I didn’t sleep for the past few days. But I didn’t want people to worry about me. So I kept going to school and I acted as if everything was fine.
Alyssa was talking about how weird Aaron's been acting when Aaron came out of nowhere “Alyssa can I talk to you” he took Alyssa by the arm. He was talking to her and she looked worried. Then happy, then mad. Then happy again
I watched her walk into the building.
Wait, she just left, I wondered, why did she do that? Aaron made his way over to me.
“Hey Tori,”he said, walking me inside of school. “I wanted to know if you would want to-” he stopped.
A senior looking boy walked over to us. He had dark black hair. He had brown eyes he had darker skin and he had a scar right next to his eye. It looked as if a cat had scratched him but it was a short cut maybe one or two inches.
“You must be Shallows,” he said with a half smile.
Aaron pushed me back a little.
“You know with the way you look no one could tell your 14.”
“Back up Leo,” Aaron said.
“Wait, that's Leo?” I asked.
“Ah you heard of me.” Leo said with a full grin.
“Bad things” I corrected him.
Aaron gave me a death stare. So I took it as a shut up sign.
“Anyways, believe me if you weren't protected I would do it now.”
I don’t know what he meant by that but I don’t think I want to know.
He smiled at me as he walked was
“What just happened”
“Just keep walking” he put his hood on and put mine on.
He whispered to Alyssa then he walked away.
“Tori, try to stay with me, Jess, Nina, or Mia, ok?”
“Ok…” I replied.
I was walking to the gym (like I said earlier we had a gym at the same time) but guess who I had gym with: Aaron, Jess, Mia, and of course Leo.
“Hey beautiful,” he said to me.
I gagged.
“Don’t call me that” I gagged again.
“Ok sweetheart,” he teased.
“That's even worse!” I exclaimed.
He tried to grab my hand.I pulled away but he just kept trying to grab my hand. I got sick of it so I grabbed his hand and lifted him in the air then slammed him on the ground.
“I am so sorry!” I said helping him up.
“I’m good,” he said with a gasp.
Jess and Mia were frozen. Aaron is such an idiot he didn’t even notice till other people did.
“Idiot, how did you not notice before” Jess looked angry at him.
“Yes” he just walked past her. Leo had fear in his eyes.
“Tori!” Aaron pulled me away. Leo was still trying to find his breath.
“I’m all good,” Leo said with a shortness of breath.
The nurse ran in.
“What happened?” The nurse asked. Trying to get Leo in a wheelchair. I ran to the bathroom. Aaron tried to grab my arm but failed. A few minutes later I went back.
“So you just fell?” The nurse asked to check his eyes.
“Yes I did," Leo said dreamly.
“But you flipped him” Nina whispered
“I am confused,” Jess whispered.
“So am I,” I replied.
A few hours later everyone went to my house. Then my uncle came into the room and said “Vic, it's time for bed. Girls want to stay over?”
No one could. I also heard Leo had to be hospitalized.
The next day at school Aaron and Alyssa were not there.Which is weird because Alyssa would tell me. They came the next day.
“Where were you yesterday?” I asked but she just ignored me.
“So what did I miss?” She asked nervously.
“Nothing, we had a free day because of what happened in the gym” Nina replied.
We had lunch together and we were talking. Well, they were talking. I realized I had a crush on Aaron. Ok, I can hear you guys judging me. I am 14. But I can’t just not have crushes on guys. My mom did tell me about a guy she liked named Max but she told me she messed it up. I was just staring at Aaron when….
“Tori?” Mia asked “Who are you staring at?” She asked as she looked behind her.
I blushed. “No one,” I replied.
Alyssa would be so mad at me if I liked her brother.
“Just thinking about a dream I had,” I replied.
I was thinking about all the weird dreams and I had another one but it was no nightmare movies. It was something so different.
