help me do this - Aaron Carpenter FF

Chapter 11 - no morning persons

A shrill noise wakes me and I know exactly where it's coming from.

I growl, but all of a sudden the noise is gone.

I open my eyes and see a phone display.

It's 6.30 am. 

Aaron moves next to me and locks his phone again.

"Come on, we need to get up." he says tired.

"Mhm." I reply and sit on the edge of his bed.

He crawls out through the space next to me.

"Can I take a shower?" I ask him.

"Yeah, sure. Feel free to take a towel." he answers rubbing his eyes.

I open my suitcase and take my bag with toilet essentials and some clothes before I leave the room and head towards the bathroom. 

I take a quick shower and do my makeup. There's no time for me to blow dry my hair so I don't wash it.  I get dressed in a skinny blue jeans and a beige pullover. Then I brush my teeth.

 Still yawning I return to Aarons room, finding him shirtless facing towards his closet. I catch myself staring at his back, but I can end my gaze just in time.

I pack my school bag while watching him pulling a blue hoodie over his head. 

Aaron turns around and looks at me. "You ready?" he asks.

"I still gotta do some homework." I murmur. 

"Please use my desk. I'm just gonna go to the bathroom." he says and leaves the room.

I sit on the chair in front of his desk and do my homework.

Around 10 minutes later he returns and I put my stuff back into my bag.

"I'm finished, can we leave?" he asks.

"Of course." I smile at him.

I put on my Vans and Aaron and I leave the house.

"You slept alright?" he asks me, when we get into his car.

"Yeah." I say.

We keep silent for the rest of the ride and just listen to the radio.

Obviously we are both neither morning persons nor Monday lovers.

"Have a nice day." I smiles at him after we got out the car.

"See you for lunch?" he asks me.

"Yeah, I'll text you." I say turning around and I go to my locker.

"Hey." Chel greets me in class.

"Hi, what's up?" I smirk.

"You ask me what's up? You spent your whole weekend with Aaron, there must be something you need to tell me." she talks.

"We're not dating, if that's what you mean." I answer, rolling my eyes at her curiosity. 

She sighs. "He doesn't make a move, huh?"

"Who said I want him to make a move?" I say with an angry undertone.

"Chill. I know you like him." she grins.

"Shut up." I say.

"Whatever." she turns towards the blackboard and so do I.

Maybe I want to make him a move, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately he doesn't want to... My mood could be better.

Two lessons later Aaron texts me.

From: A

Hey :)

To: A

Hi

From: A

Where can I pick you up after this lesson?

To: A

Meet me at my locker.

From: A

Is everything okay?

To: A

Yeah

I don't know why I feel weird, it's crazy.

Nervous, I go to my locker to meet Aaron. "Hey." he says from behind me. "Hi" I say opening my locker. 

I know why I was feeling like that now. I was afraid of going to lunch with Aaron. No, I was afraid of Mason. 

"What's the matter?" he asks me.

"I, um- nothing." I stutter closing my locker again.

"Mason?" 

I slowly nod.

"I'm going to take care of him. Trust me." he says.

"Okay.." I  smile a little.

We enter the cafeteria and I spot Chelsea, Parker and Nash at one table.

"Ay Aaron!" Nash yells and raises his hand. 

Aaron walks towards them and sits next to Chelsea, on the opposite side of the table I sit next to Nash. 

Aaron and Nash start a conversation, I get up and try to get some of their attention.

"Can I get ya'll something to eat as well?" I ask.

"You'd get me some pasta?" Nash says.

"Sure, Aaron?" I look towards him.

"I'd be fine with some pasta too." he smiles at me before talking to Nash again.

I walk to the counter and get us all pasta. It's not easy to carry three plates at the same time.

I try to make my way through the other students carefully, when someone bumps into me.
