A Happy Ever After

Chapter 3 - An ass with a rather big heart

~Aria~

I stomped my way through the crowd staring at me and walked to a random seat in the back row and sat. The guy just stayed like a statue for a while and left the room. He didn't even bother apologizing.

How could someone have an ego as big as that? I tried raping him!? Ugh! That son of a- my thoughts were clearly cut off by Lea. "Um, I'm sorry Aria." She took a seat on my right.

I smiled at her for being so considerate. "You didn't do anything wrong."

"Actually he's.. well.."

"Yea?"

"My brother."

Oh.

"Um, Aria?"

I snapped back to reality. "He's your.. brother. I guess I now know why he's such a bloody ass." I faked a chuckle. Lea nodded in agreement.

"What actually happened between you guys?"

"I wouldn't say it happened 'between us' but yea." So I went on telling her the details. "So.. you can guess."

"He molested you?" Lea looked at me with her brows raised.

"No! Ew, no! Just no! I ran away!"

"Oooh, I get it. Sorry, lol."

"Yea, that was so funny I forgot how to laugh." I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry, it's just my habit. Anyway, I'm still sorry for what Clo did."

I smiled at her. "No biggie."

The 'Clo' or whatever guy was out of class at the moment. That was fab but people were still gossiping about what happened earlier. Why couldn't people just mind their own business? Oh, when something as showy as that happens, I guess we really can't stop ourselves, huh?

The homeroom teacher had to make it worse by calling my name and telling me to introduce myself. Second semester, huh? Fuck it, I hardly know anyone.

Mr. Johnson automatically went to the 'bad side' of my list. Joke, I had no such lists. But I think there will be a need for one soon.

I introduced myself as fearlessly as I could. However, people kept talking about the incident which made me even more mad at that guy.

I had slapped him so I guess that was fair enough? No way, he still has to go through hell. Or.. maybe it was my fault. I shouldn't have walked up to him in the first place and maybe the slap was too much. I know how violent my hand is. Crap, I should apologize. He probably misunderstood what happened yesterday. Of course! Who won't be surprised to see a stranger on top of you after waking from a sleep? Oh, curse me. I really gotta clear this misunderstanding.

Homeroom was over in 20 minutes so I said my goodbyes to Lea and went for my first lesson. Art. I wasn't that good at arts. I never was and I probably won't ever be. I always got B. I wasn't that bad but I was just too lazy to do it properly.

I took a look at the school map and made my way to room 307. I went in and took a seat in the back corner by the window. Only a few people were here so I guessed class hadn't started yet. A few people were from my homeroom so they kept throwing glances at me.

I acted indifferent to them and stared outside the window.

'So life is gonna pass by like this, huh. With people and weird people. I guess I'll apologize when I get a chance.'

I was so cheesy at times, wasn't I? "She slapped him! That was so mean. He was going to the infirmary because of his toothache. Poor him." I heard a blonde whisper to her friend.
