Why Did I Say That?

Aiden's POV:

Again?

Did i say again?

What the hell i say to her?

I froze. My own voice echoes in my head like a whisper i hadn't plan. Everytime i see her... Why does my chest feel tight? Like i forgot something i shouldn't have?

Aria's POV

I literally want to rest a lot but when i try to rest,i lost in my own dreams. My dreams are not normal i saw someone in my every dream. I dont know who is that person but when i woke up i forgot that dream completely i am tired of this all.

On one side, there are these strangers dreams haunting me.. And on another, there is aiden who-, the moment i look at him, makes me feel something i cant even explain why does he linger in my mind like storm i never saw comming?

Aiden? I said catching him just before he left the class.

He paused, then looked at me."yeah?"

"Why do you looked at me like that?".i asked directly. But god knows how i feeling my heart was beating fastly.

He blinked,as he caught off guard.

His lips partly slighted,unsure what to say. Then a tiny smile." i dont know you just feel familiar".

Familiar?

Later that night.

That dream returned.

Me,in storm. The sound of trees snapping. A boys hand pulling me out of danger.that samne voice calling my name. That same sense of loss. And always the same name.

Aiden.

I jolted awake,heart beating like i am dying. Sweat shirt.hands were trembling.

"what was the name? Why that name again?

A..? A.....?. What- what is happening to me?'

No matter how hard i try,the face never appears. I wakeup crying i dont know why.

Its like my soul remembers something but my mind refuses to.

Next day__ class

I drag myself to my seat next to emily, who instantly narrowed her eyes at me.

"Girl you look like you wrestled a ghost",she said,sipping juice from a bright box.

"I wish" i muttered."At least I'd know what i am dealing with".

She raised an eyebrow. "Still dreaming about mr.mysterious?

I didn't anwer.i didn't need to. She already knew.

The door creaked open,Aiden walked in. As he passed my desk.our eyes met.

And that moment?

Everything inside me.... Just paused.

He looked at me.

I looked at him.

And for one mili second we weren't in the class room anymore.

We were somewhere else

Sometime else.

Aiden's POV

She asked me why i looked at her like that.

I couldn't tell her. Even i dont have the answer. Something is totally wrong with me or maybe something's finally right?

_____

Aria's POV

The bell rang.

Just when i thought the day couldn't get any weirder, sir gabriel walked in while clapping on his hand to get our attention.

"Class". He said,adjusting his glasses"today is the special day. One of the university's former professor a legendry figure is visiting our university for an internal review. I want everyone to prepare a short speech about your experience. This is your chance to make a good impression. Understood?

Emily leaned toward me, whispering,"former professor? I bet he is a dusty old ghost with too many book".i smiled weakly.

Aiden's POV

Sir's words didn't settle well with me. My chest had been tight since i am lost in something and now this?

"Alright aiden you will go first". Sir gabriel announced.

I stood up slowly walked towards the hallway stage set. The students fill in behind me including aria. I could feel her eyes follow me. "Ohh aiden focus". I said to myself. But why do i feel her gaze like that?

I stood up on the stage looking around me took a deep breathe.

And thats when he walked in

professor darius crowell

A tall older man in a charcoal coat with the sharp eyes and the face like forgetten how to smile. Looked at me while sitting on his seat.

My name echoed in hall. "I'm aiden. First semester.

The second aiden said his first line,"good morning everyone". Professor darius went pale.

He gripped the armest if his chair so tightly, the wood creaked.

His assistant whispered something but he didn't response.he was staring at aiden like he'd seen a ghost.

His eyes looked on me and he froze.

His face went white like someone is sipping him.

"Sir?" His assistant asked in concern."Sir are you alright?"

He cant even blink.

He didnt even blinked.

Aiden continued,"i have been here only a few days ago, but something about this place feel strange familiar even i dont know why but it feels like I've walked these halls before".

Darius eyes shimmered with pure fear.

Then slowly whispered under his breathe, trembling.

"H-he... He is back".

Darius tood up while interrupting in a speech. All eyes turned to him. Darius stood up and said "whay did you say your name was..?".

Aiden narrowed his eyes."aiden.. Aiden vale".

Professor darius stumbeld back. His assistant reached out to old him steady but he stop and pushed him away. The professor face drained all the color.

This can't be.... Not again no noooo!!

"No- no it cant be... Not him again no no way i knew this is my d-dream".He rubbes his eyes like he is tired of his eyes and just want to pull them.

Sir gabriel stood up to defuse his tension,"are you alright sir?

Before darius can answer another name was called.

Aria. First semester.

Aria's POV

My name was called next but i didnt heard it properly. I walked towards the stage. I see Professor Darius looking at me like i was just came back from the death.

___

The moment her voice echoed across the mic. " i am aria. Darius stumbled back on his chair like he was drugged.

"No-no it can't be real,no... Not her too.. Not them again".

And whatever the truth had been buried.....

Is starting to rise...
