Tyler's P.O.V
Five, five days, counting today it's been five days of Thanksgiving break and it's been really crazy. Let me just give you a quick run-down.
So Thursday, I got my car back, bleached my hair, everyone freaked out over my car. Apparently I'm going be be picking up Chris's dad Thursday because he'll love my car.
I dyed my hair Friday, I mixed pink and purple for all my hair but my bangs they're just pink.
Greyson and Felix's friends have been staying the night every night and they can be very loud at night.
I've learned that they're cute friend is named James, wait, hold on back up. Cute? Where did that come from? I mean he is pretty cute with his big chocolate eyes, and dirty blonde hair that's he keeps kind of short on the sides and a little longer on the top. And when he smiles he gets these cute dimples and his cheeks make his eyes kinda close.
Oh my god. Do I have a crush? DO I HAVE A CRUSH?!
I fly off my bed where I had been reading and run through the bathroom to the music room where Dallas, Brooklyn, and Vivian are.
"If one were to have a crush how would you know? Hypothetically speaking of course." I say interrupting their conversation, honestly right now my thing is more important.
"Um well, if you think about them constantly, get all flustered around them, imagine yourself in a relationship with them, notice little things about them, things like that" Vivian says looking up from the piano.
"Why? Do you have a crush on someoneeee" maybe I should not have said this in front of Brooklyn. She'll blab to everyone she see's. My face heats up, but based off what they said I'm not sure if I do have a crush on him.
I haven't thought about him much and I haven't been around him enough to get all flustered or notice things about him. Maybe I just think he's cute. Yeah that's what it is.
"I think I figured it out" I turn around and go back through the bathroom and stop infront of the mirror. I had let my hair air dry after my shower, I rarely blow dry it since my hair has a nice texture and doesn't get frizzy, it's not curly or wavey but it also isn't straight.
My hair's long a little past my hips, I part it down the middle and do two French braids that go into messy buns at the base of my head. I brush out my bangs with my fingers until they look nice and leave the bathroom.
I grab my book and go downstairs to make lunch, it's a little past two so I figured now there'd be no one in the kitchen but I was wrong.
It was Addison and her girlfriend sitting at the island eating salads. "Hey Tyler, your hairs cute" Clara says with a mouth full, I smile and nod and go over to the pantry to grab the tortillas and go to the fridge to get shredded cheese.
I go over to the stove, grab a skillet, turn on the stove and slap a tilla on it. Now I normally hate tortillas like even the thought of them makes me gag because I can smell them. But I love quesadillas, I throw a bunch of cheese on close the tortilla and wait for it to cook.
I'd put meat in it if there was any but the animals playing video games in the living room right now ate it all. I flip it over and wait a little more then put it on a plate.
I cook it just enough so that the cheese is melted but not enough that the tortilla gets much color. If it's too dark I'm not gonna eat it I can't stand the burnt flavor.
I put the skillet in the sink, put the tortillas back and the cheese, grabbing an apple juice while I'm in the fridge.
I grab my juice, plate, and book and go upstairs, but instead of turning right to go to my room I turn left to go to the huge library.
Daniel loves books and there's a ginormous library on the second floor. Really think about the one from The Beauty and the Beast it's like that.
I push open the really heavey really tall door and go to turn on the light but notice it's already on.
"Hey Tyler" my head quickly snaps over to the side where the voice came from. My eyes land on James and my heart starts racing.
It kind of feels like when I have an anxiety attack but nice.
"Wanna sit with me" there's that smile, I can't help the smile that forms on my face. I go and sit with him at the table and put my stuff down, "So you must really like apple juice it's the only thing I've seen you drink" he says as I twist open the cap.
Notice, he's noticed that I only drink apple juice, does he have a crush on me? No, it's gotta just be a coincidence.
"I don't really, it's just good for my blood sugar so it's just the main thing I drink if I can" I shrug.
"Oh yeah you have diabetes right" he's noticed that too? "S-so why are you alone in here" dammit, I stuttered infront of him of course, stupid.
"My parents only agreed to let me stay here the whole break as long as I spent at least one day studying" he says and gestures to all the books and papers on the table.
"For what?" I take a bite of my quesadilla, "What?" his eyebrows scrunch together and his head tilts a little. "What are you studying for?" I take another bite.
"Oh yeah, law school, my parents are lawyers and have a firm here in town and I'm gonna take over once they retire" he chuckles at the beginning.
I finish my quesadilla and push my plate over to the side, "I like you hair" "Aren't you supposed to be studing?" I smile again, what is wrong with me?
"Well I think I've studied enough today, I'd rather sit here and talk to you" now he's smiling.
I feel my cheeks heat up. "So what is there to know about Tyler" he says and crosses his arms across his chest, "Um, I'm Greyson's sister, we're twins but he's about ten minutes older, we've been in foster care since we were seven. I was diagnosed with both autism and diabetes at ten, I love to color my hair as you can tell, I play the guitar and piano. I think that's about it."
"Hm, wait you're autistic" his eyebrows scrunch together, "Yeah but I'm high functioning" I shrug. "What about you, what's James like" I think I have a crush.
"I'm the oldest of four kids, I have two sisters three and five, and a little brother who's twelve, he's autistic not high functioning though he struggles alot" he sighs.
"What do you like to do?" He puts his elbows on the table and sets his head on his hands. "Why are you asking so many questions?" does he have a crush on me? Do I have a crush on him? What would Greyson say, would he be happy about me liking a boy? Be upset that's it's his friend? Not want me to like a boy?
"What I can't ask a pretty girl questions?" I just stare back at him in his eyes, those beautiful big chocolate eyes. He's the only one beside Greyson that I can do that with and not panic.
"Well, a pretty girl that I like" my cheeks heat up again, he likes me? "Hm, does Tyler like me too perhaps" he teases.
My face gets so red like a tomato times thirty. I put my face in my hands, "Hey, I'm sorry. If you don't like me just say and I'll leave you alone okay" he touches my arm.
My head snaps up and I pull my arms back into my chest, "Sorry, you don't like being touched I forgot" I didn't tell him that, he's just observed me enough to notice.
"N-no I d-dint say that" ugh he brings out my stutter, flustered he makes me flustered. "Oh so you do like me" my face heats up again.
"HA, Okay okay I'll stop I promise" he's laughing.
"Do you have a phone, I've never seen you on one" I pull my phone out of my pocket and hand it to him, "Then I guess you haven't paid that much attention to me, my Dexcom apps on there that's how I check my sugar" he swipes and it opens.
"You don't have a password on your phone?" He raises an eyebrow, "I don't have a reason to" I shrug. He does a bunch of typing then hands my phone back, "There I put my number in and sent myself a text so I'll have yours" his smile is back.
I get a ding and notice that it's from Dexcom, I need to go take my insulin. "Oh I need to go take my insulin so I guess I'll see you around the house somewhere" I don't really want to leave him but I also don't want Greyson to come find me alone with him, I don't know how he'd react.
"See you around Tyler, and text me sometime" if he doesn't quit smiling I think my heart will explode.
Oh no, I do have a crush, a big fat crush. On Greyson's friend, who I just met the other day. Well let's hope all those times Greyson asked about me liking someone and him saying he'd fight them was just a joke.

Ahhhh I can't wait to watch my babies Tyler and James grow.
