EIGHTEEN

Aaron was angry

Again.

He could feel it boiling inside him and it had been like that for a few days now. He was angry at Luke and he didnt even know why anymore.

He got angry when Luke spoke to someone else, or when he laughed with Trey, when he didn't look at him in class like he always did, or when he ignored him like he had these few past days.

There it was.

The real reason why he was angry and bitter and why he wanted to slam the face of everyone who got Luke's attention into a wall.
He was jealous.

But he would never admit it, he was way too proud and didn't even understand how he could be jealous about his roommate.
Sure he had slipped a few times and messed around with him, but he wasn't attracted to him...

He didn't like the way he complained over meaningless things, nor the way that his dimple showed when he smiled, he didnt like they way he looked at him, he didnt like the way he talked and laughed, he didnt think he looked like an angel and he certainly didnt like the feeling of his lean body against his...

Shit

Aaron slammed his hand on his forehead.

Shit shit shit

What the hell was he thinking?
Now he was really angry, why the hell was he picturing Luke at his mercy just like he had been the other nignt, shivering in his arms.

He slammed the bathroom door fuming.

"Why on earth are you slamming the door so early in the morning?" growled Luke, who had just woken up.

Aaron turned around slowly and caught a glimpse of Lukes lower abdomen when the sheets slid down. It was too much and something in him snapped.

"Why the hell do you even care?" He retorted venomously.
"I was sleeping you asshole!"
"Well you're not anymore."
"Hey what is wrong with you, you wont talk to me for days and now you're banging doors at 6 am? Seriously, get a grip on yourself Aaron I can't deal with you anymore!"

"Its your fault." Muttered Aaron through gritted teeth.
"Its my fault again? I seriously dont understand you! One day you want to fuck me and the next you want to ignore me or send me straight to hell.

Make a damn choice Aaron, you cant have both!"
"What are you even talking about I dont want to fuck you!" Replied Aaron, raising the tone of his voice angrily.
"Oh yeah? Well it sure seemed like it when you kissed me!" Shouted Luke.

Aaron was taken aback, and is cheeks reddened instantly.
"I dont know what you're talking about." He repeated, eyes dropping to the ground.
"See? There's your problem Aaron. You never face anything, you just run away. Maybe since it's the only thing you're good at.

Aaron's head shot up.
"Shut up Luke." He snarled.
"No you dont get the right to say that. I'm fed up with your attitude, I want to change dorms, I've had enough." Luke got up and furiously shut the bathroom door behind him.

"Well, l guess were both slamming doors at 6 am now! Wonder what our neighbors will think." Shouted Aaron, making sure that Luke could hear him.

He finally left to cool down. How could Luke even dare get mad, he was the one ignoring him, tempting him and stirring up these ridiculous feelings.

Aaron and Luke spent the entire day appart, not even nodding to each other in the corridors and neither sitting at the same lunch table.

Even Ash seemed to feel the tension between the two and raised a brow each time they passed each other and threw death glares.
