Part-2

Two weeks have passed and I have never felt like this my entire life. Ivy, what are you doing to me? I just want to be with you all the time, but I can't. That one minute is the best one minute of my entire day. I don't know why I feel butterflies in my stomach when she laughs and my heartbeat stops just by hearing my name. I wish to be with her all the time. Aiden was going to school thinking all along the way. As soon as he entered the school building his path was blocked by a girl.

"What do you want, Arshey?" Aiden said, rolling his eyes as if she has ruined his beautiful dream moment with Ivy.

"Hey, Aiden, I want to ask you if you would like to go to hangout with me?" Arshey asked, playing with her hair.

"Sorry but I'm not free." Aiden said and moved forward towards the locker room.
Keeping his bag inside and taking his books he was about to leave the locker room but a group of boys stopped him.

"Hey Aiden, I heard you turned down the offer of Arshey, that means I have a chance with her right?" a boy asked from that group with a teasing tone.

"Do whatever you want, Joy, I really don't care." Aiden said and started to move forward.

"Woah.. boy..!! Did you two fight or what?" Joy asked, raising both his hands and stepping back a little.
Aiden stopped his pace and looked back confusingly.

"Oh.. don't be so innocent Aiden,the whole school knows about it that you two are dating." Another boy named Jim said leaning back on the wall.

"Who said that I am dating her, you all are simply fools if you think that." Aiden said scoffing mockingly.

"Well you are different nowadays, and you just keep smiling while you are lost in your own world, just like a boy in love." Joy said with a playful smirk.
Aiden was speechless, so he simply turned around to leave but stopped when Joy said "We have never ever seen you smiling like that boy, if it's not Arshey then it must be some other girl to make you smile like that." Joy moved towards Aiden and walk past him patting his back and saying "just keep her safe boy. .. keep her safe."
For Aiden it feels like reality has struck him very hard, he was not aware of the fact that in these two weeks he has already fallen in love with a girl he has never seen. The one person who makes him smile even when she is not around is Ivy. Her voice makes him feel comfortable like he hasn't felt in his entire life. Although Aiden is an intelligent student but it's the first time he finds it hard to concentrate in class. After the class everyone left for lunch in the cafeteria. When Aiden was about to go, suddenly Julie came in front of him.

"Hi Aiden, I heard you refused to go out with Arshey so can we hang out together?" Julie asked, making a cute face.

Aiden sighed massaging his temples and said "Listen Julie I don't know what you all are up to but I am seriously not interested in going out with any of you." He said calmly but with a little irritated voice.

Then he left the class and went towards the cafeteria, due to Julie now Aiden wasn't able to find an empty seat so he was going at the back to find one, just then he heard Joy calling him. "Aiden, why don't you join us for lunch? Here we have an empty seat,'' he said pointing towards the empty seat in front of him.

"Nahh, I am ok." I Aiden replied, moving a step ahead.

"It's okay I was just concerned that if your fangirls will find you eating alone then someone might again ask you out just like Julie did a while ago." He said, raising his one brow with a teasing smirk.

Aiden was shocked to hear him but later gave up and moved towards the table and shut down in front of joy.
"How do you know about Julie?" Aiden asks with a confused face.

"When everybody knows because first girls discuss loudly with their friends and then do something." Jim said who was sitting just beside joy.

"But why did you refuse to go out with her?" Joy asked.

"Hey man, you are lucky that she asked you out, just look at her how cute she is, her silky black hair, black eyes, light pink lips, I can stare at her all day." Another boy James said playing with his food and steering where Julie was sitting and explaining to her friends about the incident earlier.

"If you keep staring at her like this then she might call Cops on you." Aiden said laughing a little then the whole group started laughing.

"You have a point Aiden, today I will ask her out and later ask her to go to the festival with me." James said.
