Enjoy the Chapter(:

          "Rae, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on."

I look Into Aiden's gorgeous chocolate eyes and force a smile. "You don't mean that Aiden..." I look down at my intertwined fingers as I feel my face turn beat red.

He tilts my chin up just a bit so our eyes unite once again. "Listen to me. I love you. I always have. I-"

My dream is hindered due to a huge pounding on my bedroom door. " Get the fuck up, Rae! You're going to be late for school!"

After one final kick to the door I hear Linda's footsteps retreat from the door. I kick off the now messed up sheets surrounding me and proceed to my bathroom that is thankfully in my bedroom. Looking into the mirror, I see the most scariest human being to ever walk this earth. My shoulder length jet black hair, green eyes, small freckles surrounding my nose and under eyes don't make up for the huge designer bags and pimples making their way to rent a space on my face. I'm still a troll. I sigh and brush my mouth, splash water on my face, and brush out my never ending frizzy hair. I change into some presentable clothing and grab my backpack.

              As soon as I land in the kitchen, the stench of burning cigars and alcohol all but had me running out the front door. I catch a glimpse of my mom on the couch passed out before I head outside. "Love you, Rae! Love you too, Mom. Have a good day, Rae. You too, Mom... Bitch." I slam the door and step into the scorching heat of the sun. Crap. School is about a ten minute walk so I'll smell like week-old gym socks by the time I get there. Just another thing for everyone to laugh at me about. I start trudging down the sidewalk with sweat already daring to break out on my face. After about three minutes I feel like a dehydrated fish.

            "Hey!"

My now drenched face flings over my left shoulder.

Aiden.

His car pulls up closer towards me until It starts to move at the same pace as me.
"H-Hi." I clear my throat.

"Um... You're Rae right?" Yes I'm Rae, we've only lived across from each other for 5 years.

"Y-Yea, and you're Aiden?"

"Yeah... um look. It's like ninety-nine degrees out today, and you still have about 6 more minutes till you get to school by feet. Also, not to be rude but you are full of sweat... everywhere. So, do you want a ride?"

I contemplate his question. If I'm seen coming to school with Aiden Mathews there is no doubt that after school someone would bash me against a locker just for being in his bubble. Then again this is Aiden Mathews we're talking about.Class president, football quarterback, National Honor Society president, Student Council president, etcetera. Even being in the same presence as him is enough to make gorillas pound around in my stomach.

...It's worth the risk.

      "Yeah, I'd love a ride. Thank you."

He reaches over to open the door and I throw myself in with my backpack following and close the door. The car jerks forward and I turn to look out the passenger window. I look at my watch- 9:10. I have five more minutes until I can think of a way to escape torture for the rest of the day. Ditching wouldn't be bad but I've never missed a day of school since kindergarten.

         "Rae..?"

I turn to look at a gorgeous beast, the beast I dreamt about last night, the beast that I almost forgot was here. A small blush escapes as my green eyes stare into his brown ones.

"Yes?"

"I've been calling you for a while now. You good? I was asking why I never see you outside much, or at school much, or anywhere for that matter."

My eyes leave his and I slowly gaze forward to see Evergreen High just a couple seconds away.

"Maybe because you don't try to notice, and I don't try to be anywhere near people."

As he parks the car in the student parking I hop out. I turn around and give him a smile and a quick nod.

"Thanks for the ride Aiden."

I slam the door shut and pull my hoody up to make sure no one notices who the hell just came out of his car. I tighten my backpack across my shoulders and run to the beginning of the end.
