Chapter 8 - Stranger Calling

The party was almost finished and I was having a great time. Van was somewhere in the campus, probably with a girl which means I was left all alone with Aiden.

“So why did you stay with me and didn’t go with your friends?” I asked shyly at Aiden. He gave me a breathtaking smile which made me blush.

“I prefer being with you,” My heart skipped a beat when he said that. “My friends are all crazy! If I stayed with them, I’d probably be pulling my hair out of frustration.” He chuckled as I smiled up at him.

“By the way, I noticed that you didn’t drink anything besides the pineapple juice Van gave you. You don’t like drinking?” He asked, curiosity on his beautiful face. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I like it when a girl doesn’t drink. . . much.” He explained. I laughed at him.

“Well. . . It’s because I’m allergic to alcohol.” I told him.

“Really? That’s weird. You have the same allergy as the one that I like.”

“You like someone?” I looked down, my heart breaking.

“Yeah, she’s beautiful and every time I hear her sing I feel like I’m on cloud nine! It’s just sad that I don’t know who she really is but I swear that I will find her.” Aiden said, smiling brightly and his eyes shining with confident determination. I tried to stop the tears from falling. Great, just perfect! Note the sarcasm. The girl that Aiden likes can sing too! She must be pretty amazing to have Aiden fall for her. My heart broke into a teeny tiny million pieces.

“Oh, that’s nice.” I smiled at him. I hope he doesn’t notice how fake it was.

“I even have her number! She gave it to me when I asked for it but I haven’t had the courage to call her.” He frowned, looking far away. I sighed and decided to play martyr.

“You should call her. I’m sure she will like you.” Gah! Telling the guy you like to call another girl is like stabbing yourself with a knife straight to the heart.

“Really?” He smiled up at me, looking so hopeful and handsome that I wanted to kill the girl who he likes.

“Yup, really.” I smiled sadly at him. He brought out his phone. My eyes widened. Oh hell no! I don’t want to watch Aiden calling this girl.

“Uh, Aiden, I’ll just go now, okay? I have to look for Van.” I said in a hurry. He only nodded, not really looking at me but at his phone. My heart clenched. I turned around to leave and heard Aiden take a sharp intake of breath and say “Here goes nothing.”

At that moment, I ran not really wanting to see or hear anymore but I stopped on my tracks when my phone started vibrating and ringing. It was a stranger calling. . . then it all clicked into place in my head. I gasped in shock and ran faster before Aiden could hear my phone. I didn’t know what came over me.

I threw my phone somewhere and ran. I went to my dorm and curled up into a ball. Did Aiden actually like blue moon? Me? I remembered his words.

“Yeah, she’s beautiful and every time I hear her sing I feel like I’m on cloud nine! It’s just sad that I don’t know who she really is but I swear that I will find her.” Aiden said, smiling brightly and his eyes shining with confident determination.

Was Aiden talking about me? My heart fluttered and bursted with happiness. Aiden likes me! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

After a few minutes of letting that information sink in, I cried. Yes, I cried like a baby. Aiden likes blue moon and NOT me. It felt like a punch in the gut. If I told him the truth he would probably hate me, I thought sadly.

What should I do? Should I stop him from falling in love with blue moon knowing that it would lead to a heart break? I shook my head, knowing that by breaking his heart, I would be breaking my heart as well. I fell asleep with tears on my eyes thinking that Aiden is too good for me and that I don’t deserve him. He fell for someone that isn’t real.

The next morning Van and I was chilling under the shades of the tree. I told him everything and boy did he look surprised.

“Why won’t you tell him that you’re, you know, blue moon?” He whispered and I told him to keep quiet. I looked around to make sure that no one was actually listening.

“Look at me, Van. I’m not good enough for him and besides, I’m just a fake.” I told him sadly. Van grabbed my shoulders so that I was looking at him.

“My god, El! What are you saying? You’re beautiful, talented and kind. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Blue moon is a part of you and you are a part of her. When will you see that you’re perfect the way you are?” Van said, his eyes blazing with passion. I could feel my face heating up at his words.

“I- Thanks, Van.” I stuttered, feeling overwhelmed. I didn’t know he felt that strongly about the way I think of myself. He let go of my shoulders and gave an exasperated sigh.

“Sorry, I got carried away. It’s just that you’re too blind.”

I smiled up at him, not really getting what he means by me being blind. I knew better than to argue with him. He’s stubborn as a nut shell so I just let it go and we started talking about our day the way we usually do. We laughed and teased each other but his words kept on repeating over my head. I couldn’t help but feel an uncomfortable squeeze on my chest. I hope Van isn’t feeling what I think he’s feeling.
