I found myself staring at the plain white ceiling again. My thoughts overtaking me with worry, anger, and sadness.
Worry, for the thought of not being able to unlock the lock that chains me to the most, egoistical boy, I've ever met.

Aria Evans
The end of the school day came and to say I was finally relieved was an understatement.
Ignoring someone while being ignored took some energy out of you.
While Dylan took the liberty to ignore me at all costs, I was trying my best to ignore a tall Australian with a lip ring.
Yeah, I was not ready for the whole, "sorry I missed our date but I found your bestfriend Zander more important than you, so I stayed with him but trust me I still hate him."
How crazy would I sound?
And it wasn't any easier ignoring him during the classes I actually had with him, trust me it was quite hard. Acting dumb and pretending you have a hearing problem did the trick for me though.
Shaking my head, I made my way up the stairs, towards our school's library. I wasn't doing so well on homework and I needed a huge catch up.
Heck, I needed a miracle.
Making my way down the hallway, I was about to turn into the library when a tall figure stopped me.
"Aria."
Halting mid step, I looked up. Eyes as blue as the ocean. Cursing at my bad luck, I turned to quickly walk away but was stopped once again by a hand on my arm.
Sighing at my defeat, I turned around to face him.
"Why are you ignoring me?"
There was my chance to actually tell him the truth.
That I felt bad for ditching our date but Zander really needed someone and I happened to be there.
I just couldn't do that though, Zander trusted me that night, he actually opened up to me. I couldn't just tell someone else something that wasn't my business to tell.
So I chose Zander, once again.
"I'm sorry, I just fell asleep."
Chuck seemed confused by my words so I chose to elaborate.
"Our date last night. I came home and I ended up falling asleep! I just feel really bad and you must be so angry, I'm so sorry."
I put on my best guilty face, not having any trouble at all since I actually felt guilty, as I waited for a response, expecting him to yell at me.
