Kiara's pov

The bell rang telling us that the torturous hour of American history was over.
Mia gave me a relieved smile. All the students got up and ran out of the class.
Literally.
The teacher sighed saying "Thank you children, you may go now."
Mia chuckled and I smiled at him with sympathy.
He just shrugged and left.
We were going to our adjoining locker, and I heard Mia let out a low whistle and winked at a guy passing by causing him to go red.
I shook my head and smiled.
She was the most popular girl in our school but not your typical mean girl type, she was the sweet, flirty, friendly and the girl next door type while I was the shy out cast, I feel like I don't deserve her, infact I think that I lower her popularity status but she doesn't care about the others.
Chloe was my other friend cum neighbor. Then there was Jason, the school 'jock' , but he is secretly gay. That is seriously a waste of those amazing good looks.
The only ones who know about that are Chloe, Mia and myself.
So, back to present.
I was sitting in the cafeteria with Chloe beside me and Mia on the opposite side.
Jason was sitting with the other jocks to maintain his facade.
Chloe leaned in closer to me and whisper " Kiara, Aaron, he's looking this way!"
I chocked on the sandwich I was eating and replied "Are you out of your mind? He would never look this way."
" you bet?" And she continued eating.
I looked up curiously from the curtain of my bronde hair and found him staring at me, when he realised I caught him doing so, he smirked.
My head was spinning, my cheeks were on fire, heck my whole face was on fire right at that moment. I was blushing so hard that I thought blood was going to ooze out of my cheeks, but that would be very gross, and that thought did not help me, I blushed more. What am I doing? When did I become some sappy, romance addicted, blushing girl?
I quickly looked away not wanting to be noticed. Chloe chucked at my actions, I rolled my eyes at her.
Mia looked up from her phone "what's going on?" Chloe Coughed. I gave her a death glare. "Nothing! Absolutely nothing" I said a little too enthusiastically, not to mention fast.
Mia narrowed her eyes "yeah right...."
Chloe had a toothy grin plastered on her face right then. This was not right, I can't like Aaron, Mia has a crush on him. It would just not be right for me to do that because she is my best friend.
"So! I was thinking about a movie marathon in Kia's house." Mia said drawing our attention to her.
"What? My house?" I gasped.
"Yeah, is there any problem? Moreover it's been a long time since we've spent time together." Mia said casually.
I nodded my head but added thoughtfully " I'm ok with the idea but my sister Merlin and her friends are friends are going to be there too."
" it's ok as long as that Rachel girl doesn't come around." Chloe insisted shuddering at that thought, I chuckled at that.
Rachel was one of Merlin's friends, don't even get me started on how they both became friends. That girl spins stories. Once she even said that her mom was killed by her father's lover.
We were very shocked.
And the next time she said her mom was eaten alive by a shark while she went surfing in Hawaii for vacation.
Seriously!!
Then somehow her nationality always changes every time I meet her.
One day she has a British accent and the next day it becomes an Australian accent.
She is ONE OF A KIND. There is no reason for us to NOT get annoyed with her.
"We will have to wait and watch." I said. Chloe groaned as Mia smiled in amusement.
My eyes wandered again to Aaron to see if he was still looking at me. His eyes were fixed on me for a second and he looked away. I think I was just imagining things earlier, there is no way that he will even look at me.
"I think Saturday will be ideal." Chloe mused bringing me back to reality.
"Yeah, I do too" Mia said.
"Saturday it is then." I said cheerfully.
We finished our lunch and moved on to our next classes.
I went to Chemistry which I shared with with Chloe. Aaron was also in my class but I am sure he wouldn't have noticed me for sure and it's none of my business. Right?
It was one of my favourite classes.
Chloe and I sat beside each other. I noticed that another person sat beside me. I looked up and found Aaron, I was shook.
I looked at Chloe confused, she too looked as confused as me right now and shrugged.
Mrs. Willow walked in, she continued to blabber about the project we have next week, but I was too distracted to listen to her because my full attention was on Aaron now. Why did he sit beside me? It was not like every seat was taken, there were still a few remaining in the back. Obviously he is not here for you that's for sure , I said to stop the rant in had in my head.
I was beyond nervous and a little too much aware of his presence. Then I felt someone poke my arm, I almost jumped out of my seat, my cheeks turned red when Chloe looked at me funnily, it was Aaron, he was smiling amusingly at me. I mentally scowled at my self. I felt self conscious in front of him. He is no where near in being interested in you so shut up, I said to myself. I shook my head to clear the thoughts.
"Hey" he whispered. "Kiara right?" I just loved the way my name rolled off his tongue.
Stop! What is wrong with you are you going crazy? I really must be going crazy. I can't believe he just talked to me!! Shut up!
"Yeah" I barely whispered.
"Can I ask you for a favour?" He said looking at me with those captivating brown eyes.
"Y-yeah sure!" I stuttered.
"Um...I have some trouble with this chapter and I know you are good at this, so can you teach me?" He asked smiling slightly. I was a little bit disappointed for god knows what.
I was in a daze, his beautiful lips moved with so much ease.
"Kiara?" He called out my name with concern etching his features.
"Kiara, it's ok if you don't want to, I understand."
I shook my head swiftly and said "NO, no it's absolutely fine".
"Miss D'cruz and Mr. Parker, may I know what's going on there?" Mrs. Willows asked narrowing her eyes.
"Oh nothing, I was just asking if Kiara can help me with this chapter" he answered calmly.
I was turning pink in embarrassment, like a fool I was staring at him face like that. He must've thought that I am a creep.
"If that is the case , then are you both planning to do the project together?" She posed.
"No!""yes" we both said at the same time but my voice was more feeble so Aaron's 'yes' was heard.
My eyes widened, I mean what was wrong with him??
He was supposed to be working with those fake blondies and cheerleaders or at least his friends but considering that there weren't much in this class, I understood why he choose me, BUT why me of all people? There were much smarter kids in our class. He never talked to me . Well if you consider apologising when he bumped into me as talking then yeah. Why was he weird? It must be because of the grades, he was just planning to use me to get good grades.
I felt bad.
It would be much worse if it was all a DARE!! And I am the butt of this sick joke.
I really hope it isn't a dare..
I looked at him unsure.
"Yes, Mrs. Willows we ARE working together." He said nodding.
Chloe had a huge grin across her face the whole time.
"Ok, whatever, now let's continue" Mrs Willows resumed her monotonous voice.
I shook my head and listened to her, this time focusing on the class.
Once the class was over, I picked up my books and started towards the door with chloe.
Aaron called out my name so I turned around.
"Hey, I'll pick you up after school, we'll do the project at mine" he said and walked off.
He was acting like a jerk, I was majorly pissed, like excusez-moi!! That was a freaking order.
Chloe chuckled next to me " he looks hot when he is ordering people around."and winked at me.
I shook my head for the billionth time today and rolled my eyes for God only knows how many times.
We finally ran to our next class, we were 5 minutes late because of him. of course Mrs. Roberts, our math teacher was screaming his lungs out, but I had a narrow escape from detention.

...
Hey everyone, this is my first time writing something like this, so I would be so happy if I got any suggestions from you guys.
I have planned on updating once a week so let's hope I don't procrastinate it.
Bye for now. xoxo
