Not Your Average Nerd

Mountains

"You're completely insane if you think I'm going there with you guys." I say, leaning back in my chair. Fiona leans towards me. "Oh come on, Aaron! It's spring break! And what better way to spend spring break than going to the mountains with all your friends?"

I roll my eyes and look at my brother. "You support this?" He shrugs and smiles, holding up Fiona's hand that was locked with his. "She wants to go, so I'm all for it."

I roll my eyes. "Doesn't matter. You said you were bringing Aiden. If he's going, then I'm not."

Fiona sighs, the lilt in her voice gone. "Please? I swear Aiden will be out of the way. He won't bother you."

"Why is he going anyways?" I ask. She sighs and rubs her neck. "Well my mom was the one who gave me the tickets and.... She got them from his dad. Aiden said that he had been looking forward to this trip since Winter and I can't just tell him he can't go."

"You're right. You can't. Which is why I'm staying here all week. For one, I won't be in some cold ass place three hours away from here. And two, I will be clear of Aiden."

Fiona let go of Andrew's hand and placed them over mine, giving me sad eyes. "Oh please, Aaron! I'll do anything! I want to spend this spring with all my friends! And Lucas will be there. So you won't have to face Aiden alone."

I sigh and shake my head. "This is ridiculous... Who else is going?"

"Drake, Andrew, me, Lucas, Aiden, Riley, and hopefully you."

"So Scarlet isn't going?" She shakes her head, her eyes getting wide. She looks at me like she had just seen a ghost. "Are you crazy?! Why would I invite that bitch!? She's Looney. Besides, nobody likes her but-" Fiona clapped a hand over her mouth. We all three knew what she was about to say. Nobody likes Scarlet but Aiden. What she doesn't realise is that things like that don't bother me anymore. Hearing his name, or people talking about him and Scarlet does nothing. Granted, I can't look him in the eye or him in general but hearing his name doesn't kill me.

"But who? Aiden? Yea I know. Just shows how stupid he is." Fiona and Andrew share a look. And I don't even want to bother to try and see what it's about. In the back of my mind, I probably know. But I don't give enough shits to do anything.

"Please, Aaron. We can't go on this trip without you."

I don't know why she wants me there. I would just have a bad attitude the whole time. I wouldn't have any fun. And most of all, I would hate everyone. Espically Aiden. He's such a fucking bastard. I don't even want to see his face.

But Fiona really wants me to go...

I sigh. "Fine," I point at her. "But if anyone gets killed on this trip. You're taking the blame." She laughs and runs around the table, pulling me in a hug. "Thank you so much Aaron! Now everyones going!"

Yay.

Wide awake, my mistake so predictable
You were fake, I was great nothing personal

I'm walking, who's laughing now?
(Who's laughing, who's laughing now?)
I'm wasted, wasting time
You talk for hours but you're wasting lines
A pretty face but the chase ain't worth the prize
