Ellie and I danced with each other to the changing blue, red, and yellow lights.She grabbed a hold of my waist and danced her way down before coming up.I guessed that got the attention of a few men because two made their way over and began to dance with us.But the one behind me was being too touchy, grabbing my breath, and I couldn't help but turn around and slap him across the face."You bitch," he said and gave me a push.I pushed him back and Ellie stepped in, kneeing him in the balls."Get the fuck away from us you pervert," she said.Ellie pulled me away to across the dance floor."I can't believe that guy, he was so bold.""Hey guys," Allison, a girl from my class came up to us.We hugged each other and she gave an awkward wave to Ellie, the two never really got along because they both liked the same guy."I had no idea you would have come, I sent you a message but you never responded."I felt so bad for ignoring her and many others, they all were looking out for me and all I

"When are you going back to New York?" I asked."I'm not.""But your work."Aaron gave me a little smirk."Truthfully, when I came out here the first time, your mom had it all planned out. A place to stay, she contacted a friend and got me a job. I spoke to her before coming here, and the offer still stands.""Oh."So everyone knew that he would just drop everything and come be with me, except for me."Yes.""So what job is it?"Aaron gave a bigger small."You know how much I love painting?"I nodded."Well, she knows a of people who are interested in my work.""Wait, mom knows that you can paint?""Yes, the painting I gave to you. She found it abandoned in your room, and right from I left to go back to my mom, she asked me about it.""You had all this planned out?""I did. That's how serious I am about you, Mia. I want to be with you and only you."I put my fork down to shuffle closer to him, and then, I was sitting on his lap."And tell you what, I also know someone who is intereste

"Jolie, you told me you understand, so why are you doing this now?" I could hear Aaron saying.I stayed hidden behind the wall so I could hear what they had to say to each other."I do, I did. But seeing you now with her, I just can't. And you are being engaged now. It's too much, Aaron.""Why did you even come? Sharon must have told you what she was planning.""She did, I came because I wanted to prove to myself that we are really done. I thought I could handle it."Aaron made a sound."Aaron, you have to see how fucked up this is, you can't possibly go through with marrying her."Aaron gave a laugh. "And I should marry you?""We love each other, and she is your stepsister."There was a pause, and I feared Aaron was contemplating her words."Jolie, honestly. Even if I were to leave Mia, I would never come back to you. We were never meant for each other."I wished I could see the look on her face as he said that."What are you saying?""With Mia, I can be myself. With you, I had to ki

By lunchtime, there was a protest around the school to stop animal dissecting at our school."They were only frogs!" Mr. White yelled while walking down the hall.But the protest was put to an end quickly, as soon as the principal threatened to suspend everyone involved, they all scrambled."Well, that was exciting," Tasha said."Beth kind a does have a point," I said. "As much as I am into all this, cutting open an animal was still... disturbing."On our walk to the cafeteria, we walked by Aaron, and I looked back at him to see him staring at me.Was he smiling at me?At that moment, I wondered if he had the same dream as me.He slammed his locker shut, and that dragged me out of my reverie.Tasha and I sat with our other friends, and we talked about the latest anime episodes we had seen over the weekend.Yes, this was what I was used to. Not me just sitting by myself in a room full of people and not able to express myself because people found animes weird.I felt eyes on me, when I

By the end of the school week, rumors had spread around that Aaron and I were a thing. Mostly because they saw us hanging out all the time, but honestly, we never discussed that.I stood at Tasha's locker, laughing at her antics."Hey," Aaron said as he came up to see.Tasha waved at him, but the skeleton she had been hiding in her locker fell out, and that got me laughing all over again.Aaron was in full football gear, ready for practice and the big game tomorrow. "So, there is this romor that we are dating.''I froze up."I want to make those rumors true. That's if you are cool with that.""I... ye... we...""What she means is yes," Tasha cut in as I babbled on."Awesome," Aaron bent down and gave me a kiss on the cheek.When he walked away, Tasha and I squealed and jumped up and down."Oh my God, this is so amazing," she said.It was, I felt so happy, and maybe, just maybe Aaron and I could get engaged and have that happy life I saw in my dream."Are you going to the game tomorro
