GREAT. It was the one person that she did not want to see. In some ways, anyway.
Darn, if only he still hadn't recognized her and walked on. Ella had actually forgotten about her new hair, and that Aiden still hadn't seen it. "Are you saying that it looks horrible?" She said moodily. Right, Aiden didn't actually say that. But she had her reasons to be cold with him. MANY reasons, in fact.
And now he was sitting by her... WTH? Ella shuffled away from him a bit, even if there was distance between them already.
Noo, he caught on, and he bluntly said it out loud. As if he was purposely trying to embarrass her. She felt her face go red, and she cleared her throat. "Yeah, well.." She looked upwards to the ceiling slightly to think of a decent reason. "This thing is on shuffle and it just came on now." Mhm.. that didn't explain how she knew all the words though.. "I wasn't listening to it just because it was your favourite song, y'know." PSH, was that convincing enough?
Catching his eye as he tried to peek at her book, Ella almost threw it to the other side of the room, but not quite. Instead, she snapped it shut and glared at him. "I told you before that no one sees this." And she placed it back into her bag, followed by a sigh. "I would've shown you something, but I have recently changed my mind." Yeah, before he dumped her.
Pause...
"What're you doing, Aiden? Why are you talking to me?" She said simply. It's not like she didn't want to speak to him, but it didn't do the whole 'getting-over-him' thing any good. Also, she began to wonder where he had just been before seeing her here. With Savannah maybe? Snogging her face off?
*cringe*
Okay, so once the initial awkwardness of realizing they were talking to
each other passed, Ella seemed to think the worst straight away. With her hair, this time. "
No, of course not," he denied. "
I just.. didn't know you wanted to go blonde."
She shuffled away from him when he sat down. Heh. It felt like he had cooties or something. Ah, right. So, her music player was on shuffle mode. "
Oh." And he believed that until she said how she wasn't listening to it because it was his favorite song. Hmmh. Well.. he'd just keep the false hope that she was lying to him. "
It's a good song, though.. don't you think?" It wass. Although he really didn't listen to that song lately for rather obvious reasons.
Ohhh. Yeah, he could see that reaction coming. The book snapped shut rather loudly and he looked at her. "
I know.. I was just curious." It was no surprise that she didn't want to show him anything anymore... but that didn't stop him from wanting to see her work anyway.
And then she was questioning him about all this. About talking to her and all. Really, he hoped to not talk to her anytime soon. Make things a bit easier. But he couldn't just start talking about Iron & Wine, then suddenly trot off when he realized he was talking to Ella. Plus, it was kinda nice.. "
Well, I.."
MISS YOU. He shrugged awkwardly and thought something up. "
I got a letter from Patrick last week, and he wanted me to say 'hi' to you for him." Which
was true. Not that Ella and Patrick were super tight anymore, but y'know.
