That day after school, I didn't bother trying to find Aiden to see if we would be hanging out at his house as we did every Monday. Luck wasn't on side, and Marney ended up being in our Bio class. We did a lab and Mrs. Poloski, our Biology teacher, made me be partners with Ronnie, while Aiden got to be partners with Marney. I watched as they laughed throughout the whole experiment while I was stuck with Ronnie, who picked his nose.
"Hey, don't be too upset, we'll be partners next time," Aiden said trying to cheer me up, but I just gave him the cold shoulder and walked away. At the end of the day, I ran out of the school, leaving him in the company of Marney.
The whole rest of the week, Aiden ditched me for Marney. I never went over his house, or to the library, or even did something special on Fridays as we usually did. Everywhere we went now, Marney was there with him, and even more than I was. She was in practically all of his classes, while I was only in three. It made me feel like a fool as I watched her flaunt herself all over him, while I was the third wheel being dragged along.
I didn't it with them at lunch anymore. After finding her at our table again on Tuesday and not being spoken to once, I decided it was best if I didn't eat with them, so I went to the bathroom or wandered around the halls. The sad part was I don't think they even noticed, until finally on Friday Aiden asked me about it in Biology, "So how come you don't sit with us in lunch anymore?"
I didn't know what to say to him. I wanted to scream at him so bad, but I held my tongue back and just shrugged my shoulders and said, "I don't know. I've had a lot on my mind lately, I wanted to be alone."
"Oh okay, I get ya. If you ever need to talk about it, I'm here," he said with his concern although I knew it was fake. He was too worried over making sure Marney was happy. I wanted to laugh in his face for even saying that he was here for me.
Aiden didn't even ask me if we wanted to hang out at all that weekend, we usually always did. Turns out, on Friday he went to hang out with Marney at the movies, as he told me when he called the next day claiming he had a great time and they were becoming really good friends. I wanted to hang up on him, and I feigned sick just so I could get off the phone and drop to my knees and cry. Why was I losing everyone I cared deeply about?
Aiden's new fascination with Marney didn't stop the dreams, she only made them worse. I woke up screaming even more, wanting to find Aiden and hold him close, but I knew I couldn't. Every time I saw Marney, I got the feeling that she was hiding something and warning bells flew in my head, but I knew it was just my jealousy getting to me, but even so, something was off with Marney.
The next week, Aiden seemed to grow more concern over ignoring me, but that didn't stop him from clinging to Marney. They seemed to be closer ever since their movie night and I even saw them hug in the hallway, which made me want to go hurl in the bathroom. I think Aiden could finally see that I was upset, so I reluctantly agreed to go skating with him on Friday afternoon, putting my anger aside. I didn't know if I could put up with it anymore, I wanted to run away and go back to Forks, back to Jacob. Aiden leaving me had only made my feelings of longing for Jacob worse. I knew Jacob would never do what Aiden was doing to me, and I found myself looking down on my ring more. I was losing everyone I loved, was there something wrong with me? I didn't know who I longed for more, my best friend that I've always known back in Forks who hurt me so deeply when he left or the best friend I had just met who understood anything I said and that I couldn't live without.
