All the language teachers started giving me small tests to test my language accuracy and I always get it correct every time

I feel like a test subject

Of course, I'm not gonna rely on my language alone to make my family proud, I still have to focus on my studies because I don't think college interviews would be that impressive if they only saw I only excel in language

Lunchtime came around and my friends came in the faculty to fetch me "So how was it? The genius of the school" Mira winked at me while nudging me using her elbow

"Tiring, I feel like a celebrity though. I dunno how Aiden would feel like since he is one"

Aiden sat beside me "Well you see my pretty friend, there is a term called a back door. It works every time" he played it off like getting bombarded with paparazzi's is like a morning walk in the park

I squeezed his nose "Don't boast about it Elliot, I feel weird if you even teach me how to use the back door trick to avoid the curious students"

Because I know for sure after the teachers make a huge commotion about me, I would have to avoid those gossipy students

"We didn't do anything for the whole day since all the teachers came to the faculty" Max told me, I can see that it looks like he woke up from a nap

Hmph, I want a nap too this is unfair

All of the students get a lot of free time while I'm stuck in the teacher's faculty

I was still grumpy about it during our wok to the cafeteria, Aiden offered to volunteer to get my lunch because he also woke up from a long nap. I sat at the table looking down on my phone and read the message that Yara sent me

I swear to God, Danny was insane during the first period

What do you mean?

Nobody in her clique was talking to her and I heard from Will that it was Nick and Cloud who threatened all of them to isolate her

Isn't that a bit too harsh? I have my fair share of isolation and it's not fun. It also gave me anxiety before

Also, a second update on Cloud. He is now getting suspicious of Aiden's sudden move to the seaside

Do you have any clue what is he going to do about it?

Based on my knowledge from all the romance books that I've read, I suggest you to be wary of new people. He must've hired a private investigator and I have no clue what gender that investigator is

With Aiden's sudden move, of course, it would make Cloud suspicious. There was a cake pop that was held in front of my face suddenly that made me stop in my train of thoughts

Aiden held the cake pop "Well?"

I don't think Aiden would be a private investigator since he is already busy enough for his concert and studies, also, he hates Cloud. So he is crossed off of the list

I took a huge bite of the cake pop he held in front of my face, that one bite was huge that I finished the entire thing in one go "Thank you" I told him with my mouth still having the cake pop

He rolled his eyes before he grabbed a tissue to wipe some bits of the cake pop off on my face "What are you 2?" He chuckled as his honey brown eyes were glued to my lips while cleaning the corners of my mouth

His other hand was under my chin to make me face him and so that he could get a better view to find if he missed some spots

There were a lot of stares from the students at different tables around us "Aiden aren't you worried they'll be talking about us?"

He raised a brow at me "So? People talk, I don't mind it as long it doesn't include insulting you"

We heard someone choke on their water and it turns out to be Max "What is this intimate scene I see before me?" He asked Daisy who handed him her towel

"This scene you see before you Max is what we call the pursuer"

"You don't tell me that Aiden is pursuing Mia" Max doesn't seem to believe it that his sister just sighs with distress "I pray that you have to use your eyes more than your ears since gossip is all you know"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

School ended early since the teachers will also volunteer to help the community leaders plan the festival, it was only me and Aiden walking slowly beside the beach to reach the Ice cream shop

"Sorry I couldn't bring you to a proper date even though I'm pursuing you" Aiden apologizes to me feeling bad about the out little situation

"You're a rising star and I need to pay my rent, we're both busy so you don't need to apologize to me" I stopped walking to face him

I gazed at his face and the eyes that were only glued on me since we met again in the seaside

There was a strong wind that passed by that made my hair a mess, Aiden helped me fix my hair then stopped midway when he was about to smooth it out "You look like princess Anna when she wakes up" he joked

"Well at least she's a pretty princess once it's all tamed" I retorted

"I know, that's why you're like her"

What a lame compliment that made me happy

As we continue to walk I saw the dog that ran after me this morning "Pip, don't run" Aiden tried to calm me down

Who the fuck is gonna calm down when the demon dog is starting at your soul!?

"Fuck it, I'm running" I told him before I started dashing the opposite direction

That was an idiotic move but the dog looks like it was gonna bite me when he started walking towards me

Adrenaline was pumping in my blood and both the thrill and fear were in my mind as I ran away from the dog, behind the dog was Aiden trying to run after me. I could feel my legs giving up but my will to live was much stronger so I pushed onwards

The dog was getting closer to me and I don't even know where I am anymore because I only run around several houses away from the beach, before I knew it I bumped into another person when I tried to turn around at the curb

He was a guy with a Nikon camera that is hanging around his neck, his soft blue eyes that matched Max's, and the same confused expression Mira would make

I heard the dog barking far away from behind me "Shit"

The guy suddenly stood up and grabbed a piece of wood from the side near the trash can and used it as something to scare the dog away, he didn't hit the dog if any of you were concerned about it

He threw the wood back next to the trash can "Are you okay?"

I was still panting from all the running I've done today, if I don't get a toned body this way I don't know what is

The nice guy helped me up by making himself as my support as he helped me find a bench to sit on "I'm Wyett, you?" He gave me a juice bottle he bought from the vending machine near the small arcade

I gladly accepted it and drank half of it in one go "I'm Mia, so I guess your Max and Mira's cousin?"

Wyett looked at me with a surprised face "How did you know?"

"They're my friends" I told him, far away I can hear Aiden who was also tired when he reached me that he sat down quickly on the bench and I offered him my half bottle of juice

He finished it all

Aiden's eyes landed on Wyett, unlike Cloud who would get straight to the point and become cold, Aiden was the opposite because he approached Wyett in a friendly manner although I can sense he doesn't like him already "Who are you?"

"I'm Wyett" he gave out his hand for Aiden to shake, he did shake his hand but I saw him give it a small grip before letting go

Aiden and Cloud are no different at all, they just have different ways of approaching people they don't like

"So I guess you're here to take pictures of the festival for the magazine right?"

Wyett nodded at me "Yeah, in hope that maybe our magazine can have some interesting pictures"

The festival is gonna last for three days, he can get as many pictures as he likes for the small magazine agency he works at

"Can I get a picture of you?" He politely asked me and I smiled

"I look like a mess right now, maybe another time. How about the first day of the festival?" I suggested to him

Wyett thought long and hard about it "I was tasked to give the pictures before the third day, so I guess I need to take as many pictures of the first day because I have to send the pictures quickly so we could print a lot and be ahead of many other magazines"
