Wait, did I take off both false eyelashes? Maybe thatâs why heâs staring. I quickly blink my eyes a few times to see if I can feel the false lashes or not. Nope, I took them both off. I glance up again just in time to see the back of Tylerâs phone as he takes a picture of me.
âWhat are you doing?â Olivia snaps before I can gather my thoughts to ask the same question myself.
âNothing, donât worry about it babe,â Tyler says smoothly. Then he winks. Iâm not sure who heâs winking at, it could have been Katy for all I know. It was just a general âIâm a hot dude and even though I just got caught doing something kinda creepy, youâre not gonna get madâ sort of wink.
âYou just took a picture of Hannah. What for?â Olivia wonât let it go. âWhat the hell Tyler?â She looks genuinely upset. Iâm too shocked to say anything, I just sit there like a dummy staring at him. Why did Tyler take a picture of me? Thereâs no way he wants it for himself, I mean, itâs not like weâre friends or anything.
âBabe, itâs nothing. I promise.â Tyler tries to smooth talk his way out of it, but now he has four sets of female eyes staring him down.
âTylerâŠâ Katy pipes up. I always forget she must actually know him, since heâs on the football team with her brothers. âDude, donât B-C,â she says in a fake deep voice with a funny little two-fingered salute. I glance over at Olivia whoâs sitting with her back turned to the rest of the table, pouting.
Tyler bursts out laughing, breaking some of the tension at the table, âHunter teach you that?â I canât help staring at the way his arm is draped casually over the back of Oliviaâs seat, his fingers tracing circles on her shoulder. She shrugs him off, but he goes right back to it as soon as sheâs still again. God, now Iâm being the creepy one. I force myself to look away and pretend to read the menu again.
âCole started it, weâve just continued it,â Katy explains. Tyler leans down and whispers in Oliviaâs ear. Out of the corner of my eye, I see her shoulders hunch up towards her ears, like sheâs fending him off, then relax as she straightens and turns to face him.
âCole started what? What does âdonât bee seeâ mean?â Lisa asks, as Tyler shows Olivia something on his phone screen. What is he showing her? I must look awful in the picture, thatâs why sheâs not mad anymore. Iâm desperate to know what it is and why he took it, but I canât bring myself to speak up. Even with Lisa nudging me in the ribs. I silently shake my head.
âIt means âDonât Be Creepyââ Katy explains. âItâs the rule when everyone is at our house, especially in the summer.â
âHang on. Are you showing Olivia?â Lisa interrupts. âIf Olivia gets to see, why canât we? At least show Hannah, itâs her picture.â Tyler doesnât say anything for a second. âSeriously Tyler, thatâs a dick move,â Lisa whispers across the table, not wanting the adults to hear her.
âOh my god, itâs not that big a deal.â Olivia yanks Tylerâs phone out of his hand to show us. Itâs a picture of me peering over the edge of the menu, my blue eyes wide and exaggerated from my stage makeup. Itâs actually kind of a cute picture of me. The menu is covering most of my face so all you really see is my eyes. Itâs in a text conversation, which is weirdâI donât want to read Tylerâs private conversations.
Hang on. Who is he texting my picture to?
I look up at the top of the screen and see that he sent it to Trevor.
Who hasnât responded.
Wait. What?
Olivia starts to pull the phone back when I see the three little gray dots pop up. My hand shoots out to grab her wrist before I think about what Iâm doing.
Trev: Dude, quit creepin on my girl.
His girl?
Chapter 17 Olivia
âHannah, earth to Hannah.â Hannah blinks her big blue eyes and glances down at the death grip she has on my wrist. She quickly lets go and I dump Tylerâs phone back in his hand before rubbing my wrist.
âWhy did you send my picture to Trevor?â she asks quietly.
âBecause heâs had a crush on you since January,â I blurt out before Tyler can say anything. Itâs the truth anyway. Tyler keeps complaining that his cousin has been bugging him about Hannah ever since Winter Break. In fact, thatâs why I made sure to tag her in that photo from the sleepover at her house. I figured Trevor would see it and could go stalk her Instagram and leave Tyler alone.
Just then, the waitress comes to take our order, by the time she leaves the conversation has turned to tomorrow and the ensemble competition. Ms. Parker pulls out her program and gets deep into conversation with Lisa and Hannah about who competed today, what ensemble pieces theyâll be in tomorrow and who might be the competition. YIGP awards only the top twelve dancers in classical and contemporary in each age division, everyone except Hannah is certain sheâll place in the top twelve for the senior division.
Tyler is busy shoveling food into his mouth which leaves me stuck at the end of the table with only Katy to talk to. She makes a point of ignoring me and methodically eats her plate of
