Aiden

"...So as I was saying, that new boy Brayden is way cuter than Justin..."

I look at the ground and poke at the red and black piercings under my lip as we casually walk down the park trail. I secretly peer at Symon and see him blabbering on about some boy, or something. I stopped paying attention a while ago. Symon 's a great friend and all, he just talks. A lot. I slide my hands into my pockets and continue to walk with this chatty loon.

"Aiden!"

I whip my head to look up at Symon, and my bangs fall over to the left side of my face.

"Huh?" I respond quickly

He shakes his head and sighs.

"Did you listen to a word I just said?"

How could he tell...?

"Run it by me again." I say

He sighs yet again and rolls his eyes. What a woman...Symon gets really sassy when he has to repeat himself. Especially when you don't pay attention to him.

"I said do you find anyone cute at school."

I shake my head and chuckle.

"No Symon, I don't think anyone is cute."

He stops and places his hands on his hips.I also stop and stare at him

"You don't think I'd cute?" He says in a play full manner

I burst out laughing and so does he.

"I'm joking, I'm joking"

We continue to walk and I look around at the vast field of lush emerald green grass. I wonder why nobody was here on a perfect evening such as this one. I look up at the sky in bewilderment. Reds, oranges, yellows, and slight shades of pink and purple collide the sky...

"Aiden, watch out!"

"What do you want now-"

Before I could finish my sentence, I bump into something and fall onto my back. I shut my eyes tightly and inhale sharply.

"Oww..."

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Says an unfamiliar voice.

"I it's fine, I'll be okay."

I open my eyes and I'm bewildered by his gorgeous Caribbean sea blue eyes

"Oh my god." I whisper

He smiles gently and looks down at me.

"Are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you-"

I shake my head, stand up, and dust the dirt off my jeans.

"I'm fine, I insist."

Be cool Aiden...don't stare at this guy. You wouldn't want him to think you're weird.

I hear a chuckle come from Symon, so I whip my head toward him and shoot him one of my famous death glares. Symon shuts up and I look back at the gorgeous guy. I feel my cheeks flush and I start to mess with my piercings again. It's a nervous habit. I only do this when I get, you know, nervous.

"Cool piercings."

He grins warmly and it makes me just melt inside.

"Th-thanks um..."

"The name's Luke."

I bite my lower lip and continue to play with my piercings.

"And you might be...?" He asks, and tilts his head slightly.

"Oh! Um...I'm very sorry...how rude of me..."

Luke giggles which makes me grin like an idiot.

"I'm Aiden."

"Nice to meet you Aiden."

"Nice to meet you too, Luke."

A couple of minutes pass and Luke finally speaks up.

"So...", he says as he twiddle his thumbs ,"I'm having a party at my house. You should totally stop by if you have time...but if you don't, that's okay-"

"I'll come."

What the hell, Aiden!? Calm down...

"Sweet. I'm going to have to get your number to tell you where I live at."

"O-okay" I say quietly

I give him my number and he saves it on his phone.

"Okay...I guess I should go now..."

No, don't leave yet...

"Okay see you soon"

He flashes me a smile and turns to leave l. Just looking at him makes me swoon.

I turn to Symon and he smirks

"What now?" I snarl

He gently pushes my shoulder and walks ahead of me.

"Looks like somebody likes someone."
