Secret Meetings and Feelings
The rest of the holiday went by rather quickly, with neither family really acknowledging the other. Occasionally, Sam and Tania would smile to each other when their husbands weren't looking, but apart from that there was no communication between the adults. Between Angel and Tyler it was quite different. They had both realised that there was a gap in the wall which separated their gardens. When it was dark, they would sit by the wall, talking. Luckily, the wall was close the house, so when their families looked out the window they couldn't see them talking to each other. However; it did mean they had to whisper. They learnt so much about one another and their families history. Tyler told Angel all about his Mom and his other secrets and Angel told him all hers. Despite hardly knowing each other they just felt like they had been friends for life and had a trust between them that wouldn't break. The truth be told, their friendship probably blossomed so quickly, due to the war between their fathers. Having been forbidden to see the other, they just wanted to meet up more often.
When school started Angel and Tyler planned to leave the house at different times and meet at the bus stop where the bus to school left from. Angel had informed all her friends about Tyler and the rift between the two families so they were all aware of the situation between the two of them.
When Tyler arrived at the bus stop that day, he felt his heart break as he saw Angel holding friends with Jamie. She had of course told him all about Jamie, but it still hurt him to see them together. He couldn't even feel better when she winked at him. Jamie was so gorgeous, with blonde hair and dark eyes. Why on earth would she pick him, Tyler over Jamie? He tried to ignore the pair of them and spoke to Angel's friend Tally Best, purposely avoiding Angel as they had planned. Of course they hadn't wanted any one from their families to see them talking together.
Tally was really pretty. She looked like her mother- Honey, whereas her twin-Logan looked like Gary their Dad. Seeing Tyler and Tally talking together, possibly flirting together made Angel jealous and confused. Why should she be jealous of her two friends talking together? There was no reason why they shouldn't talk. It was probably innocent any way. And it wasn't like anything had happened between her and Tyler. She had Jamie and that's the way it had to be. But when he caught her eye and they both smiled, she couldn't help but feel guilty. There she was in Jamie's arms, while she was getting all flustered and warm inside over some other guy. At least at school they were in different years. She was in year 11 while Tyler was in year 12. That should at least make life easier, she thought.
