"You're probably confused." I mumbled, looking over at Hayden as he nodded his head slowly. "It's okay if you are, I would be too."
Hayden and I left school after what happened with Ashlynn. He said that he would take me somewhere that would make me feel better, which was on a hill overlooking a beautiful lake. I could feel the warm sun hitting against my skin softly.
I thought that it was very sweet of him but no matter where I went, the humiliation hanging in my chest never went away.
"You don't have to explain anything to me if you don't want to." Hayden glanced over at me, his voice just above a whisper. "I heard what happened with Aiden, and I'm sorry. The guys an idiot for letting you go."
I was shocked by Hayden's words to say the least. I didn't expect him to care about me or my relationship with Aiden so much. "The whole school must have told you." I laughed looking down at my shoes. "It's embarrassing."
"Well," Hayden said slowly. "the guys on the basketball team saw us together and they would joke about..." Hayden stopped himself mid sentence, knowing hearing what the guys on the basketball team were joking about would only make things worse. "Aiden's the team captain, he basically runs that team, so he told the guys to stop joking about it."
My lips turned into a frown. "It was Noah wasn't it?"
Hayden hesitated. "Noah only told me exactly what happened because I asked. I didn't understand what everyone was talking about."
didn't blame Hayden for asking Noah, but I do blame Noah for actually telling him when I asked him not to tell anyone. But then again it's not like it really matters anyway. If Noah didn't tell Hayden he would've asked another guy on the team for the story and they would've told him. It's not really much of a secret anymore.
"It's okay. I'm sorry for what people have been saying to you." I let out a humourless laugh. "I'm Aiden's leftovers apparently and you don't want that. I can tell Mrs. Richardson to stop pairing us—"
"I don't care what people are saying." He chuckled. "It's really not that big of a deal if you think about it. You shouldn't be the one feeling sorry for yourself or humiliated because of what Aiden did to you. It should be the other way around, regardless of what Ashlynn or anyone else says."
"Wow," I breathed out. "No one has ever said that to me before so thank you." A small smile spread across my lips as I looked up at him.
"No problem it's what you deserve to hear, plus that's what friends are for." He grinned.
"We're friends now?" I questioned. "I liked it better when we both hated each other ten years ago."
Hayden's smile faded slightly. "I never hated you Khloe. How could I ever hate Luna's little sister?"
I laughed. "Okay, neither did I."
"Great." Hayden said jumping to his feet. "Then it's settled. We're friends."
