"73?"

"75, why did you subtract 1 instead of adding in the last step," Aiden said, letting out a small chuckle.

"Ah fuck," I scratched out my final answer.

"I mean, you know how to do it right," he said, and his phone buzzed. He looked at it and arched his eye brows, "I'll be back in a second, Levi says its important," he said, getting up and walking out of his room, as I continued with the next sum.

The door slowly creaked open moments later, and I expected to see Aiden. Insetad, I saw the girl from the cafeteria,

"Hey," she said, "uhm...this is Aiden's room....right?" She asked, "Aiden and Jake?"

"Uh..yeah, Aiden just went out, he should be back in a second," I said.

She stuck out her hand, "I'm Cassidy," she smiled.

"Hayley," I smiled back, shaking her hand.

"Oh lord, what happened to your leg?" She asked, noticing my cast and crutches.

"Uhm...I..my car crashed.." I said softly.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry....get well soon," she smiled.

I smiled again, it was sort of weird.
"So how long have you been at Westwood high?" She asked.

"Like a year...what about you, where are you from?" I asked.

"Oh well I've been here my whole life, but I've been living with my dad for the past year, he got some Yatch somewhere,"

"Oh wow..that sounds fun.."

"You'd be surprised. I did half of sophmore year, and half of senior year on a boat, I haven't learnt anything," she said.

"I did it in class, but haven't learnt anything either," I scoffed, and she let out a small laugh . Her smile was immediately replaced by a weird look. She sort of starred at me dead in the eye and narrowed her eyes at me, which was really fucking odd.

Within a second, the door burst open, and I heard the loud, and relativly deep voices of Aiden, Ryan, Levi and Jacob eco through the air of the room.

"Shut the fuck up Levi it-

"It was adorable," Levi chuckled,

"Hey..Jones...." he smiled, "cassy," he said hesitantly, and the others sort of awkwardly greeted the both of us, getting a little silent.

"Come with me, let's go get ice cream," Levi said, plopping down on the chair beside me.

"We just ate ice cream," I said

"What was the emergency?" I asked, referring to why he called Aiden.

"Oh there was this bug in my room it was so cool, look," he said, showing me a picture on his phone.

"Very cool Levi,"

"But wait, let's go out and get Ice cream, Jake and Ryan said they'll come as well,"

"We just had ice cream, and its late," I said.

"Today is your first day back to campus, and you were asleep for most of, and I just want you to have a good first day back," he said,

What a fucking cutie.

"Okay I'll come..." I chuckled.

I looked up to see Aiden and Cassidy talking, a few feet away. She seemed quiet nice actually.

He wasn't as relaxed as their first interaction though, he was sort of stiff, and seemed uninterested and bored, which was not only weird, it was also sort of rude, because she really did seem quiet enthusiastic.

Moments later she left, and Aiden walked back to the desk, leaning against it.

"What did she say?" Ryan asked.

Aiden shook his head, running hid hand through it.
He seemed sort of distracted.

"Come with us, we're getting ice cream," Levi smiled, standing up.

"Its late, you guys have fun," Aiden said.

"Aidennn," Levi complained.

The others got up as well,

"Okay, sure," Aiden chuckled.

"Is Scarlett coming?" I asked.

Jake shook his head, "she said she has work," he said.

Since it was already quiet late, the main gate was locked shut. My broken leg wouldn't allow me jump over the gate, and the guys didn't seem to think that was an option, so they bribed the security gaurd on the way out.

****
I yawned feeling my eyes get heavy while Ryan, Jacob and Levi stood at the counter and ordered whatever they wanted.

"Why are you sleepy, you were literally asleep the whole day," Aiden laughed.

I scoffed, "It's the meds,"

"Hmm sure," he said. I looked into his grey eyes, feeling my heart beat rise for a second.

"Is everything okay?" I asked softly, and I regretted it instantly.

"Yeah, why?" He said, looking up, meeting my eyes, and reading my face.

I hesitated again, not wanting to continue or have this conversation at all.

I sighed, "um...I don't know...I feel like...since the night I told you about my father...you've been kind of...distant,"

His face suddenly changed for a second, it went from his general neutral emotionless face, to....concern?

He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could, Levi, Jake and Ryan came back to our table.

"They're out of coffee, so I got you chocolate," Levi said to Aiden, interrupting the weird conversation we were about to have. As much as I regretted bringing it up, I wanted to know what he had to say.

"And you said you didn't want ice cream, so I got you milkshake," he said, placing a tall glass infront of me.

"Thank you,"

They sat in their seats and began talking about football, and I learnt that Aiden had joined the football team.

"She didn't say anything, you guys are being weird," I said, when they asked me what Cassidy had said to me.

"So you guys didn't talk at all?"

"She told me she's been living om her dad's yatch, and asked how my leg broke, wh-

"Ayee, Jakie," I heard from above the table, and looked up.

I saw three guys standing there, but couldn't really place them in my head.

All I knew was that they were from JF high.

"How's practice going, big game next Saturday, hope you guys make it to finals, we'll have some real competition...well not really, but it's better than nothing," One of them said.

I almost find it funny that there guys are just here to get some ice cream, and they saw a few people from the Westwoodhigh football team, and want to come here and pick a fight. Like come on, just go get your damn ice cream and leave.

"What do you want Caleb?"

"Nothing, just to tell you that Shelton high dropped out, and we've already made it to play offs. Refree for our game with you...if you do win this Saturday, is going to be my dad," another dude said.

"The board wouldn't allow that, and y'all can't win even with whatever bullshit score keeping," Ryan said.

"We'll see about that,"

"Aiden, you're playing as well, isn't that great. Are you sure you'll be able to, you know how you get around December....and..make sure you don't injure yourself too bad at the Stag, heard your gonna be there Friday?"

What did he mean by that? You know how you get around December ??

Aiden stood up, taking a threatening stance. It sounds stupid but I don't know how the fuck else to explain it.

The other guy took a step closer to Aiden, almost wedding the gap between them, when Jacob got up as well.

Aiden was about an inch taller than the other dude, naturally giving Aiden an advantage.

He cleared his throat, "do you have something to say?"

"Nothing," the other guy scoffed.

"Then fuck off," Aiden said, and after a few moments them just staring at each other, the other guy shook his head and  took a step back.

"Take care of your leg Hayley Jones," he said, looking at me for a brief second before walking away. 

Something about having the last word?

"How the fuck do you know him?" Jacob asked.

"I don't,-

"Then how did he know,"

"I don't know-

"Fucking Asher,"

"I don't know Jake maybe he just saw my fuckung crutches,"

"Whatever,"

The rest of the evening was fine, after a while everyone sort of calmed down, other than Aiden, who wasn't ever not calm, but still seemed sort of distracted.

Once we got back, I layed down on my bed, and starred up at my ceiling.

I was slowly starting to get sleepy, when my phone buzzed. I saw a text from Aiden,

Aiden: Hayley, about what you said earlier, I'm really fucking sorry if you think you scared me away or something. I get that talking about your father for the first time was not easy, and I'm really sorry if I made it any worse :(

Me: hi, no no, you didn't make it worse 🙈 don't worry about it, just wanted to make sure everything us fine :))

Aiden: you wanna chill tomorrow? We can get coffee and do homework together or smth,

HOLY FUCK. MY HEART FLIPPED. BUT WHY??? HE'S JUST ASKING IF I WANT TO HANG OUT THAT'S NORMAL.

Me: sure!

Aiden: good night :)

Me: gn

I felt my cheeks sort of warm as a weird smile planted itself on my face.
literally no one has every had an effect on me LIKE EVER.

What the fuck.
