It was the first Saturday night in the house. Phil had gone into his room, with Seth and Owen, and Via and Tia were in the main room. The only people in the living room, were Tanner and Keely.
"So, Keely, Keely, Keely," Tanner said, putting down his magazine, and looked at Keely.
Keely rolled her eyes. "What"
"You look beautiful," Tanner said.
Keely put down her magazine, in which she had been reading the page about 'How to tell a friend you love them'. "That may have worked a year ago, but thanks to Phil, it's not working now."
Tanner came across, and sat next to Keely on the couch. "So you're honestly telling me you don't find me attractive."
"Um…let me think…" Keely said, pretending to think. "Nope. Don't find you attractive at all."
Tanner wrinkled his nose. Clearly this was not the answer he had been expecting. "Well, who do you find attractive?"
"Why would I tell you?" Keely asked.
"Because I'm asking," Tanner said, trying to put his arm around Keely.
Keely moved away, causing Tanner to look rejected. "And I'm telling you, I'm not telling you who I like"
"So you do like someone?" Tanner asked.
Keely rolled her eyes. "Why do you assume..."
The rest of her words were cut off, as Tanner leaned in and kissed her.
Unfortunately, at this very second, Via, Tia, Seth, Owen and Phil had decided to come in. Phil turned and stormed out.
"Get off me you creep!" Keely pushed Tanner away. Then she slapped him, got off the couch and ran over to Via.
Another unfortunate thing was that Phil had no idea this had happened. All he knew, was that Keely Teslow was kissing Tanner Kirkpatrick.
I can see you're hurting,
You wear it like a coat of amour,
You closed your eyes and chose your battleground,
And there's no way through you
Cause I'm still over here and you're still over there.
You're pulling me to you, where you want to be.
You're twisting the chain
And I'm right there with you, I can match your pain,
You're twisting the chain
Do I run back to you or run away again?
Okay, Keely did not want Tanner to kiss her, which is why she slapped him. She likes Phil, okay? And it will become more obvious in the next chapter.
Talking about the next chapter...Phil does something very naughty...
