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

'You.' He said, looking right at me. My heart skipped a beat. Holy crap, was he going to confess his love to me? Lost for words, I just looked dumbly back at him.

'Don't worry, I am not in love with you.' He added, seeing the look on my face, I blushed, whoops, guess now I am the one who over think it. 'You just made me think, and since I helped you once, might as well be consistent, right?' He said giving me wink.

'Huh?' I asked, still dumb folded, it made a bit of sense, but only a bit. He chuckled at my expression. 'I have my reasons, and I meant what I said last time.' He said with a another wink, I rolled my eyes at him. And people say women are mysteries, men aren't any better. I thought angrily.

However hard I try to weasel the 'reasons' behind Aidan's help towards me, I couldn't get anything out of him (He actually went as far as to go in the girls bathroom with me while I clean my top). Hannah, who saw the whole thing unfold brought me a ham and cheese sandwich and gave it to me, the whole time giving Aidan a weird look.

Aidan, who was fully aware of Hannah's attention to him chuckled and left, but not before messing up my hair again. I scrowled at him while he waved goodbye to me in a gesture so causal that it was like we had been friends forever. My heart still flustered even though he made it clear that it didn't like me, like I said, it doesn't make him any less hot.

Hannah watched him leave with an open-mouthed, I can't help but smirk at her expression, it was like a kid in awe of the tall Christmas tree for the first time. 'OMG, is he like, in love with you?' Hannah squealed. I resist the urge to cover my ears or to roll my eyes.

'No, we are just friends.' I said, Hannah's glance lingered at where Aidan had left with a dream-like expression, I gave her a shove snapping her out of her trance.

'What? He is so hot.' She said, I tutted at her. 'Remember Oliver?' I asked with a playful tone, Hannah immediately turned scarlet making me laugh. I managed to finish my sandwich just before the bell rang and we headed back to class.

After that people had stop being outright mean to me, there were still a couple snide remarks and an awfully lot of whisper going on, but at least the whole you-are-invisible-so-I-slammed-into-you thing and the silly gangster talk had stopped. Thanks to Aidan.

God, I have never thought that one day I will thank Aidan Owen. It wasn't just him though, surprisingly, Alison, Bethany, Olivia (and Gina of course) and a couple of jocks (Ethan, Nick and co) whom I was rather friendly with stood up for me too. Most people decided not to take sides, seeing as this would probably die down by the end of term if not this year as Will graduate, and nothing escalate higher than nasty remarks in corridors and class. But somehow at the back of my mind I knew that things could get nasty.

The strange thing is that Aidan now sit with us at lunch, along with Alison. She told me after school that day that she was sick and tired of Tori and her possy. We ended up getting a lot of glares from Tori's table and glances from the rest of school who just can't get use to this.

I managed to avoid Will most of the time, my tactics includes running in the opposite direction or dashing into the girls' bathroom whenever I saw him in corridors, which took care of most of the time since we didn't share any classes. But I still had to see him every week in the School Committee's meeting, when I will resort to only-speak-if-necessary tactics.

I was trying to get out of the classroom after the meeting as soon as possible, but unfortunately so did the entire senior class, who wanted to rush off to their yearbook meeting held in hall. I tried to push my way through but being the smallest person it was a lost course. I sighed internally as I felt someone held on to my arm and pulled me to face him.

'Anna, you can't avoid me forever.' said Will, looking down at me sadly. I shook his arm off and huddled the books closer to my chest, my heart beating wildly. A month after the break up and I am still not over him. I really need to research into how-to-get-over-a-guy.

'Look, I know you don't trust me anymore, but I am really, really sorry for what happened, okay?' He said, looking sincere, and I didn't doubt that. But what use is it? Him feeling sorry, I meant.

'I know you are, but that doesn't mean anything, not anymore.' I replied, trying to push him out of the way and leave the classroom, but he blocked me. I looked up at him feeling frustrated, I just want to get over him in peace, and the best way would be not to see him anymore, and he isn't helping.

'I am trying to make it up to you.' He said desperately, running a hand through his hair. 'I made sure that they didn't do anything more to humiliate you or hurt you.' he added, as if expecting some sort of gratitude on my side.

I looked at him with disbelieve. 'I don't think you did.' I said coldly, so he didn't really want to apologize, he wanted to gloat. 'But I think Aidan did.'

His face turned red when I mentioned Aidan. 'So are you two dating now?' He asked angrily, 'or were you two at it even when we were dating? I heard you guys are lab partners.'

By now I was glaring at him, so now he is accusing me of cheating on him. I resisted the urge to hit him repeatedly with the heavy books in my hand and took a deep breath. Will shifted uncomfortably from one foot to another. 'I am sorry, that came out wrong.' He sighed, 'I, I just wanted you to know that I will make sure they won't harass you again, that's the least I can do.'

He then proceed to bend down and kissed me on the cheek, but I jumped away like he was a fire before he could and he frozed. 'I guess I deserve that.' He said, before leaving the room. I sighed too, I never thought we would end up this way, but things never goes as planned, I should know that by now.

True to his words, everything died down when February rolled around. People seemed to have forgotten that Will and I were ever together. The only thing that left to prove this was the fact that Alison still sat with us, and now Aidan Owen was a friend.

I didn't know whether it was Will or Aidan who pulled this off, my guess would be they both did their bit, and Aidan had also somehow managed to survive Whitney, the two of them were still together and although she still seemed to hate me as much as ever, but she didn't do anything anymore.

'What did you say to her?' I asked Aidan when we were doing an experiment in Chemistry, now that we are friends, we got along a lot better and got on surprisingly well. Aidan winked at me over the burette.

'It's a commercial secret.' He said, swirling the conical flask under the dripping burette, I watched the pretty pink colour appears and disappeared in swirls as the Potassium Magnate droplets fall in the flask, smiling at his joke.

'Why are you two together.' I asked, this question had been driving me crazy for months now. I mean, when he talked to me after the back to school party it didn't seemed like as if he liked her too much, and then he came to my defense which would have upset Whitney immensely and yet he still managed to be friends with me and stay together with her.

I waited patiently for Aidan to answer, making sure that the solution was still transparent overall. Just as I thought he wouldn't answer me, he spoke. 'We go way back.' He finally said, I raised an eyebrow at him making him chuckled.

'We had been through a lot together, I mean, we grew up together.' He said, I nodded, I remembered that, seeing as I am Whitney's neighbor for like, all my life. Those two use to play together all the time, their parents were family friends, that's how I developed my crush on him, because he was there all the time. Come to think of it, Andy was always sitting at the side reading, I smiled at the memory of me staring at them from my bedroom window. It seemed like an age ago, I would probably had a heart attack if I told myself then that I would one day be lab partner to Aidan Owen.

I smiled at the memory, Aidan smiled too, I guessed he was strolling down memory lane as well. 'Behind all the well, bitchiness, she is a nice person.' He said, I snorted making him laugh. Oh crap, the solution had turned pink, I quickly closed the burette tap and glared at Aidan, who put up his hands in mock surrender.

'Hey, you know I am bad at this, that's why I am in a sophomore class.' He said, I rolled my eyes at him and check the solution, thank god I turned it off in time, it's only a slight baby pink. Mrs Jackson came over and nodded to say that it was fine, I gave out a sigh of relieve and shot Aidan a dirty look.

I saw out of the corner of my eyes that Whitney was glaring at us with a scrowl on her face. I turned around so I wasn't facing her and jerk my head towards her at Aidan. 'Are you sure about that.' I asked, he laughed and we continued to finish our experiment joking around and making fun of each other.

School went by in a blur and before I knew it, posters of Valentine's Day went up everywhere in school. Girls were huddling together in groups in corridors giggling, I mentally rolled my eyes, I was never one for Valentine's Day, I mean, you hope that you can get something from someone, and then in the end you might end up getting nothing, or you get rejected, when everyone else around you were all happy and lovey dovey, that's self-torture.

I knew that Oliver had made a plan for Hannah, because he came up to me one day and asked me to help him. Those two are so cute together that I tried very hard not to squealed everytime I see them together. Melissa and Luke always have plans together, those two are definitely going to get married one day! Alison and I decided that we were just going to watch Valentine's Day movies at my house and eat chocolate and mourn over our non-existence love life.

However, things never goes as planned.

things usually NEVER go as plan for me too....mainly because I am lazy..haha
