Chapter One

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Tyler's POV

It's the first day of senior year and I'm already dreading this year. I had to deal with Caroline and Matt all summer. I hated every minute of it and now, I'd have to deal with them for five days a week. Someone, please shoot me already.

Matt's been asking me, no actually begging me to give Caroline a chance, but he doesn't know her like I do. She tries to be all innocent, but she's far from it. She's a bitch and I want Matt to see that. It's been fun seeing her all flustered and pissed off whenever he mentioned something about their past. I guess she hasn't told him that we used to have a thing.

I don't give a crap about her, but I just want to see her fall flat on her ass with this whole charade. Matt's my best friend and I will make sure he knows Caroline is a selfish bitch that will dump him when she's through with him. I'm not letting my experience with her impact my decision to expose her for what she truly was. She is a fake and if I had a goal this year, it'd be to break them apart.

I just finished getting ready for school and now, I'm heading to school. The drive to school was cool because my new speakers were working perfectly. I parked at my usual spot in the student parking lot. I was getting out of my car when my phone buzzed and I got a text from Matt.

Hey Dude,

Can you go pick Caroline up? Her car's in the shop and I can't go get her myself. Thanks.

-Matt

I was not in the mood to deal with that blonde bimbo, but he's my best friend.

Yeah, I'll go pick her up, Matt.

-Tyler

I reversed my car and sped out of the parking lot, heading towards Forbes' house. Matt owes me big time because he knows I can't stand her. This was going to be the most awkward car ride of my life. Whenever we were in close proximity to each other, we just exploded. It would have been better if it was sexual frustration, but it was pure hate.

What am I saying? I wouldn't want to sleep with her. She's so damn annoying and frustrating. Oh, let's not forget she's my best friend's girlfriend. She's cute, but not my type. Actually, she's beautiful, but we have a history that is not worth repeating.

I arrived at her house and honked continuously until she came out. She looked at me with disdain as she walked up to my car.

"What are you doing here, Tyler?" She asked.

He scoffed, "Don't get your hopes up. I didn't come here to pursue you. I'm here because your boyfriend told me you needed a ride and he couldn't pick you up himself. I don't blame him. I wanted to drive my car off a cliff when he told me to pick you up."

She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I'll walk."

She stepped back from the car and began walking away, but me being the guy I was followed closely behind her.

"Get in the car, Forbes. Stop being a damn baby."

She spun around and glared at me. "I am not being a baby! I just don't want to be anywhere you are. You are the most frustrating guy in the whole entire world!" She exploded.

"Get in the car, now! If I have to, I will pick you up and throw you in here."

It seemed as though she were tired of fighting with me. So, she obliged and got in the car, but she refused to look at me. She kept changing the radio stations and I hate when people touch my stereo, especially her.

"Don't touch my stereo! You are the most frustrating girl in the whole entire world! I don't know how Matt stands you."

"Oh, that makes two of us. Ugh!"

"Quit frowning, it'll cause wrinkles and I know that would just be the worst thing in the whole entire world for you." I teased.

"Shut up, Tyler. I could care less if I get wrinkles. I'm not all about my looks. Now, you on the other hand should worry about staying in shape because your looks are all you've got going for you." She said bitterly.

I slammed my foot on the brakes and she jerked forward. I turned to face her and I gave her an ultimatum.

"You know what? You don't know me. You may think I'm just some dumb jock, but you're wrong. I'm more complex than that. Too bad you'll never see me as anything more. I'm going to make your life hell as long as you're with Matt. You're a phony. You aren't the innocent girl you portray yourself to be. You're a selfish bitch and I won't stop until he sees that."

"When will you get over what happened between us? It was years ago! Get over it! I love Matt and if you're too stupid to see that, than do whatever you want, but just know I make Matt happy."

"That's where you're wrong. Elena made Matt happy. You're just his distraction. He uses you to forget about her. You're his rebound and it's pathetic that you think you can even come close to Elena."

I hadn't realized how harsh I sounded, but that's how it was with her. I said the nastiest things to get a reaction out of her, but I hadn't hoped for this reaction. Caroline was crying, but trying to stay strong by avoiding my gaze. I almost wanted to take back what I said, but this could be one of her damn tricks.

"Oh, quit with the fake tears. It's not working with me, maybe with Matt, but not me."

She whipped her head around to glare at me and I saw her eyes were pouring tears. "What? You think I'm faking this? Tyler, you hit too close to home. I know exactly what I am to Matt, but you know what? I love him regardless of how he feels about me or Elena. So, screw you!"

She turned away from me and I felt terrible. So, I tried to comfort her. I pull her towards me and she explodes. She slaps me and punches me as I try to grab her wrists.

When I capture her wrists, I look into her eyes and see the pain I've caused her. I knew I shouldn't do what I was about to do, but I just couldn't help it. I grabbed her head and pressed my lips against hers. At first, she was stunned, but she kissed me back.

The kiss was fierce and full of hunger and surprisingly, emotion. I knew I should stop, but god, her lips felt great against mine. It felt right, us kissing and our bodies pressed against each other. After a minute or two, she pushed me back and ended the best kiss of my life.
