My Fake Lover

#lexi’s POV:

…..

I haven’t seen Tyler for the past week. I’ve been ignoring him. Every time I see him, I walk away fast before he saw me. I also avoided Courtney. I can’t believe she did that to me.

She knew I was dating Jeremy and yet she sleeps with him for her special needs.

“Lexi?” Speak of the devil.

I turned round and met the eyes of Courtney. The person I don’t want to see.

“What do you want?” I spat at her like dirt.

“I want to know why your ignoring me out of a sudden.” She said with sadness in her eyes.

I was in the middle of eating my lunch with Emily. But sadly, she had to take care of her monthly visit.

Just looking at Courtney and remembering what she did to me, I couldn’t even eat anymore. She’s disgusting to me now.

“You should perfectly know why I’m ignoring you.” I spat out. “Just get out of my face, you disgust me.”

I know I was being mean, but she deserves it. I’ve been crying all week because I taught we were friends. I guess I was so wrong. And how can Jeremy go thinking he could get back with me after he did what he did. Such an idiot.

“What did I do?!” Courtney yelled, completely confused and mad.

“You’ve been a slut, that’s what you did.” The words slipped out of my mouth and suddenly there was people surrounding the table.

Courtney’s eyes got wide when realization kicked in. She looked embarrassed but it soon disappeared into anger. “Slut? Your the slut if you’ve been going around pretending to be Tyler’s boyfriend just so you can go in his pants!” Courtney yelled and a tear slid down my cheek.

I don’t even know this girl anymore. Is that what she really thinks?

Everyone in the crowd gasped.

“You slept with Jeremy while I was dating him. Then you tell him to break up with me. Why?” I asked quietly.

“Because you get everyone . Everyone likes you. Tyler liked you. So that’s why I made you guys hate each other when we were younger. I faked everything! When Tyler told me to tell you that he liked you, I told you the opposite because I know you liked him too. I told Tyler that you laughed at my face and joked about it. That’s when he started hating you, when I told him all those lies. I loved him and I didn’t want you to have him! Because you get everything.” Courtney said so fast she didn’t realize what she said, but when she did, her face turned red and she looked all freaked out that it’s now in the open and Tyler’s going to find out.

I stood up from my lunch table and slapped Courtney across the face at the same time as another tear escaped my eye.

That explains everything! It was Courtney all along.

Courtney’s head moved to the left after I slapped her, she deserves it. She glared at me then walked around the table and pushed me to the ground. It all happen so fast.

She jumped on top of me and started pulling my hair but I pushed her down the other side and started hitting her.

There was people recording, yelling, and some trying to stop the fight. That’s when a few teachers came in rushing and pulled us apart.

There were two teachers, one holding me, and another holding Courtney. They were bringing us out the cafeteria but not forcefully just yelling at student to go mind their own business.

As we passed the loud crowd of people whispering loudly among each other, I spotted a very shocked Emily and Tyler standing next to her showing an emotion I couldn’t quite point out, maybe mad. My vision was blurry with tears so I couldn’t really see.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

I was still crying with unstable tears running down my face, but it wasn’t loud cries escaping my mouth, it was just the tears.

I’ve never had a physical fight with anyone before, and the first one was with my used-to-be best friend.

•••••••••••

I left the principles office in a rush, he let us off with four weeks worth of detention and a phone call to our parents. At least he didn’t suspend me, but I wish he could suspend Courtney so I wouldn’t have to see her.

I’m still in shock, shes actually the one who came between Tyler and I. That’s the whole reason we became enemies. And Tyler actually liked me back before.

Now I know he doesn’t like me now, but I guess I like him.

I liked him and he liked me, but instead of getting together, we went apart. It’s all so upsetting. We could’ve have all these years together. Maybe fall in love.

And it’s all ruined based on a few lies Courtney decided to tell him, I only wonder what other lies she told him. I feel so bad that all this time, he taught I made fun of him that he like me. I don’t even know if Tyler heard what Courtney accidentally spilled. She just wanted to make me mad and that was the worst thing.

But I’m actually glad that I know the truth. He taught I hated him first, that’s why he started bullying me and making fun of me in front of all those kids. I removed crying in my room after all the insults he did to me. But everything changed, we became fiends again.

I really needed to talk to Tyler but I’m still going to ignore him for right now, I need to calm down and think everything through. I know Tyler saw the fight, but I don’t know if he heard it.

If was now seventh period and I have Jeremy in that class. The idiot who cheated on me with my best friend.

I walked up to my locker and angrily shoved my books I had inside. I needed to grab my books for seventh period bit before I had the chance to, someone closed my locker and I jumped I surprise.

How didn’t I notice him walk here. Maybe he’s a vampire, that’ll explain his extremely good looks.

“Uh, Why aren’t you in class?” I asked quietly, hoping he can’t see right through me because all I really wanted to do is hug him. I needed a hug so bad and the person I’d pick for that hug, was definitely Tyler.

“Why aren’t you in class?” He asks even though I know he already knows.

“Just answer my question.”

“Why?”

“Because I asked you first.”

“Because you not in class.” He smirked.

I swear, my heart stopped for three seconds then I turned my head the other way so he wouldn’t notice my reaction. I put the combination to my lock and open it back so I could get my things. But when I opened it, Tyler closed it again.

“What are you doing?” I asked and dropped my arms to the side.

“Preventing you from going to the land of misery. Everyone’s taking about you and that fight. Your the school gossip.”

He’s not going to ask me about that fight?

“I can’t skip class, I never did before.”

“Then today’s your day. Do you really want to go to class now? After what happened? You’ve missed a period anyway. And I really want to talk… about everything.”

I nodded and we both walked out the school.

Like I wasn’t in trouble already, now I’m ditching class.
