Chapter 215

"Are you comfortable if I sit down here?" he asks and I realised I am still wearing that discontented look on my face.

I am wearing that look that insinuates I am semingly annoyed, that look of annoyed indecision on my face that he reads, and I try to rub it off as fast as I can.

Even with Aron's explanation about how his mum pressurised him into doing what he did, my mind still hasn't settled on that fact. It still hasn't been fully convinced that it was all his mum's fault, and none was his fault.

I'm guessing that was what he clarified that day in his house, even he doesn't place all the fault on the part of his mum, he told me that he had been foolish enough to actually fall for the wiles of someone who dosen't hold any affection for him, he had fallen for the wiles of someone who only saw him in terms of an outlet for temporary pleasure and nothing more. I wonder where she is right now.

"Are you really comfortable with me sitting here?" he asks me once more and I realise that i have lapsed into my own thoughts.

"Sure, no problem".

The words come out of my mouth like I am tasting them on the tip of my tongue, and I can all but imagine exactly how I sound right now.

I sound like I'm being forced to utter the words and the displeased look on Aron's face tells me enough about what he thinks of that.

He makes to stand up and get away, but I feel bad. I feel bad at this, like really really bad and I don't think the reason is far off.

He had come here trying to be friendly and even asked for my permission, all for me to simply reply him like I was still angry at him being near me, like I was disgusted at his presence beside me.

I'm guessing that isn't the natural way to respond to someone who practically kidnapped your friend your friend just to tender you an apology.

I'm guessing it isn't the normal way to respond to anyone at all and I can only imagine how he feelt just now.

Surprisingly I grabbed his hand, and his head whips back to me in surprise.

"I said you can seat, and I really mean it. Just ignore whatever you're seeing on my face right now, I've had a long hard day".

He sits down with something of a little bit confused expression on his face.

"It's ten-thirty in the morning, and you've already had a long day".

I simply give him an awkward smile at this and I breathe in deeply in and out. I actually contemplate telling Aron of what happened this morning.

It would seem even if our relationship was a little bit off handed, it had a little benefit on its own, his company always made me forget about everyone else, it made me forget about stupid harassing teachers who would simply not leave you alone all because you wanted to get a grade in their class, and pass this particularly disturbing subject.
