Chapter 14 Inverse
Hey guys check out my new cover by crazzylover! I love it :D
anyway I enjoyed writing this chapter a lot, it just kind of came to me :)
------------------------
'Can I talk to you for a second Anna? Alone.' he asked, I gulped down my mouthful of pasta and nearly choked. Luke said he wasn't he school! I shot Luke a panic glare and he seemed to understood my thought since he gave me a I-honestly-don't-know look back.
Crap, do I say yes or no? If only Will was here. My thoughts were running a thousand miles per hour trying to figure out what to do, I looked over at Alison and Hannah, Alison nodded faintly while Hannah shook her head. Great, conflicting opinions.
Aidan was still standing behind me waiting for me to follow him and go elsewhere for our 'talk'. I suddenly realised how quite the dinning room was and it hit me that everyone was watching us. Our own little drama in the cafeteria.
I caught sight of Gina who gave me a head jerk movement indicating for me to go, I stood up reluctantly (I can't very well said no to him and return to my food, everyone is watching and I might as well get this over and done with). Aidan's calm face broke into a smirk, I knew that he had no doubt that I would have 'a talk' with him, being an arrogant jerk and all.
'We will be waiting for you.' Alison called out, then pulled out her phone and started to text frantically. I think she was worried about Aidan trying to strangle me in the washroom. I hope he wasn't going to. Maybe tasering him was a little too much.
I really need to stop talking to myself, it's not healthy. I might be getting those split personality. Oh shut up mind.
Aidan lead me down the hall into an empty classroom. At least that's better than a storage cupboard, because I would freak if he did. I put my hand around the taser in my pocket, if he tried anything at all, he was going to get another taste of electricity.
After I walked in Aidan closed the door, but he didn't lock it, probably figured I would taser him again if he did. He turned around to look at me with an exasperated look on his face running his hand through his hair and we stood there for a minute in silence. I raised my eyebrow at him, seriously, I did not come here to look at him playing hot and waste my time, not that he wasn't hot. Come one Anna, snap out of it!
'What do you want, spill it.' I broke the silence, Aidan's unfathomable blue eyes were staring right at me, he grunted and muttered something to himself before replying.
'What is wrong with you.' he asked me, looking genuinely confused. I was taken aback, what is wrong with me? He came into the cafeteria, dragged me to an empty classroom to ask me what's wrong with me?
He must had seen the anger in my face since he backed up a little, before carrying on. 'How come you are immune to me?' he blunted, I looked at him in disbelieve, what an egotistic player. But then and again, I can see that he had never been turned down by a girl in his entire life. True that it was also because of the type of girls he usually go for, but also because he was unbelievably hot.
If it wasn't for what I overheard that night at the party, I probably will be falling at his feet too. But even with that information in hand it's still hard not to stare. OK Anna, think about Will.
'That's because not everyone's type is jerk.' I replied coolly, Aidan gave out an exasperated sigh and edged closer to me. I stepped back involuntarily trying to create more space between us. I might act calm, but I most certainly did not feel calm.
'You know what I meant.' Aidan spilled out each word carefully, staring right at me. The atmosphere around us became tense, I swallowed hard, feeling very uncomfortable with this, I thought I might as well tell him the truth, it's not like there is any harm in spilling my beans now is there?
'I heard what you and Whitney said about me.' I said, ' at your party at the start of summer.' Aidan blinked in surprise, I guess he wasn't expecting that, I bet he didn't even remember it. All he cared about right then was kissing Whitney. Ew.
'I didn't mean it.' he said softly, running a hand through his hair again looking slightly annoyed. My eyes widened, so he remembered. Guess I am not as good at predicting his behavior as I thought, he said he didn't mean it now, right, he just doesn't want me to taser him again.
I must had disbelieved written all over my face, since he chuckled and continued. 'It's not easy being popular, okay? And Whitney hates you, so I was just playing along.'
'And you are telling me this because?' I asked, glancing at my watch to see I only had fiveteen minutes of lunch left. This guy is wasting my time, I just want to finish my tuna pasta bake.
'I just want you to know that I am not as bad as you think.' He said, then sigh. 'I don't even know why I am bothering with this myself.'
I walked to the door thinking over what he said, then half turned around. 'Well,' I started, Aidan looked at me with a smirk, probably thinking that I will be confessing my undying love for him and all was forgiven. ' that still doesn't change anything, it just meant that you are a lying jerk to your girlfriend and a two face son of a b*tch.' I finished, he looked surprise, I faked a sweet smile at him before slamming the door shut. What did he think that was going to get him, guys are so dumb.
'Wait Anna, that came out wrong.' Aidan ran out of the room after me and grabbed my wrist pulling me to a stop. I tried pulling my hand free but his grip was too strong, I sighed and turned back at him.
'Class is starting in ten minutes.' I said, hoping he would just let this go, it's not good for his image if people see him pulling me in the hallway. Aidan looked frustrated and dropped my hand.
'I just wanted you to know that I didn't really meant to well, harass you at the party, and that well, I know you won't believe me, but I am not like that.' yeah right I thought. Aidan rolled his eyes at me, oh crap, I must had said that out loud.
'Forget it, I don't even know why I am trying to explain to you, I am going to get a hard time for coming into the dinning room and dragging out anyway.' he said, I had no doubt he meant from Whitney. I looked at him intently, could he be telling the true, if he was, then why? Why was he telling me, why was he acting like such a player jerk?
'Why are you telling me?' I asked. Aidan shrugged, looking extremely like Andy in that moment.
'You tell me, I don't know.' He said, and laughed. 'Maybe because I just don't want you to taser me again.'
My hand involuntarily flew to my pocket where the taser lay. Aidan saw it and his eyes widened slightly and took a tiny step back. 'You have it with you?' he asked, incredulous.
'Better safe than sorry.' I shrugged, the tension between us seemed to lift and we laughed for a bit. Aidan looked at me with an adorable puppy dog face.
'Is there any chance we can be friends? I swear I won't try anything again, I mean, you are armed.' He said, pleading with his eyes, I could tell he was seriously about wanting to be friends.
'I will think about it.' I said, smiling a little and walking back to the cafeteria. Five minutes left, I hope Hannah haven't cleared my plate for me.
'I will take that as a yes!' Aidan shouted behind me, I smiled a little at hearing that. I guess I can handle being friends with Aidan, I mean, if he tries anything, my friend Mr Taser would make sure that he got what he deserves.
'Hey, come on, you got a few minutes.' Hannah saw me coming back in and waved me to the lunch table. I smiled big as I saw that she kept my plate of tuna pasta bake. I quickly wolfed down the pasta. I heard someone running towards our table, turned around and saw Will.
'What did he told you?' He asked, slightly out of breath from running with a look of concern on his face.
'Nothing really, he just apologized for Friday night.' I said, which was true, I just wasn't telling him the whole story. Something was holding me back from telling Will that Aidan and I are 'friends' now, somehow I just didn't think it was such a good idea.
Relieve seemed to flood through Will's face, which was odd, what did he think Aidan was going to do? We are still in school ground after all. 'Just glad that you are okay Anna bear.' He said, ruffling my hair a little. I dodged his hand with a frown and tidied my hair.
As I put away my lunch tray I saw Will visibly relaxed and talked with some of his friends. Something was wrong about the way he responded, but then I had no experience whatsoever in the relationship department so I don't really know what's normal and what's not, so maybe I am just overreacting. I try to pushed this off my mind as Will walked me to my homeroom like his normal self, smiling warmly at me. Definitely over reacting. Or so I hoped.
--------------------
So what do you think? Is Aidan a good guy? Any teams out there for who you want Anna to end up with? I am still deciding ;D
