Alyssa had her love luck today with Ayden. I felt proud of her for she was brave for inviting him. Everyone crowded around Al to ask her questions but I know that she was still a little flushed. We had another tiny party for Al's success. My ally is gone so I am the only without someone on the ski trip. This sucks but I am still glad for my friends. Natsume, if only I knew what was up in your mind.
The day of the arrival, Jazmyn greeted us with her new boyfriend, Topher, along with P.J and Hiro. My, all my friends have boyfriends except for me. Kinda makes you feel low, but life is life so you gotta love it. "Hey, the ski instructor looks kinda cute," said Jay, "Go take a shot at him." "I would if I could but I won't so there," I told her. WHY IS EVERYONE ON MY CASE? Oh, I know. It is because of that no good Jesse Alvarez and his ditzy dames group. Speaking of the devil, Jesse was here along with his new "love".
"Well, if it isn't Tara Swann and her band of bimbos," he sarcastically said. "WHAT THE HECK DID HE JUST CALLED US!" shouted Rica. As Jesse laughed, Jake gave Jesse a blow so hard that he bleed. "Never mess with my girlfriend and friends, punk," he said. How sweet. Then he did the most romantic thing, which was holding Rica's hips and giving a kiss. All of us were just stunned but it was kinda sweet. I, for one, felt happy that my friend's boyfriend actually respects his girlfriend's friends.
"I can't believe that Jake actually stood up for us. I always thought of him as the guy who kinda hates being around us," said Alyssa. "No, Jake loves you guys 'cause he thinks of you as his sister or something. Besides, all y'all know that I have to have a boy who loves to hang with you all. Even if you are all freaks," said Rica with laughter. "You have a cool boyfriend and everyone has their luck, except for me," I said sadly and ran away crying. Al came after me but I sprinted and she was nowhere in sight. Alyssa can usually stop me from running by her words. Oh, what the heck, everyone can just be gone for all I care, I just feel so depressed lately that everything right seems wrong.
Alya's point of view
Chasing after Tara was always my job because I say stuff like "You can always try to believe in yourself when the going gets tough" or something. This time, someone stopped me. As I was running, a hand grabbed me from the corner. Scared that it was a psycho, I opened my mouth to scream. Another hand covered my mouth so I could not talk! I wanted to give this boy a kick in "those parts" but when I looked at the face closer, I realized that it was Ayden. I looked at his face in confusion and disbelief.
He knew from the look of my face that I was trying to say, "What the heck are you doing?" "Alyssa, you have to follow me. I have a place on the roof just for us to see," he said. I just nodded. As he let go of his hand, I quickly said that I do not have a jacket and it is freezing outside. He offered me his jacket. His Jacket! This is heaven for me anytime.
As he opened the door to the cold night, I wore his jacket and he just braved the cold with four layers on top. Suddenly, I realized that he just came with me for a free ski-trip, or so I thought. "Ayden, tell me the truth, did you just came here for a free ski-trip. It's fine if you do, but I do enjoy your company a lot," I bravely said with a heavy heart. I tried to leave before I cry but he grabbed me by the waist. "Al, don't go. I wanted to say this since Middle School but I was afraid," he said with his head hung down. I was eager to know what he was trying to say. "Alyssa, when you walked towards me during the reunion, I felt the pang I felt back in Middle School. I thought that you left me but I know deep down that I can never have you," he sadly said. "Ayden, I want to say something too. I love you ever since the day you helped me when Nathan bullied me. You always helped me with Math, and thanks to you, I got into Princeton. However, I know you would never love me," I said.
I walked off hoping never to look at him ever again with the same feeling I had back in those days. As I opened the door, Ayden's arm were around me and I froze at that pose. His body pressed near mine to let of his heat. Ayden, why must this be? Tears trickled down my cheek as I hung my head low. His hands cupped my face as he turned it towards his face. "Alyssa, it's not too late for the both of us. Let's start over with a better beginning," he cooed. "Sure Ayden, I loved that" And with that, he gave me a kiss of the lifetime. It felt like chocolate but only better. Man, this boy can kiss! We stood there on what felt like ages. Never wanting to go back down, never wanting to leave his side.
