Jayden

Jayden could sense her coming again. He could almost feel her footsteps falling in rhythm with his heartbeat.

This was the third time this week.

Why had she suddenly started doing this? He had thought the quiet time in the music room and the study time in the library were already enough. It was already more than he could ever imagine she would allow herself to associate with him.

But three days ago, Aimee had a

  • Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us   Twenty three

    AimeeEverywhere was bustling. Students were dressed in funny costumes, and there was noise everywhere, but it didn’t feel offensive. In fact, it felt welcomed.Aimee glanced around the cheering students, searching for a particular face, but he wasn’t in the crowd.She had heard Jayden had signed up for the relay race and the sack race. Since they were in the same class and he would be competing against boys from other classes, they would be running at different times. She appreciated that—it meant she would still get to watch him compete.But somehow, it didn’t feel as happy knowing he wouldn’t be there to watch her too.“On your marks,” the teacher called through the megaphone.Aimee knelt on one knee, preparing herself for the start. It was the Class Three race. After spending the entire day watching the junior classes' compete, it was finally their turn, and Aimee felt energized.She never used to enjoy sports day in her former school, mostly because too much was expected from her

  • Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us   Twenty two

    JaydenJayden had wanted to leave before Aimee found out. He had seen her enjoying herself, and he didn’t want to ruin the fun for her. Not when he was torn inside about how to behave around her, what to say to her, and how to thank her for paying for that field trip.And most importantly, he didn’t want to be in a car with her. He didn’t want to be in an enclosed space alone with her. Even if someone else would be there, even if Aimee might not let him do anything, even though he knew he wouldn’t be doing anything with her, he just didn’t want to feel her presence any closer than he already did. He didn’t want her scent clinging to him while also having to sit beside her.He wanted to leave first and then prepare himself for when she would show up at the pastry shop, for when he would spend his evening looking after her in case she fell asleep on her table again.However, he didn’t expect her to run after him.He didn’t expect her to say what she said.He didn’t expect to see the hur

  • Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us   twenty one

    AimeeAimee had been happy seeing Jayden talk and work with their classmates. She had been happy seeing him relate with them, even though he never laughed at the jokes, even though he never smiled at the teasing, but he had been present. He wasn’t standing aside and staring at the wall or out the window, and he hadn’t ignored them when they approached him.She didn’t know why she had felt happy making someone popular when she herself didn’t want to be, but she had been, and it was because it was Jayden. She found herself wishing that it would continue like that, that he wouldn’t go back to ignoring everyone on Monday and being on his own again.However, what she loved the most of all was feeling his gaze on her. She would always feel him staring at her, and whenever she looked his way, he would hold her gaze for only a nanosecond before looking away, and so she had started glancing his way with a smile whenever she felt his gaze. It made her heart tingle in ways she couldn’t explain,

  • Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us   Twenty

    JaydenJayden stared at the house in front of him. He didn’t need to check the group chat for directions to find his way there; after all, Jacob’s father owned the biggest car wash in town, so everybody knew where he lived.He hated having to be here instead of being at work. He had a lot of bills to pay soon, and not to forget the class contribution for the costumes. And most importantly, he had to make payment before Aimee saw the need to pay for him again.He sighed, wondering why he was like that. He still couldn’t muster up the courage to swallow the news that Aimee had paid for his field trip, nor could he bring himself to thank her, even though he knew he should.Throughout yesterday after school, while they worked on their props, Aimee had tried to involve him with everyone and everything that was going on. Even though he felt like she didn’t have to go that far—after all, he purposely stayed away from their classmates—he didn’t feel the need to push her away or turn her down.

  • Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us   Nineteen

    AimeeEveryone gathered in the classroom after school. Diane had come with the props they had been working on, and Aimee wanted to ask if she had known that Mr. Lance would make it compulsory for everyone to help. But she didn’t.She knew that if she asked that question, a lot of people might read it the wrong way, and the last thing she wanted was to sow discord among everyone and ruin the fun.Besides, she had a bigger problem of her own.Her gaze went to Jayden, who was standing by the window and gazing outside. Everyone had moved the desks and chairs to the far end of the room to create a large space for them to use. Jayden had helped move the desks and chairs, but after that, he had withdrawn to stand by the window.Aimee had wanted to ask why he didn’t come to the cafeteria or to the library, but he looked like he didn’t want anyone pestering him. Besides, his hair looked slightly disheveled, like he had run his fingers through it countless times, and the front of his shirt was

  • Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us   Eighteen

    JaydenJayden had felt embarrassed having the teacher call him out, and even though he had wanted to say a word of encouragement to Aimee for getting the formula correct, the fact that he had been lost in thought, staring at her, and now the whole class knew about it, made it impossible for him to relax around her the way he used to.It didn’t help that the time they used to spend together didn’t just feel comfortable anymore. Instead, it made him constantly aware of her.He wanted to tuck her hair away from her face, he wanted their fingers to touch whenever he moved his book toward her, he wanted to subtly brush his shoulder against hers when they sat together, and her scent, which smelled far too sweet, always clung to him long after they had parted.His desires surprised him, and even though he hated that man for putting those words into his head, he never stopped repeating them.Let it flow naturally.Flow naturally, that meant he shouldn’t hold her hand even though he wanted to.

    Aimee“Jayden, I didn’t see your name in any of the sports,” Mr. Lance said.Aimee turned to Jayden. He was scribbling something in his notebook and stopped when he heard the teacher's words.Aimee was surprised. She hadn’t signed up for any of the sports either. Does that mean the teacher would ca

    JaydenThe morning always felt shorter than it should.Not because time moved differently, but because there were moments in it that didn’t feel like they belonged to the same day.Jayden noticed that more on days he

  • Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us   One

    AimeeThe school was quieter in the morning.Not the kind of quiet that felt empty, but the kind that hadn’t decided what it was yet. Like the building was still half asleep, waiting for voices to give it shape.Aimee stepped through the entrance slowly, her shoes making a soft sound against the po
