The First Night
I looked at the black lip ring in the palm of my hand as I pulled it out of the hat. We were playing 3 hours in heaven. Looking around I saw a hot emo boy in the corner with his knee up to his chest. I suddenly recognized him. It was Aiden from my math class, but he always sits in the back.
My friend, Jessie, went to get him. Together we walked into the room where I will be alone with him for 3 hours.
As soon as we were in the room, I went to sit in the corner and he sat on the bed. We stayed like that for about 30 minutes, until he asked, “Angelia, why won’t you talk to me?” I started to think, I have been quite for a while, then I answer, “I don’t know what to talk about,” He walked over and sat next to me. We sat there for a while then he asked, “How ‘bout we go somewhere better than this?”
I stared at him, “How? We can’t leave this room,”
“True,” he said, “but who said we had leave the way we came in,” There was a mischievous smile on his face. He got up and walked over to the window and jumped out. I got up to see if he landed safely and he did. He then held out his hands and said, “Come on, I’ll help you out,” I thought for a second and then put both my feet through the window. Then Aiden grabbed my legs tightly so I could hop out. When I hopped down we fell on the ground. I ended up landing on top of him but then I got off because he was panting a little. I then helped him off the ground. “You are heavier than you look,” he said with a smirk.
I started walking away but he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me back, “I was kidding. Can’t you take a joke?”
I shook his hand off my arm, “Actually I can. Just let me know when you’re telling one,” He just stared at me, and then laughed. “Good one” he says. We started walking towards the cars then he stopped. “What?” I ask walking back to him.
“Do you have the keys to your car?” he asks. I start checking my pockets. I was thinking about checking my purse but I realized that I left it inside. I shake my head and he says, “That’s what I thought. Guess we’re going to walk then,” He walks to the corner then turns around slightly and asks, “Are you gonna stay here or are you coming with me?” Neither, I say in my head. Instead of saying it aloud I started walking around the corner with him.
We walked for what seems like hours with a great distance in between us. Since we were in silence, it gave me time to think. I thought about Aiden and how he is. He always has girls cooing over him like he’s some great god. I always hated that, especially since the other girls don’t like him like I do. I’ve always liked him. But it’s kind of hard to like someone who always has girls sticking to him like hot glue.
My thoughts get interrupted when Aiden stops in front of a pizzeria. “Are you hungry?” he asks. I nodded my head in response. He opens the door and motions for me to go in first. He’s such a gentleman. I take a seat at the table by the window while Aiden orders for us.
He comes back with a half cheese and half pepperoni pizza. “I didn’t know if you liked pepperoni or just cheese. I hope this’ll do,”
“It’ll do,” I said, “And I’m more of a cheese person,”
“Figures,” He says with a smirk.
We both grab a slice of pizza and eat in silence. The silence lasted for about 25 minutes, and then I decided to grab one more slice of pizza and walk out of the pizzeria. “Where are you going?” Aiden asked. I ignored his question and continued to walk out of the pizzeria. Aiden sighed and started walking out with me. By the time he caught up with me I had found a bench to sit on. When Aiden sat down next to me he had grabbed my pizza from me. “Hey!” I exclaimed.
“What?” he asked, “I did pay for it,” And then he took a bite out of it. I was going to ask for it back, but I knew it would be hopeless.
“When you’re done eating my pizza,” I said, “we should start heading back,”
“You can go back by yourself,” he said.
“And why won’t you come with me?” I questioned
“’Cause I don’t wanna be at a party with lame people,” Aiden responded
I looked at him in shock, “Most of my friends are at that party and I can assure you that they’re not lame,”
“Sure, they’re not lame at all,” He said sarcastically.
I looked at him; he gave me a smirk and finished eating the pizza. I got off the bench and started walking back towards the house. At first I figured that he stayed behind and sat there, but I then heard the soft footsteps behind me. I turned around, but he didn't notice that I had and he ended up bumping into me. "I thought you weren't coming with me," I said after he stepped back.
"Yeah but I couldn't let a defenseless girl walk alone in dark," he said
"Hey! I'm not defenseless," I remarked
"Sure you’re not," he said sarcastically, again
"I am so tired of you being sarcastic. It’s really annoying," I said angrily. Before he responded I walked faster. He had then caught up to me, so I started to run. He was right on my heel, but every time he got close I would speed my pace. I had just turned around the corner when Aiden had tackled me to the ground. He sat up just enough for me to turn over. I just stared at him and he stared at me for a while. I then asked, "Are you gonna get off me anytime soon?"
"Oh," he said as he got off me, "Sorry," He then helped me get up. I had dust off any dust that was on me. I turned around and realize that we were in front of the house. The lights were still on, so that means we weren't gone that long. Also the window was still open, so we had a way to get back in. I started walking towards the window. I was about to try and get in, but I needed a little help getting in. I turned around and Aiden was just about to turn the corner. "Aiden!" I shouted. He turned around and started walking towards me. It felt like an hour had passed when he finally came to me. "What?" he asked
"Can you help me get through the window?" I asked with the nicest smile. He sighed then held out his hands. I put one foot in his hand and I tried to get half my body through the window. I struggled to get the rest of my body through the window. Then he lifted the rest of my body through the window. I landed with a loud thump and hoped that no one heard it. I looked back out the window and Aiden was still standing there. “Come on,” I said
“I told you I’m not going back to that lame party,” He said
“Please,” I begged
He laughed, “Do you really think that begging is gonna make me wanna stay,”
I nodded and shot him the puppy face. He sighed, “It’s not gonna work,”
“Fine then you can walk home and leave your car,” I said angrily. I then slammed the window shut. I was about to walk out the room, but I heard a knock on the window. I walked over to the window with a big smile and just looked at him. I opened the window just a bit so he wouldn’t be able to get in. “May I help you?” I asked with a sweet voice.
“Ha,” he said, “very funny. Now open the window so I can get in,”
“Um…I can’t do that,” I said
He sighed, “And why can’t you?”
“Well, if I let a stranger in then everyone will be in danger,” I said with a frown, and then I shut the window. Through the window I heard him say, “What are you talking about? Will you please open the window?” I just sat there and looked at him. He turned away and started walking to the front door. I open the window just before he reached the porch.
“Why take the door?” I asked. He sighed and walked over to the window. I stepped aside so he could get in. He kept struggling to get in and I just stood there and watched. I finally decided to help him through the window. I grabbed his hands and pulled as hard as I could. When he got through we landed on the floor with him on top of me and my back hurting. “We seriously have to stop landing on each other,” I said.
Then the door opened and Jessie stepped in, “Ok, times - ,”She stopped talking when she saw Aiden on top of me. Aiden hurried and got off me. “Obviously I have interrupted something,” she said. She walked out the door and left us alone again.
“Great, now she’s gonna tell everybody,” I said
“Tell everyone what? Nothing had happened,” he said
“You don’t know Jessie like I do,” I said, “She will make up anything. She is like the gossip queen,”
We both laughed. I was about to get up when I felt something on my hand. I looked down and Aiden’s hand was over mine. He soon noticed it too and removed his hand quickly. We went back to the party and people kept asking what happened in the room. I kept telling them that nothing had happened, but supposedly Aiden was telling a different story.

That night, when I got home, I took my shower and then I went straight to bed. I have to admit it was kind of fun hanging out with Aiden.

A NEW FRIEND

When I got out of bed the next day my feet were sore and my back was aching. Every step I took was painful, so I got back into my bed. As soon I was comfortable again my phone started ringing. I picked it up to see who was calling and it was Jessie. I really didn’t want to talk to her right now, but she’s my best friend.
“Hello,” I said
“Hey,” Jessie said
“You sound mighty cheerful at 8 am,” I said
“Well I’ve got someone to meet up with today,” she said
“Really,” I asked, “who is it?”
“Do you remember the guy who was wearing the really cute blue shirt, you know the kind of blue that I like, that’s who,” she said
“Oh really,” I said
“Yep,” she said happily, “he’s coming to pick me up soon,”
“Cool,” I said, “I got to get ready myself, so I’ll see you at school,”
“Ok, love you, bye,” she said then hung up the phone. I tried once again to get out of bed, this time ignoring every stinging pain in my foot. I went to my closet and pulled out my favorite tank top with flowers on one
