Destined

Confused Emma, Rockell, Nick and Tyler

Well, nothing has happened with Tyler since he friend requested me. Maybe he’s nervous too. i feel like he’s just watching me from the sidelines. I haven’t messaged him or anything. I guess you could say I’m right there on the sidelines too. Just waiting I guess.

It’s been 2 weeks now and so far school is great. I just auditioned for the Musical today, we are doing Footloose. I auditioned for Ariel and well Tyler was there and auditioned for Ren. I’d say he’s pretty amazing, very talented.

Ever since he requested me on f*******: 2 weeks ago it’s like he just went silent. He didn’t speak to me at all not even a hi since I caught him staring. And today, he did c***k a smile, gosh his smile is so handsome. His dirty blond hair and blue eyes, he almost looks like Josh Lucas in Sweet Home Alabama. I love that movie. Maybe that’s why I get butterflies. Anyways, that’s it, just a smile today when he walked into auditions. He watched me and as soon as I was done he disappeared.

Rockell auditioned too, for Rusty. I hope she gets it. She can pretty much take on any role. She’s super talented, runs in the family. Our moms are sisters and they were the same way. Both talented and can sing. Although I haven’t heard my mom sing much since my dad passed. He loved to listen to her. Every Christmas we’d have this huge party and she would sing a few songs. But anyways, after auditions Rockell and I are getting picked up by Nick and going out later. We decided to go bowling on a Friday night. I’m really excited to get out. Haven’t done much since school started and I don’t know my way yet around town.

We met up at the bowling alley and I didn’t realize Tyler would be there. As I’m sitting there putting on these hideous looking bowling shoes he walked in. It was like I could see a light shine around him like he was some god walking in the room.

Rockell was hitting me because it was so obvious my eyeball were glued to him.

Then comes Ashtyn.

Rockell-

“What the f**k is she doing here with him!?. (Rockell stands up like she’s ready to beat some a*s) I swear Emma, he does not like her, he barely ever talks to her. Don’t worry girl I’ll find out”.

Emma-

Nick looked so confused. I seen him lip mouth to Tyler “what the f**k man”.

Well my good mood just went sour. I can be a bitter b***h but I was going to act like nothing. Maybe he wanted me to message him that night. Maybe he’s playing hard to get. And I’ve been so nervous I don’t know why to say, like he left me speechless, weak in the knees. He can’t actually like her. Ugh!

I seen Nick and Tyler over at the pool table. Tyler actually looks pissed. Ashtyn walks up behind him and leans her elbow up on his shoulder and look right at me and winks. What a b***h! Tyler turn around and didn’t even acknowledge her and walks away. Nick looked at Ashtyn shakes his head. They exchange a few words. Now she looks awkward like she out of place. Then her plastic friends appear and they walk off. I am so confused! What is happening!?

It was my turn to bowl. It was just me, Rockell, Nick, this other guy named Devin, Steph and Draven. Draven is a bit weird but man he can rock out on the guitar.

Oh my god! I got a strike! We all start yelling whoo hoo and Nick lifts me up like I just won the baseball game. We all laughed so hard. And there was Tyler. He was standing there smiling right at me. I lost interest for a second that I just bowled a strike and everyone acted like I was awesome and we made eye contact. I smiled.

Once the mini celebration was over I went to get some fries. To my surprise there was a tap on my shoulder. It was Tyler. I turned around and said Hi. Gosh I sounded weird when I said it. Like a nervous c***k in my voice. My face turned red instantly like the ketchup I was about to put on my fries.

He chuckled and said “Hi I’m Tyler”and shook .. my .. hand.

I shook it back, but we both did the same staring firm grip handshake. My dad always said a firm grip handshake shows someone you’re serious. For a second I think we forgot where we were.

“Hi Tyler, I’m Emma.. finally nice to actually talk to you since I’ve seen you around the last 2 weeks”

Tyler-

“Yea, funny because I was about to say the same exact sentence. So you wanna go sit and chat? I’m gonna grab a burger quick. I’ll meet you at the table”.

Emma-

It was my turn to bowl but I didn’t care about the game right now. I could see everyone in my lane looking at me, I just hand motioned for them to go on without me. Tyler and I sat for an hour and talked. We pretty much just talked about where I was from, what I liked to do for fun and Ashtyn. I didn’t bring her up, he did.

Tyler-

Ashtyn is a piece of work, she’s had this crazy obsession with me since middle school. Last year we were at a party one of the seniors had and it got crazy. I was sitting out by the pool, not drinking alcohol, I’m not really into that, I promised my mom I would not do anything stupid, here comes drunk Ashtyn. She was all over me! She took her shirt off and tried pulling my pants off, I told her no so many times. I walked away and went home. She thinks we had s*x. She was soo drunk. I do hear that she was making out with Kevin Lechman, the quarterback of the football team. He was a senior last year, drove her home I guess, he said he banged her in his car, I wouldn’t be surprised if they f****d and she was so drunk she though it was me. I don’t know but I do not like her in any way. She’s mean and stuck up and has no morals. I’m not into that. I haven’t really been too interested in a relationship. Well not until Emma came along. I’ve never seen anyone so beautiful. She gave me this fluttery feeling inside I can’t even explain.

After my mom died I kind of went numb. I didn’t stop living but I also didn’t want to jump into relationships. One dying wish from my mom was make my future bright. Be something, be someone. And that’s what I’ve been working on.

I’m not planning for college, I feel like I can do better with a trade so I am going to enroll in training for IT after I graduate. Maybe stay local, it depends, I don’t want to move far away and leave my dad alone. So I mainly go to school then home. I hang out yes, but not every weekend do I go out with our friends.

Emma is different, we only talked for an hour but I felt like I could just sit there all night and keep talking. It was almost 10:30 and we have 11pm curfew. We wrapped up the night after that and although we didn’t give each other a hug or anything I could definitely feel the sparks fly. She is amazing.
