Why Her?

Part 8: The Guy

Arias POV:

I've never been this mad at Dante, it's as if he wants to annoy me. Maybe he's mad I keep brushing him off anytime he tries to ask me out on a proper date.

I stand up and march my way straight over to Jaimes bed. She stares up at me and cringes, her eyes piercing mine. She looks ridiculous.

"A friend from Herrington is coming up here, and I swear to god if you tell anyone and I mean anyone about this you don't even want to think about what I'd do to you."

My threats seem to do anything but change her demeanour as she narrows her eyes still cringing at my behaviour.

"Why in the world would I tell anyone, I'm not 12" She snaps shuffling away from me, I didn't realise how close we were.

"Also I could care less about your male friends, as long as I don't wake up to a naked guy in my room do whatever you want" Laughing she pulls out her phone and begins ignoring me.

"You seriously annoy the shit out of me" Before  I could finish there's a light tap on the dorms door.

It was Dante.

As he enters the room, awkwardly glancing back and forth between me and Jaime I roll my eyes. Taking a seat back onto my bed.

"Hey i'm Dante Arias friend" He slowly walks towards Jaime an outstretched hand searching hers to shake.

God guys can be weird.

She returns the gesture awkwardly smiling up at him "Jaime" Dante nods acting as if he hasn't heard her name around a hundred times before.

"Seriously Dante?" I stare at him and then back at my bed trying to get the message across.

"Oh, yeah" he awkwardly shuffles away from the entrance and jaime's bed.

"Sorry I came up here with no warning" he whispers
"I just wanted to see how this chick was bothering you so easily" okay?

"And I can see why, she's obviously very pretty to be honest she could be prettier then you" He teases, at least I'm assuming he is teasing me because there's no way he thinks that she could be prettier than me.

I take a glance over at her scrolling through her phone completely unaware I'm looking at her. I mean okay she isn't ugly, she does have very pretty eyes. but that in no way means she's more attractive than me.

"I'm joking stop staring" He laughs.

"I wasn't" Nudging him slightly I look down at my phone

6:00pm

"what time do you think you'll be heading out?" At this point I just wanted to be alone. From him, from my dad, from her.

"I can leave now if you want?" he says sharply placing his hands into his pockets.

Shit I didn't want to be mean to him.

"No I don't mean it like that.. It's just getting late."

He stands up adjusting his hoodie "No you're right, i'll message you later."

As he walks past jaime he smiles at her and says "It was nice meeting you have a good night"

"You too."

Jaime's POV;

Staring up at this random guy his hand outstretched made me severely uncomfortable.

I've never been a people person and having to deal with aria was already a lot I can't imagine what the guys that are attracted to her are like.

"Jaime" I respond smiling up at him.

Aria scolds him and he takes a seat with her.

They begin to whisper as if they weren't a metre and a half away from me.

I try and stop myself from eavesdropping but I can't help it. Dante seems to be apologising about showing up whilst she seems completely disinterested.

"She's could be prettier than you." Oh my god why is he talking about me like that. And to Aria now she's going to hate me even more.

"I'm joking stop staring" He laughs awkwardly and she denies even looking at me.

I roll over my stomach turning, you don't joke about someone being prettier then the self obsessed rich girl let alone to her face.

She ends up asking him to leave and we say goodbye.

That's when she returns her attention back to me
"Again if you tell anyone I will literally ruin you." She spat, but I could tell she wasn't angry at me but herself.

"Jesus christ do you ever shut up, it's like you want to be hated everywhere you go" Sitting up I stare at her in disgust. I don't know who she thinks she is but i'm not going to put up with her shit.

Her mouth opens as she tries to say something back to me but she freezes.

I laugh "yeah that's what I thought" Standing up I grab my phone off my bed, and a pack of cigarettes I had in my shoe before putting them on.

I need a break.
