I woke up the next morning after having a dream about Aria, I mean I was without a doubt in love with her. I wasn't going to say it not yet, it was too soon. I did however smile as I turned off my alarm and dressed for class, I was excited to find out if Mr. Ruzek read my paper or not, I guess we will find out. I was hoping that this weekend would be normal I was exhausted and just wanted to have a chill weekend with my girl. I mean sure the others could join in too but I didn't want any drama. I walked into class, and Mr. Ruzek handed me my paper an A written on I smiled I was doing good in this class, and I was proud of this A. I took a picture and sent it to my dad, I knew he was most likely working but I wanted him to know, Klea sat beside me.
"Nice!" she said noticing the paper, "yup" I said and class started, I was trying really hard to pay attention I really did want to succeed. This A was just the start. I was even able to get through my next class super confident but honestly that class without Klea I would fail for sure. I never knew how much I depended on her. How much I would depend on her if she were my partner, this wasn't going to be easy but we would always be there for each other. She was my ride or die no matter what, I would never want to do this with anyone else. "Klea thanks for helping me" I said, "are you kidding of course we need to pass together" she said. "I know" I said, "Max I would never be a cop with anyone else, I want to do this with you as my partner" she said. "I feel the exact same way, ride or die" I said and she laughed. "Ride or die" she said back and we did our secret handshake man we were just so lame.
Finally the day was done but I did have so much homework, I tried to get it done before Aria was done her classes, I still didn't get how she could even do med school. She was going to be in school a lot longer than me would I be able to handle that, I mean Josh made it work with Sophie, ugh I needed to not think like that right now. I finished my paper for Mrs. Smith's class and tried to concentrate on the material Mr. Ruzek gave us but I just couldn't. My phone started to ring it was Orianna, I hoped she was okay.
"Hey" I answered, "Max, I need some advice" she said, "Okay and mom or dad can't help?" I asked, "no this is not something I want mom or dad to know" she said. "I am listening" I said, "Max there is this guy and he keeps pressuring me" she said, I cut her off, "Orianna don't if you are not comfortable, please don't. I did with Scarlett, but I regret it and I wish I hadn't, if you are not in love with him, please don't" I said. "I just don't know what to do" she said. "I just told you, plus you are 15 and you have your entire life ahead of you as your big brother I am asking you to please refrain from it" I said. "Okay, I will thanks Max" she said, "I mean it Ori" I said, "I know and I don't want too I just guys are so pushy" she said, "yes I know trust me, but please you are smarter than me" I said ands he laughed as we said goodbye and she hung up.
I wish I had made smarter choices in high school, I wish I had someone like and older brother or sister to talk too, but instead I was the oldest. I made the mistakes and now I was telling my sisters to not make the same ones. I did regret sleeping with Scarlett, she was not what I expected going forward. Sure I loved her but she was not the one, and I wish I could take it back. I was so deep in thought I didn't see or hear Aria walk up to me, she covered my eyes. "Guess who?" she said, "hmm the most beautiful girl ever!" I said and she laughed as I pulled her over the couch and into my lap kissing her. "How was class?" I asked, "long, I missed you" she said, "I missed you too, do you have lots of homework?" I asked, "not really" she said. "Hmm want to go out for dinner?" I asked, "I would love too" she said and I smiled kissing her again before walking off campus. It was a beautiful night and I was hoping for once in my life to have a nice evening. I wanted nothing more than to just have a quiet evening with my girlfriend, please for me just one night without drama. I knew it was a long shot, drama and trouble always seemed to find me and I was beginning to take it personally, just one night is all I asked.
We were sitting outside on the patio, and it was nice we both ordered food and I couldn't help but stare into her eyes, "you are so beautiful" I said, "thanks" she said. I smiled at her and so far everything was going okay, "Max do you think I will be a good doctor?" she asked, "I think you would be great, I mean it runs in your family. You are kind and caring and I think you would be able to relate well to people" I said. "I want to be a pediatric doctor" I said, "Even better kids are easy to relate too, I think you will be amazing" I said. "Thanks and we already know you will be an amazing detective" she said, "yes well that runs in my blood too" I said and she laughed. Things were going great, I paid for dinner and we decided to walk along the water, that is when we noticed something was really wrong, There was a child in the water with no parents around. They were screaming for help the question is how did I approach something like that. "Max we need to help" Aria said, I was with her and I did want to help but the water in November was not exactly warm but my instincts kicked in and I jumped into the water While Aria called 911, could I save this child from drowning or would we both drown together. I was a good swimmer but I didn't know how this was going to go.
