Chapter 7: Am I torn or just confused?!
Aria's POV:
Why? why me? What the hell did I do to deserve this? of all people who could have been metres away from Tyler and I, it had to be Lewis! Like seriously it's 7 o'clock in the morning, I'm in the middle of a forest and I just so happened to be with Lewis's infamous enemy; Tyler. It's like someone's cursed me! if Lewis even catches a glimpse of Tyler and I hanging out, I can only imagine his reaction.
I felt a sea of guilt wash over me, it was getting harder and harder to be friends with both of them, but I just can't let either of them go! deep down I know I shouldn't let an old friendship go ,but as weird as it sounds Tyler is addictive, and just like drugs, being with him has its side effects.
The thing is, Lewis and I being good friends wasn't the reason why I felt torn, whenever I was with Lewis everything felt so comfortable; I was always me and we clicked ever since we first met. But with Tyler he had problems left right and centre! not necessarily problems with himself but there was always something going on his life which was a stark contrast to Lewis's comforting and nonchalant ways.
These were the thoughts surpassing my mind as I climbed up the tree for the second time today, of course the only difference was that I wasn't being guided up by Tyler.
As soon as Tyler saw Lewis, he instructed me to climb up the tree and wait until he texted me that it was safe to come down. now that I think about it, it was a shit plan.
If there's one thing Lewis and I shared, its our stubbornness, what if he wasn't willing to go away? or decides to pick a fight with Tyler? ill be stuck here in the middle of a dishevelled forest, my hands grasped tightly round fickle branches, hoping and praying that my feet don't slip.
II've never been the religious type but with the amount of praying and sincerity that came out my mouth, you'd beg to differ! My legs were starting to feel slightly numb, but I was more concerned about the time, I didn't want to be late for lessons.. again.
Ugh whats taking them so long? I can't even here them because there too far! Lets hope Lewis is not in the mood to argue today.
Tyler's POV
Why? why me? What the hell did I do to deserve this? of all people who could have been metres away from Aria and I, it had to be Lewis! Like seriously it's 7 o'clock in the morning! he always knew how to spoil the moment.
After instructing Aria to climb up I made my way down, practising what I would say to Lewis. Soon Lewis realized that he wasn't alone- as I made no effort to be quite while walking down, he turned around slightly surprised and when he saw me his jaw clenched and I mirrored his expression. It's weird to think I used to be best friends with this guy.
"What are you doing here?" he spat out, not an inch of welcome in his voice.
"I could ask you the same!", I retorted.
"Seriously Tyler stop acting like a child, just answer the bloody question", he spoke in a patronizing tone.
"I don't need to answer any of your questions", I replied my gaze still locked with his.
The air had turned bitter and neither of us were willing to give up, of course I just wanted him to leave so Aria could come back down, but I had to make sure I didn't make it obvious I was hiding something, or in this case someone.
He observed me for a while to see if I offered any emotion, when the penny dropped and he realized that I wasn't willing to have a civilized conversation with him, he turned his heel, "Whatever", and headed in the direction of the school.
I let out a relieved sigh and got out my phone to text Aria, but of course there was no signal, why did I even think something could go right?! I started climbing up the tree calling out for Aria, but there was no reply, I started getting a little panicked but I soon saw her brunette waves among the leaves, her body was so tense and her knuckles were white as they held the branches, I knew she was probably scared of falling so I played a Little joke.
I put my feet on a strong branch, behind her- making no noise and leaned my head forward so that it was inches away from Aria's ears, she obviously coudnt see me because her back was facing towards me, I leaned in a little closer, keeping my balance,
"boo", I shouted and she shrieked in fear, at first her expression protrayed horror, but her face relaxed and she soon joined my laughter.
"You took your time!", she stated sassilly,
"Yeah well I was kinda busy with a certain, blonde haired, brown eyed fellow",
I hated how he came between us, one stupid mistake I had to make and It ruined me. she seemed satisfied with my answer and started walking towards school. The air was icy cold as winter was approaching, and I could tell Aria felt it- see this was meant to be one of those bullshit cliche moments, where I'm meant to offer her my jacket, but the odds were obviously not in my favour, as I just so happened to not wear my jacket today.
We strolled in a comfortable silence until we came to the girls dorm, she turned to face me,
"So im gonna go get changed, I'll see you in class",
"Yeah sure...oh and do you not think your gonna need any help getting changed?", I winked.
I saw a slight blush rise to her cheeks, it made me feel ignited from the inside out, just to make her blush- even if it was through some stupid innuendo.
"Ugh your so dirty minded", she tried to state seriously, but the corner of her mouth refused to lay flat.
"Yeah well, girls minds are much cleaner, cuz they change it so often", I retorted quite happy with my comeback.
she pouted, "touché".
And with that she entered the girls dorm and I was left outside still slightly buzzed, what was this girl doing to me? ever since we danced at the freshers party, I cant get her out of my mind.

My First Impression (on hold)
Teen FictionFirst impressions had always been Arias forte, Ever since she could remember, she was able to trick people into thinking that they knew her but she would always prove them wrong. She's had a cruel past and harsh parents, and she doesn't trust people...
