Thanking all of you who are reading my first book ever. I hope you enjoy reading, while I enjoy writing ♡

P.s
I am writing this on my phone, I'm sorry if there are some or lots of typo. Don't be shy to point them out ♡

Abigail

Weeks have past since the day Aidan saved me from the group of men. I can say that after that day we have gotten "closer". By closer I mean whenever we see each other we make sure that we give each other a sign of greeting such as giving a smile, a nod or sometimes a wave of hand. And yes, I consider that getting close to each other, we barely even notice ones presence before, so this is close right?

It's Saturday today and, Rachel and I are here at my house just hanging out. We are currently baking some cookies while we gossip about some stuff. We love to do this everytime we have spare time together. While I'm getting out all the ingredients for our cookies Rachel decided to throw me a question

"Hey Abi, just want to ask you something, lately I've noticed you have been interacting with Jack. What's going on?" My eyes grew wide with her question. Luckily I am facing the other way so she can't see my reaction. I should have known she would ask me this, of course everyone noticed that.

"What do you mean interacting? I have been with you the whole time. Anyways, can you measure this tho?" I denied and tried to change the topic so she won't ask about it anymore.

"Sure I can measure this. But answer my question, and don't deny it Abi" I sighed and decided to tell her anyways. She's my bestfriend.

"Fine. Remember during our volleyball game? When I told you that I feel like someone is following me around? I found out that it is Aidan who is 'following' me around" I said while doing a quotation sign in the air from the word following.

Her eyes were big and her jaw dropped. "What?! He is the one who is following you around? Why didn't you tell me? Why is he following you? Does Ashton know? And since when did you call Jack by his second name?! Everyone calls him Jack! And you are calling him Aidan?!"

"Seriously Rach? What's the big issue about calling him Aidan? It's not like it's not his name is it? And relax he is not doing anything bad" I rolled my eyes on her exagerrated reaction.

"Yet. He is not doing anything bad yet. He is a bad guy Abi. Everyone knows that" I turned to look at her with a blank face.

"Cut it Rachel. Seriously, I'm fine. If he is up to something he could've done it already. Can we just finish baking?" I asked and returned to mixing the cookie dough.

"Okay fine. But if I noticed something is wrong, you are going to stop interacting with him" I just nodded at her request.

We just finished baking our cookies and we are now in my room eating the cookies while doing some of our school work. We are just in my bed doing our own things quietly when I heard my phone beeped, I just got a text. And when I looked it's from an unknown number.

Hey I just want to say that if you are going out tonight please be extra careful.
From: Unknown 

I frowned at the text thinking about why would anyone text me this. I decided to reply to whoever it is.

Uhm I am not going out tonight, but yes I will be careful. May I know who this is?

I put my phone down not expecting a reply so quick. And when my phone beeped again, Rachel turned to me with a confused look on her face, I just shrugged.

Good to know. I just want to remind you that Xyrene, don't want to happen again what happened 2weeks ago right?
From: Aidan

Even tho he did not specifically told his name I knew it is Aidan. He is the only one calling me Xyrene.

Aidan? Where did you get my number?
Sent to: Aidan

I replied then Rach decided to speak which made me jumped. I forgot she was here.

"Who is that?" I thought if I want to tell her who it is then I decided yes.

"It's just Aidan" I replied and went back to my work.

Rachel on the other hand tried to snatch my phone to look at the text. But me being aware stopped her from doing so.

"What are you doing?" I asked Rachel

"I was just going to look on what he texted you" She then 'tried' to grab it again from me.

"Stop it Rach. You don't need to know what he said" Just as I said that my phone beeped again, causing Rachel to really try to get it from me now. But she can't.

"Just show me Abigail! Why won't you tell me?" I rolled my eyes. She just won't stop now.

"First of all privacy. And besides the text has nothing to do with you" I'm getting quite annoyed.

"Since when did we decide to hide text messages from each other?!"

"Since the word privacy was invented. Seriously Rach, stop it. The last time I checked we don't care about who we are texting. Why the sudden urge to see Aidan's texts?"

"It's Jack! And is it bad to check on my bestfriend? You are having a conversation with Jack, Abi. Jack."

"What about it? I can decide on whether or not I will communicate with him okay? No need to worry"

When she did not talked anymore I decided to open the text from Aidan.

I have my ways Xyrene. And Aidan? That's new, you're the only one who calls me by my second name
From: Aidan

I can imagine his grin while saying that. And I did not notice the smile on my face while I type my reply

What are the odds, you are also the only one who calls me by my second name
Sent to: Aidan

"Just please be careful Abigail. We don't know his intentions" I smiled at her and nodded.

"He's not as bad as you think Rachel" She smiled at me then we heard another beep. We both laughed, just because we want to.

Well I guess it's our thing now. Have a good night Xyrene
From: Aidan

I felt my stomach flutter from his words and I dont' know why.

You too Aidan :)
Sent to: Aidan

Yes. He is not as bad as you think. I think I can consider this friendship.
