After that excuse of a fight was over. Me, Jenna and Aires decided that we are going to talk and make plans in the creepy abandoned warehouse. Since Byron and Sam doesn't want to go anywhere near Aires, which is completely understandable since he did just call Byron a dog and well Sam, he just hates Aires in general.

 But his hate for Aires started in the beginning of high school, back when me Aires and Sam were actually very close and I had somewhat of a crush on Aires, but I never showed it. Well, that was until Aires started acting all weird around me. And his weird behavior continued for like a month, where he would just straight up ignore and avoid me, I mean he just looked at me and walked the other way. And then when I just got over my crush and stopped trying to talk to him, me and this one guy called Grey hit it off and started dating, but that's when he lost it ...and I mean like he just randomly called me a spoiled brat and a slut, and then he went full on hoe, like he started dating every girl that went to our school which makes him a hypocrite , but I actually am not a slut just for everyone's information. Anyway when me and Sam confronted him about it, he gave us some lame ass excuse like we are boring, and he wants friends who are actually interesting and not spoiled.

Now that we have our daily history recap, we can focus on what is actually happening. So, Aires just led us to this big rusty metal table and proceeded to pull out this huge ancient map. And to say its ancient is an understatement, like the thing is so torn and yellow, it's just disgusting.

Aires "Okay so here is the plan, I just take you all through the shield come back and then Isabelle over here can make another plan. Since she is just so independent."

Jenna " Aires seriously now is not the time for your sarcasm, and you know damn well that, that's not the plan or agreement that we had. Seriously Belle can't we just forget all of this and go home, what if your parents find out?"

Aires " What do you mean not the agreement? So, here's what you're saying, you think that not only do I have to get you through the shield, but I also have to be your fucking tour guide? "

"Jenna we are not backing out now, and what the hell why would you even suggest that you know how much this means to me."

Aires " okay lets forget about this sappy shit, and get back to the point do you expect me to be your tour guide? Because what the hell that was not the plan?"

"Exactly. See for a clueless boy you can catch the idea... well only after a detailed explanation. But at least you used your brain for something."

"And belle I'm sorry, I'm just scared that your parents will find out and I really think that this is a very bad idea."

"They won't and even if they do it will be too late for them to do anything about it."

"Okay, okay"  

My mind thinks a million paces per second and the sight of a pissed Aires finds my eyes. I study his body language carefully because what Jenna said could 'have offended him and he gets really aggressive when he is offended. My eyes trail down his body and back up, and just when my eyes meet his, this flash of aggression that clouded his body language takes hold of his posture and entire being, and all of the sudden a flash of red entered his eyes for like a split second if not even less. And I just knew that he was holding his composure and stopping himself from doing something stupid. Or maybe he is planning on something to say that will put Jenna in her place. Silence fills the air and not a single snarky or rude comment is made by him.

HUH, Aires holding back his snarky comments

 Now he has me all confused, I mean why?  He would never ever miss an opportunity as valuable as this, especially not one where he could tell Jenna off. But why would he hold back, I mean it just doesn't make any sense, and it's not because he is a nice person. Because he is most definitely not.

Anway, when I finally got over my confusion and the both of them stopped death staring each other, we continued making plans and checking what locations we are going to use and how we are going to get there, for roughly 4 hours. Until we all got tired and decided that it would be best to just go sit in the car. And believe it or not but Aires is in the car with us now...and he is next to me. Well maybe I'm overthinking it since I was chosen to sit in between Sam and Aires, because as they said, "girls are smaller than guys and they need more space", which is obviously true but that does not mean that I want to sit in the middle. I feel how the immediate rush of heat goes to my face and fills my body with nervousness after noticing how close we are to each other.

I draw my eyes off of my lap and get myself to look at him, and he looks just as ...well he just looks uncomfortable, I guess. Whatever forget it, I don't even know why I reacted that way but maybe I'm possessed.

I snap my eyes away from him and we all just sit like that in awkward positions, while start to very briefly explain the plan that me, Aires and Jenna agreed on to everyone and how we are going to make our way to the shield. And that Aires has to activate it for us to go through and then once we go through it, we are going to end up in Queen Freya of Lunaris's kingdom. But to be honest I don't know what we are going to do after that.

I know it's a mouthful.
