DESPITE THE INITAL reaction, Kaia did absolutely nothing with the knowledge of her feelings. Not that night anyways. She went back up the stairs, helped Aiden wash his hair out and acted as though she hadn't had a complete mental spiral all because she realized she held feelings for him. Kaia wasn't even sure she had plans of ever telling him, would now even be an okay time to do it? Wouldn't it be too risky?
She didn't know, so she chose to put it on the backburner for now, she had to think it over, she had time to decide what she'd ultimately end up doing with the knowledge she liked him, but for now she'd act as though everything was normal. It wasn't like anything would change suddenly due to her realization and she was right. The two pretended like they didn't almost kiss and they did their usual hangout with Kaia and Aiden messing around on Minecraft and playing a couple of rounds of Just Dance after Aiden begged her to.
Her discovery was now two days ago. Aiden and Ben had left the morning after to spend some time with their families and Kaia was left with her mom to spend time with again.
