Miss Invisible and Mr. Popular

13. Aaron

I'm a genius. I swear I'm a genius. Y'all saw what I did right there my dear neurons. I made Adrey real! I can't believe it.

"I'm impressed." I hear someone say beside me. That someone is Selena and of course I can't help but smile. She had so little faith in my plan and it worked out perfectly.

"Don't underestimate me again Selena, I don't recommend it."

"Oh really now you feel like such a big deal with that big brain of yours. A better thing to say would be never underestimate the power of movies." She really got me there.

"Well the goal was to make Adrey come true and we did it, that's what counts."

"Adrey?" She asks with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yeah, it's Annabeth's and Andrey's ship name." I explain feeling a blush on my cheeks. She must think I am weird.

"That's....cute. I hadn't thought about it." She says and looks at me with a smile on her face. She has a cute smile not going to lie. When she smiles her eyes get smaller than usual and they have a little shine in them I'm starting to get used to seeing towards me now.

The moment suddenly gets awkward. There's an uncomfortable silence between us and we're just standing there looking at each other. I get lost looking at her eyes and suddenly as if we were the only ones on earth and we had a magnetism of our own I feel drawn to her. My eyes look down at her lips and I feel her do the same. However nothing is perfect because we suddenly hear screams coming from a certain person with a British accent.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! I cannot believe it. Andrey and Annabeth are finally together."

"Yes Cleo, we've noticed. Did Andrey tell you something when he saw you?" I hear Selena ask.

"He did, he said, 'I can't wait till you pay for this'."

"Ok let's go find him."

"Aaron, did you hear the rumor that has spread to all the student population in THA?" I hear Amber ask me during our last class.

"Yes, is it really true? Are they together?"

"Life isn't fair. How come Andrey put his eyes on her and not on me, look at the differences between both of us."

Ugh! I'm really tired of listening to his type of comments. Ever since lunch ended and Annabeth and Andrey had their happily ever after this is everything everyone talks about. Jealousy has no limits. They can't see anyone truly happy because they immediately start disapproving of it and judging anything that doesn't go with them.

"Yes, it's true, Annabeth and Andrey are now in a relationship and in my opinion life is fair to those who deserve it. Annabeth is a sweet girl who always hid her beauty because she was busy earning good grades and helping others. On the other hand Andrey was always getting in trouble not because he hurt the unprotected but because he hurt those that harmed the ones who had no one to stand up for them. Together they found strength and the harmony of their passions. I would take the risk to say that none of you will find that, if you only guide yourself by the superficial ways of thinking you are used too."

After saying that I left everyone's mouth shut and stood and left. Once outside I hear a voice say:

"Thank you."

"Your welcome, it's the least I could do if I didn't intervene, you fools would still be ignoring the love you professed to each other."

"I know I know and like you helped me I will help you."

"Help me with what Annabeth, my grades? Those don't have any solution, I already asked professor Mills."

"Mr. Mills dislikes your attitude in his classes. He is a firm believer that really success comes within the way one finds solutions and the only way you know how to do that is by cheating," she says accusingly, "however I'm pretty sure that if I asked him to give you one more chance and maybe even assign you a tutor he'll be willing to do so."

"And by tutor I suppose you mean yourself."

"No."

"No?"

"Yes, no, shall I remind you I now have a boyfriend I need to spend time with."

"Oh, how did I not think of the consequences before putting my plan to action. If having a boyfriend means I will no longer be your priority then I recommend you to break up with him."

"Aaron I will still be your friend and I'll be there in the good and bad but I will no longer spend more time with you than with Andrey. Remember what you used to tell me. Best friends are like stars. You don't always see them but they're always there."

"Yes I remember, come over here," I say while I hug her, "who will be my tutor then?"

"I was thinking about Selena. She has the third highest grade in Algebra after me and Andrey."

"Sounds good. Selena seems to tolerate me now."

"Ok then now that things are solved I'll head home. Oh and Aaron?"

"Yeah."

"When I said I'll help you. I meant I'm helping you find your own happiness."
