Lunch Tuesday.
*Aph's POV*
"Hey Aph! Over here." Aaron called me over. I smiled and made my way there.

Only to be tripped by the one and only, Ivy. "Whoops. Sorry, nerd!" She started laughing, along with everyone else in the cafeteria.

I got up and brushed myself off.

Smiling at her, trying to make it look real, I speak to her, "It's okay. Actually I'm sorry, I don't really think I know you, so what is your name?" I ask politely.

I hear Aaron snicker behind me, and it only makes my smile wider. As I look at her.

"Oh! You are so gonna get it! You are just a useless good-for-nothing little potato that nobody likes! I think you should go kill yourself already!

"But as everybody can see, you have already tried before, just look at your arms. I think you should just go die, because nobody cares about you! All of your friends have left you along time ago.

"It's only fitting that they will do it again! So you should go kill yourself!"
She finally stopped her little rant, and I just kept smiling.

"What did you just say young lady?! I know you didn't just say all that nasty stuff to this girl. She has already been through enough! You. Of all people should know that! I don't care if you're family or not! I will not tolerate that in my school! Ivy, principals office, now."
Principal Vickie, or Ivy's mom, commands.

"Thanks Aunt Vickie!" I exclaim.

"Aunt Vickie?!?!" Everyone in the cafeteria ask confused.

"Oh! Y'all don't know? Well this girl here is my niece! I'm her Dad's sister. And that does mean that Ivy and Aphmau are cousins. Just like Ivy and Lily are cousins." Aunt Vickie exclaims, she doesn't know that she probably just ruined my life.

"You weren't supposed to say that!" I whisper to her.

"Y-You are my cousin. And I didn't know about that." Lily stands up shakily.

I slowly nod my head yes, kinda scared.

She then engulfs me into a hug. "I am SO sorry! So so sorry about the way I treated you!" She whispers to me. I slowly hug her back smiling a bit.

When we pull away, I stick my hand out for her to shake. "Friends?" I question.

She nods her head, shaking my hand, "Friends."

I then lead her to me and Aarons table.

"This is my best friend, Aaron. Aaron, this is my cousin and new friend, Lily." He nods to her. A slight blush on his cheeks. Of course I notice it. And we all sit back down.

I slightly nudge Aaron.

He looks at me startled, losing his train of thought. I smirk at him. He immediately stands, trying to get away from me.

I just reach out and grab his wrist.

"You can't get away that easily, FC." He sighs and sits down.

We both turn to look at Lily. She gets flustered at Aarons stare. And looks away, blushing.

I squeal. Apparently really loud because everybody looks our way. Aaron puts his hand over my mouth shushing me.

I slap his hand away.

"You lliiiiikkkeee~ each other." I mimic Happy from Fairy Tail, giggling. They each turn a bunch of shades red.

"Shu! Shut up!" Aaron exclaims still quiet. But I keep squealing. And giggling. "If you do, I will buy you any poster that you want."

I shut up. And smile, just before the bell rings. I send a knowing look towards Lily.

She looks away. And I smile bigger if possible.

I will get them together....hehehe..
I will have the best plan...

-----------------

"What??" I exclaim at my math teacher.

"I'm sorry Aphmau. There is nothing I can do. You need a tutor so I have paired you with Garroth."

No no no no no no no no. I can't do that. I sigh out loud. "I guess I have no choice." I mutter but she somehow hears me.

She claps happily. "That's great that you agreed! He already said yes-"

"Of course he did.." I mutter as she goes on.

"What day? Or days? Did he say?" I question breaking her speech.

"Oh! Yes. Tuesday's and Thursday's." She states cheerfully. I nod solemnly. Well. I guess I have to postpone Aaron and I's game tonight. Ugh..

-------------------

After school Tuesday (still)

I am now waiting by the gate to walk home with Aaron and Garroth. I already explained everything to Aaron so...he should be here any minute.

"Hey Aph!" I turn around and smile glad that it's Aaron here first instead of Garroth.

"Were you fantasizing about you and Lily together?" I question him teasingly. He nudges my shoulder, blushing. And I giggle.

Suddenly Garroth runs up to us, panting. "Sorry. Left some stuff in a class." He stated while huffing. I suppress the urge to giggle.

"Well then. Let's go, guys." I cheer. Aaron looks at me weirdly and I mouth to him 'We'll talk later.' He nods and we continue on our journey, to my house.

I hate to admit it, but, I really missed Garroth. And now I have to see him every Tuesday and Thursday.
