awkward, shy and frustrated.  I didn’t know how
to react.  Zeke had always been like an annoying brother, and Tyler my
reliable best friend – but I had no idea what was happening now?
    The music stopped, and I took a deep breath before I
looked up into Tyler’s eyes.  He smiled down at me, and he looked….
happy.  I suggested we get another drink, and we went back to our
table.  I watched him as he went to the bar.  Had his feelings for me
changed in some way, or was something else happening?  I have no
experience with boys at all – I’ve never even had a boyfriend.  So, if
there were signs - I was obviously missing them.  I decided when he came
back to try and get things back to normal – control the environment, I needed
time to think.  
    Whilst Tyler was being served, I noticed Emin at the
bar leaning over to talk to a pretty girl who was serving drinks.  She
seemed to be enjoying his attention.  She was a tall, slim girl with
blonde hair pulled up in a high ponytail.  The way they were talking they
seemed to be friends, but I wouldn’t know, Emin never talks about girls to
me.  By this time, Tyler was back with our drinks.  Straight away I
started commenting on the songs the band were playing, other kids from our
school who were here, anything I could think of to keep things normal.  It
worked, we had no more… moments until we left the club.
    We were outside waiting for Emin and Zeke when Tyler
reached out and took my hand. 
    “I had a good time tonight,” he said as he looked at
me with his dark brown eyes.  “What about you?” 
    This is exactly what I didn’t want, I needed more time
to figure out what was going on with him. 
    “Yeah, it was fun,” I responded nervously. 
    Just then a group of boys were thrown out a side door
of the club interrupting our conversation and then Zeke called out to me. 
    “Ready to go Hayl’s?” Zeke said looking at Tyler, not
me. 
    “I suppose, where is Emin?” I asked, expecting him to
be there too. 
    “Let’s just say he's a little tied up at the moment,”
he said as he nodded towards the darker side of the entrance where I saw him
embracing the blonde girl - kissing. 
    “I don’t think I needed to see that,” I said
squinting.
    “No-one does.  He said for me to take you home,
he might be a while,” Zeke said. 
    “I can get her home safely,” Tyler added, obviously
not wanting the evening to end just yet.  But I did. 
    I needed a break from this experiment so I said, “its
fine, Zeke is staying with us anyway, so it’s probably easier.  Thanks for
a nice night though.” 
    He leaned in and kissed me on the cheek before I knew
what was happening and said, “night Hayln, I had a fantastic night too, I’ll
call you tomorrow”. 
    “Okay,” I stuttered, still feeling his kiss on my
cheek as Zeke grabbed me by the arm to lead me to the van.
    As we turned and walked away Zeke let go of me and
went ahead to the van, unlocked it and got in.  He didn’t seem as if he
wanted to talk, and that was fine with me, I needed to think.  I hadn’t
expected Tyler to kiss me, but I was surprised how warm and happy it made me
feel.  Maybe things were changing with us, and maybe I was going to like
the changes after all.  We'd almost arrived home before Zeke spoke to me
again. 
    “So, did you have a good time tonight?  Or were you
just saying that for his benefit,” he said. 
    “Of course I meant it.  Tyler is my best friend
why would I lie to him?” I said starting to get upset. 
    “Best friend!” He spat out, “I doubt that’s all he
thinks he is from what I saw tonight”. 
    I didn’t reply, because honestly I didn’t know what to
say, and it wasn’t any of his business anyway.  This overprotective
brother routine was going a bit far.  He waited for me to say something,
but I didn’t.  We started to turn into our street, and I thought if I kept
my mouth shut that maybe I could get inside before we had to
