6.

My head was spinning, my heart was heating out for my chest, and I could feel my blood peak in my body as I lunged my legs towards them as fast as I could. I should have known what he said at the party was complete bullshit. I don't even know how I believed it. Marching up to them, without warning I shove them as hard as I possibly could to the side and swung open my locked, continuing to violently shove everything I didn't need into it. Aether and the girl were very confused when they saw me, and I felt something snap in me when I heard a voice speak me to in a way which made want to slap the ever loving fuck out of Aether.

"God, what the fuck is your problem?" He sneered, rolling his eyes at me, while the girl gripped onto him tighter in false fear.

I slammed my locker hard, making the girl jump out of Aether's arms. When I looked at her, she could tell that what I was going to say next wasn't for her ears, so she ran off. Now, It was just him and I.

"What's my problem? My problem is that for some reason, whenever have a girl you wanna bang, instead of going somewhere civil to do your dirty shit, you do it on my fucking locker instead!" The bastard had the nerve to roll his eyes at me and look away, tensing his jaw. He knew I was right, so why was he doing this? I was going to find out, one way or another.

"Do you have some kind of problem with me? If you do why don't you just man up and tell me, instead of rubbing bodies with a girl you saw walking by on my locker!"

He took that personally, because soon enough I was pinned on my locker, Aether inches away, seething.

"I've only got 1 thing to say to you, and it's this. I know you remember what happened at that party, but I want you to forget about it. It was a mistake and it meant nothing."

I was mad, and he was too. I couldn't stop myself from edging him on. I wouldn't let him tell me he liked me for it only to be fake. I've learned what a real confession is like, and his was one of the most sincere i've ever seen.

"Hey, I'm not mad about it, and anyways, nothing you say can change what you said. I know you meant that confession." I reached out and traced a soft trail over his ear, making it's way around every curve.

At this point, I'd lost track of what I was doing, and my brain was running on full adrenaline, letting my heart take control. I surprised myself with what I did next. His hard face softened into one of shock, now looking like a confused puppy.

"What do you mean you don't mind..." By now, the girl had gotten bored and ran off, probably to find someone else to fuck.

This was the perfect chance, so I snatched it. Pulling him in roughly by the collar, I pushed his forehead less then an inch away from mine and whispered breathlessly,

"I don't mind the confession, or the kiss. We can do it again if you want..." My smirk grew as I stared into Aether's eyes from my eyelashes. His grip loosened, and a bright blush had grown on his face. Before I could do any more a loud yell from a teacher shocked us both. With that, I took my almost empty bag and ran for it, leaving Aether behind, stunned and red.

The next day was cloudy, rainy day, and for me, these types of days made me feel at ease. Sitting alone, still not on speaking terms with Eternity, Aether came and plopped down next to me. I sighed. I was enjoying my time alone. I was catching up on my books and studies, as well as thinking about dumb random shit like, if coconuts produced milk why aren't they classified as mammals?

"Because they don't have nipples." Aether said randomly. My face flashed with confusion and disgust, while all he did was laugh.

"You said that coconut mammal thing aloud..." His smile was bright and real, the way I had always liked it when I watched from afar.

My face scrunched into one of cringe. He had heard the stupidest thing come out of my mouth.

"Shit, that's so embarrassing... What are you doing here?" I replied. I could feel it getting awkwarder every second. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he wouldn't, so I just waited it out. He took longer with what he wanted to say more then I thought.

"Sorry for doing stuff on your locker. That was pretty... gross." I grimaced at his words. Was that all he was going to say? Even with everything else going on?

"Is that all? Really?" I looked at him with stern eyes, pushing him into saying more. He let out a shaken breathe as he glanced back at me, unable to meet my eye. I figured, If he couldn't say it, I would.

"I know you like me, I know it wasn't a drunken mistake and I know, if you try to deny it, it just makes it more true." He glared at me. Whoops, seems like I hit a nerve. Even so, I wasn't going to let it go until he said it himself.

"What makes you think it wasn't true?" He questioned gloomily. It was clear he didn't want to confess but knew he had to because I wouldn't have let it go. Chuckling, I lean back and smugly say,

"Because If you didn't like me, you wouldn't of reacted like that when I pulled you in yesterday..." I felt a grin grow on my face as I remembered yesterday's events. His shocked face, the dark red blush. I had to admit it was cute. I was expecting him to grumble and get mad, and I was completely unprepared for what was next.

"Alright you got me. I do like you Alex. A lot." I shot up fron my seat. I panicked. Memories coming back and tearing new wounds. I could feel the tears, so I did the only thing I could. I ran.
