Friendship, Love And Hate

Chapter 17 <Always the quiet ones>

After school Harry invited us to his house since his parents are on a vacation. To be honest I wasn't very excited to go... just because Aaron will be there. I'm just so angry with him. With his bipolar behavior. It's not like I was in love with him. He just was so nice to me and I really thought that he liked me and that made me think I like him back. Right now I am staring to doubt love. How can one people tell that he is in love? How do you know its love?

People in life get lonely and then they chose a random person to spend their life with... kind of ironic I think. People actually believe that there is a soul mate to everyone. People think they are loved when all they are getting is a simple care for them.

So right now Riley was trying to talk me into going. She literally came to my house. "Riley. I am not going" I say sitting on my living room couch.

"You know that I will talk you into going right?" She smirked.

Grandma walked over to us and sat opposite. "Victoria. I think that you should go. It would be rude to let your friend down like that." She gestured at Riley "look at her. She needs you there" and of course Riley needed to make puppy dog eyes.

It was weird that grandma was here so often. I was used to being with just Cam and dad. My dad never actually is interested in my social life, not like he needs to, but I am so used to being on my own I don't know how to act when grandma is so interested.

"I am not holding her back. She can go without me."

"There will be four more boys. I will be only girl there. And how will that look?" She pouted

"Since when do you care about what others think about how it looks?" Riley shrugs her shoulders.

"You don't want to go only because Aaron is going to be there"

"Who? Victoria's boyfriend?" Grandma questioned.

I screamed in frustration "he isn't my boyfriend."

Grandma eyed me "he told us this morning, no need to hide it" I decide to not answer to that.

Riley seemed defeated "Tori please. We don't have much time" she said sincerely. Which made me raise an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

She shook her head like shaking thoughts out "were seniors and after we will go to college. Who knows where road will take us."

"But we can still be friends after high school." I reasoned.

"Please. For me. "She pleaded. And how could I say no.

The next thing I know we were taking bus to Harrys place. It wasn't far which I am thankful for.

We drove to a place with nice two story houses.

Walking by we saw that in one house front yard were police car parked. And police officer stood at the door. And he was talking to... Mr. White? I didn't know he lived here.

I nodded Riley's shoulder to make her look. Mr. White looked angry, I have never seen him angry, and he's always this down to earth person keeping everything easy.

Probably some misunderstanding. The only crime Mr. White could do is accidentally killing a fly, that's how good he is. I would be mad too if police was questioning me about something I didn't do.

We reached Harrys house, and Riley knocked on the door. After a while Harry came in the view. "Hey girls. Come in"

We walked further in the house following voices that were talking and laughing.

Of course Max was the first to react. "My favorite weirdoes are here" he exclaimed raising his bear.

"Weirdo's? That's rich coming from a geek" I say and point to his T-shirt which had dinosaur on it.
