Emily POV...Aidan at the top
Hitting my alarm and getting up with no motivation at all. I head into my bathroom and again start my routine. I come out and choose an outfit. Blue jeans and a striped wooly t-shirt. Today I decide to put some curl into my messy brown hair. Checking myself in the mirror I actually felt good today.
I grab my phone, bag and of course put on my favourite brown ankle boots and head downstairs. I stop half way when I realise I hear voices. Panicking a bit I rush down to see who it is. I sigh in relieve when I see my parents siting around our wooden dinning table. I smile when I see the pancakes that are freshly made with fruit and syrup. My favourite!
"Good morning sweetie". My mum Susan says I take a seat around the table.
" Morning mum, Morning dad!" I say with a smile on my face because I'm happy to see my parents finally. My dad smiles at me.
I grab a plate to put some pancakes on when I'm stopped by my mother. "Sweetie you don't want to eat those, Try a fruit bowl or something".
My smile vanishes. I should be used to this by now. My mum is a bit snobby and that's why I prefer my dad.
"Honey let her eat whatever she wants, she has a long day ahead of her". I smile at my dad because I'm grateful.
"Its okay, I have to go anyway. I'm running late". My mom smiles and my dad looks at me with concern as I walk to the door.
"Bye guys, see you after school". I hear a faint bye sweetie from my dad as I close the door and put my earphones in.
I sigh and start to think about my mothers comments. I look at my weight while I walk. I'm not fat so I decide to not let my mum get to me.
A few tears escape my eyes because I have no motivation for school and I just want a normal mum who doesn't make comments. I wipe away the tears and as I do so I don't realise where I'm going and crash into something, well someone and guess who?...yeah Aidan.
"Watch it!" Aidan says while running his hands through his light brown hair. Obviously he does that when he's frustrated.
I sigh "whatever I don't have the time or energy to deal with you right now!"
I was getting annoyed with him glaring at me. As I lifted my eyes from my shoes to look into his blue eyes, something flashed in them before he stormed off with a "whatever".
Wonder why he doesn't have his motorcycle?. Weird.
When I get off the bus and enter the school I like to call hell. I see Stacey at reception so I slowly walk over to her.
She's in a really happy mood today which I don't really wanna deal with but I force a small smile. " Hey" I say when I get close to her and of course her being the detective she is she noticed something is wrong with me.
"Hey what's wrong!?" Concern written all over her face.
"Nothing" I say wanting to forget. She looked at me like I have 25 heads.
" I know your lying, What's wrong!?". I sigh knowing she wont give up unless I tell her.
"My mum made a stupid comment about eating more fruit". Annoyance laced through my voice.
Stacey looked at me with pity. I hate pity cause it makes me feel weak.
"Don't listen to a word she says cause your perfect!" She flashed a smile at me and her smile is contagious so I truly smile back at her.
We walk to maths and of course she's talking about her hook up in spain which just makes me laugh along with her.
"How come your parents are back anyway!?" She asks.
" I actually don't know buy I'm assuming they don't have a case so they just came back home". She nodded her head agreeing with me as we sat down in maths.
I already feel the dread. Like help me. Who likes maths first thing in the morning!?
*****Lunch****
Through out the whole day I kept seeing Aidan give me weird looks but he wasn't by himself either. A new guy had started today but I'm guessing they already knew each other because they were chatting away to each other.
The new guy Kyle kept looking at Stacey but she's too busy with her hook up in spain to notice.
She snaps her fingers in my face. "Earth to Em, I need to ask you something?".
Confused as to what she wants to ask me' "Yeah sure go ahead".
She smiles. "Should I continue this thing I have with this Spanish guy?".
I decide to tell her the truth. "In my opinion no you shouldn't because you live here in the uk and he lives in spain. Long distance relationship are difficult".
She looks a bit sad so I knew what would cheer her up. "You never know who's looking at you while your not looking".
I say referring to Kyle but she has no clue so I wiggle my eyebrows at her and she cracks a smile then burst into laughter along with me.
The bell goes and as we walk to our next class I think about how lucky I am to have a best friend like her and how much the simple things mean to me like our random jokes. I smile while entering the classroom.
As soon as I get home I'm starving so I walk into the kitchen to see only my dad at the table.
Confused I asked him "where's mum and what about dinner?". He smiles up at me while drinking his coffee.
"She's working so I thought I would treat you to whatever you like for dinner". Smiling knowing what I wanted.
We leave the house and climb into the car. "Think I already know what you want" my dad says laughing. I start laughing too as he turns into a kfc drive thru.
As soon as I step into my room and check my phone I have tons of messages from Stacey.
Best bitch: omg! Guess what!?
Best bitch: Em hurry up this is important!
Best bitch: Emily!
Seeing she used my full name I knew it was serious. I quickly reply.
To bestest bitch: What what's happened?
I quickly change into my pyjamas when my phone buzzes.
From best bitch: Omg finally!...The new guy kyle sent me a friend request on facebook.
Laughing at my best friend thinking it was actually serious. I reply.
To bestest bitch: I thought it was serious lol...accept it and send him a message if you like him.
I decide to check my social medias and see that I also have a facebook request from Kyle. Weird. We haven't even talked. I accept before my phone buzzes
From best bitch: I did. He's so cute!
To bestest bitch: I got one too but he's clearly into you. I'll see you tomorrow then you can tell me how it went.
From best bitch: okay see you tomorrow! X
I chuckle again because she's crazy. I get into bed and start to feel a bit jealous of her because she always gets all the boys attention. I think about that for hours until I know I have to go to bed to function tomorrow. Sighing I roll over and close my eyes thinking about those glances Aidan kept giving me today.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
