What You Caused

26.

Mia gasps from beside me and I send her an equally shocked look.

"This isn't the plan," she hisses, her head spinning to look back at Grace, almost  taking Dylan's eye out in the process with her hair. "Ohnononono."

"ILOVEYOUANDIWANTTOBEWITHYOUANDMIASAIDISHOULDHAVEYOURBABIES."

My mouth falls open. "Oh...girlll," I whisper. Second hand embarrassment shoots through me and on behalf of Grace I hope the earth swallows her whole.

"ITHINKYOURECUTEANDFUNNYANDREALLYNICE."

Jesus. This is agonising to watch.

"What is she doing?" Dylan asks, throwing us an incredulous look. He flits his eyes back and forth from Aidan & Grace and back to Mia and I.

"...I don't know," I reply honestly. And thats the truth. The poor girl's brain has turned into mush.

There's silence for a while after Grace finally stop rambling. Her eyes widen and she slaps a hand over her mouth immediately after realising what she had just said. Stumbling back, she briskly looks over her shoulder at the four of us staring absolutely horrified at her and her lips begin to tremble. I see her gaze latch onto the door at the end of the hallway and the cogs in her brain turn and she decides to make a run for it.

However, she doesn't even make it 10 centimetres away as Aidan promptly grabs her arm, stilling her and preventing her from escaping this horrible situation.

He gazes into her eyes for a second, still processing what she had just blurted out to him before thrashing his lips down onto hers.

Somebody screams loudly at the sight and I hastily spin my head around to see who it came from before realising it came from me.

Mia promptly joins in with my yelling...and then so do the guys and before you know it, the four of us begin jeering like hooligans, getting wierd looks thrown at us from people strolling through the halls.

"I love you too," Aidan responds, after pulling away from the kiss, his eyes twinkling and a silly smile playing on his lips. "I always have."

If this was a TV show, his heart would be glowing orange and yellow right now.

Grace's lips quirk into a small grin, mirroring Aidan's. "I know," she says and my smile immediately drops.

For a second there is confusion and Aidan's eyebrows furrow, wondering how on earth she knows when he hadn't told anyone his little childhood secret...except me.

Uh oh.

Realisation dawns on him and he looks over Grace's shoulder, his eyes searching for and finally landing on me. I quickly hide behind Lucas' tall frame.

"You!" He shouts from across the hall accusingly. "You broke your pinky promise!"

I wince before slowly peeking my head out from the side of Lucas's body and nodding solemnly. I open my mouth to begin apologising profusely, but don't the chance as Aidan interrupts me.

"You know what that means?" He smirks, an evil glint replacing the twinkle that had been in his eye prior. "I break mine."

His gaze turns to Lucas before coming back to mine and he opens his mouth to speak, just as a I hurdle forward, grabbing Grace by the arm and throwing her into Aidan, promptly cutting him off.

"Why don't you two go back to kissing!" I chuckle nervously. "I'm going to be late for home room!"

And with that I turn and run straight down the hall, never looking back.
