At school it was just like at the bus stop, except they actually socialised together. Tyler joined Angel's gang and became friends with her friends. This made it slightly more difficult for Tyler as he had to watch Angel and Jamie together, but he knew that they couldn't be together anyway because of their families so it was better off this way, plus she was happy with Jamie. Or so he thought. Angel couldn't never be happy with Jamie while her thoughts were elsewhere. Every time Jamie kissed her, she imagined it was Tyler kissing her. Every time he touched her, she pictured herself in Tyler's muscular embrace, maybe even next to his bare naked chest. The chest she had seen from her English room's window, while he did PE. Sometimes, she visualised her and Tyler having sex together which would make her blush, for what seemed to everyone else, no apparent reason. She felt foolish. She hadn't even had sex, not even with Jamie and yet here she was thinking about doing it with a guy she could never have. She hated torturing herself, but felt like this was the only way.

This carried on till, December, when it was Angel's 16th birthday. Her parents had planned a huge party for her at the house. Tyler was unwelcome of course. As far as the Turners and the Hunters were concerned their teenage children hated each other- and that was the way they wanted it to stay. Angel and Tyler regularly staged fake arguments to deceive their parents, before they would sneak off, after talk to have one of their secret chats, through the gap in the wall.

As Angel escaped from the party, she couldn't help but feel dismayed that the one person she really wanted there, was banned from even looking at her. As she found out the other day, when Tyler stole a quick glance her way and her Dad had threatened to have court order took out against him. It was unbearable, not being able to talk to Tyler, freely. It was made worse by the fact she was still dating Jamie. She vowed that she would break up with him that day. Then he had given her a heart shaped necklace and declared his love to her. She just couldn't watch his heart break into a thousand pieces if she finished with him, and found herself uttering the words back.

She walked back downstairs and found the party in full swing. It was the last day of term, and a week before Christmas so everyone was having a good time. Everyone except Angel. Fairy lights hung over the walls, and a Christmas tree was placed in the corner. Balloons with 'Sweet Sixteen' hung from the walls, and her family had even allowed alcohol at the party. The music was blaring and all her friends were having fun, except her.

'Cheer up babes. This is a great party.' Tally told her, before taking her arm and started dancing madly. Angel laughed and felt slightly happier than she had all night. However the happiness was short lived. Angel stopped dancing.

'Can you hear sirens?' She asked Tally. She nodded. Everyone else had noticed to and the music was switched off. Angel ran to the window and saw to police officers walking up the path. Sam looked at her, and she just shrugged. She was as confused as her Mother. Phil went to the door and let the two officers in.

'We've had a complaint from one of the neighbours about the noise.' One of them explained. Phil rolled his eyes.

'Turner. Should of known. Wait till I see him.'

'Calm down sir. We just have to investigate that's all.'

'Well, we weren't making that much noise, but we will keep it down.' Angel said, using her charm to flatter the officer.

'Well, perhaps that's for the best. Well Happy Birthday to you Miss. Enjoy the rest of the party, but keep the noise down.' Angel nodded and her father followed the officer out. He looked across at Stuart's house. There he was standing on the door step looking smug.

'Everything Ok? Hope nothing's wrong.' He said smugly. Angel came to the door and managed to stop her Dad from causing a scene. The police had only just left, she didn't want them back again.

'They just came to wish me Happy Birthday and to see how I was getting on with my school project- How to deal with Nuisance Neighbours. They've been helping me you see.' She smiled sweetly watching the smirk slide off her neighbours face. Phil grinned as Stuart turned and stormed inside.

'Well done.' He patted his daughter on the back and joined the rest of the party with a shout of put the music back on. Before returning inside, Angel looked up and saw Tyler looking down at her, an apologetic smile on his face. She smiled back at him, waved and mouthed the words 'Talk later'. And rejoined the party.
