Broken Strings

Things are looking up......

Me and Aaron are now paired. For class work. Nothing else. It was fun, he made jokes about the task and also did this really cool magic trick, some jokes were really rubbish but it seemed funny at the time so I just laughed. The way he talks to me feels so welcoming.  We sat and tested each other on our Spanish, he was a pro at Spanish, is it wrong to find that hot? I noticed Vanessa giving the evil eyes, she had been doing that the entire double lesson, I stopped caring after a while, and I felt safe around Aaron so I couldn’t care less.

Just after the school bell went the teacher explained how our partner was now our permanent partner for the semester. She explained how its for a project and we may have to go to each others house for the project. Now I was in panic mode, Aaron can’t come to my house. Not when my dad’s home anyway, mum never comes out of her room so she wont notice but I can’t bring him to my nasty house. What the hell am I going to do? Shit! I need to come up with something quick!

‘Sweet! Hey we’re partners for the entire semester, its gonna awesome! Plus you should count yourself lucky. You’ve only got the best person in school to work with!’ sarcastically and joyfully said Aaron. At least someone was happy.

‘Come on, lets go to lunch? Mind if I hang out with you? See im the new kid and im also Billy no mates at the moment!’ asked Aaron,

‘Erm…’ I looked over at Alice and Ollie with a questioned face, the nodded and smiled.

‘Sure, you can hang around with us but on one condition, you gotta teach me how to do that magic trick. Deal?’ ‘Deal, and I also gotta go basketball tryouts, would you, Alice and Ollie mind watching and waiting for me?’ Asked Aaron, the look on his face made him look as if he was embarrassed about being a basket ball player. ‘Sure, why would we mind watching sweaty boys run around with a smelly ball? Ha-ha… Should be fun!’ I replied sarcastically. ‘And by the way, please don’t mistake me for one of those jockey jerks! Im nothing like them, don’t worry, I mean I burp and stuff but I ain’t cruel’ Aaron had a worried look to his face. ‘Woah, you look like your gonna faint, don’t worry, I know you ain’t a jerk, calm your ass, its okay’ I bravely replied.

‘What?! I must already be growing on you, your not being shy and quiet anymore! Hallelujah!’

As they walked and I limped into the canteen, all the girls in the canteen looked our way and I watched their jaws drop to the floor. Aaron successfully drew all the attention to him unknowingly. To make it worse he innocently flipped his fringe to the side, he didn’t do it purposely for the girls but it still got their attention. After that flip I swear two girls fainted. Most of the school already knew his name, the ones that didn’t know his name called him “the hot one” it was weird.

Vanessa pushed her body onto Aaron as though she didn’t see him, what a tramp? Innocently, Aaron pushed her away from him and asked if she was okay. Slag.

‘Oh hey guys, fancy bumping into you Aaron, what are you up to? Do you want to come and sit with us? We sit over there on the large table, only the cool people sit there’ she said pointing at the popular table and then looking at us in disgust. Bitch.

‘Erm…Na, I think I’ll sit here with Arianna, Alice and Ollie, oh and they’re really cool to, see ya around Vanessa.’

Aaron said as he pushed past her, wow! Aaron just talked back to Vanessa and pushed past her! Aaron to Vanessa!

As we sat down on the table Alice quickly questioned ‘Aaron, did that just happen? Did you really just do that? To Vanessa? What the fuck! That was incredible!’ I laughed a little, Aaron smiled, Alice was in shock and Ollie looked scared. ‘Hey, you okay Ollie?’ Being Aaron he asked worryingly, ‘what the fuck have you done?!  What if she comes after us, she’s gonna come and beat us all up, shit! We’re all gonna die!’ ‘Ollie, breath, its okay, she wont come after us, I can guarantee it okay’ Aaron said reassuringly. It worked as well; Ollie seemed to have trusted Aaron’s words.
