Cameron spins me around once again after dancing for about an hour and dips me to the end of the song. I come back up laughing because I was honestly enjoying myself. And with a cute guy! The best part is that he seems to like me, too.

And, even though I know that Aiden is watching me, I couldn't help but wish that he would stop worrying about me.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14VQgcDXs8
I mean, we are at a party. He should be enjoying himself! With that Darcy girl..
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPnGVNSJoo
Bleh. Even thinking about her makes my stomach twist in knots. I don't like her, for whatever reason, but Aiden does so I have to be okay with it.

"Are you having fun?" Cameron asks as he pulls me close.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsaR1k53Ir
I nod up at him with a huge smile on my face because, honestly, I really was having fun.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR5aqrvW8W
"I'd like to see you again after tonight." Cameron says to me.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA44VnBA6c
"Really?" I ask, just to make sure.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkXf6o8SmP
"Definitely." He smirks down at me. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2upsougRN
I freeze for a second but recover before he could since anything was wrong.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CqTq59mVE
"Um, actually, I'm busy all day tomorrow until around dusk. But, I can meet you at the park around eight tomorrow night if you were wanting to hang out." I tell him, hoping he wouldn't question me being busy.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JaWrYQsSV
He smiles as he nods his head. "That'll be great. Maybe we can go see a movie."
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mlOFzWR1M
"Okay!" I agree quickly, having never been to a movie theater before.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U8tRwdJ8D
I used to ask my parents, when I was a child, but my parents said it was dangerous to leave our home. I didn't understand then but I did when the witch cursed me.

After a few more dances, Cameron leans down toward my ear so that I can hear him better.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5W9SopcW8
"I can't wait to see you tomorrow. And hopefully I'll see you before you leave tonight, but I have to get back to help pour drunk people some more drinks." He chuckles.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zqw0I0OHF
I smile back at him and nod. "Okay, I have to find my friend anyway. So, I'll see ya!"
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj3NEBwwed
"See ya."
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC5lRi34UF
He turns away and I look around the room for Aiden. He was standing around talking to some girl. I walk toward them, but not too close because I didn't want to ruin his mojo. I stopped when I noticed it wasn't just some girl.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qcFbJT9xc
I was about to walk up to them but then I heard them having a very heated conversation. Although, i know it's wrong, I listen in on there conversation.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7smwstMo7
"You have to tell her you like her, Aiden. Before it's too late. Do you want to miss your chance? Who knows, which I'm pretty sure I do, she might actually like you back!"
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC61U6LynON
Aiden shakes his head. "Just drop it, Kels. Okay? She's my best friend. I don't want to take the chance and ruin that." He argues. "If she doesn't feel the same... Let's just say, I'd rather just be her friend than nothing at all.. Besides, I told Bambina I would help her, so that's what I'm going to do."
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPI62jgHt2
I don't know why, but it pained me to know that he was hurting this bad over Darcy. He once told me him and Darcy had gotten to become good friends in that month we didn't speak. Maybe he had fallen in love with her.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTXGMxMyoT
After deciding I've heard enough, I cut in.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvmJesOr1L
"Kelsie!" I scream over the music.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf7y0yQXof
She turns around and screams, holding out her arms toward me. I give her a hug before glancing up at Aiden.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRyn5SuvPN
He wouldn't look at me for a few seconds before he finally gives me a big smile. He looked like he was trying to recollect his feelings so that I wouldn't notice anything.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv3A8dP2Dp
I mean, he obviously told Kelsie, but hasn't told me yet. So I'll act like I never knew. He can tell me when he feels he can. He's probably too worried about me and my curse to add to my drama. Maybe I should tell him he doesn't have to help anymore if he doesn't want to. I don't want to be the one to hold him back from the girl he's falling for.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEK9t8dscR
"Did you like him?" Aiden asks winking at me, making my heart stutter.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecZwxv6H36
I shrug. "He seemed okay. I'm meeting him at the park tomorrow night so, we'll see."
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZkfQgwtXw
His eyes darken as his jaw clenches but only for a split second before he masks it with a chuckle.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgag6kxouGb
He pushes my hair from my face and tucks it behind my ear, causing goosebumps to rise everywhere he touches. I feel my face heat up causing him to wink down at me.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoo7If1Yvs
"It'll be great, Bambi. He's a good guy. You'll really like him."
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5tLU5ddsQ
But, I was no longer listening. I couldn't help but study Aiden. The way hits plump lips look when he's smirking down at me. The way his eyes are brighter than usual and captivating. His dark hair messily styled on his head. If I didn't know he spent half an hour making it 'just right' I would say he just woke up like that. I always thought that Aiden was attractive, not that I'd tell him that, but now I was looking at him in a whole different light. And, even worse....
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogUhVJ2tyU
Now I know why I don't like Darcy. It's because I'm jealous that Aiden likes her, and......
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhYToX2767
Oh, my King Tritan...
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTtGuq7A9t
I like Aiden!
