Back To Aiden

chapter 16

A quick reminder to you guys,  Jack is one of Aiden's friends who was also present in chapt. 5

Victoria's POV

Walking in the silent corridors  I made my way towards my locker.  I was already late for the class as Aiden hadn't bothered to pick me up and I guess Diana doesn't know about this.I put aside the thought as I didn't want to get late for the already late class.

I half walked-half ran to the class and finally reached. Entering in the class I was greeted by all the stares of the students and a very unimpressed  Ms. White. 

Yeah right.  Now stare at me as if I just killed ten people.

She's an old lady with a sweet heart. God knows why she isn't married yet. I am usually her favourite but I don't know what has happened lately that's making her look at me like that.

" Well,  hello Victoria.  It's our pleasure to finally have your presence. " she said. I looked at her as if she had grown two horns.

" Miss, are you alright? " I blurted out.  As soon as those words escaped my mouth the whole class started whispering and some even snickered aloud and it didn't take me a second to guess who it was. Aiden.  I scowled at him and looked apologetically at now a very angry Ms. White.

"Ms. Johnson you are getting a detention! " she said and turned her glare at the class immediately shutting them up.

" I'm sorry. " I mumbled and stood there.

" Well,  now go to your place and be quite. "

I went and sat down in my seat.  Great!  So now I have to go for a detention and that's only because of one person. I turned around and fixed my glare at Aiden,  who was busy flirting with some new girl. I didn't like it.  But anyway, who cares?

As if noticing my glare he looked at me but for merely two seconds, and returned his attention to that girl. She looked ,well, good.

I turned around and tried to pay full attention to Ms. White. Well here the key word is 'tried'. But I couldn't.  I really felt bad,  I am a fool to think that Aiden would be the same one again.  The one who looked at no one but me.  He wouldn't even pay heed to the girls gawking at him. He was sweet and slightly less arrogant and probably less irritating Aiden. But now that I look at him,  I see a completely different person.  Even after sorting everything out he still has his walls built up. It's not like I expect everything to go back and be the same but at least be a little less awkward between us.  But he is ignoring me, I don't know for what.

I sighed and looked at my watch to see the time.  It was almost up and as if on cue,  the bell rang signalling for the next period.  Thankfully that wasn't with him.  I was now beyond pissed at him. I don't care.

I quickly picked up my books and giving one last glance at him, I see him already staring at me.  I turn around head for my second lecture.

I enjoyed my practical's period. It was fun experimenting new things.  The seat next to me was empty and the teacher had said that we have to be in pairs. After awhile I felt a presence of someone beside me so I turned around. I saw a familiar looking blonde who was grinning at me.

" Jack.... Hi! " I said as I recognised him.

His grin widened even more as he came to know that I recognised him.

"Wow.... Pleased to know that the nerd remembers me. " he said.

"Hey-"

" I know,  I know your not a nerd but almost..? " he interrupted.
