Aria's P.O.V
The way he turns me just a gives me a rush of excitement. Eren just smiles every time I come back around to face him. Does he feel the same way I'm feeling? Is it just me getting tired from dancing like an out of control robot? His smile melts my whole body just by looking at him.
"Hey Aria!"
I stop turning and took out my earbuds to see who said my name. When I see Will waving enthusiastically at me, I just give a slight smile of embarrassment. He walks over while Eren is standing by my side. The way Will looks at me and the way Eren smiles at me means something. "Hey Aria, may I have this dance?" Will says, bowing to me. When I don't respond he takes it as a yes and grabs my hand and twirls me around.
We dance, but it's not as fun compared to Eren and I dancing. Before I can say something, my flip flop gets stuck between a crack in the floor. Eren hops down to my rescue and tries to pull it out. It doesn't budge. Will tries but it doesn't work either."On 3," Eren says and Will nods. "1...2...3!" They pull as hard as they can. Will's elbow hits my forehead and I slip out of my flip flop. I fall backwards hold my forehead hoping it would stop the pain.
Before I know it I'm in the swimming pool at the bottom of the deep end. I freak out as I transform into my tail. Compressing my body against the wall, I glance up to see Eren's head looking down. He commotions to me to come back up. My tail gives a powerful kick and I'm already at the surface, face to face with him. We just look at each other for what seems like forever, or 10 seconds.
"I um told him that you might be embarrassed about falling in and that I would help you." Eren helps pull me out of the pool.
I smile,"Thank you very much." It was great to have a friend who knew my secret. My eyes look at his wet shoes and follow up his legs and to his body. He grabs a towel and begins to start whipping my tail dry. My cheeks blush as I make eye contact with him. Gosh he's so cute.
