Friends?

•••••Aaria's POV•••••

I woke up and checked that it was almost 5:45 A.M

 Shit... I'm late. 

I hurriedly got off the bed and headed towards the bathroom after taking a shower. 

I walked towards my closet and grabbed a pair of my black high waisted jeans and white hoody.

I put on my lip balm and hurriedly combed my wet hair with my fingers.

 I grabbed my bag and cellphone and headed downstairs. 

I wished my aunt and uncle Good Morning and started having my breakfast with them. 

Since the last few days, they have been dropping me off because I'm getting late due to waking up late. 

After finishing breakfast and doing dishes, we headed towards the car. 

After 10 minutes, we reached my school.

 I hopped out of the car and as always my aunt kissed me and uncle hugged me. 

After bidding them bye, I started walking towards the main gate. 

As I was getting close to the main gate, I heard someone calling my name.

 "Aaria"

 I moved back and saw Daxton jogging towards me. 

Xavier and Ethan were behind him. 

What does he want now? (Ugh) 

Daxton: Going to Maths class? (Excitedly) 

Aaria: Ye...yeah(Stammering) 

Daxton: Ohh great, let's go together. We're going there too (Smiling) 

Aaria: Ok... okay (Awkwardly)

 What's up with him now? 

Why is acting all friendly with me? 

(Suddenly Daxton put his arms around Aaria's shoulder which cause her to flinch a bit and take a step back but no one noticed.) 

Daxton: Let's go(Happily).

 (Daxton started to walk )

 (Xavier realizes her discomfort ) 

Xavier: Hey, put your hands down. You're making her uncomfortable. (Irritatingly).

 (Daxton turns back.) 

Daxton: Are you uncomfortable? (Arching his brows) 

Aaria: N....no.(Scared) 

Such a moron he is. 

How am I supposed to say that I'm uncomfortable when his big hand is around me and he can easily choke me whenever he wants.  

He's so scary even when he's asking about it?

 Ugh, God, please save me. 

What a great way to start a day(Ugh). 

Daxton: See, she's not uncomfortable at all. (Looking towards Xavier)

 (Xavier sighs) 

Xavier: Okay, but take it off. It looks like you're going to crush her with those big hands of yours. (Remove Daxton's hands from Aaria's shoulders). 

God, please save me from these bodybuilders. Ughhhhh. 

"Aaria" 

I sighed in relief after hearing the familiar voice of Benny. 

Daxton: Ohh, you're here. Come on join us. 

I looked towards her helplessly and pleadingly.

She came towards me and asked. 

Benny: What's going on here? (Looking towards the trio) 

Benny: What are you guys doing here with her?

Benny: Everyone's talking about you guys back in the parking lot? (Arching her brows) 

Xavier: We are.....

 (He was cut off by Daxton. )

Daxton: It's good that you're here. We're friends now. We were going towards the Maths class together. But don't worry, we'll not leave you alone. Let's go together, we'll drop you off on our way.

 (Daxton put his arms around Benny and dragged her away with him before she could speak anything.) 

Friends...

 From when did we become friends? 

Even I don't know when we become this close.

All I wanted was this year to pass easily, but I think it was too much to ask. (Ugh) 

Xavier: Don't mind him. He's always like this. (Smiling)

Aaria: Ohh. Xavier: Let's go then. Shall we?

 Aaria: Hmm(Nodding)

(All this while Ethan was listening to songs and was scrolling something on his cellphone.) 

We entered the class and Daxton was already sitting in the back and beside him some benches were empty. 

I stopped in the middle and was going to sit but Daxton stopped me. 

Daxton: Aaria sit here(Patting bench next to him) 

Aaria: .... No, I'm fine here. (Nervously) 

Daxton: Ohh come on. We don'  bite. (Chuckling)

Xavier: You should sit or else he'll keep nagging you. (Sighing) 

I headed towards the seat, then suddenly Ethan sat on it. 

(Daxton and Xavier were looking at him like he's gone nuts ) 

Daxton: Dude sit three, Aaria is going to sit here.  (Irritatingly) 

(Ethan wasn't replying) 

Ethan: Taking off his earphones. Did you say something? 

Daxton: Yeah, sit there(Pointing towards another seat) Aaria will sit here. 

Eta: She can sit there too(Scrunching his brows) 

After saying this, he started to listen to ton songs again. 

(Daxton Irritatingly sighs.) 

Xavier: Leave it Daxton. 

Daxton: Xavier Scoot over to the next seat, she'll sit here. 

(Ugh they'll make me mad. Someone save me please) 

Suddenly Mr.larson entered and ordered us to sit. 

Mr.larson: Ms.Christhoper sit down. 

I hurriedly took bench next to m. 

Thank God that I didn't have to sit with them. 

I could hear Daxton sighing the whole period. 

I wanted to laugh because he was behaving like a child who didn't get his favourite candy. 

After this class ended, I went to my next class with Xavier because he wanted to go together. 

Benny was getting irritated because of them, so was I. But we didn't have any choice. 

The whole day went by but it wasn't normal because of the changed behaviour RR of the trio and it scared me the most. 

Because I wasn't ready to open up or be friends with them and it was getting awkward. 

Daxton was not leaving a chance to sit with me. 

I didn't even go to the cafeteria today because of them. 

Now I'm in bed trying to sleep. I just hope that they'll return to their attitude again. (Sighs) 

               •••••Daxton's POV•••••

Last few days were tough and very important for us. 

Finally,y we won the match and now starting tomorrow we have to return to our daily routine. 

I'm excited about tomorrow because I'll mee att Aaria after 4 days. 

I've made up my mind that I'll make her our friend at any cost and will make her open up with us. 

Xavier also wants this and Ethan doesn't mind if we add her to our group. 

When we asked, he shrugged his shoulders and honestly it's wasn't expected. 

Ie and Xavier were fully prepared to convince him to let her add us. 

We even practised on how we would reason with him but all our practice went in vain because he agreed so easily.  

             •••••Next Morning •••••

I woke up hurriedly to get ready and then we went together to school. 

We were waiting in the parking lot, then we saw Aaria coming in Ford Ecosport. 

She hopped out and her mother kissed her, then she hugged her father and after bidding them Bye she walked towards the main gate. 

Daxton: Woah, she's lucky. Her parents are dropping her off. 

Xavier: They're not her parents. They're her aunt and uncle. 

Daxton: Ohhhh 

Wait ...what???

What the fuck. 

How did he know about this? 

Ethan and I looked at him at the same time with a questioning look on our face. 

He looked towards us. 

Xavier: What? 

Daxton: How did you know about this? (Arching his eyebrows) 

Xavier: Ohh, this. (nervously shifted ) I told you about that Mall incident. Do you remember? 

Daxton: Yeah (confusingly) 

Xavier: I heard her calling that lady Aunt. That's why(Rubbing his neck) 

Daxton: Ohhhh. Okay...... Let's go she's going (Looking towards Aaria) 

We went towards her and talked with her. I went to the classroom with Benny. 

I was waiting for them to come by saving a seat for Aaria but Ethan sat on it so I told Xavier to move but then Mr.larson came. 

I was trying to get close to her but every time someone came and destroyed my plan. 

I even waited for her in the cafeteria but she didn't show up. 

Maybe she's nervous. But no problem, I'll not give up. 

I was feeling bad for her. I have many questions. That I want to know the answers of and I'm sure that others are curious about it too. 

Why is she living with her Aunt and uncle? 

Where are her parents? 

Is she an orphan? 

Aaria, you can't run from me. I'll make you open up to us and accept us as your friends. (Smiling mischievously).
