Cerion's POV
"Yeah, sure." I answered.
Before Aria could say any word, the bell rang, signifying that it's already dismissal.
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?" Aria hit me on my arms.
"Say what? That the role's okay for me? Of course I would say things like that; it's my decision to agree." I said.
"Now I don't have a choice but to act with you." Aria complained.
"Excuse me! Mr. Fletcher announced that the play will be done as a short film!" Caitlyn announced.
"Gosh, it does more work than a play!" Aria complained, once again.
"Aria, can you stop complaining?" I said. "It's for our grades, you know?"
"Fine!" she said then proceeds to organise her things, ready to go home.
I also picked up my notebook and pen, putting them in my bag. I almost forgot; I have some errands to run. My mum will be mad if I'm not able to buy some of the goods she listed.
"Hey, bro, you goin' home?" Xander asked.
"Yeah, why?" I asked. Don't tell me they are about to invite me for club.
"Well, wanna join us? Just to have some fun, you know?" he said. Saw that coming, Cas said that Xander's a kind of dude who's always at the club drinking.
"No thanks, bro, got some errands." I declined his invitation.
"Bro, can I talk to you for a moment?" James approached me. What's wrong with these dudes?
"Yeah, sure, what's the matter, man?" I asked.
"Why are you trying to get close with Aria?" he asked me.
"Bro, what?" I'm confused. What is he talking about?
"You're now happy that you're in the same group as Aria." he added.
"What the hell is your problem, James? Do you have any issues with me?" I asked him.
"HEEYYYY! Too loud, boys! Are you guys fighting because of Aria?" Cas tried to stop us. I can see Aria watching us.
"None of your business, Cas. Just watch your actions, Cerion." James said, then walked away.
What the hell is going on with that man? Geez, I'm not even doing anything. Is he jealous of me? Damn, man, what a waste.
"I'm sorry about his behaviour, Cerion." Aria apologised. I don't get the point of Aria apologising for him.
"Why are you the one to apologize? Shouldn't it be James to ask for an apology? " I said.
"James has this high pride, so there's no apology coming from him." she said.
"You going home?" I asked her.
"Yeah, why?" she answered.
"Nothing; take care." I said.
She smiled as a response and went out of the room. Is it really her?
