Chapter 14

"Arya??". Aron's voice saying my name makes me want to dig a hole and bury myself. His words from last night come back to me again and it's almost like he's here to reject me all over again.

"Don't you think you've done enough little whore?". The question almost makes me think it's Aron looking for a way to embarrass me, the voice makes me think twice. Sure enough I see Scott, marvelous as always, and striding down with his hands in his pockets. He passes Aron and gives him dirty shit eyes, like the mere sight of him contaminates the very air he breathes. His looks are executed very efficiently and the effect is almost funny, I can hear Eras laughing already.

Scott passes by the brute from this morning, and he pays him no attention altogether, my lip quivers at this sudden rescue Scott has so easily pulled. He walks up to us and I can see the glimmer of mischief in his eyes. "You just had to make an entrance didn't you?" I see the reflection of my face in his eyes. I remember the little makeover I had before all the drama with Eras, and I make a mental picture of my image now. Silken locks falling around my shoulders, light makeup highlighting my face, clothes that cling to my body not in that way, but in a way that still makes me look good. Too good if I'm sincere. I look like someone that put her all into making herself look good, nothing like what I looked like this morning, nothing like what he saw this morning.

I guess that's the reason Aron's so shocked. "Who is he?" Scott asks looking at Eras. The question carries a bit of intrigue as much as suspicion. Eras looks from me, to Scott, and then back again. "He's your brother isn't he?" Eras asks and I roll my eyes "What gave us away?" I ask sarcastically "He looks like a girl".

I can hear the sharp intake of breath and Scott almost chokes on it. I look to Eras to signal him so he can stop being rude. To be fair, Scott is pretty but in his argument "Scott ain't a pretty name, is it?". It's been a back and forth argument between us, whenever Scott lashes out at someone calling him pretty.

He looks at Eras and then back to me and I silently plead with my eyes for him to let it go "I don't like him" he says looking to Eras and I breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone is still looking at us and I'm feeling nervous. "Anybody up for lunch?" I ask and I can feel the tension in the air die down. Scott let's out a breath and gains his composure back quite quickly "No need delaying it I guess". I look to Eras and he shrugs. Eyes follow me through the halls and I can only imagine what's going on in every one else's mind. Scott barely comes out of his classroom and Eras, is like some superstar I'm sure all the girls are ogling. I can see the cafeteria ahead, and I wonder how much time I have left to get some food in my stomach. The sight that greets me makes me doubt that I'd actually be able to get any food in at all.
