Stole my heart (An Aruden au) [UNDER EDITING]

-Chapter 2-

Aiden POV

Last day of school

Ok, ok. I'll admit it. Maybe, coming to school two days before the holidays start was a bad idea but we moved here for fresh start and I just wanted to..........get settled. Today's the last day and not a single friend to meet over holidays but I am apparently 'popular'? And a girl named Poppy is all over me. At one point, I wanted to scream "Back off and let me breathe" but I can't. You know, polite and gentleman and all that mannerisms. Currently we have History going so better be early and focus then think about..........the divorce. The reason I had to start over.

Upon entering, I immediately sat next to Brynne. Ok so I lied. I had one, just one friend. After finding out I was moving, Brynne refused to go to our previous school since we are childhood friends cause her uncles and my so called 'father' were close. Her uncles were awesome don't get me wrong but my dad was.......not awesome. Anyways, Brynne and I were really close as in brother-sister close so she moved after her uncles convinced their company for transferring. Very sweet, I know. Her mother abandoned her soo we ended up like this. We talk (it's about how dosa is not better than idly... like seriously how can Brynne think that dosa is better?) until class starts. History here is better than I thought

After 10 minutes, a girl enters the class and gets Saturday detention. Ouch. After a while, Mr. Brunner starts asking multiple choice questions with two options. TWO!?! Like what are we in kindergarden? Anyways he eventually ends up to detention girl who I realize live opposite to my house as I saw her in the morning. Upon closer examination (A/N: Damn that sounds so professional) I saw how pretty she was with dark, flawless brown skin and dark and lush hair done neatly in a braid. Other than that she wore a comfortable hoodie and skinny jeans.

Brynne hits my rib with her elbow and grins

"Staring are we, Acharya?" She whispers smugly

"No, it called observation, something that you severely lack" I shot back

"Sure, ammamma. You tell yourself that" She smirked and I glared at her.

Then I realize the girl was having what seems to be a serious conversation with Mr. Brunner

"And the answer Ms. Shah?" Mr. Brunner asks, sounding bored as if he did this a thousand times. Which he probably did

"Uhhhh, 1526" she stammered but appeared confident

"That is correct. Thank you, Ms. Shah." Mr. Brunner says as though he did not care

Wow. She did not seem the type who would study. I'm not gonna judge, she might not study or she might. That's none of my business but I couldn't think of what would happen if, IF I befriend her. It wont be the end of the world sooo it can't hurt right?

By the time I thought about all this, the bell rang and the detention girl ran out. I should really think of a different name for her.

'Pretty girl?' my mind unhelpfully chided

'No not pretty girl' I fought with my own mind

'Lovely girl?'

'Nooo!'

'You are awful'

'N- ohh um wait what?' How am I fighting with my mind? Like am I using my mind to fight with my mind? How does that work? Like- ok my mind hurts. Psychology is definitely not on my job list.

I sighed and went to my other classes

-------------------------------Time Skip-----------------------------------------

Throughout the day, I tried to talk to the - um – history class girl but couldn't

Giving up, I started walking home

Somehow though luck was on my side cause SHE bumped into ME and she looked really cute with her earphones and hoodie on hiding her braid. CUTE DOES NOT MEAN I HAVE TO LIKE HER. It can mean like a 'ohh look, she's cute, she could be my friend way'. DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. I CAN CALL – UM – UHH BRYNNE CUTE. YA. BRYNNE IS CUTE. EWW NO. I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T. Nor can I explain it so back off.

"Sorry" she mumbled which I found interesting (in a very friendly type way)

"No prob. My name's Aiden. Aiden Acharya. You are the girl who live opposite to me, right?" I asked, mentally slapping myself. No prob? Who says that nowadays

"Aiden Acharya? Like 'Famous in one day dude'?" She says, looking a teeny, tiny bit shocked

Laughing, I reply "Maybe, and who is the very observing person in front of me?"

"Bond, James Bond" she says quickly then realizes what she said and widens her eyes and gets flustered while I laugh hysterically. That was something I never thought I'd hear

"Uh-huh sure. And real name being?" I ask after I calm down

"How do you know that's not my real name" She asks smugly

"Because I know for a fact that nobody, especially one who owns a museum would name their daughter James Bond" I say, very happy with the way I answered.

She rolled her eyes before answering which looked really adorable. "Shah, Aru Shah"

"There, that makes more sense" I say, smirking, cause I clearly won my way through to get her name.

"Well, I got to go so byeee Mr. Popular" She says a bit to my disappointment. Keyword being 'bit'

"Bye Ms. Bond" I say, feeling good about the quick comeback. She, like an obvious adult stuck her tongue at me which caused me to chuckle

I go home and think about the encounter I had with history gi – no with Aru. Nice name. It rolls right off the tongue. Well at least I finally have a sorta friend. I think the sticking her tongue at me put me in the clear category of friend. Right? I'll have to ask Brynne

Ohh Brynne. She won't let me hear the end of it

"Ace-cakes, you home?" my mom shouts and I roll my eyes at the nickname

"Yes mom" I say and go to my room. Shadowfax was waiting for me to take it out of my bag and click pics. I look out my window for picture worthy surroundings. Just then Aru came into sight from her window with her hair down falling down below her shoulders and she seemed to be cleaning her room. I took a pic, it's not like she'll ever know and then her door rang and her eyes widened. She opened her door to another short girl who seemed to be from out school. They go to her bedroom and start talking while I try to avert my gaze and took other pics but after what seems to be 2 hours I look into her bedroom again to see her in........Spiderman pj's? What?
