I realized that the only way to have Aaron in my life was being just his friend, so that's what I was going to do, no matter how high my hopes could get because of the way he acted around me, I wasn't going to confront him again. For the first time I was going to be just his friend, with no ulterior motives, and enjoy his company while it lasted.

Aaron wasn't going to love me the way I wanted him to, ever.

"I can't believe I'm at risk to fail Literature" Aaron muttered, leaning his head on the wall.

Wednesday afternoon, after the history exam, the school was almost empty, but like every day after the tests, we were sitting on the floor of what I liked to call 'our spot' —outside our classroom leaning on the wall.

"I told you to read" I scolded him.

"Don't remind me" he pouted.

"Awwww" I pinched his cheeks. Expressing my thoughts was the only way to stop me from bursting again so my new philosophy was 'go with the flow' and constantly remind myself that: no matter what, Aaron was not in love with me.

"Hey!" Harper said walking to us.

"Hey, dude" Aaron replied while I did the peace sign.
