My Fake Lover

That’s when I realized we were standing by Nick’s car, freezing to death.

I wish I had a guy who can give me his jacket. But I’m a loner. Emily has Nick even though they say they’re friends. Courtney has Tyler even though there not a couple yet. Still friends.

“Courtney never met up with us.” I stated.

“Yeah, she’s probably just having a great time with Tyler.” Emily smiled.

“Yeah, a great time .” Nick smirked, making me glare up at him.

“They’re not doing that!” Emily yelled, laughing.

“Hey, you never know with Tyler.” Nick shrugged like it was something Tyler did everyday.

“Well maybe we should wait for her.” I said, ignoring them.

“She’ll get a ride back with Tyler.” He said. “Now let’s go. My balls are starting to freeze!”

Emily rolled her eyes, but I could tell she was holding back her laughter.

“Who brought her here?” I asked.

“Jill.” Emily said, calling Courtney’s mom by her name. We’ve been friends with her for so long that we got used to calling her mom by her name.

“Oh Shít.” I said, remembering that I forgot to call my mom to tell her where I am. I put my hands in the pockets of my hoodie to see if my phone was in there, but I guess I forgot it in Tyler’s car. “Shít.” I repeated, but this one was a soft mumble.

Your so stupid.

“What’s wrong?” Emily asked.

“What time is it?” I asked, ignoring her question.

Emily pulled out her phone. “Twelve thirty, midnight. Why?”

“My mom doesn’t even know I’m here! I forgot to call her!” I said. My mom is going to kill me. She’s the strict type.

“And it’s an hour drive away form here.”

“Where’s you phone?” She asked.

“In Tyler’s car.” I signed in frustration. I grabbed an elastic from my wrist and tied my hair into a high pony tail. Something I did when I was frustrated. I so it to avoid putting my hand through my hair. I hate doing it since it always goes messy.

“You can use my phone.” Emily said, holding her phone out to me.

“Thanks, but she’s still going to be mad at me. And I still have to get my phone from jerks car.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Any chance he hasn’t locked it?” Emily asked.

“Of course he locked it. He always locks his car.” Nick said. “That car is freaking expensive.”

I grabbed the phone from Emily and called Tyler. After about twenty seconds, he picked up.

“What?” He said.

Like always, rude.

“Where are you?” I asked.

“What, you miss me already?” I just could feel his smirk playing on his face right now.

“Get over yourself jerk.” I rolled my eyes.

“No.” He said, I could picture him with his cocky smile.

“I left my phone in your car.” I stated.

“Aww. That’s too bad.” He said, pretending to feel sorry for me.

“I’m serious jerk. Come here or I’ll break your window open of your

expensive car to grab my phone!” I said and hung up before he had the chance to say anything else.

“You know, you guys can leave. I’m just gonna ride with Tyler, as much as I would hate it but you guys are cold and I don’t want to keep you guys waiting for my sake.”

“Oh it’s okay, we can wait. Right Nick?” Emily smiled up at him.

“Uh, yeah but my freaking balls are probably gonna fall off due to hypothermia.” Nick said.

“Ugh, stop that.” Emily smiled a little, but tried to hide it as she slapped him at the back of the head.

“Ouch!” He whinnied like a baby.

“Just leave.” I said. I don’t want to get in there way. They’re soon to be together. I could feel it.

“Are you sure?” Emily asked.

“Positive.” I nodded. I’m not positive. I would rather go with them than be third wheel with Tyler and Courtney. Well, I’ll also be third wheel with them both, but it’ll be better.

When Nick and Emily left, it took at least fifteen minutes for Tyler and Court to get here.

“What took you so long!?” I yelled. It felt like I was just buried under a pile of snow. “I’m freezing.”

“Maybe you should’ve run around the parking lot to heat up your body, and loose wait while your at it. You could use some exercise.” Tyler smirked.

I glared at him and felt like tearing him into tiny pieces. I hate him. And I hate that Courtney didn’t even defend me. She’s supposed to be my best friend. You aren’t supposed to call a girl fat, ever.

“Maybe you should’ve run here to loose your fat ass.” I retorted. But Tyler wasn’t fat at all. I just needed a comeback.

Wow, nice one Lexi.

Tyler smirked at me.

“What?”

“Nothing.” He waved me off.

“Tell me.” I pushed it.

“Let’s just go guys. It’s cold out.” Courtney interrupted.

“Yeah, your right.” Tyler said walking up to his car.

When we all went inside, I searched for my phone but it was no where to be seen. I looked under the seat and in the cup holder. And everywhere possible to check. No where.

“Crap.” I mumbled. I probably got a thousand messages from mom. “Where the hell is my freaking phone?” I said.

“Probably at my house.” Tyler states like it doesn’t even matter.

“Oh no.” I said. He was right. I probably left it at his house. I was too busy looking at the beauty of the place, maybe I laid it down somewhere?

“Oh yes.” He said.

“Well Tyler could bring it to you tomorrow at school.” Courtney suggested.

“Yeah, whatever.” I rolled my eyes.

I have to get ready ti get yelled at by my mom. She’s probably waiting by the door, ready for my to walk in. Then she’d attack with words. Scary words. That’s my mom for you.
