Falling For You

Stanford High cafeteria, New York,  USA

I bit into my green apple as I sat in the far corner of the cafeteria. My heart broke as I watched Daniel talk with other girls I didn't know. He was being a flirt right now.

I rested my head on my black sleeve as tears formed in my eyes. My apple fell from my grip then slid down my leggings to my shoes but I didn't care.

I continued to shed tears, not knowing one kiss could ruin half of my life. All I wanted was to take a bloody knife and stab it into my breast as I take another knife to shove down my throat.

I licked my lips as I began yelping and hicupping silently while sorrowing. A sharp tap came on my shoulder.

"GO AWAY!"I shrieked stubbornly as I fanned the person away from me,"I WANT TO BE ALONE!"

"I didn't mean to hurt you this way. I didn't know it will turn like this..."

I wiped my eyes with my sleeve then looked up to see Tyler who had a frown on his face. He handed me his silken handkerchief. I wiped my tears away as I looked down at my shoes.

"He's changed..."I whispered,"Because of me... he evolved into something else just because of one simple kiss..."

"Come with me..."Tyler extended his hand for me to take which I accepted willingly.

He bended down then picked up my wasted apple throwing it up and down as we walked through the double doors of the cafeteria.

"Why do you need me?"I asked, still not making any eye contact.

"I figured you can rant all you want, release your anger at me or talk to me about your problems..."

"Tyler..."I gushed then remembered,"But aren't there sport practices today? You'll be late. You are the captain after all. You might get disqualified."

"Pfft! Who cares?"Tyler lifted my chin,"You're much more important, Crystal..."

"Hmmm...Thanks..."I mumbled as I nudged him by the shoulder.

Tyler smirked as he pulled my arm and brought me to the school's garden,"So, tell me what's up,"Tyler demanded calmly as he played with the rose petals of the campus' garden."

"Daniel's still acting up over our recent problem,"I sniffed as I shook my head,"He's so overprotective. I never knew he'd act this way..."

"I'm sorry. If I didn't kiss you, none if this would have happened,"Tyler said quietly, mourning to himself.

"And I don't know how to fix things,"I sobbed on Tyler's shirt, leaving a massive puddle,"I'm worthless!"

Tyler pat my back, soothing the pain away,"Sorry,"was all he said.

"Sorry about your shirt..."I said as I pulled back. I saw Tyler smirk through my lashes while I blinked away the tears.

"It's okay,"He shrugged as he placed his hands inside his pants pockets.

I sniffed as the gears inside my head turned,"Do you already have a date to the prom? I assume all girls are trying to flirt with you..."
