The Dream Maker

IV

I was in biology class and Cameron was next door. When  saw him I started thinking about this MFS. "How you spend your Friday night is your choice.". "How am i going to sneak out? I don't want to get grounded again. If I get caught, I'll loose trust from my parents. They won't let me go out again. Definitely can't let that happen. And what if pictures get posted...like before...pictures of me drunk?!"
"Aria?"
"My parents aren't like Cameron's."
"Aria?".
"Cameron gets away with anything. How the hell does he do it?"
"ARIA!". I jump as I hear Luke shout my name. "Sorry but you were so lost in your own thoughts that you were talking to yourself."
Luke is just another boy in my class who used to crush on me about 2 years ago. "Oh sorry I didn't even know.". "It's okay. So tell me... what about your parents?", he asked. "oh errmm... no nothing. It's just...they're really strict and I was thinking about going to a party on Friday night but I guess that's not happening anymore.". He had a small but noticeable smirk on his face. "And what's this party called?". I told him all about MFS and realized how much I actually want to go.

It was in biology when I had chosen to clean up my phone- delete files, change settings, etc. While doing so I noticed Ms. Bonhomme, the biology teacher, looking in my direction several times. I thought it was risky since my phone was supposed to be switched off. I'm usually the one to switch off during biology- there always seems to be a system malfunction as soon as i step into that room. Just as I locked my phone I looked up to find the teacher looking not at me, but behind me. I turn around.
"And what if pictures get posted...like before...pictures of me drunk?!" I hear the girl behind me saying. She had her head resting on both palms with her elbows on the desk. She had long, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. The girl was tan but beautiful. She always has been. I would know. I've always found there to be a mystery in her eyes. When you looked inside of them, it was as if she was hiding something. It was as if there was another side to her. I guess this mystery was one of the things that made her beautiful, like her name — Aria.
I tried to get her attention but she was so caught up with a thought that she didn't hear me. Then she starts comparing her parents to her friend Cameron's, so I stopped her before she got too personal and said things she'd regret. Once again, I was a whistle in a catacomb. She spoke and spoke. "ARIA!" I said, and she had finally heard me. I noticed Aria jump in shock so I apologized and to lighten the atmosphere, I asked her to explain what was meant by "My parents aren't like Cameron's. She replied, "oh errmm... no nothing. It's just...they're really strict and I was thinking about going to a party on Friday night but I guess that's not happening anymore." To be honest, i was surprised she'd even said that much to me. All of a sudden in 10th grade Aria stopped speaking to me. I wanted to know more about what she was going on about so I decided to ask her about this party.
While hearing her speak about it, I noticed her eyes brighten up. Next thing she was depressed and then happy again and by then I had figured how much MFS had actually meant to her.

I wasn't sure whether Luke was still into me or not because he seemed so indulged in my story. I carried on either way. I figured that I needed to vent to someone other than Cameron or Matthew. He asked me so many questions, I thought he was going to follow me there. Luke showed sympathy. "I can understand why your parents wouldn't want you going out though. I mean I could imagine my parents reaction if my under-aged sister wanted to go to a party with 2 guys who are legal and will probably drink." His words made me want to end our conversation right then and there. Diara, Luke's younger sister, was stunning. Though she was a grade younger than me she could surely get the whole football team to drool over her. Luke probably saw my expression change to annoyed and asked, half mockingly, "So how is Matty anyway?"

The bell had rung right as Luke ended his question and Aria's desk was cleared in no time. She had stood up, replied, "Wonderful." and walked out.
