Chapter 19: Courting

It had been six days since that late night phone call with Mr. Gabriels and I just can’t seem to get over it.

Our conversation was short but enough to make me feel the weight of responsibility he is asking me.

“Don’t hurt her.” He said seriously on the other line.

It will never be in my intention to hurt Aria in any way but I couldn’t guarantee that I wouldn’t hurt her either.I know someday we will get to the point in our relationship where hurt is inevitable.

Talking about phone calls, I glared at the girl standing by the bedroom door. “You didn’t call me that you won’t visit yesterday.”

I am in my study table, reading the online lectures the teachers sent to me. I chose to have an online class than to take a make-up class on summer. Xavier doesn’t normally offer special attention to students who are going to be absent for more than five days but since I have a very influential mother and a very intimidating father, my sister and I get special attention.

It’s bothersome but a benefit in certain situations like this.

Besides, Aria felt that it is her full obligation to tutor me since she is the reason why I have an injured back.

Aria rolled her eyes at me and pulled a chair to sit beside me. We both stared at my laptop screen for a little while. “I was out with Tim. We talked about you again.” She shrugged.

Ever since Aria started hanging out with Tim, they are always together.I completely get he’s gay and I'm cool about it but Tim is still a man.

Gay or not, no, just NO.

I widened my eyes at her. “You were supposed to be with me and not with him.” Then I realized how weird that sounded.

She looked away and she started to rock her feet, the way she always do when she’s uncomfortable. At least, that is from what I have observed.

“What are you studying?” She changed the topic, leaning a little to look closer on what I am reading, pretending to be completely interested.

I studied her for a quick second before deciding to let go of the topic and answered her instead, “It’s math, stuff you don’t like.”

“You are already good at math, you should focus on subjects you’re not that good at, like science.”

I sighed distatefully and I exited the pdf I was reading and scroledl through my documents to search for the science lecture that was sent to me an hour ago.

“Zac Efron is so hot.” I heard Aria suddenly mumbled beside me and saw her looking at her phone. Zac Efron is her screensaver, what a girl.

I murmured, “So does Nathaniel William.”

“Oh please.” She scoffed.

“Look,” I ordered her as I raised both my arms to my sides and flexed it, “Look at these guns!”

Aria’s face is priceless like she’s seconds to bite my arm off with the way she’s looking at it.

It was so... intense.

It is kind of a turn on.

A huge turn on.

“Keep doing that look I will throw you in the bed.” I mumbled absentmindedly.

“Keep flexing your arms and you will never hear me complain.” She mumbled back.

That exact moment my eyes suddenly wander to my bed where my shoes are scattered on top because I was thinking of what shoes I can donate and what shoes I’m still too fond of to not to donate.
