Truly, Madly, Deeply I am, Foolishly completely falling.

Chapter 4: Jealous

Matias

After our class ended, I saw Aurora talking with Mason. I could tell she was mad.
Why is she so mad? What did that bastard do to her?! .
I suddenly felt very protective of her, I couldn't help it. Without me knowing I was already walking towards her.
But I stopped when Mason grabbed her wrist and took her away. I felt like my whole body was paralyzed with anger.
How dare he touch her.
I was furious, I tried to calm down, thinking it was none of my business and that I was exaggerating. But it didn't help.
I followed them into the courtyard. I saw them together, I heard what they said. I couldn't bring myself to step in and take her away from him. I was helpless. I was afraid of what it would mean if I did that, I was afraid she would know, and everything would change. I was in love with her.

Aurora

In class...
Lord Jesus. Why didn't I keep my mouth shut? I pondered. I couldn't believe that I lost my temper, and embarrassed myself. I bet he thinks I'm a psycho.
Ugh, why why why.
What's the professor saying? I can't even concentrate. Why did my heart feel like it was burning, and beating so fast? What's going on with me?
Get your mind together Aurora. Focus on your studies
I can't be slacking,  my parents are working hard to be able to afford this school, and I should show my appreciation by getting good grades, and working hard. I need to show them that their money wasn't being wasted. I need to make them proud, it was my job as their only daughter. Feeling now motivated, I started to focus, and took notes.

Matias

I couldn't take my eyes off her(picture above). She looked like there something bothering her. I knew who she was thinking about. I envied him, not only for the way he affected her, but the way he made her think about him. I made up my mind, I was going to take pride for my feelings toward her, I was going to fight for her. I wouldn't forgive myself I didn't do anything about my feelings. I wouldn't forgive myself if I let a girl like her go.
I can't let him be in her house alone, I have to make up a excuse to be there. I don't trust him with her.

Aurora

Thank god, class is over. I only have to go to one more class and I can go home. My heart started to pound at the thought of Mason waiting for me after class to go to my house.
Not again, don't you get tired?
I walked to my locker when I saw Matias waiting for me there.
Me: "Hey, are you waiting for me so we can go to class together?" I said with a smile.
Matias always gave me peace of mind.
Matias: "I sure am" he said with reassuring smile.
He always find a way to make me feel better.
Me: "I'm glad you're here, I need to talk to you" I said looking down.
Matias: "What is it?" He said with a serious expression.
Me: "You know how Mason is my partner right?, and how I wasn't happy with the way he treated me right?"
Mason: "Yeah..." He said looking down on me.
Me: "Well I confronted him, and he wants us to do the work together! Haha....but I was expecting us to be working on it at school. But, it turns out he's going to be coming over my house to work on it..." I said expecting a mad reaction. I knew Matias was going to be mad because he's very protective, he doesn't like it when I hang out with guys by myself. He's like an older brother.
Matias: "I'll go with you." He said looking away.
Me: "Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion.
Matias: "I'll go with you and Mason after school" He said looking at me with a serious expression. "I need your help with my English assignment".
Me: "Are you s-" He interrupted before I could finish my sentence with a strong tight hug.
Oh
For some reason, it felt different then his normal hugs. I could feel desire and loneliness.
Matias: "Just let me come with you" he said with his voice breaking down.
Maybe something happened?
I was worried, but all I could think about doing was hugging him back.
Me: "Let's go class" I said while hugging him.
Matias: "Yeah." He said letting me go.

Mason

Where is she? She usually comes to class earlier than this.
Then, I saw her walk in with Matias. When I saw her with him, I felt like my body was burning with raging fire.
The smile, she held toward him made furious. I can only make her mad...
I want to make her smile
What am I thinking?!
Snap out of it, she's too weird for me. I like easy going girls, I'm not into feisty.

Aurora

When I walked inside the classroom I saw Mason starting at me, like he was expecting me.
I blushed at the thought, but there was no way. He waiting for me? No, he was probably just looking at the door because he was eager to leave. I would be too. He's early today though, he usually comes later than this...
I decided not to make a big deal out of it, and focused on the work that was in front of me.
Later on in class, I glanced at Mason and caught him looking at me. He immediately looked away, as did I.
My heart was beating fast, I don't know if it was because of the fact he was looking at me, or because of the way he was looking at me. What was that about? Why was he staring at me?

Mason

Dammit!
She caught me staring at her! Why was I even looking at her?!
She is so bothersome!
I shouldn't have gotten involved with her, I should have changed my partner.
Wait, what am I so afraid of? She's just a girl. I'm over thinking.
I can't wait to leave. I need to go to her house and get this anxiety over with.
Why do I feel so damn nervous?!

Aurora and Mason.

He is so frustrating!
She is so frustrating!
