In the chapter Aurora or Ares will annoy you a lot because it's very complicated when it comes to their feelings for each other. But since when is love not complicated or difficult?
AURORA
Monday, 17th January
This is the first day of school after the trip. It's weird being at school. Not because of the trip. I was only gone a week, but because of Ares. I couldn't forget about the kiss between us.
It's like it's burned into my head, the problem is that it was so good. Everything about him seemed created by God. The pace, the movements, the passion, the dominance.
Even worse, it was Ares. Him of all people, this person I can't stand, being my best kiss like that? He thinks anyway that it was the same as with his other girls.
Why does everything always have to be so complicated? "Aurora Mitchell, please come to the director." And what did I do now? "Did you mess up without me knowing about it?" Quinn raised her eyebrows as if she's disappointed that I didn't let her join me.
But I didn't because there isn't anything I've done wrong. "I haven't done anything." "Let's see. Go." she forces me to walk in the direction. "Are you coming with me?" I smiled at her, showing my teeth.
"No. I have to go to class otherwise my mother will kill me because of the missing lessons." She turned me around and pushed me slightly forward. "You are free, my bird. Go your own way." when she let go of me, she pretended to cry.
I rolled my eyes and walked alone in the direction of the director's office, which of all must have been at the end of the hallway.
I tapped and pushed the blade down. "Aurora good morning." Mrs. Wilson, our secretary, greeted me. "Someone called me, and said I need to meet Mr. Logan." She nodded to me. "Sit down, I'll get him." "Okay. Thank you." I followed her word and took a seat in one of the three chairs in the room that were next to each other.
Not even minutes later, Mrs. Wilson arrived with Mr. Logan at her side. "Aurora come in." I quickly got up from the seat and strolled over to Mr. Logan, who let me into his office.
"What was the reason for my coming?" I followed his steps until Mr. Logan took his seat in front of me. He moved the chair forward to lean his arms on the desk.
"Well, if that's what you're thinking, you're in no trouble. You can breathe. I called you in because we're getting a new student today and I want you to show her around the school."
A new Student? In the last school year? Does that even make sense? I mean, it's not my business as far as that is concerned, but it doesn't make sense to me now, a few more months and then school will be over, what else does she want here?
"Yeah sure." He nodded, smiling at me, and got up, inviting a girl by the name Scarlett in. I turned around and saw a gorgeous girl standing in front of me.
Her blond hair was shoulder-length and cut into a curtain bang. Her lips were fluffier than mine, perfect, someone would say. Her eyes are a bright mix of blue and green.
She is wearing a white crop top. A leather jacket supports the whole thing with matching boots and a boyfriend jeans. I stood up and held out my hand to her.
"Scarlett, this is Aurora, Aurora Scarlett." She took my hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you." her smile was just as perfect as herself. Straight white teeth and a small stone diamond glued to one tooth.
I pulled my hand away. "So I hope that you will like the school." "I definitely will." We walk out of the secretariat and at the same time Mr. Logan's office.
"Where are you from?" I ask to make a little small talk. This silence is just uncomfortable, and mostly because the aisles are empty. Everyone is in class, which would be better for me now.
"Atlanta, but my parents are from Italy." Pretty and an Italian. The boys will fight over her. "Well, I would just say, since you're in our class, that you go to the courses with me and from time to time everything will be clear. If you have questions, about where something is, ask, and I'll tell you." She nods to me calmly.
"Well, now we have Mr. Markus in biology, he's really nice, and he gives good grades too, but you need to do something, otherwise things don't look good for you." "Understood."
I knocked on the door as someone was heard on the other side. So I opened the door to get all the looks from the class.
I walk to Mr. Markus with Scarlett and told him about her, then I sat down on a free seat. "That's why you weren't there." "Looks like it, yes," I whispered back to Mason, who was sitting behind me.
"Quinn said you screwed something up." She would like to. "She looks good." "Calm down, Mason, she's only been in class for a few minutes." He sat back innocently. "So guys, this is Scarlett Grasso, she's a new student in our class, so be nice." with his hand on her back, he told her to sit down.
Scarlett seems very shy until now. She hardly speaks, and she looks at her notebook as if she's trying to avoid making eye contact with everyone.
The class was over, and I immediately started packing my things to get to Scarlett for further guidance when the presence of Ares caught my eye.
"Don't you think we should talk about something?" That thing. "I have to show Scarlett around the school." "I think Scarlett can manage on her own for a while."
I rolled my eyes. "Your award that I'm not going to show up immediately just because you want it? I'm still not your property to rule over me."
"But we have to talk." "About what?" "You know exactly what, should I say it out loud? Okay." I covered Ares's mouth before the word kiss came out of him.
Under my hand, I felt a smile forming. "I have no time. Not now." I grabbed my bag and walked past him as I got to Scarlett, which stand with Quinn.
"There's your tour guide." She alluded to me. Scarlett laughed at the statement. We started walking right on the path to sports. "So, Scarlett, tell me about yourself."
"What do you want to know?" She has a really soft voice. "Why are you here and not in Europe or some shit?" "My father has a new job."
"Siblings?" "Big brother and little sister." "Are the teeth real?" what dumb question, she's asking again? But luckily, Scarlett takes it with humor. Well, I hope so because she's laughing.
"Yes, they are." "Well, I believe you. I have to walk in this way, but I ask you stuff later." she pointed her finger at Scarlett.
"Then I better prepare myself." "I like you." she put her hand on her shoulder. "Okay, but now I really have to go. Same place?" I nodded to Quinn, who then disappeared.
Scarlett and I started the walk to the next class, sports by Mr. Kalvis. "Who was that guy you were talking to earlier?" she asks.
"Who do you mean?" "The one with the black hair who you covered his mouth." Ares? Why does she want to know? What does the name bring when she knows it? Does she want to be his next victim? But she doesn't look that stupid. But I'm no better. I fell into the devil's trap too, and damn that kiss was good.
"Ares Hall. But I'd fairy of him." "Why?"
"He has a thing going on with every girl. A total red flag." "You too?" I'm breathless. "No." It came quickly from me. If I had hesitated, it would have been clear that something happened between us over the weekend, but no new girl who just came needs to know that.
I didn't even tell Dylan or Quinn, I hope he didn't either. If that comes out, I won't get out of it as easily as it is now.
"Hey. Can I borrow her for a moment?" Ares grabbed my arm outside the sports hall and looked at Scarlett. She couldn't find a word.
"S...sure." "Thanks." he grinned and even winked at her. What should that be now?
Next, I felt the wall behind me. "I said I don't have time." "We have to talk, otherwise I can't stand it."
"Looks like a personal problem." I was about to leave when his hand fell on my hip. The weekend's déjà vu is back.
"Tell me that you don't think about this day when I touch you." My chest begins to heave as I breathe in. "What do you expect from me, Ares? That I say yes and kiss you? It was a mistake. You think so, too. Don't lie to yourself." Please, God, tell me he thinks so too.
"Yes, a stupid mistake, but you only learn from mistakes if you commit them several times. Kiss me, Aurora, and tell me what a stupid mistake it is." Is he dumb? We're in public, what if somebody sees us? They'd instantly think I'm just some next girl who fell for Ares Hall.
"I'm definitely not going to kiss you." kiss him! "If I kissed you, would you stop me?" probably not, but he doesn't need to know that. "Yes." "After I kissed you or before?"
"Ares, I don't have time. That kiss was a mistake. A stupid mistake, so go in now, your Team is probably already looking for you."
Ares let me go and went back inside. The kiss was a mistake no matter how good it was, what I thought. That kiss is history.
