The girl that steals glances

Aiden pov

There's this girl that keep stealing glances, how bold. Is not the first time I have seen her, she is pretty though and somehow familiar, but I can't recall, where I have seen this face.

She's bold, the only people that talk to me and I can talk to are brion, brian and alaric and we aren't even in the same grade. I've known them since childhood, so that's why.

My classmates don't talk to me and I talk to them either, unless when necessary. But this particular girl, keep stealing glances, how bold.

The bell rang, it was lunch time. I walk outside the classroom with my hands in my pocket, alaric and the twins were already waiting for me.

We walked together to the cafeteria.

"Aiden did you hear, tommy is back in school, I thought after that beating he won't even be able to show his face here", alaric clicks his tongue and shook his head, "well you can expect this from a freeloader".

We collected our food and walk our spot.

"Well, alaric since you know that part, do you also know of his mother's death",brion said as we sit on our spot in the cafeteria.

"Oh is that so?, condolences",I say as we sit down.

"Then Aiden,do you also know that his mother died on the same day you sent those boys to tommy".

"Brion getting on my nerves again,is he born for this?",I turn to him,with a fixed expression I have whenever he gets on my nerves,"his mother died,so what does it have to do with me,and what the hell are you talking about,I told boys to beat him up?".

I couldn't exactly read brion expression.

Brion creased his eyebrows,"that day on the field,you__" .

Brian slamed the table,"that's enough,we've talked about this before,past is past,present is present, anything that should be buried should remain buried,but you never understand".

"Because of the way you are,father can't entrust you with anything,I don't think you'll be surprised to see that, In father's will,your name is not written,I was the only child mentioned. And do you know why brion?,it's because of how useless you are and the way you think sometimes is stupid".

Brion looked at him in the eye,"his voice shakened with pain as he spoke,what is so stupid about me

asking about someone's death?".

"You don't act like the rest of us,I mean why do you have to think things differently,okay so let's forget about Tommy's mother death,and you should see things from other perspectives,do you know of how our cousins and other people mock you?".

"I don't care about what they say about me!,"brion said.

"You think with this attitude,you'll be able to handle dad's business?man up,brion".

"You're my only sibling and I love you,am really trying my best with you but why can't you still understand?".

"I talk to you at home, school,everywhere but when will you understand?",Brian panted and took a deep breath.

"I don't even have the appetite to eat", he stands and storms out of the cafeteria.

"I also can't eat" ,I stand.

"Aiden wait!,let's talk about something as we walk", Alaric says.

"What ?",I ask as we walk out of the cafeteria.

My face was blank as I sunk my hands in my pocket.

He began,"so there's this girl in your class" .

"Huh,you're interested in a young person?"

Alaric sucks his teeth,"I have many preferences son" .

"What's her name",I asked.

"I don't know,but if I see her,I'll let you know,come let's walk to your class".

We stood near the door as I waited for Alaric to show me the girl he's talking about.

That's her,"he said as he turned his eyes to a particular direction".

I looked at his direction,"it was the girl that steals glances" .

"Her ?",I ask.

"Yes ,of course,her".

I sighed,"so what do you want,do you want me to bring her to the party in the woods?"..

He pats my shoulder,"I was thinking of something else but this idea is perfect,don't fail me son,he says as he walks to his class".
