Love And Hate by Z.Stark N, Editor Mel W (e ink manga reader .TXT) 📖

captain was going to be we were just told to make her feel welcome.” The dude on my left said. I knew him I think his name was Roger Ryans. And the dude on my right he was Tyler Tin he was in my Drama class.

“We want to say you are welcomed to the team, and we all are about to do something that hopefully you’ll take welcoming.” Tyler said. They both stepped back in line and the next thing I now it music starts and they start dancing and singing. They weren’t that bad either; I just smiled and started to giggle a little. They I think were singing ‘Dirty Bit’ by the Black Eye Peas, I just love their band, and they probably didn’t know that though. When they finished the same two guys stepped out of the line and had mikes again.

“How did you like it?” Roger asked. Someone handed me a mike.

“Thank you, I feel really welcomed.” I said to them.

“Good.” They both said. After that I just went and sat with Liz and Aidan.

“I didn’t know you cheered.” Aidan said.

“I didn’t know your brother was a football player.” I said to him.

“I guess we all learned something new today.” I said to him.

“Did you get the picture?” I asked Liz.

“Yeah, and I recorded the whole thing.” She said.

“How do y’all think I did out there?” I asked.

“You were good.” Liz said. Aidan leaned in and said “You were great.”

“Thanks.” I said smiling.

“No problem.” He said. Okay so I am falling for the new boy is that so wrong? I think my best friend is falling for his brother. He isn’t bad, and I think he would wait until I was ready for a relationship. What if I was ready now but it is a little early to be thinking so far in the future? I have never been this way before. Why now? After the pep rally Aidan suggested that we go to celebrate and we all agreed that we should. I though it was nice of him to do that. When we got seated and ordered our drinks Kayden started a conversation.

“I didn’t know you were such a great cheerleader?” he said talking to me.

“Thanks, it doesn’t seem like I would be someone that would wave pompoms around huh?” I said to him. I’m not really I just like it; I can’t explain why I just like it.

“No, not really. No offence.” He said back.

“I know. That why it’s so surprising.” I said to him. I looked at Liz who was texting someone.

“Yeah, it was a big surprise.” He said.

“Who are you texting Liz?” I asked her.

“No body I was posting the video to YouTube. And reading up on all the facebook drama.” She said.

“Oh okay.” I said. How am I going to get Aidan alone so we can talk?

“I’m going to get some fresh air, Janeseme would you like to join me?” Aidan asked me.

“Sure.” I said getting up and walking out the door with Aidan. When we get out there he looks at me opens his mouth then closes it before he says anything.

“Your shocked I know.” I said to him.

“Not shocked, surprised.” He said.

“Kind of the same thing, don’t you think?’ I said.

“Yeah I guess.” He said.

“Well, if that’s all I want to go back in now,” I said. He’ll never understand what it is like to be loved then taken away from you.

“Wait.” He said touching my shoulder.

“Yes?” I said.

“I need to tell you something just not here.” He said.

“Where then?” I asked.

"At my house tonight at 8?” he asked.

“I don’t see why not.” I said.

“Okay see you tonight.” He said. I walked back in and looked at my friend and gave her the I-just-got-invited-to-a-guys-house stare. She laughed and Kayden looked at us like we were crazy.

“Kayden had invited us to go to him and his brother house.” Liz said.

“So has Aidan.” I said.

“That’s Aidan for always being the nice guy.” Kayden said.

“Always?” I and Liz questioned him.

“Always.” He said matter-of-factly.

“Good,” said Liz. I stared at her to tell her shut up.

“Well, I got to go. I need to get my homework done before I come over.” I said before getting up.

“See y’all later.” I said.

“Bye.” They said. I left out and told Aidan that I had to go and I would see him at his house, then left.

 

Chapter 4: You Live Next Door!

 

I texted Liz to ask her where they lived and it turns out they live NEXT DOOR! This should be interesting; I still can’t believe they live right next door to ME. I walk over and ring the door bell. No one answers at first then someone yells in the back yard to come on back. I did when I got there I saw Kayden and Aidan, they were sitting across from each other in front of a fire pit that was on.

“Come sit.” Aidan said. I go and sit down by Aidan.

“Where is Lizzie?” Kayden asked.

“Umm…I don’t know she was having a time trying to find some shoe that her sister hid somewhere.” I said to them. Kayden laughed and Aidan said “Older siblings huh? They take something then hide it from them.” Aidan said looking straight at Kayden.

“Yeah,” he said coolly. I just felt a little awkward after that, I didn’t know what was going on between him or his brother but it wasn’t good. They looked like they were pretty close this afternoon.

“Umm…do you want me to come over another time?” I asked thinking they needed time to talk.

“No everything is fine.” Aidan said.

“You can go if you want?” Kayden said.

“I’m fine.” I said lying. I mean we stayed there quiet for about three minutes until we heard a yell from the front door and it sounded like a guy.

“Were out back.” Kayden yelled. When I saw the person come through the door was none other than Liz.

“Where have you been?” I asked.

“To the attic and back.” She said. Everybody started to laugh.

“I’m sorry; you should’ve told me she went that far.” I said to her.

“It’s no problem.” She said.

“Okay.” I said. I forgot about it and then she went and sat next to Kayden and started to whisper to each other.

“Hey, do you want to go walk?” Aidan whispered to me.

“Sure.” I said. We got up and walked to the front yard.

“Can I tell you something without you jumping to conclusions?” he asked.

“Yeah.” I said.

“What if I told you that I know what your going through.” He said.

“Is that what you want to tell me because I have heard that line a few times already.” I said. You can’t just say that because really what I went through was some crap and like really that’s not right.

“Well, not exactly like you but I have been hurt like that.” He said. Okay, here we go again not another guy telling me he’s been through some break up.

“I can see by your face that you’ve been told this a lot. How many times?” he asked.

“Ten. Not including the one from a counselor.” I said. He had the face of hope then lost all hope in it, maybe he’s telling the truth.

“But, eleven times never kills anyone. Tell me.” I said to him.

“Well, I met a girl now she was really good girl she had maybe one or two friends and she did charity work for god sake. She slept with someone I was really close with and like we went out for 3 years and she had been sleeping with him for a year. I know this is not as bad as your story I thought I would share this since you shared yours.” He said finishing.

“I know this is the time I was suppose to say I am sorry but really I know that is not what you want to hear, but could I ask a question?” I asked.

“Sure.” He said.

“Is that why you left California?” I asked curious.

“Yes and no. Yes, because I had been begging my grandpa to let us move and no because he said no but then he got a good job down here and then we moved.” He said. I looked him in the eyes I could see hurt, scared, lost, confused, person.

“I think…I ummm…” I was saying until he interrupted me.

“Like you.” He finished for me. I just nodded, but then looked away.

“I don’t want to get hurt again and I know you don’t either so we could take things slowly.” I said. He nodded and lifted his hand asking if I would take it or not. I took it, we laced our fingers together, and then we started walking back to his backyard when we got there we were in a big surprise, Kayden and Liz were not just kissing but making out.

“Ahem.” I said to get their attention. They turned to look at me and Kayden was blushing and Liz laughed.

“I see you two got acquainted really quickly.” Aidan said.

“And I see you two have, too.” Kayden said. We all started to laugh.

“We decided to take things slow. Really slow.” I stated.

“Of course.” Kayden said.

“What’s that suppose to mean?” I asked.

“Well, he did tell you that story didn’t he?” he asked.

“Yes he did.” I said. He might have left something important out, Maybe?

“Oh, cool.” Kayden said.

“I’m going to go home; I will see y’all at school tomorrow.” I said to everybody.

“I’ll walk you home.” Aidan said.

“Okay.” I said back to him. Everybody said bye to me and then when we got to the front of my door Aidan let go of my hand.

“Can I walk you to school tomorrow?” he asks.

“Of course you can.” I said standing on my tippy toes to kiss his cheek.

“Bye.” He said smiling.

“Bye.” I said to him while he walked away.

I walked up to my room and fell asleep smiling. I couldn't stop thinking about him. He was amazing in every single way. But at the same time falling in love again so fast is not an option. 

Chapter 5: Walking, Talking, and Fighting!?!

 

I woke up the next morning and got dressed in my favorite outfit. That outfit is black skinny jeans, with a black tank top, with a neon pink over the shoulders t-shirt that says HAHAHA, and my black stilettos to school. And my favorite part is that the HAHAHA part is baby blue it is so cute. I said good morning to my grandma and after breakfast said goodbye so I could go meet Aidan, Kayden and Liz outside.
