Your Past, My Present, Our Future - Chapter 3

*Isabella's POV*

The rest of my day was pretty uneventful. Just as always, I had lunch by myself and then had my last 2 classes of the day. After those 2 days I put stuff in my locker that I was no longer going to need and started my usual walk home. I only saw Aiden one more time which was in my last class. Other than that he was with what I'm pretty sure was Zoe. I got home, went upstairs and locked my door ready to start my hours of homework that needed to be done for tomorrow.

*Aiden's POV*

Well right after my last period I finally decided to break it off. Which was, thank God, great timing because she had already said goodbye to all of her friends and we were alone. "Hey Zoe I need to tell you something," I started not knowing how to do it. After 5 months it's harder than you think. "Yes baby?" She said with a smile. "Zoe I think we should uhm... you know stop seeing each other." I said nervously and got up. She looked shocked and stared, "Are you breaking up with me?!" She practically screamed. "Uhm... yeah." I said trying to get this over with already. "No..." She said and got up. "No one dumps me especially after 5 months Aiden!" "I'm sorry Zoe, but I have to do this. I just don't feel for you anymore." I said. "You know what Aiden, do whatever you want, it's over but you're still apparently the same player like you were before... besides, I can do, way better than you," she said and stormed off.

I sighed finally leaving the school grounds as her words kept repeating in my head. I'm doing this for a reason not just because I kept telling myself the whole way to band practice. Once at band practice all the guys were there and ready to practice. "Dude why so late?" Josh, our bass player said. "I had to deal with something before I got here." I said. "Ok well we are still stuck on this whole new song thing and we are not progressing on anything so get your late ass over here and start thinking buddy." Aaron, our drum player said. I nodded and went over to start on the song.

*Isabella's POV*

I had finished all my homework like at around 7, so I went downstairs and grabbed something to eat then I showered. I put on my PJs and laid in bed for about another hour and finally decided to sleep for the night.

*Next Morning*

I woke up and got out of bed. Well I guess it's just going to be another boring day at school. I started the shower and quickly hopped in. I decided I had, all I need to finish my Poem essay so I stayed in the shower a little longer. Once I finally got out, I changed into a Gray Sweatshirt With Imprint On The Front, some light blue ripped jeans, and some all white vans. I did my hair really quick and grabbed my bag and went downstairs to head out to school already. I walked out of my house avoiding my mom who was in the kitchen getting up and ready for work I'm guessing and shut the door quietly behind me. I walked to school just like any other day and I went straight to my locker so that I could grab all of my books needed for that day. I felt a pair of eyes on me and I looked to my left and only saw people talking to each other paying no attention to me as usual.

Then I looked to my right and saw Aiden. He was grabbing something from what I assumed to be his locker and he turned his head away quickly. I closed my locker and went to my homeroom like I do everyday of my miserable high school life. As I walked in, there was a group of girls standing at the doorway, and unfortunately in order for me to get inside they would have to move. "Excuse me," I said quietly. They hadn't heard me and I sighed, "Excuse me." I said a little louder. They all turned around and Zoe was part of that crowd and she smirked at me. "Sure I'm sorry," she said. All the girls dispersed and I starting walking through them when I felt myself lose my balance. All of my books hit the ground and I followed not so long after. "Oops, I'm so sorry," she said and smirked down at me.

I refused to let her see that I had hurt my hand for trying to break my fall and grabbed my books. She walked over me and went to her seat. Someone walked in and I stood up quickly and accidentally bumped into them. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to," I said quietly. "Damn Isabella you're such a klutz, first you trip over me and now you bump into Aiden." I heard Zoe say. My temperature dropped as she said Aiden and I looked behind me. "It's no problem Isabella," he said and smiled gently at me. I saw Zoe glare at us and then I quickly went to go sit down. I sat in my usual seat by the window and Aiden sat two seats in front of me. It surprised me that he wasn't sitting with Zoe. I tried grabbing my books from my bag and I had forgotten about my hand and I crunched.

The teacher had come in not long after and Aiden turned around in his seat. I looked up and he smiled and then turned back around. I was confused and then I felt someone else staring at me. I turned to my right and there was Zoe giving me the death glare. I looked back down at my work and started paying attention to the teacher.
