Chapter Six:
*Aradia's POV*
"Can you guys please stop it?!" I demanded when we were all sitting in the lunch room.
Everyone exchanged confused glances.
"What are you talking about?" Vriska asked.
"You guys have been acting like you're keeping something from me! I hate it!"
They exchanged more glances and I groaned.
"Really guys? Why do you keep keeping things from me?"
Vriska rolled her eyes. "We haven't been keeping that many things from you…"
"That many? What do you mean by that many?"
Vriska bit her lip and scratched the top of her head. I saw her look up at Nepeta who was sitting across the table. I followed her gaze and Nepeta had fear written all over her face. I turned back to look at Vriska.
I glared at her. "What are you keeping from me?"
Vriska looked back at Nepeta and Nepeta shook her head.
Vriska turned to look at me. "Yeah, I'm not telling you."
"Why?"
"Because I promised Nepeta that I wouldn't tell you."
"And since when do you keep your promises?"
"Never, I just felt like keeping this one."
"UGH!"
"Trust me Aradia, you'd rather not know."
"But, it obviously has something to do with me so yes, I do want to know."
I saw Karkat shake his head. "I usually don't give a shit about this certain stuff but trust me Aradia, you'd rather not know."
I sighed in defeat. "Fine."
I looked down and started picking at my food. Then, I had an urge to look up, so I did. I saw Sollux getting up from his table and walking out of the lunch room.
Suddenly, I snapped out of my seat.
"I'll be back." I said and ran out of there before someone had a chance to ask me where I was going.
I followed Sollux down the hallway but kept my distance so that I wouldn't seem creepy. I don't know why I had that urge to get up and follow him. It was pretty stupid if you ask me but, I was here….Following him.
I suddenly stopped when I saw him go into the guy's washroom…This was honestly one of the stupidest things I had ever done. I was about to turn around and head back to the lunch room, but I couldn't. It was as if my feet had been glued to the floor…Ugh, stupid feet.
So what did I do? I stood there, like an idiot, looking at my feet.
My mind began to wander and then I smiled when I remembered the time that Sollux and I went on our first date.
*Flashback*
I was pacing back and forth in my room while listening to "I'm So Sick" by Flyleaf on my stereo. I had never been so nervous in my life, I felt kind of silly though. I had hung out with Sollux all the time but I was suddenly so nervous to see him.
I looked into my mirror to see if I looked nice enough. My hair was extra wavy (thanks to my sister) and it was tied back with a maroon coloured ribbon. I was wearing a knee length grey skirt, with a red button up shirt. I didn't bother to do my makeup, I hate make up. I usually just end up rubbing it off my face anyway.
I took a deep breath and sat on my bed. I felt the butterflies in my stomach and started getting all giddy. I couldn't help it! I was excited!
Suddenly, I jumped up from my bed when the doorbell rang. I ran down the stairs, determined to get it before Damara did…I failed.
"Hi Sollux!" Damara shouted loudly when she opened the door. I knew she was only doing that to embarrass me though.
"Hey Damara, ith AA ready?"
"Yeah! I shouted and ran to the door beside Damara.
He blushed when he saw me and smiled at me. Which, caused me to blush but I smiled back.
He cleared his throat. "You ready?"
I nodded and then turned to look up at Damara. "When do you want me home?"
She shrugged. "It doesn't matter; I'm not your mom. As long as you come home, I'll be fine with whatever time."
"Tho, what if I brought her back home at like thix am?" Sollux asked teasingly.
Damara raised her eyebrows. "As long as I don't know about it, I'll be just fine with it."
Sollux chuckled and shook his head. "Don't worry; I won't keep her out that late."
Damara nodded then Sollux reached his hand out so I could take it. When I did, he walked me out to his car. He opened the passenger door so I could get in but before he closed the door I heard Damara yell:
"HAVE FUN YOU TWO! AND SOLLUX, PLEASE DON'T GET ARADIA PREGNANT!"
My face turned as red as an apple and I gulped.
"S-Sollux I'm s-sorry."
He laughed but he was blushing a deep shade of red too.
"Don't worry about it Aradia, my brother probably would've done the thame thing too."
He shut the door and then made his way to the other side of the car, into the driver's seat.
"You ready?"
I nodded. "Mhm."
He smiled and reached over to turn on the radio.
"My Chemical Romance or Flyleaf?"
"Surprise me."
"Alright."
"Remember me
Remember me
Remember me
Remember me"
I smiled at him. "And you surprise me with MCR."
He smiled back, started up the car, and we began to drive away.
"Where, where will you stand?
When all the lights go out
Across these city streets?"
"So, where are you taking me?"
"Shhh!"
I laughed. "Are you shushing me?!"
"Shhh! Patience young grathhopper we will be there thoon."
"Can't I at least get a hint?"
"Uh…No."
"Please?"
"No."
I groaned.
"You didn't eat any thupper right?"
"No, I didn't…You told me not to."
He smiled widely. "Good girl."
I laughed and shook my head. "Oh my Gog…"
He chuckled. "I love you."
The three small words created a large spark through my spine.
"Uh…I-I l-love you t-too."
He chuckled nervously and blushed.
"Where were you when
All of the embers fell?
I still remember them
Covered in ash
Covered in glass
Covered in all my friends
I still think of the bombs they build"
Suddenly, we stopped…In front of a…A…Cemetery?
He smiled at me.
I gave a confused look but then smiled.
"Oh my gosh Sollux you know me so well!"
He smiled. "Of courthe I do! Now, come on let'th go."
He got out of the car and I followed.
He opened the trunk of his car and pulled out a red and black stripped blanket, and a picnic basket.
"Let'th go."
I nodded and followed him into the cemetery.
"If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me"
We stopped when we were in the middle of the cemetery and then laid the blanket down.
He sat down with the picnic basket and motioned for me to join him.
I blushed and then sat down beside him.
"Kay, so what do you have that basket?" I asked.
He opened it. "I don't know, let'th thee."
I watched as he pulled out a jar of honey.
"We have honey."
"And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone"
"We have crackerth, thith big bag of cheethieth, root beer, and thkittleth."
"Well, don't you like to eat healthy?"
He smirked. "You know it."
"I just love how you didn't even pack sandwiches."
"Hey who needth thandwicheth? That ith tho cliché."
I laughed. "Alright."
"How would you be
Many years after the disasters
That we've seen
What if we learned
Of all the people burning
Purifying flame"
I grabbed a cracker, squirted honey on it, and then shoved it in my mouth.
"Calm down AA! You're going to chock or thomething and I'm going to have to thave you!"
I laughed. "Shut up!"
"I'll say it's okay
I know you can tell
And though you can see me smile
I still think of the guns they sell"
"Kay, I'm going to throw thith thkittle at you and you have to catch it with your mouth."
"You're on!" I said and he threw the small candy at me. It bounced off my nose.
"Sollux! I wasn't ready yet!"
He laughed. "That'th jutht too bad."
He kept throwing candies at me and I kept missing. After about ten million more skittles, I finally caught one!
"Yes! In your face Captor! I caught one-"
I was interrupted when his lips crashed against mine.
"If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone"
I was startled at first and I didn't kiss back. I mean, it was my first kiss. I suddenly relaxed, wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.
It wasn't until he started kissing me harder that I realised that that was the kiss that I had waited my whole freaking life for! Since I was about ten years old I think…Oh Gog, the wait was worth it.
"The only hope for me
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you"
After a couple seconds of kissing, Sollux pulled away.
He brought his forehead to mine.
"AA."
"Sollux."
"I love you…"
I blushed and nodded. "I love you too."
"The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope is!"
He put his hands on my waist and started kissing me again.
"If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me"
I don't know how it happened but somehow, we had started making out and I was lying underneath him.
"And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on…"
Gosh, it's amazing how well I remember that day…
*END OF FLASHBACK*
I was snapped out of it when I heard the toilet flush and saw Sollux walk out of the washroom.
I froze and stared at him. He looked at me for a quick second and then looked away. He then went on to walk back towards the lunch room.
"Uh-Hi Sollux!" I shouted towards him before he was out of range.
He stopped only slightly and then turned to give me a confused glance.
"Uhh…Hi?" He said confused then turned back and walked into the lunch room.
I sighed and sat down on the ground.
He was obviously over me…there was nothing I could do about it now…
"Because the only hope for me is you alone
The only hope for me is you alone…"
Kay that's it! Hope you guys liked it! I hope to write more soon! Please review and thanks for reading!
