A Summer's Secret

☼Chapter 12

"Hey A," she said, as her hand made contact with mine, "I'm so glad I found you coz' I've been meaning to ask you something," she added.

"Yeah? What is it that you would like to ask me?" I answered her, still trying to keep my coolness as I glanced through my peripheral vision, only to see my ex-best friend rolling her eyes at me.

"Well, I wonder if you would like to watch the big football game with me later?" She asked.

"Uhh- well sure," I replied, trying not to sound a bit too eager, "I mean, I promised my good friend Ethan that I'd watch him play so yeah, I would love to watch the game with you later."

"Ethan Gray," she mumbled more to herself than to me, and for a moment there I thought that her expression changed, I just couldn't decipher the emotion in her face because it left as soon as it came, "well that would be great," she said as her attention made its way back to me once again.

"Cool," I answered.

"Yeah," she replied with a wink, before she gave me a quick hug and went on her way to wherever cool kids hang out for Lunch.

As I was contemplating where to spend my last lunch of Spirit Week at, I felt my stomach grumble and that's when it occurred to me that I really, really have to find that place soon or else I could turn into a Hulk.

"Hey Asia."

I turned around to see Glen waving at me, I smiled and waved back at him. I was in a hurry but I didn't want to be rude, after all he is my brother's best friend and Glen is definitely one of the coolest guys I've met in my life.

"See ya later at the game!" he said, cupping his mouth with his hands.

"Sure," I replied, shrugging as I proceeded to walking backwards instead so that I'll be able to speak with the guy properly.

I watched Glen as his facial expression turned into a weird version of shock as he pointed at something behind me. It was too late when I read his lips saying, "look out," because I already felt the wind sweeping through my hair as I braced myself for a face-first impact only to find myself staring right into the eyes of the person I was least eager to see.

"You are such a cluts," he said with a playful smirk and I hate to admit it but tingles were spreading along my spine at the touch of his hand. It brought back the memory of last night as I felt the warmth of his body in his safe embrace.

"Whatever," I replied as I hurriedly brought myself up, ignoring Aiden's attempt at offering me a helping hand.

Remember when I said that I thought Aiden might have become a changed man? Well, now maybe I'll have to take those words back.

"A, I was wondering," he said, rubbing his nape.

"Yeah?" I replied, with a suspicious look at Aiden.

"I was wondering if you had any plans for Lunch already," he replied.

I noticed something about Aiden, and that is I think he really is a bipolar psycho. One minute an angel and the next, a child of the devil.

"Well, now that you mentioned it, I was actually about get some lunch before you bumped into me," I replied with my hands crossed in front of my chest.

"Excuse me, I bumped into you?" He said, prolonging the I.

I rolled my eyes as a reply instead, I was starting to get tired of our bickering.

"So?" He said, raising his brows.

"Are you gonna ask me out to lunch Aiden Walker because seriously I'm so hungry already," I said as I uncrossed my arms and returned a smirk at him.
