Looking Series Book 1

Chapter 13

The following Monday, everyone at school was talking about the fight that had happened between Sofia and Andy. Andy had gotten through to lunch without too many stares and whispers in her direction but there were some. She plopped down between Kylie and Aiden and grunted.

"What's wrong, babe?" Aiden asked as he rubbed her back.

"I'm sick of people looking at me strangely." Andy mumbled as she stabbed her salad with a fork.

"I overheard some freshmen girls in the bathroom saying that it started because Sofia slept with Aiden." Kylie chuckled.

"That's ridiculous." Aiden scoffed angrily.

"It's just a rumor." Andy waved it off.

"A stupid one," Aiden replied. "I only want you." He smiled before pecking her lips.

"Awww," Kylie swooned. "You guys are so cute that I can't stand it."

"Thanks Kyls," Andy chuckled, turning back to her cousin. "But I think someone wants to tell you something." Andy announced as she elbowed Aiden.

"Oh! Right." Aiden looked at Kylie. "Eric wants to know will you tutor him in French."

"Eric…Wells?" Kylie asked surprised. Eric Wells was a junior but he and Aiden played soccer together. He was very cute and newly single.

"Yep." Aiden nodded.

"He wants me to tutor him?" Kylie asked aloud. "But why doesn't he just get one of the many members of his "fan club" to do it?" Kylie asked.

"He specifically asked for you." Aiden told her.

"Oh," Kylie said calmly. "I guess I could help him out." She shrugged. Andy grinned knowing that her cousin was beaming on the inside.

"Good. I'll go tell him right now." Aiden said as he got up and headed towards a table where Eric Wells was sitting.

" Gosh!" Kylie squealed once Aiden was out of earshot. "I'm going to be tutoring Eric Wells."

"Be careful Kyls," Andy warned. "You know he has a reputation for breaking hearts."

"And hymens." Another voice said behind them. The cousins both turned to see Sofia standing there with Jen beside her.

"Can we sit?" Jen asked. Kylie and Andy glanced at each other before either one of them answered.

"Sure." Andy said while Kylie just shrugged. Jen and Sofia sat across from an anticipating Kylie and Andy.

"Ummm…I'd like to say that I'm sorry." Sofia started.

"That's it?" Kylie snorted.

"Kylie." Andy mumbled, lightly warning her cousin to let Sofia finish.

"You were right. I was acting like a spoiled bitch and I was…scared that you were trying to steal my dad…I mean our dad," Sofia went on. She sighed before continuing. "You're a really good friend and I'm sorry I acted the way I did. Can you forgive me and can we go back to being friends and work on our relationship as sisters?" Sofia asked hopefully.

"Really? This isn't just some trick or something is it?" Andy asked cautiously.

"No," Sofia said sincerely. "No tricks."

"Alright." Andy smiled at her sister.

"Thanks for forgiving me." Sofia smiled.

"Of course. You're my sister after all." Andy teased.

"Kylie, I'm so—"

"Oh…save it," Kylie cracked a smile. "I was just waiting for you to apologize to my cousin. I wasn't super mad at you. All is forgiven."
