"I'm fine"

This weekend was exhausting.

I trained 8 h per day.

At least I wasn't alone.

I had Aiden with me.
But that didn't made everything easier oh noo.
He distracted me so much

He trained once without a shirt and I can tell you that I was drooling when I saw his abs and his muscular back.

Everyone's weakness are the back muscles.

Today is Monday and I look like shit.

I didn't even ate dinner last night cause I was already asleep when my mom called me.

And right now I am looking out of the window in my Latin class.

My mind is wide awake but my body is done.

I haven't even realized that my teacher was calling my name till Emma elbowed me.

"Layla!" Mr.Quinn literally yells my name.

"Yes sir?"

"I asked you what exercitu means and what it's conjugation,Numerus and Genus is. "

Is he he stupid or something.
It is written on the paper that he handed us.

"The Army. Ablative Singular masculinity."

Well he looks pissed cause I answered correct.

"Well done ..."

I don't respond and carry on looking out of the window.

Lunch

We all sit on our table.

The table is round and it has eight seats.

Emma sits on my right side and Aiden on my left.
Ashton is right from Emma.

Valerie sits next Aiden and left from her is Beth and left from her is Logan.

That means a seat is free.

I stare at the empty seat.

I don't know how long I was staring at that seat but suddenly Aiden grabs my wrist lightly.

He looks concerned.

"Are you ok? "

For a few seconds I really think about telling him that I am feeling weird.

But of course I decide against it.

"Yes I'm fine " I answer with a played smile.
But my smile doesn't reach my dark brown eyes.

"I know that something is wrong but I am not gonna force you to tell me it"

I am really happy for his understanding side.
I hate it when people ask me constantly stuff that are none of their business and try to squeeze it out of me.

I haven't even touched my food but I stand up and throw into the trash.

I go back to the table to excuse myself

"I am going to the library. I have math homework that I want to finish."

I go without looking back.

"I have to go " Emma says and leaves the table to follow me.

But she doesn't know that Aiden is following her.

When she was about to go into the library Aiden holds her back.

"Aiden you scared the freak out of me. " she holds her chest to optimize her breathing again.
