You had found yourself growing considerably close to Aris. Closer than you had ever been to another person. Some might even say you had grown to really like him. You possibly thought there was a chance that he really liked you the same way.
Not anymore. Not when you saw the particular closeness he had with Sonya. It gave you this pit in your stomach that almost made you sick.
It wasn't exactly concealed by your expression. Your eyes were in what could only be described as a glare as your lips were upturned in an almost scowl. If humans were capable of changing color, you would be an envy green.
As Aris turned around, one of their hands on his shoulder, you were introduced to Sonya and Harriet. Forcing your lips in a strained smile, you tried not to let any of that show as you looked at them.
“Come on. We’ll get you both inside,”Harriet waved, turning to walk. Sonya stood directly beside her, the both of them turning around once. When they saw that you both were following them, they went back to leading.
You trailed a little behind Aris, your hands in your pockets as you stared at the ground. Your jaw was practically clenched shut, though you knew it was unreasonable. He was never yours, and you were never his.
Aris definitely noticed. He’d be an idiot not to, just like how he’d have to be an idiot not to notice just how at ease you both seemed to feel around each other. That and the small glances that were far from sneaky.
Stopping in his tracks, he waited until you were right next to him. Even though you could feel his eyes on you, you just kept walking, even with him beside you.
He looked around at everything around him for a second before leaning even closer to you. You pretended not to notice the same way you pretended there weren't shivers down your spine.
“As cute as it is, jealousy is not your color,”He whispered in your ear. You tried to decide whether to heavily deny it or walk faster.
You didn't quite know how to do either though as you completely froze, your eyes widening as you stared at him. He simply gave an innocent shrug as he looked back, acting blissfully unaware to the effect he had on you.
“Only a fool would be jealous over you,”You huffed, ignoring your face heating up as you went back to walking.
You've definitely been a fool quite a few times in your life. What's one more?
