Aria's point of view
I keep hearing rumors about Charles, they say he's kissed every girl in school except one... Apparently he had a crush on her and supposedly still does... Why does this concern me so much though?
I hate the constant whispering. I get it, I'm different. I get it. Charles hangs around me frequently. It doesn't matter
"I heard Charles has kissed every girl but this one girl Kiana in class 1-D, isn't that weird?" I keep overhearing stupid popular squids in the halls...
"That's because he had a crush on her in 3rd grade! He hasn't kissed her yet because he is still crushing on her obviously!" I don't care about Charles, so why do these rumors bother me so much?
I hear footsteps behind me and Charles' voice calling out my name. I turned around to face him.
"Aria!!! Kiana invited me to participate in a turf war, do you wanna come too?" He looked so excited...
"No." I said flatly
"Why not?" He looked so disappointed, I felt kinda bad...
"I'm busy today." I lied, I had nothing going on after school today.
"Oh... Okay then..." He walked off, the bell rang signifying the end of the day and I left with my bookbag slung over my shoulders, quickly walking back home.
Charles' point of view
I wonder why she turned down the offer, I thought for sure she would come with, but there is a lot I don't know about Aria yet, so who knows...
I walked out of the school with Kaia and a few others and headed to the Lobby, nothing beats a good turf war sometimes, but I can't shake this nagging feeling that I have deep inside... Did I do something to make Aria mad? Maybe that's why she didn't want to come...
During the middle of the turf war I was standing back to back with Kiana, it looked like we were losing.
"Hey Charles, I heard you kissed every girl in the school except me, even that Aria kid."
"Rumors are rumors Kiana, I can't stop them from spreading." Why is she even bringing this up?
"I also heard that you had a crush on me, so why don't we exit to the lobby and have some fun?~"
"It's not that appealing to me Kiana..." Why is she even..?
"Aww, c'mon Charles! It'll be fun~"
Aria's point of view
Why am I even doing this? I don't care about him, so why do I feel so curious about what is happening, what if Kiana is winning Charles over at that turf war? Oh no... Get a hold of yourself Aria, keep it together...
I had changed into a dark green hoodie and black skinny jeans, I had on a beanie and glasses and put on a pair of green sneakers before heading out, sitting in a more untouched area of the lobby, why did I come anyways?
I noticed Charles come out and I hid behind some crates, but he must've seen me because he came over there
"Aria? What's with the get up?"
Damn it...
"Uh... You aren't with Kiana are you?"
"No I ditched them when I got bored."
I felt relieved for a moment before my mind lingered back to the rumors.
"Is it true that you have kissed all but one girl in the school?"
I will get my answer, otherwise I won't have any closure.
"Rumors are rumors"
"But is it?! And did you have a crush on Kiana?"
"Kiana was my first crush, but I don't think that the rumor is true."
I stared at him for a long moment and then he kissed me. I felt his lips pressed against mine and it felt wonderful and terrible at the same time, I started tearing up and then shoved him away.
"Aria?"
"Why'd you kiss me?!"
"Because I felt like it."
I was on the verge of tears, wiping my eyes
"You just can't do that... Kiss girls without their permission... Just because you felt like it, it hurts people!" I was so mad and sad and frusterated all at the same time...
"You can't do that! I am not happy with kisses without meaning! SCREW YOU!"
He stared at me for a bit... Before he kissed me yet again, and I tried to push him away but I couldn't, he mananged to push me up against a wall
"That was a kiss instead of saying hello..."
"N-no..!"
Another kiss
"And that was a kiss for someone I think is cute..."
Another kiss
"That was a kiss for an inkling I want to know better..."
And another
"And that was for feelings I have for the person infront of me... I have plenty more kisses but do you understand the difference? Are you in love with me Aria?"
I feel so fuzzy inside and I don't even know how I feel yet really... But whenever he looks me straight I'm the eye and talks to me...
"If you don't say anything, I'll kiss you for real, Aria."
...it makes me feel so happy, so very very happy...
"Wh-when I think about you... It makes my heart hurt..."
"I wonder... if that isn't what it is to be in love Aria?"
And then he gave me what he called a serious kiss, it was amazing...
