Tony went to his room and laid down on his bed, tired and sleepy. Leliah was having trouble studying for an exam so she went to Tony's room. She was looking for the light switch but then she tripped onto his bed. He opened his eyes and used the light on his phone to see who it is. "Really?" She looked up and him. "I came in for you to help me with my studying." "Right.. When it's just the two of us in the house, you just happen to need help." She shoved her hand in Tony's face and went back to her room, dropping herself onto her bed. They both fell asleep and their parents came in two hours afterwards. The next day, they headed out for school. Trevor sees them walking together and laughs a little. "Did you guys have like a marriage-couple fight and make up?" Tony and Trevor did the typical fist bump and walked to class after visiting their lockers, leaving Leliah behind with Kaylee and Kimmy. She told her two best friends of how she kissed Tony on the cheek, him smiling afterwards, and him carrying her in his arms. They freaked and ran to the people who walked past them, telling them what happened but exaggerating. The rumors came back and Tony's phone started ringing non-stop with phone calls and texts. He sighed and turned it off. Tony walked out to the hallways and saw Leliah. He walked towards her and glanced at her friends. "Don't get your hopes up. If you have the slightest idea that I like you, get rid of it because I'm not anymore. Just because you live under the same roof as me, doesn't mean that I'll like you to the extent that I would want to date you. So let that thought go. I thought you were the type that doesn't tell everybody what happened between me and you so I gave you some smiles. But I guess I was wrong, you're only using me for your own popularity. You're only weighing me down like a burden." Trevor put his hand on Tony's shoulder since he thinks that was a bit harsh. Leliah's eyes were tearing up a little and her friends, Kimmy and Kaylee, were consoling her, saying that she can get a much better guy than Tony as they walked to the bathroom. Tony walked back to class, moving Trevor's hand with the jerk of his arm. Tony was silent during the rest of school that day. He walked home without Leliah and got ready for the sweet 16 party he was invited to. Leliah came home a while after Tony did and she got ready too. Tony grabbed the keys to his dad's Audi R8 and shook it in front of him. "I'm driving it to a party." His dad nodded and Tony got in it. He started it up and left without Leliah. He arrived at the party and went in. It was packed and most girls were waiting to dance with Tony but he just sat down, turning his phone on. He saw Leliah come in and start dancing with a group of guys and got irritated.. Or jealous? He grabbed her hand and walked out the back door as she struggled to get out of his grip. She looked up at him when they got out. "If I really am that much of a burden, I'll forget about you. Me and my dad are moving out next week." Tony scoffed and put her against the brick wall since they were in a back alley. "Then try to forget about me." Then he kissed her.
Tony stepped back and looked at Leliah for a few seconds while she just stood there, against the brick wall, shocked. He poked his head back in the building and looked around the crowd of people dancing. Leliah was still shocked and Tony just drove back home. He took a shower and planted himself onto his bed, slowly falling asleep. His parents and Leliah's parents were talking downstairs. Leliah came a little while after and she also took a shower and went to sleep. It was late but the parents were talking about the moving out situation since Tony's parents didn't want them to leave. The next morning, Tony and Leliah got ready for school and went. They both forgot about the test in first period because of the party so Leliah was totally bothered by it, but Tony was laid-back as always. They went to class together with Trevor after going to their lockers. "Good luck, bro", Trevor said while he sat down. "Oh wait.. You don't need it, genius." Tony chuckled as he sat down. He turned to Leliah and looked at her. "Good luck....... Trevor." He laughed a bit as he turned back while Leliah threw an eraser cap at him but missed. The teacher got up from his desk, grabbing the stack of papers. "Alright, guys. Quiet down. Testing time." He handed out the tests and sat back down at his desk. Tony skimmed the whole thing and started. Leliah was biting her nails but then Tony took her test, replacing it with his finished one when the teacher wasn't looking. It was guaranteed an A or a high B. His face was emotionless as he finished the one he got from Leliah, erasing a bunch of incorrect answers she made. His face was blank but he was laughing in the inside.
