AxP - Will We Be?

What Kind of Boyfriend Would I Be?

We got our mock results back on the first week of December. Things were looking very promising.
"I didn't do too bad at all," I smiled at Claud, as she showed each other our result sheets.
"Neither did I!" Claud smiled back, "Claud Calculus should be my name, my maths grade is through the roof!"
"Tone it down, Claud Calculus," I laughed at his oh-so humble reaction. Just then my phone rang.
"Hey Aaron," I answered.
"Hey, everything okay?"
"Yeah, it's good, how about you?"
"It's good too," he replied, "got your mock results?"
"Yeah I did," I grinned, even though he couldn't see me, "did you?"
"Yeah," he echoed, "wana meet up later so we can discuss the grades?"
"You want to meet up, just to talk about results," I raid raising my eyebrow.
"No, I also want to talk about your secret crush on me, but I thought it would be better to lead with results," he laughed, "only kidding, I just want to meet up and I'm using the results as an excuse."
"You don't need an excuse to see me idiot," I shook my head.
"Ohh really," Aaron replied and I could imagine him smirking, "easy Perrie, Alex might get jealous of how much you're really wanting to see me."
"Get over yourself," I rolled my eyes, "see you later?"
"Sure, I'll meet you at Pearls after school," he finished and then put the phone down.

Claud and I approached the back entrance of school, leading to the field outside. I saw Alex talking to Mesut and Zayn to the right and made my way towards them. When he noticed me, his eyes brightened, and he smiled widely. I joined into their conversation about mock grades before the girls and the guys joined us.
When the bell went, we all slowly walked towards our next lessons. I walked slowly behind Jesy and Mesut, who were deep in conversation about something and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had forgotten something. As we entered the classroom and took our seats, the teacher walked to the front of the classroom and asked us all to hand in our coursework.
I knew I forgot something. I left it in my locker. I raised my hand to ask if I could be excused and then went to my locker to get it. The corridors were empty, with lessons having already started. Running up the stairs to the ground floor and down a side corridor to my locker.
When I swung my locker open, to say I was annoyed would be an understatement. Hundreds of bits of papers came flying out of my locker and fell all over the place.
"You have got to be joking," I mumbled in anger.

Another locker closed to my right and I looked up to see Gigi facing me. She took in the scene in front of her and raised an eyebrow, not looking surprised at all. I saw a trace of a smirk on her face before she gave me an unimpressed look before strutting off.
Don't throw your shoe at her! Don't throw your shoe at her!
It took me a full 15 minutes to get all the papers in the bin, which meant getting a lecture from my teacher for wasting lesson time. Brilliant.

Later that day at lunch I told the girls what happened and needless to say they were less than impressed.
"I didn't think she could get any pettier, I mean how old is she, 10?" Jesy said shaking her head.
"It was so annoying it took me 15 minutes to clean," I told them resting my head on the table. As luck would have it, just on cue, the evil twat herself strolled past and winked at me.
"I don't think I'm going to get through this year without beating her up," Leigh said.
"Well try, I'm not having any of you getting into trouble so close to exams, we just need to get through the next few months and then we'll never have to see her again," Jade stated. Honestly, this prank wasn't as annoying as the last one, but it was still irritating. Didn't she have anything better to do with her time.

"Let's just change the subject," I smiled, "Aaron rang me earlier, and I'm meeting up with him later."
"I miss that guy," Jesy smiled and then sighed. We all looked at her with confused faces. She sighed again and then put her fork down. "Harris and I broke up."
"What?" we all said in unison.
"It just wasn't working anymore you know?" she shrugged. We nodded in response, not wanting to push the subject any further.
"Girls weekend?" Jesy said quietly.
"Oh yeah!" Jade nodded enthusiastically making us all laugh.
"Erm you sure you're okay?" I asked.
"We'll talk about it on the weekend," she said in a hushed voice as the guys approached us.

They sat down and Leigh started to explain what happened with my locker. They all simply rolled their eyes and shook their heads clearly over the whole situation. Their dislike for her was incredibly evident.
"You okay?" Alex asked in a low voice, to which I nodded in response. He looked very uncomfortable but didn't say another word. I then decided to tell him about meeting Aaron after school.
"He knows you're dating me, right?" he said only half joking.
"Yes," I laughed, "relax bubs." He smiled back at me and then nicked a couple of my chips. "You want to come with me?" I asked as I slapped his hand away.
"Aaron won't mind?"
"Not at all!"
"That's fine," he said smiling again.

Meeting up with Alex after school, I rang Aaron to see if he was still coming. Alex and I walked through the park near by school, rather than using the roads. He took out his football that he usually took to school and we played around as we walked. I honestly loved spending time alone with him. It made me feel over the moon to see the way he smiled at me. The way he laughed so genuinely. How he'd complain and pull me closer if he thought I was too far away from him. How he'd pull me so close I thought he was going to kiss me, then at the last second kiss my cheek instead and laugh at how red they were. Oh my gosh, I sounded like a lovesick little girl.

"Perrie!" Alex shouted clicking his fingers in front of my face, snapping me out of my daze. "I called you five times."
"Sorry," I smiled sheepishly, "what's up?"
"Are you cold?" he asked after shaking his head at me. I nodded in reply and he draped his coat over my shoulders. Muttering a thank you, I snuggled into the coat to try to feel a little warmer. "What time does Aaron finish school?"
"He fnished at 3:15 so he'll be here in like ten minutes," I informed him, taking a seat on a bench outside. Alex stopped walking and stared at my face in confusion for ages. "What?"
"Maybe we should sit inside," Alex smirked. I mentally face palmed, bowing my head slightly so my hair would fall over my head and maybe hide my embarrassment. It was freezing outside, why the hell did I decide to just casually sit outside. Then I straightened up and headed inside a little quicker than necessary. Alex followed closely behind and muttered something about me being cute. He suggested getting something to drink but I told him to wait for Aaron to arrive, which he eventually did, although he was a couple of minutes later than expected.

"So what's new?" he said as he sat down.
"You mean besides your lack of time keeping," I laughed raising my eyebrow.
"Couldn't be helped," he shrugged. He did the whole boy-fist-bump-shoulder thing with Alex. "Let me see how you did first," he said handing me his mock results. I hand him mine and then read his.
"You've done so well!" Alex and I said in unison.
He waggled his eyebrows, "beauty, brains and brawn guys, that's what I am."
"Dream on mate," Alex laughed. I looked at the two guys sat opposite me and smiled. Both of them made me very happy. Forgetting the events of the day, I smiled wider as Alex cracked another joke and Aaron told him it was a rubbish joke and pretended not to understand it.
"You're both such idiots," I mumbled to myself and looked at the menu.

Later after chatting for an hour, Alex got up, "I've got training, so I need to go." Aaron and I stood up too, deciding to leave as well. Alex and Aron both raced ahead of me to the counter, arguing over who should pay for my food.
"It's okay bro, I've got it," Alex said taking charge.
"No, it was me who suggested we should meet up, it's on me," Aaron replied.
"Nah seriously man it's cool," Alex insisted.
"Alex, what kind of guy would I be if I let you pay," Aaron said with a glint of amusement in his eyes.
"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you pay for my girls food?" Alex replied raising his eyebrow. Aaron smirked,
"boyfriend?" to which Alex nodded proudly. "Okay baby, thanks for paying for us all," Aaron winked with a wide smirk. I burst out laughing as Alex's eyes widened in realisation.
"Hey!"
"I'm too good," Aaron laughed looking at me as I gave Alex a hug goodbye. He leaned in and kissed my cheek, gave Aaron a pointed look and then left.
"I love annoying him," Aaron laughed as we walked.
"I love when you annoy him too," I agreed.

"So what's on your mind?" he asked after a few moments of silence. I looked at him with a confused expression and he continued, "you seemed a little quiet." I told him about what happened at the school with the mustard and the locker.
"That's intense," he replied. "You okay?"
"Yeah," I sighed, "the mustard one was the worse one, to be honest. Today's issue was just annoying."
"Are you sure it was Soreya?" he asked me, "I mean from what you've told me, it doesn't sound like it's the type of thing she would pull."
"What makes you say that?" I asked curiously.
"Look, from what you've told me, she doesn't seem like the type to take time out to do that shit," he reasoned, "I think she's more the type to just call you a bunch of shit when she walks past you."
I thought about what he said, and he had a point. Plus, she didn't seem smart enough to figure out how to do that shit without getting caught.
"Who else would do it though?" I replied quietly.
