The Promise He Made.

Chapter 3

I woke up to the sound of my alarm and hoped in the shower. I throw on some black ripped jeans and a crop top. Put on some brown eye shadow and a small amount of eyeliner and clear gloss.

I walked down the steps and slid on my white vans. I walked into the kitchen where Gale was sitting with a plate of food and coffee. He saw me and smiled. "I made you breakfast." He said. I smiled and took a sip of the coffee.

"Thank you. But why are you up so easily?" I asked.

"Because I'm taking you to school. You don't know the way there nor do you know where your classroom is. Since I don't have a class for another 2 hours I've got time to kill." He said. I nod.

"I'll just go grab my bag and we can go," I said.

"Aren't you gonna eat?" He asked.

"It's the other twin that eats in the morning," I said. He slaps himself on the forehead.

"It's gonna be hard keeping up with you two." He said. I giggle.

As soon as we get into the car I turn to radio on. Gale chuckles. "You are special." He said shaking his head.

"Speaking of special? When are you going to tell Violet you have a crush on her?" I asked. He looks at me.

"When I know she isn't going to laugh in my face." He said.

"Fair but you never know if she likes you back?" I said. He shakes his head and pulls out of the driveway.

"Violet is the kind of girl that will give me the 'I like but only as a friend' kind of speech and I don't do those speeches well so I'm gonna be in the friend zone for life." He said.

"Your loss. She's gorgeous." I said. He fake glares at me.

"Your only saying that because she looks like you." He said.

"Does that mean you have a crush on me too?" I asked.

"No, because I think of you as a friend. Violet is different. I can't explain it." He said.

"Then try asking her out," I said. He scuffs.

"Here's a thought try asking her if she likes me and then tells me?" He said pulling into the schools parking lot.

"Can't," I said. He parks and looks at me.

"Why not?"

"Because it's against girl code," I said. He wines.

"You girl and your girl codes." He said opening his door.

"Well, you guys have guy codes so what the diff?" I asked. He looks at me.

"Our codes are simple. Your codes have strict details." He said as we walk up to the campus. I shake my head.

"Whatever," I said. I look around and see a bunch of people.

"Hey, I just got a message from my buddy. I need to go. Just head through those doors and take a right then left. You'll be fine." He said. I turned around to see him hopping back into his car. I shake my head.

"Thanks, that's just great," I said. I turn back around and run into a tree and fall on my ass. I groan. "Perfect," I said. I look up to see it wasn't a tree but a guy. With the sun on my face, I couldn't see him. He held out his hand. I grabbed it.

"I'm sorry I didn't see you there." He said. The voice was familiar. As soon as my feet were flat I looked at him. "Aria?" He said.

"Of course. I start my first day at college by embarrassing myself in front of a hot guy." I said. He chuckled. "It's not funny," I said.
