Shards: SCATTERED
(Aedion POV)
Ugh.
English was so boring. All they ever really did was writing. Every morning when they went to class they sat down and wrote the prompt on the board. The only difference was that Aelin was in his class now. Aelin what a smart ass. Just yesterday, she had been called up to the Principal's office. When they got home she had told him that the Principal said she was being moved to his class, she was being moved to his grade Aelin was becoming a senior. He was-was happy for her, but she made it so hard. She was so smug and had the biggest ego of anyone he had ever met, her becoming a senior only augmented that ego. But, he loved her more than anything they were so close they were the only family the other had left. Therefore, he knew her more than anybody he could see underneath all that bravado. He saw underneath that façade she held up. It was like a mask she hid behind it he could only hope that one day that mask would shatter and all the pieces would scatter, so she could never piece it back together. The good news was that he would be able to oversee her re-birth. The day the old Aelin finally comes back. Ah. It was now 9 o'clock/ bother Aelin o'clock. He got up and walked over to her desk.
(Rowan POV)
He watched as Aelin's cousin, Aedion, ha Aedion he could tell Aedion hated him he was such a hater. Ever since he first got transferred from Alaska. It all started with the Lacrosse competition for school. The goal of the competition was to form a group of 6. Rowan had convinced Gavriel, Lorcan, Fenrys, Connall, and Vaughan. In the short time that he had been here he had noticed that Aedion and Aelin were very close if he didn't know any better he would have thought that they were twins.
(Aedion POV)
He walked up to her and sat down on top of her journal entry, causing her to accidentally draw a stray line across the paper.
(Aelin POV)
She was so lost in actually doing the prompt on the board. She didn't even notice when Aedion came and sat his plump ass on top of her paper causing her to draw a really dark line on her paper. She hated when that happened because no matter how hard she tried to erase it; she would still see a faint line… before she knew it she had tackled Aedion to the ground and was screaming at him. She didn't remember much after that. Except for a few flashes of their "conversation." But she didn't say anything out of the ordinary just the usual like: "what the fuck?", "what the hell is wrong with you?", " stupid ignorant ass hole?". Those were just the kind ones.
(Rowan POV)
Everything was going fine. He got back to work. Then all of a sudden he heard screaming. He looked up just in time to see Aelin tackle Aedion to the ground. Damn. He had to give Aelin credit she was a colorful curser some would say she had a gift. Some of the things she said would make the devil blush. It was like she was literally spitting fire. He snickered looks like the princess wasn't just all bark she had some bite in her. He snickered. But when Aelin didn't get off of Aedion he shot up out of his seat and went to go to help.
(Aelin POV)
She felt a sudden pressure on her waist. Then it disappeared. Then she felt something under her legs and then something wrap around her stomach. It was Rowan he had pulled her off of Aedion… oh my GOD she had tackled Aedion to the ground over some pencil mark he had caused her to draw. What was wrong with her? She had just about beaten Aedion to a pulp and she was about to cry. All those thoughts were wiped away when she looked up to see Rowan staring down at her. She was suddenly aware of how close they were she could feel every curve of him under that shirt. She could feel the curve of his abs, pecs, and biceps. Don't even get her started on his eyes they were the most beautiful shade of green ever they reminded her of the pines of Terrasen.
