Tyler parked his car on the parking lot of the Mystic Grill. He saw Caroline leaning against the mural outside drinking some Bourbon. He hoped she wouldn’t look up. But as he made his way to the entrance she looked up.
“Tyler?” she said surprised.
Just keep walking, Tyler thought.
“I know you can hear me, Tyler” Caroline said uncomprehending. “Why are you avoiding me?”
Tyler stopped and walked towards Caroline. “Caroline, hi” he forced himself to say. He scratch his hair, feeling uncomfortable. “Don’t you…don’t you have school to go to?”
“Lunch break” Caroline explained. “So, are you going to tell me where you’ve been?”
“Sure” Tyler smirked. “As soon as I believe I should tell you every little detail about my life, I will”
“Tyler, I was worried about you. Don’t you get that?” Caroline said upset. “Who knows what could’ve happened to you?”
Tyler raised his hand. “Wait, I get myself a dia off and you start ringing the alarm bells? Honey, please, I know you’re dramatic, but try keeping it to the limit”
Caroline grabbed his colarinho, colar and forced him against the wall. “I’m not being dramatic. I’m pissed. Your red slut friend threatened me. She thought I knew where you were. So I think I deserve to know where the hell you’ve been” she hissed.
Tyler smiled in her face. “She did, huh? I should give the girl an award. She’s got guts” Caroline let go of him and stared at him upset.
“She’s in there?” Tyler asked, walking backwards to and pointing at the Grill, that smile still on his face.
