Friendship, Love And Hate

Chapter 9 <Hate towards each other>

I had texted Riley to ask Aarons address. And with condition that we hang out after she gave it to me. Although she did question me but its not like its a secret so I did tell her why I needed it. But of course Riley got a little too excited. Because well apparently me and Aaron have 'a spark' as she says. Well if by spark she means flaming hate towards each other than yes. We have a spark.  

It took me half an hour by walking and about dozen suspicious dudes to get there, because if wanted to get there faster I needed to make some shortcuts, and this shortcut was sketchy. With bunch of stray cats, catcalls, smell of junk.

This place was opposite to where I lived from school, so it will be hell of a long way home.

Getting to my destination there is a fancy house. It wasn't like in the rich side of the town it was somehow better it felt cozy in a way.   The house was smaller, still big but just a little smaller. but it looked more modern than those other ones. Why everyone had such nice houses!...

I didn't step into the front yard just yet. I didn't want to do this. Really. Shit! what am I doing. I can just tell Riley to bring it to him that would make much more sense. Besides I don't really know if he wants to see me... maybe he isn't that mad? I walked few steps into the front yard past the gates which were open by the way. I still need to say 'thank you'. Right? I can't just act like nothing happened. But on the other hand..

Nope. I can't do this. I turned around and almost walked into a wall just few inches apart. Wait where did this wall come from. Oh did I think wall. No fucking shit... it was Aaron fricking Jones. still wearing all black. Does he own any other colors?. Okay that besides the point.

I quickly step back from him because this made me too uncomfortable.

My heart was beating like crazy. Out of surprise I just blurt out very stupid question "what are you doing here?" I say quickly and soon after I realize what I said.

"Looking for intruders" He answers crossing his arms "And you?"

"What me?" I was confused but then it hit me. Why do I have to be so dumb. "Oh yea. Amm I. Just." I stuttered, after noticing the stutter I stop myself and take a deep breath and get my sense back. " Teacher asked me to give you these paper works so you can study. You know since you are suspended. Because of me. And I'm so sorry." I say as fast as possible and avoiding eye contact. I give him the folder and walk past him. To get out of this,  But I stopped and clenched my eyes shut taking a deep breath out of defeat.

I turned around and he was already staring  at me. This time with my eyes focused on his "thank you." I manage to say and not sound like a total dumbass.

He just nods. "Try not to get into those  kind of situations." He explainned shifting folder in his hands. " At least when I'm not there. " he said back... I nodded and turned away to leave but once again I stopped.

"Are you mad at me? Yea I know that you don't like me but are you mad at me for suspension?" Wow Victoria where did all that confidence come from? Actually asking a decent question. Wow. Shocker...

He looked in the distance like thinking for a moment. "You didn't do anything wrong." I felt like he wanted to say more but didn't, just the way he said it, like the sentence needed to continue.

"But you are now suspended" I tried to reason "and if I wouldn't have talked back to him. None of this would be happening." Recalling what Nora said. I say but some kind of thought got into my mind." But also you know you shouldn't have gotten in that situation." I face palm myself. What kind of thank you was that Victoria. Geez. I shook my head "what I mean is. You could have just not get involved. Its not like you had to do that. But Thank you. I appreciate what you did."
