When we got to lunch, I made a quick dash for our lunch table thinking that Aiden would follow, but he stayed with Marney. I sat down and waited for him in shock at the fact that he was ditching me for this new girl. Eventually he made his way over to the table and sat down.

"Well, she's nice," he said smiling me.

"Yeah, I guess," I said, "but I think it's too quick to judge."

He shrugged his shoulders and began pulling his lunch out of the paper bag. A minute later, Marney began to walk over to us.

"Aiden, do you mind if I sit with you? I don't know anyone," she said in her clear voice. It was weird how easily her words were articulated.

Aiden looked up, "Of course you can."

She looked at me and saw the shock and disgust written all over my face, "I hope I'm not imposing."

I was about to tell the little thing off when Aiden rushed, "Of course not. We'd be glad to sit with you."

"Thanks," she said pulling her charm over on Aiden. I prayed to God it wasn't working; I couldn't lose Aiden to her.

The whole lunch period, I watched Aiden and Marney chat away, completely ignoring me on the other side of our circle table. Soon, I decided to interrupt and try to figure out this girl, "So how come you came to school here?"

She looked like she had been confronted and I watched as sadness appeared to sting her eyes, "Well, my mom just died recently so I had to come and live with my dad. He lives here, they were divorced."

I didn't know what to say to her, it wasn't the answer I was expecting. Aiden reacted like he had just seen the light, "My parents were divorced and my dad just died," he said appearing to be thrilled over their similar histories.

They immediately shut me out after that and talked about their common past of divorced parents and one recently deceased, while I was secretly smacking the side of my head for ever asking that question.

I sat there watching the smile on Aiden's face and in his eyes as he talked to Marney. He had finally found someone who could relate to him, in no way that I could, after all, my parents were immortal, a tiny detail I had never told Aiden. I sat there and stared in the face that I might be losing my best friend to this girl, but I couldn't think that; I wouldn't let myself. I could never lose Aiden, I didn't know what I would do without him.

I still stared at them, like looking in from the outside. Any outsider would say that they were a perfect match for each other, their small body frames and bright eyes and smiles made it seem like they belonged together. I saw Marney reach up to touch one of her emerald eyes, as if adjusting a contact lens, and then asked to be excused to go to the bathroom.

Aiden was beaming as she left, as sat fuming at him. He didn't talk to me the rest of lunch, except to say, "Wow, she's amazing", and as the bell rang, I ran out of the café without a word or a look back at the chestnut-haired boy who was supposed to be my best friend.
