I continued texting Sami. I started to feel something. I think I was starting to like Sami..
Sami: Honestly I REALLY liked you
You: Thanks :)
Sami: On a scale of 1-10 how much do you like me?
You: 7
Sami: What about Aria?
You: 7
I felt bad. I knew for a fact that Aria broke the scale. But I also felt bad because now Aria knew that I liked Sami.
When I got home I hopped into my pajamas and fell on my bed. At that point I was texting both Aria and Sami. What have I gotten myself into. I shouldn't have said anything about Sami. I should've said that I liked Aria.
Sami: Who do you like more? Aria or me?
You: You.. I've known you longer.
Fuck...
You: I'm sorry. I like Sami a bit more.
Aria: Wow. Thanks. I was having a good day too..
You: I'm so sorry.. Maybe we could be friends.
Aria: Yea.. Sure..
Son of a fucking bitch... Why did I go to that party? If I didn't go, none of this would've happened. I sat there staring at the loft bed looming over me. My room was dark. A feint glow of a near by lamp post barely lit up my room. I was debating whether or not to keep talking to either of them. I didn't want to fuck up anything else. But I kept talking. Things got worse. I found out that Sami already had a boyfriend. The second she mentioned it I started to lose interest in her. But it was very slowly. School approached and I found myself standing with Sami. Why was I doing this? School ended and I hopped on the bus, slumped down and listened to my music. The week flew by. Each day I stood with Sami. Each day I lost interest. Then one day on the bus I saw Aria.
"Aria!" I yelled. She turned around and waved. I waved back and smiled. The bus drove past houses and plains of grass. Eventually dropping us off at the bus stop. I walked home with my headphones in, blasting music. My phone buzzed again.
Aria: I didn't know you rode my bus.
You: Neither did I xD
You: Hey. We should start sitting by each other. It would give us time to talk and know each other more.
Aria: Yea. Maybe.
You: I'm still sorry about the whole thing with Sami.
Aria: Don't be. You like her more. I never had a chance anyway.
You: Don't say that. I still like you.. Just not as much as I like Sami...
That was a lie. I was starting to like Aria a lot more. I didn't want to deal with the drama of having Sami cheat on her boyfriend with me. I fell asleep with a thought in my head. Does Aria still like me? After everything that happened I highly doubted it.
The next week of school came by and I went through all my classes one by one. Hopped on the bus and sat behind Aria. She was talking to her friends. I waited till she stopped and tapped her shoulder and she turned around.
"Yea?" she said with her head slightly tilted.
"I think I'm falling for you.." I said nervously. She blushed and turned around. Fuck. Me. I probably messed up again. The bus dropped us off at the usual spot and I walked home. My phone buzzed. It was Aria.
Aria: The thing you said. It made my day :)
You: You're welcome. But I hope you know I was serious.
Aria: Really? How come?
I explained to her that I lost interest in Sami because she already had a boyfriend. We talked and talked about random things. Each time I saw her name pop up in my notifications I felt happy. I really was falling for her. I went to sleep with a smile on my face and a thought in my head. Hoping to see Aria's beautiful face again.
Once again the week flew by. At the end of each school day I saw Aria and I got butterflies. Near the end of the week I got home and started texting Aria.
You: This is an odd question and I want you to be truthful.
Aria: Ok. Go ahead.
You: What would you do if I asked you out?
Aria: I would say yes obviously.
You: Really..?
Aria: Yea :)
