Euphoria

Chapter Seven

That Monday morning I woke feeling like I was on cloud 9. The events of yesterday replaying in my head as I floated around my room getting ready for school. I couldn't wait to see Luca again. I looked myself over one more time in the mirror, fixing my hair before leaving. My cousins were already waiting for me at the car.

We stopped at a coffee shop on our way to school. Aiden was pretty persistent about that. He told us to wait in the car while he took our orders. Something seemed a little fishy, but I chose to ignore it and focus on what I would do if I were to bump in Luca. It was important for me to go through this so that I wouldn't stammer over myself again.  I really need to get a life! One conversation with the guy and I'm going crazy. You know what, no more obsessing. Time to just focus on myself and do me.

"What do you think he's hiding from us?" Alyssa asked from the backseat. I just shrugged in response not knowing what to say.

"Maybe he's actually robbing the place and doesn't want us to be involved." Alyssa and I just looked at Kaiden who smiled sheepishly. "What? It could happen." He returned his attention to his phone.

She kept staring at the entrance of the coffee shop narrowing her eyes in suspicion. She finally jumped with an uh huh manner "What if he is hiding a girl from us?" She practically screamed in the car.

"Maybe, maybe not." Was all Kaiden said looking slightly annoyed with the fact this could be true. Do twins keep things from each other? Or do they tell each other everything? Questions I would have to ask another time.

She kept going on about how she wanted to burst in there and confront him or something. I actually stopped listening at some point. But Kaiden just told her to knock it off and respect his privacy. "Technically its not a private coffee shop sooo" She dragged the o on, which annoyed Kaiden.

But before anything else could happen, Aiden came strutting out with our coffees in a tray. He quickly got in and gave us our drug infused drinks which give us the energy to get through this Monday morning. He kept smiling to himself which made me wonder what or whom it could be that made him smile like that.

We finally got to school and went our separate ways as soon as classes started. My first class consisted of Math. Noah took his regular seat next to me and had a grin plastered across his goofy face. I gave him a confused look but he just arched his brows at me.

I finally got irritated with his dumb look "What? What's up with that dumb smirk?" He leaned in closer so that no one could hear us.

"You gonna tell me what happened yesterday oh Juliet?" At first I didn't get what he  was on about. But it then dawned on me that he was talking about Luca and I. Damn Alyssa and her big mouth.

I started blushing as I tired to hide my face in embarrassment. "Nothing happened, and why am I Juliet? Why not Romeo huh?" He could barley hold in his laugh at this point, which made me blush more as the other students turned their attention towards us. I didn't like the attention we were getting at this point. I took out my books and waited for the teacher to arrive. Which seemed to take forever as I got attacked by Noah and his questions.

"Noah cut it out!" I begged for him to stop

"Then just tell me what's the deal." He edged his seat closer waiting for my response.

"Why do you need to know?" I shot back as I scooted away from him, but he didn't budge.

"Well .... because I'm your best friend now." Did he just call me his best friend? I.. never had one. Was this what it felt like to have one? Annoying, caring and all up in your business? I finally sighed in defeat and looked at him as a huge grin spread across his face.
