Hey guys, I'm so sorry about the long wait, I've been SO busy lately!

 

One Secret Too Many #7

 

Lexi

        I just sat in my seat for a couple seconds, shocked. Why did he just completely shut me down? Did I do something wrong? It seemed like he was so into me the first time we talked. I didn't have time to sit and think about it for too long, because the first class was about to start. Lucky for me, my class is close to my homeroom so I made it there on time.
        The day seemed to drag on, and it seemed like days until it was time for lunch. I found Molly and Aidan and sat down with them and a couple other people. I looked around the lunch room for Tyler, I really wanted to talk to him.
        After about 10 minutes of searching I gave up, he was probably just in the other lunch, because there's two at my school. I met eyes with Molly, and she looked at me questioningly, was the disappointment that clear on my face? I switched it to a smile and shook my head to let her know that nothing was wrong. She obviously didn't believe me, she's my best friend and can tell when I'm upset.
        Lunch ended 20 minutes later, and I tried to run away to escape the questioning I knew I'd be getting from Molly, but I wasn't quick enough. She pulled me aside into an empty hallway and just stared at me.
        "What?" I said defensively.
        "What's wrong, Lex? I know you were looking for someone at lunch and then you looked really upset. Who was it?" 
        I considered making up some story about how I was checking out some guy but then decided that she's my best friend and deserves to know the truth. Besides, she'd probably figure it out eventually anyway.
        "Okay, well when I was shopping with my family a couple days ago, I met this guy, named Tyler. He's new here this year, and I thou-"
        "Wait, Tyler Gilbert?" Molly interrupted me.
        "Yeah, have you met him yet?"
        "I have, he's in my first class of the day. He seemed kind of upset this morning. Did something happen?"
        "Well, kind of. He seemed like he was kind of into me when we met, then this morning in homeroom I tried to say hi and he wouldn't even look at me. I don't know what I did!"
        Molly looked at me sympathetically. "Oh, Lexi, I'm sure you just made him nervous because you're so pretty and he likes you so much."
        I laughed. "Nice try Molls, but that's not it. He seemed like he was mad at me."
        The warning bell rang, so we had to end our conversation. 
       "Don't worry Lex, I know you, and I know you'll work it out." She said, and with that, she walked away to her next class.
        I hope she's right.
