a
Dude-why-didn't-you-tell-me look and Joe gave him the I-tried-to-stop-you look.
Wait, Tyler is back beside me!. I had totally forgotten about my nerves while Max was talking but now that Tyler was back...wait, what am I freaking out about. I haven't done anything stupid so far, everything was just fine.
For a second I thought I saw movement from the corner of my eyes but when I turned to look at Tyler, he was looking away. Maybe I made a mistake.
Just then I saw Erica heading back with two bags of cookies.
Thank you lord!
"Sorry I took so long".
"That's okay. Let's go" I jumped up with the thought of just getting out of there as fast as I could. I turned to leave and just then I heard a loud gasp followed by a crash.
'Huh?'
I turned back and saw Tyler covered in sundae from his head. I gasped as I realized I had hit the waiter passing.
Erica stared back at me in shock and I could read it in her eyes.
I totally messed up- again.
Now I knew I had a problem.
