Chapter 10

Love and Jealousy

    "Oh, this was the best day of my life!" Aria declared on the phone to Vanessa that evening.

    "I can't believe he walked you home," Vanessa added. "What a gentleman! You don't see a lot of that in boys our age."

    "That is so true. Edmund is different from any boy I've ever met," Aria said as she fell flat on her back on her mattress. "Did I tell you he is planning on taking me out to dinner for my birthday next week?"

    "That would be three times now," Vanessa replied. "You guys sound like you are already getting serious."

    Aria rolled over on her stomach. "Yeah, so?"

    "You have only known each other for a day."

    This information suddenly hit Aria. Has it really only been one day? To her, it felt as of she had known Edmund for a very long time, years even. She could not believe how well they connected with each other and only after spending one day together. Aria replied to Vanessa, "I guess it seems like longer than that to me."

    "Or maybe you're making more of all this than it actually is," Vanessa said in a serious tone.

    Aria's voice grew a bit defensive. "Hey, I know what I'm feeling. I know this seems crazy, but I think I'm actually in love."

    "Aria, you don't even know him," Vanessa pointed out. "Doesn't it seem strange that he just came out of nowhere and immediately fell for you? There's something off about him."

    Aria started to get annoyed. "What are you implying? That since he fell for me, there's something wrong with him?"

    "No, of course not!" Vanessa assured her best friend. "All I'm saying is this kind of thing just doesn't normally happen, unless your in a teen vampire novel or something."

    "Are you trying to tell me you think Edmund's a vampire?"Aria started to laugh. Usually when the two of them began to argue, one of them would say something completely out there and the conversation would end with them joking around.

    "Actually, I was thinking more like a werewolf since he's out during the daylight." Now Vanessa began to crack up along with Aria.

    Once the girls were done laughing, Aria then said, "Okay, I guess I not exactly in love with him. It just that Edmund's not like other guys so he stood out to me and I think I stood out to him too since I'm not really like other girls. That may be why he chose to get to know me."

    Vanessa considered this and commented, "Yeah, I guess it makes more sense when you put it that way. I'm no expert on relationships so the best advice I can give is don't go too fast."

    "Don't worry. I won't," Aria assured. "Hey, do you know if Ms. Fleming back yet? I'll bet she would like to know I finally found a boy I'm interested in."

    "I don't think so. I haven't seen her in a while."

    Aria sighed. "Oh well. I'll just tell her whenever she gets back."

    "Hey Aria?" Vanessa spoke, concerned.

    "What is it?"

    "We really haven't known Edmund very long. Just be careful, okay?"

    "Alright, Mom." Aria rolled her eyes. "Look, I gotta go. I think I heard my actual mom calling me for dinner. See you tomorrow."
