Chapter 152

I retrace her line of sight and suprisingly enough, my eyes clash with deep-set brown ones. Deep set brown eyes that had practically kidnapped her yesterday, and had offered me something of an apology, an apology which I still don't want to think of because I do not have the time for that.

I do not have the time to start developing feelings for Aron again, I do not have the time to rethink or redevelop my feelings for him, everything that I had with him is done and dusted, and so I simply want to ignore him. I want to ignore the warily delighted expression he's wearing on his face at seeing me, but yet I cannot ignore it.

I cannot ignore that look of hesitant joy he wears on his face as he catches me in his line of sight. It seems after his apology something had changed about him, something that is so obvious that it just makes me want to reconsider my break up with him.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't the one that broke up with him as much as he broke up with me, and not just breaking up with me, he broke up with me in front of the girl he had been cheating on me with, but nevertheless, he has this new aura and that is standing in front of him.

This new Aron is one who lacks that air of arrogance and pride that the former one always carried like a protective covering. This new Aron who is looking at me, unsure of himself, unsure of what reaction I would give and if I would be delighted to see him here, this new Aaron just takes my breath away. I had always thought when something changed in people the change only took place internally not outside, when people have a character change I thought all that change just goes on in some part of their brain, the part of their brain where arrogance and stupidity laboured furitively, would now be replaced with even more noble and amiable characters, but yet Aron seems to have changed on the outside as much as he changed on the inside.

Yesterday when I saw him, his hair was rough, his face looked unshaven, his whole appearance was a gaunt and distressed one though I'm pretty sure he was looking clean and primp at school. When he had accosted me yesterday morning at school, he had looked like someone who was ready to take on the world, and by the world I think get the little girl he left me for back, but when all those plans came crashing down, his whole appearance changed, up to the point that he looked like someone I should be sorry for. When I saw him look like someone who was greying at the extremity of his actions, even as he knew he had lost something he couldn't get back I felt sorry for him.

But this Aron in front of me, this alien looks magnificent, like someone I was seeing for the first time all over again.
