CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
“Hey Aiden, can you turn on the radio?" Andrea requested. The silence in the car was getting too deafening. Aiden sighed.
“No" He curtly replied. Andrea huffed before resting her back on the Car seat. Rose stared at the cars by passing theirs.
“You guys are so awkward" Andrea said as they drove into school. As soon as He parked the Car, he got out of the Car quicker than Flash. Rose sighed before getting out.
“Didn't you guys talk about the kiss yesterday?" Andrea asked as they walked to school.
“He said it was a mistake" Claire, who came out of nowhere, gasped. Andrea raised an eyebrow at her.
“When did you get here?" Claire shrugged.
“I saw you guys arrive from afar so I just ran over but enough of me, he said what?" Rose frowned.
“This is unlike my brother, I know for a fact he likes you" Andrea declared. Rose shook her head.
“Please stop, you guys shouldn't put stuff in my head, he doesn't like me let's leave it at that" She walks away. Andrea and Claire both sigh at the same time before following behind her.

“Guys!!! Guess what I heard!!" One of the students yelled as she ran into class. Everyone in the class turned to her.
“We are going on a vacation to Palm Springs resort!!" Everyone cheers and screams. Rose looked at Andrea with confusion.
“A vacation?" Andrea nodded.
“It's like an excursion but we would stay there for like one week, it's usually interesting" Andrea explains. Rose nods slowly with understanding.
“I have a plan!!!!" Claire shrieked out.
“Claire, you are too loud" Andrea complained but Claire ignored her.
“This years going to be junior year and senior year right?" Andrea nodded hesitantly, she didn't know where Claire was going with this.
“So that means Rose and Aiden are going to have some alone time, huh?" She stares at Rose with a knowing smile. Rose rolled her eyes at her.
“I thought I told you to stop putting stuff in my head and besides he doesn't like me and I don't know if I like him too" Claire scoffed.
“Stop being in denial and admit it already"Claire muttered. Andrea smacked the back of head.
“Ow!!!" Claire groaned.
“Leave her alone" Claire pouted at her but decided to let it go.
“Did you hear?" Steven asked Aiden as they walked into the cafeteria.
“Hear what?" He said as they sat down.
“We are going on a vacation to Palm springs"
“We?"
“By we I meant Senior year and junior year" Aiden frowned.
“I'll pass," He murmured.
“Come on dude, is it because Rose would be there?" Aiden didn't reply.
“Dude, if you ask me, you gave up too easily," Aiden glared at him.
“What do you want me to do, if she doesn't like me I can't force her to" Aiden said with a sigh.
“Did she tell you that? Come on man, don't give up" Steven encouraged. Aiden sighed.
“Hey there brothers" Dylan said as he sat down on the table. They both smiled at him.
“Where have you been and why are you coming now?" Aiden asked.
“Family problems and I didn't feel like waking up this morning" He said simply. They both nodded at him.
“So what have I missed? Is Aiden with Rose now and where the heck is Grey?" Dylan questioned.
“Aiden is a fool and Grey has stopped talking to us" Aiden glared at him while Dylan gasped.
“What did you guys do to Grey?" Steven shrugged.
“It's all because of a girl" Dylan eyes widened with understanding.
“Oh... I kinda knew this would happen" Dylan sighed.
“So is that all?" Steven shook his head.
“No, Aiden kissed Rose"
“Pecked" Aiden interjected. They both ignored him.
“Then what happened?" Dylan asked giddily.
“He got rejected"
“Oh... Ouch" Dylan grimaced.
“Is that the end of Aiden and Rose's love story?" Dylan added.
“There was no love story to begin with," Aiden muttered.
“Aiden is being an idiot, Rose didn't say she rejected you, you are just concluding" Steven said. Dylan turned to Aiden.
“Have you ever asked her?" Aiden frowned at him.
“And have her reject me to my face?No, thank you" He replied.
“Don't Worry, we'll help you out. Dylan, we are going on a vacation" Dylan eyes brightened.
“Where?"
“By we I mean senior year and junior year" Steven informed. Dylan nodded.
“That sounds like fun," Dylan said.
“Yeah but think of it, Aiden and Rose are going to be in the same space for 1 week" Dylan eyes widened before he frowned.
“Wait, they live together"
“Yeah we do," Aiden added.
Yeah but this is different" Steven retorted.
“How?"
“Well because we would be there" Aiden scoffed then stood up.
“I'm not sure there's much you can do," Steven smirked at him.
“We'll see"
“Aiden, are you going to Palm springs?" Stella ran up to Aiden and asked. He stared down at her with indifference.
“I don't know yet" He proceeded to walk away but she held onto his arm. He glared down at her but had no energy to push her off so he just walked away like that.
“That Girl hasn't given up yet?" Dylan asked in disbelief.
“She would never give up," Steven chuckled.
“Hey pretty boy" Claire and Andrea walked up to Steven and Dylan who were standing in front of Aiden's car but there was no sign of Aiden. Andrea's eyes met with Steven's for a second before she quickly averted it.
“Where's my brother?" Dylan shrugged.
“No idea, we are waiting for him. Where's Rose?"
“She's submitting something," Steven nodded.
“Good because we have something to talk about and it's about both of them"..
