My First Ever Love

Ch-26, Absent-Minded Kiara

Did Aiden really mean it? Does he like me like that? Oh god what will I do if he confess it to me? Not that I would say no. He has been with me through every trouble and even though we started our friendship on a bet, we have become kind of close to each other also I've not found any dirt on him except the rumours that I have started ignoring.

I don't want to end my friendship with him due to such feelings but I can't deny myself that I like him. Gosh...its so frustrating! Why did I have to pretend, if I had gotten up earlier I wouldn't have heard it. Its getting awkward now, even in the morning we didn't do our usual hug rather we just nodded at each other and then avoided the rest of our talk with our friends. I don-

"Ms. Jones" someone called my name and I jerked out of my seat. I looked up to find Mrs. Dakota glaring at me and the students laughing. Ugh! Not this

"If you find my class so boring, go and change your classes" Mrs. Dakota stated and I looked down in embarrassment. I apologized to her and she nodded her head still glaring, "I'll let it pass this once, pay attention from now" she warned and went back to teaching.

I quickly checked my posture and tried to give attention to the class. It was hard fighting with my mind to stop the thoughts but managed it nonetheless. The bell rang indicating the end of class and I rushed out, relieved to be out of that class.

I made it to the locker and leaned in to compose myself. At this pace, I think I'll get crazy I thought when I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jerked and turned around to find my friends laughing at me.

"What?" I asked.

"You were day dreaming on your locker" Dan said and I blushed in embarrassment.

"I wa-was not" I defended myself but it made them laugh harder and I sighed. No point in denying the obvious.

"Okay fine, I admit it. Now can we go to the cafetaria if you are done with your laughter cause I'm starving" I said and and moved past them to the cafetaria not waiting for their response as I know they will be coming anyways.

As soon as I found a seat to sit, I started eating my food to keep my mind away from thinking about him but it was of no use as Aiden sat beside me, still not looking at me while others also seated themselves. I ate awkwardly glancing at him every five minutes.

My mind started its torture keeping me busy with my thoughts again.

Why is he sitting near me?

Will he try conversing with me? And if he does, will I be able to act as if nothing happened?
Will he tell me that it was not tru-

"Kia, stop daydreaming will you?" Jules asked and I looked at my food at that. Everyone was looking at me.

"What is it? Are you not well? You've been like this for two days, always lost in your own world" Riley asked and I waved my hand indicating I was fine.
"Just a little head ache" she nodded and got back to eating and so did the others. Yeah, it's been two days since his half confession. *sighs*

I've always liked eating french fries with tomato ketchup so I extended my arm to take it but to be collided with Aiden's hand. Awkward!

I retreated my hand back letting him use it first but he also retreated his hand at the same time for me to take. I shrugged and reached out for the ketchup but was again met with Aiden's hand and we both pulled our hand back at the same time.

"Is this some sort of a game?" Dan asked amused while Jeremy chuckled who had also seen our little encounter. I groaned and denied it. Jeremy took the ketchup and poured it in both of our plates and placed it back.

"Aren't you both awfully quiet?" Blake asked and others nodded except Jules and Carrie who knew the reason.

"Did something happen between you two?" Jake further asked and I shook my head rather quickly. I don't know if they caught my lie or not but didn't comment much to my relief. I spent my lunch rather awkwardly and was the first one to stand when the bell rang.

"Um...I have to go to the washroom" I said awkwardly and sprint off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bell rang indicating that the school is over. I stood up and made my way to the locker to keep my unwanted books back. I closed my locker and made my way to home, Carrie and the others had gone for a coffee but I declined the offer as I needed to give break to my mind.

"Hey! Kia" I heard a familiar voice calling me and I turned around to be met with Aiden. What does he want now?

"Hi!" I all but squeaked out due to the situation we are in. He came closer and opened his mouth to speak.

"I know it's awkward between us because of that day but can you stop avoiding me. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable, it just happened. Could we go back to the way we were?"

I blinked my eyes for a while then spoke, "first of all, it's not only me who is avoiding you, we both are. Secondly, I don't know what to say." I sigh
What can I say to him, that I'm confused if he really meant it? Nah! I'll pass

"Is it because I confessed it to you? You don't have to worry, I won't talk about it even though I've wanted to know your answer since you heard me confess, but it's okay."

"D-do y-you really l-like me?" I stuttered out and avoided eye contact with him.

"Will you be mad if I say yes?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Okay then....yeah, I do like you. It was never my intention but we've been stuck together due to the stupid bet and you've kinda grown over me. But it's really fine if you don't feel the same. I won't force you to tell me, but at least let's go back to the way we were. Also, if you feel the same way about me will you tell me?"

He confessed, Shit! He confessed.
Should I run away? I opened my mouth to reply but was stopped by the ringing of my phone.
