This Isn't You

Aaron..?

     I walked to school. I got there and saw Aaron quietly standing at his locker.

     "Hey," I smiled.

     "Hey." He looked up at me.

     "How are you?" I smiled. 

     "Good, you?" He asked.

     "Good," I smiled. 

     "Well, I have to get to class. See you later," He said. I nodded.

     "See ya," I smiled. We went off to our separate classes. 

                                                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     At lunch I walked over  to Aaron and saw him sitting with another guy. A guy I'm quite familiar with, too familiar with. Gene... Who wasn't too nice.  nAaron looked up at me.

     "Hey, Aph," He said.

     "Hey..," I said. 

     "Hey," Gene smirked. I took a deep breath and sat down. I sighed and ate quietly.

                                                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     After school I walked outside and saw Aaron, Gene, and Ein beating someone up. I stood in shock. This isn't the Aaron I know. I walked over, nervous. Aaron looked up at me. He walked up to me.

     "Aaron..?" I nervously asked.

     "Yes?" He asked.

     "Th-This isn't like you," I said.

     "You don't know the true side of me, Aph. I've always acted a lot nicer around you, but I'm done being fake," He said. I looked down. What are you supposed to say to that? I sighed.

     "I should get home," I said.

     "Ok," He said. I walked home. What is going on..?
