Third chapter. Please review. :)
I was sitting in a bar reading a book. No I'm not joking about this. Why would I? I was sitting there reading As You Like It by William Shakespeare. I felt like I was on display too. I felt the eyes of four people I knew really well and two who were half strangers to me. "Why does your cousin have a book in a bar, Caleb?" Kate Tunney asked my cousin. Caleb didn't know how to answer her. Then Caleb's beautiful blonde girl friend Sarah Wenham piped up. "I think it's sweet. It gives her a distinct and quirky personality." She said with an accomplished smile. I think I like her. "She's the sweetest thing." Tyler said with a wide self satisfactory smile. So he thinks I'm sweet? "Pogue told me about your crush on Taryn." Kate said with a laugh. "I do not..." Tyler started but was cut off by Reid. "We all know you've had thing thing for her since you were ten. You worship the ground Taryn Danvers walked on." Reid come off with snidely. Tyler threw his hands up. "I admit it! I have liked Taryn Alissia Danvers ever since I was ten!" Caleb began to laugh. I can't believe my own cousin was laughing! "Well that was awkward." Kate said wide eyed.
Wow that was weird. Tyler just confessed he'd had a crush on me for seven years. I didn't even know he knew my middle name. It was kind of creepy. He'd had a crush on me since I was nine. I wonder what else he knows about me. Does he know I have a black rose tattooed on my wrist? I wasn't sure what to do. I had sat my book down by now. They were all staring at me. Tyler had flushed a deep red. God, help me. I wasn't sure what to do. So I came up with a few options.
1. Run like you've never run before.
2. Throw As You Like It at the giggling Reid Garwin.
3. Take advantage of the moment and flirt with Tyler.
4. Cause the place to catch fire like out of Carrie.
By the time I'd come to my decision I'd ruled out options three and four. And I don't think my poor book deserves to be thrown at Reid. So I went with option one and ran like hell. My raven colored hair flew behind me as I ran. Some one rushed out after me. But at this point I didn't care who it was until I tripped... And they fell on me...
