The heart wants what it wants
Chapter 2
To give him credit, Jason took her to a concert and dinner afterwards Aria just wasn't into it.
"I can tell you're not having a good time Aria." He said
He was driving her back home when he finally had broken the awkward silence.
"That's not true."
"Is it not?"
"Yes I actually had a good time tonight."
"You're not a very good liar Aria. I know you better than that."
Aria looked down at her hands and shrugged. She knew he was right, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"I think you should go in now. I wouldn't want you to get too bored with me."
Aria looked up to see that Mike was on the porch with none other than Ezra. Aria wished that she had that kind of interest for Jason, but she didn't.
"I'll see you at school."
"Whatever."
Aria got out of the car and headed towards Ezra and Mike
"What's up?" she asked
"Just discussing a college party for my frat house."
Aria's mood perked up slightly. She had heard of some college parties ,but had never attended one. The thought intrigued her.
"Call me crazy, but can I come?" she asked
"No." Mike said firmly.
"Oh come on. I'm not a child anymore Mike."
"You're still my little sister and I say no. That's final and don't argue with me on this one Aria."
"Please Mike. I promise to be on my best behavior."
Mike sighed shaking his head.
"Fine I'll let you come, but if you get in trouble don't blame me."
Aria felt herself grinning from ear to ear as she rode in Ezra's car. She couldn't believe Mike had actually allowed her to go, but then again she had been badgering him.
"No go do your own thing and stay out of trouble. I don't want mom and dad to hear about this." Mike told her sternly.
Aria nodded and got out of the car.
Luckily for her she knew a few people there and started to chat with a few of them. Beers were passed around as Aria continued to drink. It was a party after all. Aria lost count of the beers she had consumed after her fifth and the world blurred together in speeding images. Drinking, dancing, grinding, flirting, kissing, touching, and then sweet black bliss.
