Can't Help Falling in Love

Ch. O3

A month later, Vivian and I have became the best of friends like she had said. Obviously Kaitlyn too.
Mason hasn't tried to bug me anymore but tends to always look my way. We manage to say hi here and there since I'm best friends with his sister and we're bound to see each other everywhere.

Vivian finally told me the name of the person she's always texting, his name is Aiden. I winced when she said his name, reminding me of the guy who put me through hell and back but I'll always love deep down.

"All right students, settle down." says Mrs. Bentley.
"We have two new students joining us today. Aiden Fiore"

Vivian pokes me, "That's Aiden Soph!"

Aiden, he's about 5'10 with dark brown eyes. His black hair matches his olive skin perfectly, along with his athletic body.
Kaitlyn looks over at me reassuring me that everything will be okay.
Aiden's eyes meet mine, and I quickly look away.
My eyes land on Mason who's intensively staring at me.

"And this is Michael Weir."

Michael on the other hand, has brownish hair, spiky. Hazel eyes and about 5'10 with an athletic body.
My head quickly turns to Kaitlyn, she's always had a crush on that boy.
I can't blame her, if looks could kill he'd be the death of us.

*buzz* buzz*

Unknown: Are you okay?
Me: Who's this?
Unknown: Ouch.. you don't have my # saved? :(
Me: Obvs. Lol
Unknown: It's Mason...

There's an empty seat next to me, I pray and pray that Mrs. Bentley assigns Michael to it. With my luck though I'm sure Aiden would be the one sitting next to me.
To my surprise Michael gets assigned next to my seat, a wave of relief rushes over my body.

They both previously went to my old high school. Right about now I'm almost sure they managed to get kicked out.
The only people holding both of these bad boys down were my sister and I.
I can feel Aiden's gaze burning through my head, almost making my scalp itch.

"What's wrong Soph?"  Vivian asks.
Concern in her voice.

Twirling my hair around I look at her and smile.

"Nothing why?"  I say biting my lip.

Vivian looks at me and smiles back.

"You just looked distracted. When you saw Aiden uh your whole mood changed."

I can tell that a million questions are running through her head, I try to give her the best smile I can and squeeze her hand.

"I'm okay Vivs, I promise." I said lying right through my teeth.
I wasn't okay, I don't know what to expect with Aiden.
Why is he here?

Lunch bell rings. I quickly jump out of my seat and make a run for the door with Kaitlyn hot on my heels.
Aiden catches up to Kaity and I, and my body immediately tenses up.

"Hey sweet cheeks."
I frown.
I don't want to speak to him but I don't want him to know his presence makes me uneasy.

"What do you want Aiden? Did you get kicked out so soon?" He looks at the floor.

Kaitlyn suddenly freezes, which gives away that Michael is near by.

"Hey babies." he says out of breath.

I chuckle.

"Mikey what are you doing here?" Kaity puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Oh.. You know I can't live without you guys."  His hand touches Kaity's.
I can't help but smile. Out of the corner of my eye I see Mason and Vivian walking our way.
Mason looks annoyed and Vivian looks like she wants to tear Aiden's arm off of me.

I look at Vivian.
"Hey come with me to the bathroom." I look at her with pleading eyes, grabbing her wrist.
I don't even wait for an answer, I pull her away and watch as Aiden and Michael introduce themselves to Mason.

"Vivs, I love you but there's something you should know..."
