Aria's POV
I saw it .
Marine
was in Aiden's followers.
And not just that
He followed her back.
@Marien_queen001.
My fingers paused.
I stared at the screen, quiet.
Took a slow, deep breath.
I didn't know how to react.
I didn't even know why it hit me the way it did.
But it did.
Just a little.
That strange tug in the chest… the kind that makes you feel sad without knowing why.
But then I shook my head, almost as if telling myself off.
"It's fine. Whatever he does… it's his choice."
And with that, I locked the screen.
Placed the phone face-down.
Trying not to think about it
But of course, I already was.
It is 4:30 PM my phone buzzed. It was a msg again
Aiden_lancaster send you a message: Hi
I didn't really want to reply. But... I replied back.
Aria: ?
Aiden : did you think?
Aria: about what?
Aiden : roast me you said you will roast me !
"Arghhhhhh!! I whispered to my self"
Aria: no,I am feeling sleepy!
Aiden: okay
I dont know why i am replying him even i know what happened last night but i am replying because i think it didnot matter to me that why marine was in his following list or something else. its his choice but one thing i feel.
"If i reply even once, i forget all their wrongdoingsand it doesnot matter to me what they doin fact, all i care about is that no one gets hurt."

Whatever aiden and aria are not even friends yet.Or they? Dont know!
Aria was coming home from school when she noticed Aiden sitting by his window. It seemed like he was waiting for someone. Aria looked at him, and a smile escaped her lips.
After reaching home, Aria freshened up and got dressed. Suddenly, her phone buzzed. She picked it up, and it was another message from Aiden.
Aiden: you backed? From school?
Aria: yeah
Aria: i saw you when i am comming back.you was hanging in your window like monkey.
Aiden: haha no.i was just talking to kelvo!

Aiden was already looking at her. Seems like he was waiting for aria. There eyes met.
Aria was eating noodles and then suddenly remember! She was smiling while remember even she dont know why she is smiling and then suddenly.
She chocking . " ohh god ! Where is my water" aria said while coughing"
"She starts drinking water, and right in the middle of it, that memory hit her again. The pain was so real, all the water came spilling out of her mouth!"
" ohh godd what happened to me" aria said while cleaning her face"
She was feeling sleepy, moments away from giving in to the comfort of the night. Her eyes had almost closed, her thoughts soft and fading
But then, suddenly, she think
Why was he asking so many questions? she thought. Whatever, forget it.
She closed her eyes, trying to sleep.
But just as she was about to drift off, her eyes suddenly opened
And she realised...
Did he ...? Oh naaa ! Common aria . aria thought but denied agaim thought the same but again denied. Even.i dont know what's going on...But ttt ttt ttt
