Jules pov-

The day is finally over, I haven't seen Aj since Break. Which means he's probably gone home.

We usually go to Mario's on the first day back, a coffee shop near my place, but even if I called to see where he was I don't think he would even answer me.

It's probably best for me to just head straight home to give him some time to cool off.

"Where's Aj", a voice grumbles catching up to walk next to me.

"I thought you were mad at me", I grumble back,

"Yeah well Artie clearly isn't with you and I'm not letting you walk home on your own especially with that tiny skirt", he grumbles rapping his arm round my shoulder.

"Ha jokes on you, cause I'm getting the train home", I say proudly looking up at him.

"Yeah and how are you getting to the train station?", he asks looking down on me.

"Whatever, since when did you get so smart?", I laugh scuffing up his hair.

"Oh I've always been, you've just been so caught up in my charms you didn't even notice", he teases.

"Oh yes of course", I tease back.

"Admit it, you love me", he smirks.

"I could but then I would have to lie", I reply.

His smirk shrinks into a straight line.

"Hey I'm only teasing", I say nudging him.

"I know", he says getting all defensive.

"So about earlier, friends?", I ask trying to change the subject.

"Way to rub salt in a saw  wound Jules", he says looking down at the ground.

"Sorry I just don't like to thought of you being hurt because of me", I frown looking up at him with sympathy.

"It's just", he begins "oh don't worry", he says now kicking a small stone around he must've found on the side walk.

"Hey no talk to me Atlas, please", I beg stopping and tugging his shoulder forcing him to stop to and look at me.

He looks down at the stone for a bit moving it with his foot.

"You said our kiss was stupid", he grumbles.

Oh, that's why he's upset.

I look down at the ground trying to hide behind my hair.

"Atlas, I didn't mean it like that I was just upset about what had happened with Aj", I say stealing the stone from him and kicking it around with my foot.

"Do you regret it", he mumbles out.

"Of course not", I reply honestly.

"Are you sure cause every time you talk about it , it's always about how awful it was", he says as I glare up at him still hiding behind my hair.

His eyes there filled with pain, it makes me want to cry.

"No, no it was perfect", I say reaching out for the comfort and warmth of his arm.

"It's ok if you do regret it you can be honest", he says stroking my hand.

"I am being honest", I reply.

"Ok", he says tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

My cheeks burn a bright pink colour, not because of what he's doing. But where he's doing it.

Right outside our school, in front of everybody.

And it's not like I'm embarrassed of atlas, because I'm definitely not.

I've just never been one for public affection, that's all.

Where as atlas is the complete opposite he's a very touchy feely person, it's his way of showing affection since he not very good with his words and emotions.

Besides it's not like we're together, so there's no need for it.

"Come over tonight?", atlas asks looking into my eyes.

"I can't", I say starting to walk again.

"Why?", he asks walking with me.

"Aj, he's not ready to see me and I don't want to make things worst", I reply.

"He's such a baby, honestly needs to fucking get over himself", atlas grumbles.

I don't say anything, it's probably bad for me to think This, but I don't say anything because I kinda agree with him, though I would never admit it, it often feels like I'm arguing with a six year old when me and Aj fight.

"Why don't we go to a cafe or restaurant , oh there's a new one that just opened up down the street from mine?", I ask trying to cheer him up.

"Do they serve burgers?", he mumbles.

"Probably", I say smiling up at him.

"Fine", he smirks "lead the way", he says rapping his arm around my shoulder once more.

"Yess I've been dying to go there", I admit speeding up desperate to get there.

Authors note-
Sorry for not posting for so long, I had a mind block and every time I came to write it just wasn't flowing, so I apologise for that also apologies for the short chapter, but I kinda needed to end it here.
I'm starting to realise Atlas is definitely not a side character so I'm gonna leave his profile here, hope your all enjoying it xx
