Friendship, Love And Hate

Chapter 6 <Busy tonight>

I woke up not knowing what to expect from today. I angered Aaron and I don't know what he is capable of. Could he actually hurt me.? He was scary, and he is a jerk. But he couldn't harm me in any way right? I mean he did apologized for hurting my wrist and besides there was no sign that he did something. Oh my god. Why was I thinking about him so much. Today I am going to have kind of second date with Liam  and that's all that should matter.

Like always arriving at school  go straight to the maple tree. Today here was only Layla and Nora because guys were at some kind of sports practice. I don't really know what, but its kind of doesn't matter to me also.  I greet them " hey".

"Hey yourself" Layla spats at me angrily. Not even looking up from her phone. Oh god what again...

I eyed Nora questioning Layla's tone.

Nora rolled her eyes at Layla  " what Layla means is. Some kid from school saw you hanging out with Liam" she explains. Of course! So much for wanting to do this whole thing with Liam without any drama and here is already small one.

"And... that's bad? Why?" I ask worried on what I might hear.

Nora laughs it off "don't be dumb its not bad. I'm happy for you. " she says and hugs me tightly "finally dating"
" but Layla is mad because you didn't tell us. " Nora explained. Why do friends always need to know everything?

Layla looks at me and I mouth sorry to her. She just nods.

"So anyways... when are you too meeting again?" Layla asks.

"Tonight. actually" I say.

"And also how did it all start?" Layla questions. But without any emotion. I had a feeling that Layla didn't really care she just was snooping for information.

"Um. He just texted me" I say.

Nora gets excited " okay tell me everything"

"Am I would but... I need to go to teacher and ask her a few questions " I make up an excuse and leave. I didn't want to talk about it not until I know it will work. I don't want them to bug me all time asking about him.

I go straight to class and I knew that I had it with Riley, I was excited to meet her, she seemed... nice... weird for the way she dresses but still nice.

I enter class and there was only five people here and Riley was one of them sitting there and reading a book. Riley was new to this school and I noticed that not lot of people talked to her. It was quit surprising because she was really pretty girl.

Getting all my courage I walk to her and take a seat next to her. I hope she didn't change her mind on us being friends.  She didn't notice me probably because of her earphones. Hesitantly I poke her shoulder with my finger and she looks at me and smiles instantly taking out her earphones an closing her book.

"Hey" I greet her.

"Good morning Tori" she says to me. "What have you've been up to?" She asks.

Did I want to tell her? Why was is that when I'm around her I trust her and want to tell her things. I trust her... even more than my ...friends... I must be a horrible person if I tell a stranger about Liam rather than my friends. So I just forget about it.

"Nothing much. You?" I ask.

"Um... I entered this competition. Its drawing competition" she says to me and pulls out from her pocket a small paper where is written information about competition.

"You are good at drawing?"  I ask her.

"Well I try  and enjoy doing it. And if I get into top three it would mean the world to me" She said with her eyes full of excitement.
