Chapter 25

                                    

                                          
                                   Lizbeth's POV 
    I didn't expect for Monica to be honest and nice to me after everything she's said and put me through. I always kept wondering what Irina needed to be at my house for. I never had a problem with her being there; it's the fact that she was being suspicious about it. Clara didn't even want to look at me which means it's something I'm not okay with and will not be okay with. I continued down the hallway with a few students still talking and walking past me when I heard Aaron calling out from behind me. 
"Lizbeth!" I heard as I turned around to see Aaron catching up to me 
"Hey...what's up?" I asked as I tucked my hair behind an ear 
"So what time am I picking you up tonight?" He asked 
"What time is the drag race?" I asked 
"Last time I checked on the ticket, like 8-7pm" Aaron said as he stretched the back it his 
"I'll be ready before then" I said as I smiled 
"You don't have to go you know.." he said 
"I want to.." I said as I grabbed a hold of his hand 
"Why do you hate drag races? I mean I can see maybe at time they may be boring but at the end it's fun" Aaron explained sounding curious as to why my hate towards drag races 
"My dad used to take my sisters and I to them when we were kids" I said as I shrugged my shoulders 
"Oh..I'm so-
"Don't..you didn't know and that's okay..I do miss going and I'm not passing up this chance" I said 
"Great..I'll text you" Aaron said as he was about to walk away when I grabbed a hold of his arm 
"Text?" I asked. He looked back at me and nodded 
"How'd you get my number?" I asked 
"Clara" he said "but don't tell her I told you" he pleaded 
"What?" I asked. I was confused 
"She told me not to tell you she gave me your number" Aaron said 
"I'm not mad" I said. I was but it's Clara and this is how she is and has always been. She did the same thing with Derek except she gave him my Instagram account name 
"Are you sure?" Aaron asked sounding concerned and guilty 
"Yes..I'll see you later" I said 
"Okay" he said as he grabbed my chin with one hand and kissed my forehead and walked off 
I was scared there for a moment. I was thinking he was going to kiss me on the lips. I'm sort of glad he didn't kiss me on the lips. If we wound up kissing I'd want it to be something like never before. My first kiss with Derek was at the most basic place. The movies. Either it's that or Aaron just doesn't want to kiss me at all. Either way I'm not getting attached again and end up getting hurt, maybe worse this time. 
I walked out of the school and walked off to meet up with Clara, she was standing by her car waiting for me. I don't have a car yet and I'm only fifteen. My mom wants to wait until I'm sixteen and with a permit. 
"Hey little sis, what took you so long?" Clara asked 
"I was with Aaron" I said
