After school, my group of friends and Cloud's group went to the mall with both of us. The reason? I don't know either because I was dragged here

Nikki was still ignoring Cloud and her brother as she hooked arms with me, Yara and Jane introduced themselves to Nikki, and Nikki's eyes glitter when she sets her eyes on Yara. She leaned in to whisper in my ear "Yara looks cute, can I get her number?"

"You ask for her number" I smirked at Nikki who's eyes are still glued at Yara who was not aware because she was now reading the latest ero-romance story, Nikki doesn't mind that she reads that kind of genre since she has some books like those herself

I crossed my arms "Now can anyone explain to me why am I dragged to the mall?!" I asked them loudly, my plan to enjoy the entire day for myself is now ruined because Cloud thought it would be a great idea to drag me here since he is being dragged by Will. They all ignored my question and continued going on in their conversation

This all started with Alice, Jane, and Yara's idea to have fun at the mall, Jane forced her brother to come which resulted in Cloud coming and bringing me along. He didn't stop there though, he went as far as dragging the twins with Nick talking to Peter and Nikki still ogling at Yara

I checked my watch to look at the time I am supposed to meet Aiden so I slipped out quietly from my group to go back to school and meet him at the gates, when I meant enjoying the day to myself I mean it because I am going to watch a hockey game with Aiden

Aiden was leaning at the brick wall looking down at his phone

"Aiden!" I called out to him while speed walking, he looked up to see me and a bright smile was now on his face "Pip" he muttered happily

I stopped in front of him to catch my breath "Sorry I am late, they dragged me to the mall and I managed to slip out" I explained to him, he helped me up since both of my hands were on my knees for support. "You shouldn't be in a hurry too much Pip you might get hurt you know"

Being scolded by him is ok to me but if Cloud scolds me it always irritates my nerves for a weird reason, we hopped into his car that was parked beside a building at the front of the school. I was very excited to see a hockey game for the first time and Aiden was glad I was

We stopped at the entrance of a hockey arena and he pulled out two tickets that are VIP and the seats has a great view to see everything up close

"I'm going to get popcorn, you want some?" He asked me and I nodded before he left to buy it, the announcer says the team names, and all of them appeared. As I eye every team member that came out one particular person was familiar as he stood in front of me on the ice rink

I squinted my eyes than to my surprise "Liam?!" I whisper yell in disbelief at what I am seeing

It was one of the Marshall siblings that were in the ice rink in a hockey uniform, he gave me a small smile and wave before he went to his team

How the heck did Liam know that I was here? Wait no

I look at all the audience with a nervous beating heart

There's no fucking way that he will be here

I assure myself

When I saw no one that I can recognize I gave out a breath of relief with one hand on my chest giving it a pat

"Hey is that Cloud Marshall?" I heard the girl beside me talking to her friend and I look to where she was pointing, sure enough, it was Cloud entering the arena with all of my friends as they take a front-row seat

OH MY GOD!!!

No wonder Cloud was so calm when he heard that I will be spending my after school Thursday with Aiden because HE IS GOING TO BE THERE

I prayed to the heavens that they don't see me from the other side of the arena, Cloud being the person he is managed to find me with his eagle forest green eyes, and he leaned back on his chair with crossed arms as a proud smirk was plastered on his face

The girls beside me swooned at Cloud thinking that he was smirking at them, I smell the delicious scent of caramel popcorn and Aiden sat beside me with excitement. He bought a huge bag of caramel popcorn that we can share together

While watching the game, Aiden showed me a popcorn that he threw high into his mouth. I did try it but it ended up falling at the head at some bald guy two rows behind me, me and Aiden pretended that it wasn't us because the bald guy was looking at everybody around him with a confused look with one hand on his head

There was a break and the kiss cam showed up on the jumbotron screen, the camera was choosing while the announcer was talking very loudly. The people that appeared on the big screen was me and Aiden

My friends stood up in shock and Cloud was not very happy to see it, me and Aiden looked at each other with red faces as the crowd cheered on for us to kiss. We both shake our heads with the camera guy but the announcer was not giving up "C'mon lady at least a small kiss"

A small kiss they say, they didn't say what type of kiss

I quickly kissed Aiden to the cheek and that made the crowd happy anyway and Aiden became redder

"Meh, not a kiss on the lips but alright. Back on to the game" the announcer said

The crowd shifted their attention back to the game, Aiden was hiding his reaction behind his hand and I can't tell if he doesn't like me kissing his cheek or not. His red ears told me otherwise

My friends must be in great confusion

They all looked at me from the other side with Cloud clenching his fist real hard, I can see it because his hand was in the armrest and was glaring at Aiden who now has a chill look glaring back at Cloud

These two never seemed to give it a rest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The game ended with me meeting up with everyone and Liam walking out of the changing room, it was awkward for me because Cloud and Aiden kept giving each other death glares like if looks could kill

The two will be killing each other to no end, it might be a bit overdramatic but trust me when I say that these two didn't even break eye contact as we meet in the middle. Liam noticed the tension and asked Nick "What the heck is going on?" He looked at his little brother

Nick whispered something to him that I could not decipher the words he was saying but when he finished, Liam's eyes went straight to me. It seems Liam couldn't believe what Nick told him as he mumbled "That's impossible Cloud can do that?"

I am now fully sure that Nick can say anything but still wouldn't explain it to the one who is hella confused, Nick winked at me like what he just told Liam was a good one

One day, I am going to interrogate Nick Matthews

Aiden and Cloud walked far away from the group to talk to one another in private, Cloud was pissed off at something that Aiden said that he took long strides toward me and grabbed my hand as we both exited the arena

What the hell is happening?
