As soon as Stella saw Aiden, she composed herself and called out his name
“Aiden!!!, Did you see what that witch did to me?" Aiden didn't even turn to look at her
“Stop it now, it's getting embarrassing" he rolled his eyes and walked towards his friends who were staring at him strangely. Stella screamed before standing up and walking away with her minions behind her. The crowd then dispersed.
“Is there a reason you guys are looking at me like that?" Aiden asked as soon as he got to where his friends were.
“It seems you know the new girl" Steven, who was Aiden's closest friend among the group, said. He was damn handsome with his green eyes, curly brunette hair, athletic built body and was also tall.
Aiden raised an eyebrow at him “What made you come to that conclusion?"
“Because of the way you dashed out to meet her" Brody, his other friend, looked at him suspiciously. Brody was that cliche golden boy in every high school movie, with his blood wavy hair, blue glassy eyes, athletic body and was also tall but was the shortest in the group. Brody turned to Grey, the silent member of the group. If Aiden and Grey stood close to each other, they were always mistaken as twins. Grey had jet black hair, brown eyes, was the second tallest in the group and was athletic built. The only slight details that differentiated them from each other was that Aiden was taller, had dimples and grey eyes.
“What do you say about this matter?" Grey shrugged before looking at Aiden
“She's cool, what's her name?" Aiden rolled his eyes at him before walking ahead of them
“Her name is Rose and she's leaving with me and my family" Steven and Brody gasped. Brody then rushed up to him
“No way, Can you introduce her to us?" Aiden turned to glare at him.
“Back off Brody, Can't you see Aiden clearly has a thing for her?"
Brody gasped “That can't be right, I thought Aiden was abstaining from relationships" Aiden sighed but didn't deny both of their statements.
“Come on let's get to class" He walked away with them following behind him.

“Oh my God, I can't stop gushing over what happened between you and Stella today. No one has ever stood up to her before" Claire said as they took their seats in the cafeteria.
“You should have seen her at the mall yesterday, it was so cool" Andrea said proudly. Rose sat there quietly while eating her food.
“On another topic, Andrea, did your brother get hotter?I feel like he did," Rose's hand paused in mid air at the mention of Aiden.
“Ughhh my brother was never hot" Andrea said disgustingly
“That's because he's your brother. Rose, what do you think about Aiden?He's hot isn't he?" Rose turned to look at her. Before she could utter a word, Claire shrieked.
“Speak of the devil and he shall appear!!" They all turned to look at Aiden and his group as they walked into the cafeteria majestically. In fact, they weren't the only ones looking at them, everyone in the cafeteria had stopped eating and were staring at them.
“Isn't he just so dreamy?" Claire sighed dreamingly. Andrea rolled her eyes at her
“You are delusional," Claire frowned at her.
“Oh come on look at him, his jet black hair and those Grey eyes are to die for. Then when he smiles and those dimples come out and I feel like melting into a puddle. Then that body....damn, I've never seen anyone as sexy as he is and last but not least those luscious lips....oh...oh God I'm in love" she then suddenly turned towards Rose ``Am I right Rose?" Rose then turned to observe him. He was handsome, that's for sure. Aiden then suddenly turned towards her and their eyes met. She quickly averted her eyes.
“Jeez... he's going to think I was admiring...which I was...but he doesn't need to know that!" She grumbled to herself.
“Rose I have to say, you are really lucky to be staying with him in the same house" Andrea scoffed
“Your obsession with my brother should diminish right now" Andrea scolded. Claire grinned at her.
“Not a chance in hell"
“Stop staring at her like that dude" Steven whispered to Aiden. Aiden turned to glare at him.
“I wasn't staring at her"
“Right you were drooling" Steven retorted. Aiden rolled his eyes at him
“What's gotten over you, you never used to notice any girl after..." Aiden sighed at Steven's words. He then turned to Rose, she just felt different to him.
“So are you going to pursue her?" Brody giddily said. Aiden glared at him
“It isn't like that yet you dumbass" Brody frowned at him before turning back to his food.
“Well you better make up your mind soon because I've taken a liking to her too" Grey said while smirking at Aiden, he stood up and left the cafeteria.
“ehhh...he can't be serious...can he?" Brody said to Steven.
“I have no idea"

“I can't believe mum signed you up for this class too" Andrea said to Rose as they made their way to Mr Jones class.
“What class is this?" Rose asked Andrea
“It's for nerds, it's like an after school class and mum made Aiden and I attend" Rose nodded at her words. She didn't mind attending this class as long as they were few people in it.
“And as we have established before, anywhere Aiden goes, his friends go too and anywhere they go, the whole school goes" Rose sighed
‘spoke too soon' she thought. As they stepped inside the class, everyone turned to look at them.
“Well I see you brought the new student, why don't you come up here and introduce yourself" he said calmly to Rose. Andrea, knowing Rose doesn't speak much and doesn't like attention, squeezed her palm to reassure her that everything would be fine before walking to her seat. Rose took a deep breath before walking closer to Mr Jones. She turned towards the crowd.
“I'm Rose," she said in a monotone voice. The class was quiet for a while.
“We know who you are," A student finally said.
“Yeah the gutsy girl" another said then they started murmuring to themselves about her but she didn't care.
“Can I take my seat now sir?" Mr Jones smiles at her before nodding.
“Yes you can sit right next to Andrea" Andrea waved her over and patted the sit next to her, she moved closer to her but froze when she saw Aiden smirking at her from behind Andrea. She threw a glare at him before walking to her seat.
“So today we are going to be discussing Abuse" Rose froze at Mr Jones words.
“I know we all know what abuse is, there are different kinds of abuse. Who can mention one?" Mr Jones said. Various students raised their hands.
“Child abuse"
“Home abuse" Rose felt sick, she was hyperventilating and Andrea noticed.
“Rose are you alright?, You are sweating" Andrea said worriedly while Aiden stared at them from behind, he felt something was wrong.
“Yes, has anyone experienced any kind of abuse before?" Mr Jones pressed on. Rose felt like puking, she stood up and ran out of the class. People were talking and someone was shouting her name but she couldn't hear, all she could hear was her breathing.
“Rose, are you okay?" Aiden held her shoulder and turned her around to face him. She raised her head and stared right at his worried face.
“I'm....." She fell right into his embrace and then her Vision went dark.
