Liam's POV
"Do you remember me saying 'i will help you' and shit?" I said, focusing on the road. "Yes.." she answered nervously. "I'm not going to take back my word." I sighed, calming her. "It will be very hard and i know that it will take some time, so please... if you actually became the old Aria again... don't change... i have a lot of shit i want to tell you, a lot of things i want to do with you... but not the current you." I smiled weakly. "I'm sorry... i'm really sorry i dissapointed you" she said almost crying. I quickly parked my car to the side and hugged her. We stayed hugging for another 5 minutes and continued to school after that. The ride was silent but it wasn't an awkward silence it was a comforting silence, i don't really know how to describe it.

Aria's POV
The sky is so beautiful, with the same old blue colour yet it was magnificiently beautiful at this moment. I stared at it for a while untill i noticed that we arrived at the school gates. He parked his car and we just stayed there for a moment. I took a deep breath "I will meet your expectations, so please guide me to your expectations." without looking at his eyes i stepped out of the car, walking fast towards my locker. Everyone was looking at me, probably because of the drama of me yesterday. I needed to be alone at the moment i wanted to plan out what i would do from now on, wanted to plan out how to be the old 'Aria'. I skipped class and spent my thinking time in the backyard where it's kinda abandoned, but it's beautiful with the tall grasses and old trees. Gosh i sound like a hippy (no offence). It's not my first time here, this place is my comfort zone. My one place to be happilly alone, i don't always like the crowds. I'm not even one with crowd of kids. I stick out, not in a positive way. I'm popular, for mocking people. My jokes, they tend to hurt a person for the sake of others laughter. It's very cruel and you can judge me all you want, but i can't seem to change. I liked this feeling of control, it's wrong but i like it. I like that i know nobody would dare to being my name down openly. In shady ways, of course people do that but i don't hear it. I can not feel any insecurities because i don't know what is lacking. Actually scratch that, i know what i'm lacking. Nobody dared to tell me though, so i always thought it was okay for me to be like that well that is untill Liam left.
Flashback
He was my bestfriend for ages and he just gave up on me like that. I couldn't let him leave just like that, i liked him. I know it's wrong since we were best friends but i can't unlike him. He was everything. In middle school, i got bullied because i wore concealer on my redest pimple. The girls thought i was an attention whore, they thought "what kind of middle schooler goes to school with makeup", yeah well I was always afraid of people getting disgusted at me because i wasn't worthy enough of being looked at. But then he came... he was my saviour. He stood up for me when i was getting bullied and at that same day he took me home, we walked a long distance. When we arrived he excuses himself to my mom and brought me to the wash room. He washed and dried my face, i was so nervous, i was afraid he would get disgusted. Instead he smiled and pulled me into a hug "You're so pretty, even with that big red pimple" he laughed. I hugged back and laughed into his neck. After that my mom invited him to eat with us which he happilly accepted, and he went home after that. The next day i came back to school with confidence in my heart and a big red pimple on my face.
End of flashback
My thoughts got destroyed by tge sound of the bell, it indicated it was already lunch time. I grabbed my bag and walked into the cafeteria.

Liam's POV
"ARIA! COME HERE" I screamed at the top of my lungs. It was lunch time and Aria just finished picking her food so i invited her to my lunch table, i mean if i wanted to go back like before then that means ahe would be sidekick again and my love? I hope. My table consists of my bros which were all guys since i wasn't intereted in befriending a girl. Alex, Blake, Craig, and Xander, 5 people and with Aria we will become 6 people. She walked towards us grogilly probably thinking i only wanted to talk to her. I patted the vacant place beside me and she just stared at me. "Come sit with us dumbass" i mocked. She shaked her head "A-are you sure?" nervously she asked. "Are we sure boys?" I asked "Yup!" They all said in a happy tone. "Well then excuse me" in a very awkward voice she answered. I actually liked the addition of her, our table was lively enough before she came and now it's even more lively i don't actually know how that is possible. I went to throw my tray out with Alex. "Bro she's fun, she's perfect for you." Alex said with a playfull tone. "Don't joke about her dude, and anyways of course she's perfect for me she was already mine to begin with." Full of confidrnce in my voice. "I think you hit your heas because best friends and dating is a bit far." He said while dumping his tray and running back to the table. I growled a bit and walked cassually back. I thought "i still love her hah, this is gonna be fun and exhausting."
