Chapter 11
"I know...it's one of my many qualities." I replied, then added. "I don't know why you are so worked up. You are always teasing me, so I guess it's my turn now."
"Not for long." He said, before turning away and walking back to his house.
Shaking my head at his comment, I opened the front door and went inside.

That night, I had just turned off my light and went into bed, when my phone buzz indicating I received a text message.
I retrieved it from my bedside table and unlocked the screen. I saw that it was a message from Tyler. He and I had exchanged numbers the day we started our fake dating. I opened the message.
Tyler: Nice Mickey Mouse pajamas ;)
I looked down at my pajamas and blushed in embarrassment. How did he see what pajamas I was wearing? I quickly type a reply.
Me: Were you looking through my window, you perv?
He answered instantly.
Tyler: I wasn't looking through your window. You were in my line of sight, so I saw you ;)
I don't know who he was fooling, because we both know that he intentionally looked.
Me: I'm sure that's what happened...
After I sent the message, my phone didn't buzz again until a minute later.
Tyler: I told you I'll find something to tease you about ;)
Even though he couldn't see me, I rolled my eyes at what he said. I send a response.
Me: Whatever Tyler. Good night.
Instantly, my phone buzzed.
Tyler: Good night, Mickey Mouse ;)
I shook my head, before replacing my phone on the bedside table. A few minutes after I put my phone down, I was asleep.
"How is your fake dating with Tyler coming along?" Tori asked on Wednesday. She was lying on her stomach across her bed, swinging her feet in the air. As soon as we left school we head over to her house and was here talking about random things.
"It's going okay. Everyone seems to believe we are actually a couple and Logan hasn't said anything to me in two days, so I guess it's working." I responded. "At least, I hope so." I added. I was sitting in front of Tori on the bed, my back against the headboard.
"I wish I'd seen the look on his face when he saw that you were dating Tyler." She chuckled. "The cheating jerk deserves it. No me gusta nada."
I smiled at Tori's words. Ever since Logan cheated on me, Tori despised him. She never fails to express how much she hates him. After a while, Tori turned on the bed and sat up, facing me. "So, what are you going to be for Halloween?"
"Aren't we too old to dress up for Halloween, Tori?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at her.
"Nonsense, it's fun to dress up. You don't have to be a kid." Tori replied.
Of course, it would be cool for Tori. She loves Halloween. It was her favourite time of year. Every year she goes all out thinking of what she was going to be; and every year she's something different. She looks forward to this time of year and even though Halloween was two weeks away, she began preparing for it early. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Halloween. I just don't love it as much as she does. Personally, Christmas is my favourite time of year.
What I really love about Halloween, however, is the horror shows that comes on the television. Movies such as; Paranormal Activity, The Quiet Place and The Haunted Mansion and many more nail biting movies that grace the television on this time of year. There are other movies that are not scream worthy, but I love them too, like; Hocus Pocus and The Halloween Town series. Horror movies are my favourite kind of movies, so that's something I'll be looking forward to.
"But it's going to be weird; dressing up and going trick or treating." I reasoned.
Tori rolled her eyes. "Of course we are not going trick or treating, Emily. That's for kids. However, we can still dress up in hot costumes."
I sighed. Well, she was right. I guess we could. "Okay, I'll think about it."
Tori clapped her hands together. "Great! I'll tell you what I'm going to be this year; a hot fire fighter or wonder woman."
I giggled. "They're both great ideas. I'm sure you will look good in either one. Even in a plastic bag." I added with a laugh.
It was true though. Tori could rock any look. She had a gorgeous body. Boys are always vying for her attention, but as always, she never gave anyone of them the time of day.
Tori burst out laughing too. "Hmm...a plastic bag. Maybe I'll try that one."
My eyes widen. "Tori, you wouldn't!"
Tori didn't respond. She just winked at me and grinned teasingly. I shook my head at her. Knowing Tori and how impulsive she can be, that's exactly something she would do.

Closing my locker at the end of the day, I turned around only to come face to face with Logan.
Why doesn't he just leave me alone? Seeing him alone makes my once good day now bad. I never knew he could be this annoying.
"What do you want Logan?" I asked, sighing quietly. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with him today.
"I want you back, Emily. I want to know, why can't you give me another chance? Why is it so easy for you to throw away what we had?" He asked.
I felt my anger rising at his words. How dare him? How dare him to try and make me look like the bad guy? "I'm not the one who threw away what we had. That's all on you. You threw away what we had the second you cheated on me and hid it from me for months!"
