Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 60: Coming Clean 

EMMA’s POV : 

"Who is it?"Carrie asked when she noticed my phone buzzing for the tenth time that day.

lt was a Sunday afternoon and my friends and I were having our weekly Sunday brunch.

I slept all day yesterday because I was so tired after the dance, so I hadn't seen the two of them since prom night and we had a lot of catch up on.

"It's Tyler again.He wants to see me later tonight,"I sighed when I read the text on my phone.I had been dodging his calls and not responding to his texts.

We woke up after cuddling all night long in his dad's cabin and things went kinda awkward.

"So, is it official between you two?"Carrie asked and Tiff eyed me suspiciously.

"Guys, I told you, we're just friends,"

"Honey, friends don’t wander out to the beach at senior trip and fall asleep on each other's arms,"Tiff sassed.

"And don't forget prom night.We walked out to the living room in the morning and saw you two cuddling,"Carrie followed.

"I know,"

"And you said that you two kissed,"Carrie said again.

"Yeah, just that one time, and I stopped it,"

"So, this ship ain't sailing huh?"Tiff asked.

"There’s no ship guys...I really like Tyler, but..."

"Not the way you like lan,"Carrie said knowingly.

"Not even close,"I sighed, pausing for a moment before continuing

"And I know we're over and everything, but still.I can’t just magically make feelings appear,"

I It was sad to admit that even after all this time and my efforts in trying to forget him, I was still in love with lan Hayes.

I thought about him every single day and I dreamt about him every single night.

"So, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna see Ty later?"Tiff asked.

"I don't know.I told him that I felt like leading him on but he said he didn't care,"

"But you do,"Carrie said.

"Yeah, I do care.I can't do that to him.He’s just too good,"

"You're a good friend too, Emma,"

Carrie took my hand and squeezed it gently.

"It just really sucks that I might have to break his heart.I know how that feels like and it is shitty as hell.So now we're just floating around, not sure of what we're doing,"

"You are preaching to the choir, sister,"Tiff sighed dramatically.

Tiff called us up last night and mentioned briefly that Nick and her are on a break.

She said she knew that Nick and her would have to break up eventually because they were going in different directions.

She just didn’t think it was gonna be this soon.

"So, things with you and Nick...?"I asked cautiously.
