Chapter 17
Ariel POV
Rushing into the classroom, I sighted Mia sitting at the extreme of the class, with her head on the table. She seems to be in deep thought. But why will she stay at the back seat instead of the usual front roll. My heart beat against my chest as I tried to imagine what she found out, that made her sound so angry when she called yesterday.
I heaved a heavy sigh, going to meet her, as I touched her hand. She felt a presence, and looked up
âErmâŠMiaâŠyou called yesterday, and I was damn worried, whatâs wrongâ I asked worriedly
âMtchewwwâ she hissed loudly, as other students drew near to watch the scene
âYou are such an ingrate Ariel; you drag our friendship in the mud. You act like you love me, but no, you donât. You just donât trust meâŠyou..youâ She busted into tears, while I gulp down nothing. What have I done wrong?
âErmâŠMia, can we go to somewhere private and talk about thisâŠwe are making a scene here, and people are watchingâ I pleaded softly, almost breaking down in tears
âNoâŠI will tell you to your face how bad you are, I will spit out what you didâŠyou wanna know huhnnâŠ.you really wanna know?â she asked, ruffling her hair
I stared at the pricking eyes of other student as they watch intently
âMiaâŠ.come onâŠâŠI donât know what you are talking aboutâ
âThe truth is that, youâŠâŠ.â She paused, staring at everyone present, as I wait eagerly to hear what she has to say.
âApril fool!!!!!!!â she laughed out loud, covering her mouth. A surge of relief filled my heart as my tensed shoulder went down. She had been pranking me all along, why didnât I notice it earlier. And today is actually April 1st, geez she acted so real
âDonât let me get my hands on you Mia, because Iâm really gonna strangle you. For Christ sake I almost had a heart attack thinking I did something wrong, I mean, you acted so real, miss.â I groan
âSure, acting is my hobby, so what do you expectâ she giggled, I frown at her, standing akimbo. She busted into another round of laughter
âSeriously Mia, you need to taste a bit of my fist, I couldnât sleep last night tooâ
âAwwnnnn, sorry darling, I havenât really prank someone for a while now, and being my best friend, I think pranking you wonât be a big deal. So how was the prankâ she winked
âHummn, I really need to take a break, my heart is still beating faster than everâ
âSure it will, everyone falls for my prankâ Mia boasted
âHuhn, well letâs wait and see when I play mine. I canât just imagine how your face will be, because you will damn fall for it, and think itâs realâ
âWhatever, letâs wait and see. As for now, letâs talk about something else. Have you signed in for the auditionâ She asked
âYea I did that yesterday, and I hope I get in. What about you, did you? I asked, she shakes her head sideward, frowning
âNopeâ
âWhy, I thought you wanted toâ
âYeaâŠwell the truth is, Iâm really bad in singing, I donât think I will make it through the first stage. Hybrid Record label is kind of a tough ground for upcoming singers, and they only choose the best of the best. I donât think Iâm good at anything, when it comes to musicâ Mia pouted
âHmmm, Mia, you canât just say that, no one is perfect, but you can still find your part in music, since you have the passion for it. Fine, you are good in writing poems right? And by the way, we are both studying music, so you should have gotten a clue on what you are good at. Music is broad, remember?â I advised
âYea, sureâŠwell, I write songs too, not just poems; and trust me, I write perfect lyricsâ She beams
âWow, thatâs a good start, I will like to see it, and if possible sing it with you. We will make a perfect team, you knowâ
âGeezâŠthatâs cool. Anyway, I have news for youâŠâŠ.trust me you will wanna hear itâ she smiled, leaning closer
âOâŠkayâŠ.â
âMy cousin will be coming down to my house from Paris, we are best of friends, and we will be having a get-togetherâ
âOh, thatâs nice. Just the both of you?â
âSureâŠ.any problemâ
âWell, it doesnât really sound like a get-togetherâ I laughed
âCall it whateverâ she huffed
âSo, whatâs the good news?â
âThatâs the goodnewsâ
âSeriously? Then where do I come inâ I asked, perplexed
âI want you to come, you know, as my best friend. We will have a lot of fun together and trust me, itâs gonna be a nice girly-little party. She will also come along with her friend. I donât wanna be lonelyâ she pouted, holding my hand
âOhâŠso when is it holdingâ
âThis nightâ
âThis night?â I shriek
âYeaâŠâŠâŠâ she replied, shrugging
âAinât you free this nightâ she asked
âI am, but you should have told me earlierâŠI donât know ifâŠâ I muttered
âDonât tell me you wonât be allowed go to your friendâs house. You told me you ainât living with your parent, so you gat the freedom babe. I will be expecting you this night and trust me, you are gonna enjoy yourself.â
âI donât know your houseâ
âWorry not about that, I will text you the address and time. Love you sweetheart, I need to get something from the school mall, see yaâ She muttered, pecking me on the cheek and scuttled off.
~~~~~
Pacing to and fro in my room, as my feet makes soft sound, kissing the warm, cozy floor. I thought of the sudden get-together Mia asked me to attend. Well, it isnât a big deal going to welcome her cousin, with her friend; but I canât leave the house without informing Aiden. Now, thatâs where the problem lies, I donât think I will be able to face him after the kiss we shared yesterday. It came unexpectedly, and I just have to flow with it, no doubt, I really enjoyed it.
I donât think I will ever face him again, gosh, I feel so shy. I muttered, touching my cheeks with were already tomato red, due to my weird blush. Immediately, my phone buzzes as Miaâs message pop up in the notification bar.
She just text the address and time; also telling me to wear something nice and hot.
âHuhnn, wear something nice and hotâ I mimic, mentally fixing in her voice
This is a girly get-together party, and not some dance audition or club party. Why is she asking me to wear something hot; is her cousin a lesbian, hehhee, Iâm not sure about that. I decided to have my lunch first before going on with my plan to tell Aiden about it, but getting to the dining room, he was already on sit, having his lunch. I gasp slightly, I never knew he has been around; well I think this is the best time to tell him about it.
âErmmm, hiâŠâ I mumbled slightly, going to take the seat opposite him. He noticed my presence, and smiled on seeing me
âHow are you Ariel?â his husky but perfect voice came up, as I blush vaguely, remembering kissing those pinky lips
âIâm fine, and you?â
âIâm perfectâ he cooed
âSo how was school today?
ââTwas fine; you werenât in school today?â I asked
âI wasâ
âBut I didnât see youâ I muttered, he laughed softly
âThe school is broad, you canât possibly sight someone, and whereas, I attend private classes with other celebrities, else those crazy fans of ours wonât concentrate on the lecturer if we eventually attend general classes. They will form paparazziâ He explained. I nodded nonchalantly
âBut I sighted you though, with someone. I think she is your friend right? At the school libraryâ
âOhâŠyeaâŠ.her name is Miaâ I spurted out. He shrugged. We remained silent for a while, each facing our food, as the room became intense.
Our minds, filled with many thought as no one is ready to speak about last night. I fidgeted with my spoon at the long stares he cast at me. The room was getting too hot, as I resolute to break the silence.
âErmâŠAiden..â I called
âI need to tell you somethingâ He shrugged, giving me the âgo aheadâ look
âErmmâŠMia will be having a get-together party with her cousin and friends tonight, andâŠermâŠshe invited me to be present.â She cooed
âSo?â he asked
âErmâŠcan iâŠ..â
âLook Ariel, you are free to go to anywhere you which to, but just be careful okay, you still need lots of time to get use to this city. It is full of good people, but the bad eggs are much. I wonât want you to be their victimâ He interrupted, as I beam in glee
âThanks Aidenâ
âAnd make sure you go with a guard, I wonât want you to go aloneâ
âSureâŠI will do just thatâ I gleamed, standing up to leave, but he stopped me
âAre you done eatingâ He asked
âYeaâŠIâm full already,âŠI umâŠhad something at the cafeteria this afternoon, so Iâm not too hungryâ I explained. He nodded
âBut can you sit please, I want to speak to you about somethingâ I hesitated a bit, not knowing what he wants to talk about; but my butt finds its way down the chair
âUhmhhmâ he cleared his throat, gulping down the remains of his wine.
âItâs about what we had yesterdayâ He muttered, and this is what I have been avoiding
âAriel, Iâm really sorry forâŠyou knowâŠyesterday. I wasnât in my right state of mind. I shouldnât have taken you unawareâ he stated.
âOhâŠitâs okâŠIâm not angryâ I smiled. He returned the smile, as silence took over again, with our eyes locked. I quickly break it, to avoid further regrets.
âI need to check out for the dress I will wearâ I said, getting on my feet. He seem to come back to himself after being lost, staring at me.
âNo problem, I also need to be somewhere now, will see ya tomorrow, I think. Or are you coming back this nightâ
âI donât know yetâ
âAnyways, just stay safeâ he pecked my cheek and left. Geez,âŠ..i blushed, and as for the plates, I think Josephine knows her job. I will need to show her who the boss is, I wonât be doing the dishes myself when she is around, like seriously that girl has been getting on my nerves lately, and I wonder why Iâm still gentle on her, huff.

MIAâS HOUSE
*
Mia POV
âWell, I did it perfectly and she fell for it, so easilyâ I screamed in glee, as I narrated the prank I played on Ariel and her reaction, to my cousin and her friend. Actually, I tried playing a welcome prank on them on their arrival, but before I could blink my eyes, they got to know that it was nothing but a prank.
My cousin often tells me that my pranks suck; but if Ariel could fall for it, why canât she just fall for my prank, even if itâs for once. Let me take you down our history, I and my cousin are found of playing pranks on people right from when we were little.
She has also played some pranks on me, that I had to believe her, but when I do, she quickly get my moves and laugh at my childishness for trying to fool her; meaning, she caught me. But we were both childish though.
Now Iâm trying to think of another prank to play on Ariel to prove to them that someone can also fall for my pranks, but none is coming to my mind. Hmm, I think I will have to wait for her to come first, perhaps when we get to the club.
