It's Complicated

Chapter 4

Mia's POV

I peeked into the small hole outside the biology lab and saw that our teacher was still teaching.

"There are only 10 minutes left for the period to get over. If we enter now we'll be dead meat for sure." I said while turning towards Aaron.

"Are you suggesting we bunk this class ?" He asked with amusement clear in his eyes.

"Oh please, Lanter! It's not like you haven't bunked any of the classes in 10th grade." I said with a smirk and heavily stressed on the ‘any’.

"Oh c’mon! You are just exaggerating." He said cooly.

Before I had time to reply, I heard footsteps and the Principal’s voice.

"Yes, we'll ask Mr Edwards! I assume he's in the biology lab right now."

"Crap." I said, absolutely panicking.

Before Aaron had time to react I grabbed his hand and rushed towards our class which I knew was empty.

As I closed the door I released a sigh of relief.

"What was that about?" Aaron asked since he was confused as to what had happened just a minute ago.

"It was you and Me running so we don’t get detention for bunking, smart ass!" I stated in as-a-matter-of-fact voice.

"Oh!"

Aaron's POV

'She had been ignoring me since a year and now she grabbed my hand.'

I thought.

When I first saw her after a year in the hallway I was taken aback.

She hadn't changed at all.

She was still the same happy-go-lucky person I knew. The only difference was that her hair had grown longer and she looked much prettier, not that she didn't look pretty before its just that now she looks beautiful.

When I first walked into her class I knew instantly that she was shocked, but that was because she hadn't expected to see me here.

I was thinking about our first encounter when suddenly the door opened and Mia jumped up from her chair and I didn't even flinch.

"Well well well, if it isn't Mia Evans! Already flirting with the new guy huh, honey?" The boy wearing a black shirt and black jeans said.

"Justin, please!" Mia sighed "What do you want now?" she asked with irritation caked all over her face.

Oh so his name was Justin and Mia seemed pretty annoyed by his presence.

"Relax, babe! I just came in to say hi"

He said teasingly.

Suddenly my fists rounded and I was ready to punch this guy in his face.

How dare he talk like that to Mia.

Wait. What does it matter to me? She's not my best friend anymore.

*sigh*

"Hi back at ya !" She replied with a smile and then continued, "Now go away!" She said with a plain face.

What’s up with her? She’s never this mean to anyone. I guess this guy must have done some pretty bad shit to her.

Justin chuckled.

"Bye, honey! See ya at the party!"

He said to her and then turned towards me and said "You can come too! If you want....Umm, what's your name again?"

"Aaron. Aaron Lanter." I replied.

"Cool. Ok so I'll see you two at the party. Oh and Mia." Justin said.

Mia looked at him and asked "Yeah?"

"Wear the hot dress you wore last time and don't forget to bring your best friend along. Bye!" Justin said and with that he left the room before Mia had time to reply.

I heard Mia sigh.

"Who was that? And what party is he talking about?" I asked her.

"Oh, he's justin. The biggest jerk in school. But he throws the most amazing parties and invites all the seniors. I'll give you the details about that later." She said.

"Ok sure!" I replied with a small smile.

She smiled back and I asked her what I've been wanting to ask her since Justin entered the room.

"Mia, why do you hate that guy so much?" I asked with great curiosity.

"Oh! Urm he tried to kiss me against my will,twice." She replied. Her voice barely a whisper.

"He, what?" I exclaimed.

"Yeah! But then Daniel took care of that and since then he hasn't tried anything." She said with a smile.

Daniel? Was that her boyfriend?

Why didn’t she tell me? I suddenly felt like a possesive boyfriend when I wasn't even her best friend anymore.

Fantastic! (Note the sarcasm)

There were so many questions running through my mind and I had to ask.

"Who's Daniel?" I asked, clearly annoyed.

Her face lit up and she said "Oh you haven't met Daniel, have you ? I completely forgot to tell you about him."

Controlling the urge to punch the guy whom I haven't even met. I waited for her to say what I would regret later.

What if he really is her boyfriend ?

Just thinking about that irritates me.
