I pause a moment to actually gather what I was going to say here. Obviously I'm going to tell some truth, as he opened to me, but I couldn't reveal everything. No way. If I revealed it, it wouldn't be forgotten and it needs to be forgotten.

'Erm..' I mutter, giving me even more time to comprehend my thoughts and form some coherent sentences. 'So..my mother and father got divorced when I was 13 and I took it pretty bad. My pops wanted to come to America and expand his business but my mum didn't want to leave her life she already had in the UK. I wanted to go with my dad, but after a 6 month court case,my mother got full custody and that's when my 'rebellion years' or 'badass phase', whatever you want to call it happened. At first it was just a way to get back at my mum for not letting me go with pops, but then I realised that if I pushed her buttons she'd eventually get so fed up she'd send me as punishment..which she eventually did' The scowl that was originally on my face from thinking of my mother was replaced by a small smile as I remember some of the memories I had, whilst being badass. Isaac however, is studying my facial expressions clearly trying to peice the puzzle that is Aria West together.

'Okay, first question, how come your transcript is so perfect if you rebelled? An secondly, what was the final straw?' He asks with a look of interrogation and interest in his eyes.

'I kept my school life out of it, mainly because I can't go to dance school without a pretty much perfect record.. That was also going to be my second option as a get away because you room there. And as for the final straw, that's a story for another day Isaac dear' even though I say another day, that day will never come as I will never repeat that story. I shiver just thinking about it.

Isaac opens his mouth to speak but is cut off by the tone of my phone ringing. Seeing that it was Holly, I signal Isaac to silence before answering.

Gosh, that girl can sure worry, turns out Caylen told her we never showed up to maths and she started to freak. Her exact words were 'I thought you two were kidnapped and murdered', drama queen or what. However after ensuring her that we were alive and not kidnapped but just at my house, she calmed, well until she began freaking that Isaac and I were together. Amongst all the squeals though, I did manage to speak to Caylen who must've been with Hols and he said they had a sub for maths so after a quick 'gone to the nurse' cover story, the sub marked us in and my perfect attendance was still intact. For that I owe him, as I still have my hopes set for dance school and with wanting to know this story I had completely forgot that I was actually ditching school. Caylen also managed to get Holly to stop squealing and agreeing to calling me later, that guy.. Lifesaver I tell you.

It's a few hours later and me and Isaac have just been relaxing and getting to know each other. I have to admit, it's been pretty fun and I don't think we've stopped laughing. As my dad wouldn't be here, Isaac decided to stay for pizza, and now we are sat sharing a cheese pizza whilst watching reruns of Gossip Girl. My choice of show, but he is so enjoying it.

I do often wonder how amazing life would be if I was in the Upper East Side, like seriously? Their lives are just goals.

Once we were both full from pizza, Isaac decided it was probably best he left as it was getting left and frankly I was ready for bed, it had a been a long day and I was still feeling close to the walking dead after last night.

'I've really enjoyed this impromptu evening Aria, and I owe you for the pizza' Isaac grins.

'Me too, I'm glad we got to know each other a bit better and too right you do' nodding my head in agreement.

After letting out a giggle we are both stood by the door in silence, are eyes locked together and a smile spread across both our faces. My heart flutters as I can see Isaac edging closer and without hesitation I lean in too, suddenly our lips collide and begin moving in sync. Like I've said, I'm not exactly inexperienced but I still get nervous around these things, clearly I don't need to worry though as my tongue follows Isaac's lead in deepening the kiss and as his hands snake their way to my waist, my hands find their way to the back of his neck. Before things get too heated though I pull away and after both regaining a normal breathing rate, I open the door before smirking 'you sure know how to say good bye Isaac'

'Sarcastic as always' he smirks back before leaving.

I close the door and lean back onto it. What. just. happened. Today has just been so strange and my feelings are now all over the place. I felt something during that kiss, it wasn't just one of the those empty kisses, it was sweet and a pathetic way to put it, but just nice.

It was 6:00pm and I was in a pair of floral cotton shorts and one of my One Direction tour tops, ie - my pyjamas, and was tucked up in bed. Pops still wasn't home but to be honest I'm not planning on staying awake much longer, the only thing stopping me entering a dream state right now is my mind. My crazy, jumbled mind. I mean, did Isaac just kiss me in the heat of the moment? Or did he feel something? Do I feel something? Or am I just too caught up in this new life that I'm mistaking what feelings actually are? I know that something was there, a spark maybe, and with a little ignition probably more. So for now I'll settle with it being a little crush. If tomorrow Isaac seems fine then I'll let the crush die out and realise it was nothing but a fun kiss, however if something happens and Isaac feels something too then I'll kick up my flirting game and see where it goes.

Satisfied with my little 'mind diagnosis', I close my eyes and within seconds, I'm out like a light.
