However, I recommended you read that one first :)*
The first semester of college...
I looked in the mirror and found myself staring at the more mature and grown-up version of myself. Or at least, that's what I think I am. Of course, Macie would disagree and call me immature at times, but we both knew that I was ten times more mature between me and my brother Jake.
Macie would always scold me for talking shit about Jake. She thinks I still hold a grudge against him for stealing my girl last year.
Jane...
To be honest, I was pissed and hurt, but I fully got over it after a while. Because I, Aaron Morris, am not the type to whine and cry over a girl. I was far better than that. I decided to move on with my life. There is plenty of fish in the sea, right?
Besides, it wasn't like I had a hard time finding a girlfriend. I wasn't a bad looking guy. In fact, many girls found my tousled brown hair, bright green eyes, and muscular physique quite attractive. Some say I am charming, which is why it wasn't hard for me to replace Jane. Macie practically fell on my lap, and she is crazy about me. At least, that's what I think.
"Dude, are you done checking yourself out yet? We get it. You are soooo good-looking!" Jake yelled from the room next to me.
"Fuck you, Jake!" I yelled. I love my brother, but he was all in my business and that could get old at times.
I heard Jane giggle from his room. Those two were practically joined by the hips. Even I couldn't help but think they were good together. Sometimes I got jealous, but mostly I thought it was cute.
As far as Macie goes, she was gorgeous and we've been dating for three months now, but I still wasn't sure if I was in love with her not. I guess only time can tell.
I came out of the bathroom and gave Jake a dirty look, then headed outside. I didn't want to be late on my first day.
"Aaron!"
I halted as I heard the dreaded voice of my annoying neighbor. The bane of my existence.
I cringed and rummaged inside my pocket and frantically searched for my keys. I needed to get the fuck out of here before she catches up to me. I finally got the key out and proceeded to open the door, but someone pulled on my sleeve.
I turned around to look at the smiling face of my red-headed nightmare.
Bella Davis...
"What?" I barked.
The smile on her face disappeared. "You don't have to be so mean this early in the morning," she pouted and looked at me with those big blue eyes.
I felt a little bad for being harsh, but at the same time, I've dealt with enough of her bullshit.
"Sorry. What can I do for you, Bella? I need to go soon," I said.
"I was wondering if I can ride with you? I have a class today too," she said, smiling again. It didn't take much for her to recover, huh.
Oh fuck...I forgot she enrolled at the same college as me. Most likely to stalk me some more. She is like a parasite I couldn't get rid of.
"No way! I don't want you near me. I have a girlfriend now, Bella. You need to stop clinging to me every chance you get and back off," I said irritably.
"But Aaron..." she started to say.
"No buts. I'm out of here," I said and shut the door.
She knocked on my window.
"What now?" I said and opened it.
"I made you some lunch," she took out a lunch box and put it on my lap.
"I don't want this," I said.
"But it's your favorite! I woke up extra early to make this for you. So just take it, please? Or I'll keep bothering you about it," she grinned.
"Jeez...fine. Just this once," I said irritably and took the box, then proceeded to close the window.
"Oh okay, I'll see you in college then!" Bella chirped.
"NO!" I cried and drove away. I hope she is not going to be a pain this semester.
