Chapter - 10

"WHAT! YOU DID WHAT!! NO WAY IN HEL-" - Emma yelled out loud as soon as she heard the news of me, went on a date with Aaron. It was beyond her imagination, as I practically hated him at first. Emma always wanted me to date him because she thinks we would look perfect together, and I would always scoff at her, in the end, things turned completely upside down.

"Will you mind keeping Your voice low, Miss! I'm not asking you to announce it out loud. Geez..."

"BUT YOU WENT OUT WITH AARON-"

"Oh my god, stop it!!"

"I can't... I just can't believe my bestie finally accepted her fate! See, I told ya! Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!!!"

"You know what, I shouldn't have told you about it."

"Gomennasai, tell me everything!!"

"Only if you promise not to yell, at all!"

"Ugh, fine, just tell me already!"

I had no other choice but to tell her everything that happened yesterday. How he took me on a date, how he treated me like a royal lady, how he confessed to me for the second time, I told her everything. Except, the fact that we're not actually strangers, in fact we're more than just strangers, we have a history of our own. I didn't tell her about it, I'm planning to tell her after I regain all of my memories.

I was telling her about the details when three girls came up to our table at once. I don't remember seeing them before. All of them were wearing nice attire which is so neat and definitely branded, probably costs a fortune for their get-up. It looks like the one in the middle has something to do with me, she keeps staring at me and looking away the moment we make eye contact. The other two stood beside her with a monotonous face, like some bodyguard. The two of the alleged 'bodyguard' had their arms folded over their chest and the one in the middle was looking sadistically sad, the other two kinds of consoling her with their looks, what's with this tension coming from them.

'Did I do something... I don't remember meeting them before.' - I thought as I looked up at them. All of them had the same uniform, which means that they're from the same school and their uniforms looked oddly familiar. Oh! Right! It's Emma's school uniform, except theirs are way too short and tighter than Emma's.

"Is that true!" - The girl in the middle spoke as she glared down at me. All of them had cakey makeup on them, but this one's makeup was way too much. It's like a face painting, rather than make up for me. 

"What?" - I asked simply, Emma looked up at me with a conscious look.

"About you and Aaron dating!! IS IT TRUE?" - That girl asked again, but this time she practically yelled at me. She looked at me with poison in her eye, and the constant glaring was getting annoying now. Oh, I got it, maybe they're his fans. Well, my 'Aaron' is the most handsome man in the world, and I don't mind him having some fans. It's quite fun, actually.

"And why do I need to tell you?" - I said with a crooked smile. At that, her face turned redder than the deepest red out there. It's clear she was angry.

"You better answer."

"Or?"

"Seriously, you wouldn't want to get into any trouble with me. You'll regret it. Just answer the damn question."

"Believe me! I'd definitely want to get into trouble if it's you." - I gave out a creepy smile.

"YOU BITCH-" 

"WATCH YOUR TONGUE!" - Said Aaron, out of nowhere, as the girl in the middle raised her hand at me. Honestly, I could've easily prevented that, I could almost see her movement, rather slowly. Aaron was supposed to come a bit late since he had some club things to do. Man... I was having fun, he just had to come and ruin it... It's actually not that bad though, this will be more interesting if the fan girls face their idol!

"Say another word again and i'll cut your tongue." - I never saw Aaron being so angry before, he's veins were popping out on his forehead, ready to slap anyone if they crossed paths with him. He quickly took a soft glance at me then at them, furrowing his delicate brows for the fan girls.

"A-Aaron, How can you say that to my friend?" - Said the bodyguard on the right side with a concerning look, as if he's not making any sense.

"Well, tell your friend to stop disturbing my girlfriend!"

'Phew, he finally said it. That's my boy!!'

"So it's true!! You're dating her. Wow... And what about my feelings? I came to you first, but she got you... How's that fair?" - The girl in the middle finally spoke through her snot, yup she's a crying mess now... started to cry when Aaron yelled at her... Oops!

"I don't remember showing you any interest. When you confessed to me, I declined nicely, I even explained why I rejected you, what's the point of this?"

"It's because I love you and only you. I liked you for a long time. And I won't give up just because you decided to date a stupid-faced bitch!"

"YOU-" - said Aaron and Emma said at the same time, but I had to cut them off. I need to step into this myself, there's no fun sitting and doing nothing!

"This stupid faced bitch got him and you couldn't. You should be feeling ashamed rather than insulting yourself in front of your crush. And yeah I am dating him, and you can try your best to get him to be your boyfriend, I won't mind at all. But sweetie, you'll definitely be going to regret wasting your time with something you can never have." - I said with a mischievous smirk.

"As if! Just wait for that day when you'll be in my place, begging me to get him back, and I'll spit in your face in exchange."

"Let's see who spits on who"

She stormed out of the room, her minions followed her. I took my seat beside Emma, gesturing Aaron to take the seat in front of me. Aaron looked down as he spoke,

"I-I am really sorry, you had to go through this."

"Why are you sorry? I'm concerned for that girl... She seems to be deeply in 'love' with you." - I added a bit of dreaminess when I said love, in a mocking way.

"What Benny does isn't called love. She does this every year. As far as I know, she's the daughter of our school's director, and she always uses it against others, showing her power. She did that to me too, threatened me if I don't go out with her, she'll make my life hell. And I simply ignored her, she thinks only she has powers."

"Well, she's a total bitch! Let's forget about her and go somewhere after classes!" - said Emma with her bubbly voice, cheering us up after what happened a minute ago.

After the classes, we went to an amusement park nearby. I never knew amusement parks could be so beautiful at nighttime. The lights are making everything look glittery from a distance. The first thing we did was get some tteokbokki and cold drinks since we had nothing after lunch.

Soon we took different rides, roller coasters, bumper cars, high swings and all. It was the first time for me since mom and dad never took me to one because of their busy schedule. I loved the thrill with every vigorous ride, I don't know when was the last time I was this happy. We had all the rides we wanted, and now only one was left, the Ferris wheel, the one I wanted to go the most. I've only seen it on TV shows.

"You guys go, I'm not feeling well after the high swing. I'll have some ice cream, you two can go!"

"Really..." - I said, with a side eye, I know why she's doing it. She wants us to have some privacy, but I don't want her to feel left out. I asked her a couple of times, but she didn't listen to me.

"Just go! I have curfew on 9, and it's 8 already!"

"Hmm mm...."

Aaron booked two tickets to the Ferris wheel and got us some Ice cream, Deja Vu... He got me a strawberry blast, another deja vu…?

"And how do you know I like strawberry blast!"

"Uh...um Instinct! Most Girls prefer strawberries. I figured you'd too."

"Hmm...you figured it accurately!" - I said with a smile as we went inside the small cubicle, waiting for it to start moving. I anxiously took a bite of my ice-cream, feeling extremely nervous because of the atmosphere. We're alone, in a cubicle, his eyes searching for mine when it finally met. I smiled awkwardly before saying, "The moon looks so pretty from here, right?"

"Yeah, it definitely is. I've always wanted to see how the sky would look from different points of view."

"Does it look the same?"

"Maybe...maybe not. Depending on who I'm with." - He said, maintaining eye contact. I felt butterflies in my stomach, that's a weird feeling I've never felt before, and It grew more and more. I was a blushing mess by now. There was silence before I broke it first.

"You know, when you confessed to me for the first time, I had a lot of questions going through my mind. Like, Who is he? Why did he confess? Why me? What is going on? And blah blah. I was so flustered at that time and couldn't help but run away from there. That night I couldn't even get an ounce of sleep, the questions in my mind made it hard for me. I didn't know who to follow, my heart or my head, when technically both of them wanted me to accept your confession. And I simply ignored my feelings, thinking it will go away soon... But it didn't, and now I am here with you, enjoying every moment to the fullest, wanting to be near you and finally embracing my feelings. You were right, Aaron... I finally fell for you and this time it's my turn" - I finished my long speech before I went to his side and took a seat beside him. He looked up at me when I grabbed his hand. He was beyond confused with my actions. I took a deep breath before uttering the words I have been wanting to say for the whole time.

"So, Will you be my boyfriend, Aaron?
