"So how was camping?"
Sage and Ethan give each other a knowing look and the girls and I laugh realizing it probably did not turn out good. As soon as the boys came back today we decided to come to the city plaza to eat together.
"Let's just say that we're not as adventurous as we thought," replies Ethan.
"Why not?" asks Maru.
"Well we couldn't figure out how to set the tent and when we finally did it began to rain and all the water came and flooded inside because we didn't set the tent right. So we went to the car to sleep there but it got really cold at night and the seats weren't that comfortable so we didn't sleep at all. We actually stayed up all night talking. And then when we went back out in the morning to get our things we stepped on what we want to believe was dog poop," Ethan explains and we make a face.
"So," Sage continues Ethan's story, "we didn't realize we stepped on poop until we stopped at a diner on the way back and the waitress told us. It was embarrassing."
I can't help but laugh.
"You two are something else," I comment and they laugh as well, my attention goes to them as they hold each other's hands.
"So what happened yesterday with Aaron?" asks Maru.
"Aaron?" questions Sage with wide eyes, "he did something again."
"Of course he did," Maru replies with a laugh, "it's getting kind of pathetic with all his little attempts."
"What do you mean?" I can't help but ask.
"Well all he wants is for people to see that he's changed for the better but let's be real. He's still the same old asshole from the recording. People don't change and it's sad if he thinks people will actually believe he's different."
I don't know what it is or why but her word struck a chord on me and I clench my jaw so that I don't say anything I will regret.
"I agree," says Sage and I turn my head to his direction, "people like him don't change. I honestly think you need to tell him to stop already Lux. Like he's made his point, he's failed to change a single person's mind so I think it's time to move on. He's bothered you enough."
It's as if something heavy has been put on my chest and I bite my tongue hard. I don't even know why I'm so annoyed suddenly.
"Yup," replies Maru, "he's getting kind of old. If nobody likes him then oh well, he'll have to deal on his own. It's annoying how everything is suddenly all about him. I've barely had time to hang out with just you Lux. The last time we did was when we went shopping for homecoming dresses and then after that it's been all about him. Right Nat?"
Nat doesn't look at Maru but instead keeps her eyes focused on me and that look she gives me tells me that she knows how upset I am feeling at this moment.
