Fire and Ice (Wilder Series #2)

11. The Agreement

This is a long chapter and I'm I'm just warning you that Hanna overreacts a lot in this.

I hope you enjoy!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I slowly begin to groggily wake up from the excessive ringing of my phone.

Who is calling me this early in the morning?

I lazily reach out and grab said phone, blindly accepting the call and placing the speaker near my ear.

"What?" I grumble out incoherently

"Good morning to you too, princess" Aurelia's voice flows through the speaker with an amused tone

"What do you want, devil in disguise?" I practically whisper out since I'm still half asleep only for her to laugh at me

"I was hoping that we could talk about the elephant in the room" she suggests

"What time is it?" I ask her because I'm too tired to open my own

"It's seven in the morning" she says causing to basically jump up from my bed

Seriously?!

Why didn't my parents wake me?

Better yet, why didn't my alarm go off?!

"I need to get ready" I tell her, hoping that she'll understand

"Hanna, can we please talk about this, I don't want us to go back to basically strangers" she says with a sad tone of voice

I sigh as I bring my hand up to rest on my forehead.

"Okay, fine, lets meet at 'bubbles' and talk" I suggest to her

'Bubbles' is basically a small coffee shop near our school.

It's too far away for me to walk to, because it's in another town, but last night my mom told me that she would drive me to school.

"Great, I'll meet you there in forty five minutes" she informs me before hanging up

Ugh.

I grab my pillow and plop it down on my face while simultaneously flopping back on my bed.

I can already tell that today is going to be an eventful day.

My mom pulls up in front of the coffee shop before stopping.

"Hanna, if you wanted coffee I could've just made you some" she says as she eyes the small coffee shop

"While I appreciate that, I'm actually meeting Aurelia here, we're going to talk about the project" I tell her

She seems to perk up at this information.

"Sweetheart, that's wonderful" she says with a genuine smile

I quickly say goodbye to her and exit the car before she has a chance to embarrass me. As I'm making my way towards the coffee shop I notice the amount of sleepy teenagers basically wasting time inside of the coffee shop.

"Hanna, over here" I hear someone say across from me, I turn in their direction only to smile politely when I notice that it's Aurelia

I make my way over to her and take a seat on the wooden bench across from her.

"Hey" I greet as I set my backpack down beside me

"Hey, you look beautiful today" she greets with a smirk causing my eyes to widen
