Chapter 8 - Penchant

Aria has joined coaching class of course with Alison. It's a new journey and and an amazing one. Jenna, new girl in class is a very pretty one, very smart and always attention seeking. The day she joined the class all the guys in class got pretty excited as they had a new pretty face to charm their eyes. Jenna was little easy to approach and she got a proposal by a guy who didn't seem to be interested in girls before. As far as Aria knew Jenna had agreed to lot many proposals at a time. There were fights in school and after school hours for Jenna. Jenna loved all that. She would come and gossip about how famous she is to Aria. Aria didn't care much until she heard her coaching teacher proposed Jenna. Aria used to see him as a gentleman and a very genuine teacher. Aria didn't want to believe it. She started asking doubts after class and text msgs to the teacher to know more about him. He was very decent with Aria. He never went off track. He always helped Aria with her doubts. As Aria thought she could trust him now, she told what she heard about him through Jenna. He was shocked and denied every accusations on him. Aria decided not to trust Jenna. In order to know her teacher more she figured she had something more for him. But Aria knew it's always the intellect what attracts her. She respected him. Next time Jenna came up with something on their teacher Aria stopped her there. Jenna said she needs help, she didn't feel safe anymore. Aria is in dilemma again. She always told her teacher if Jenna had a news about him. Aria continued believing him and fighting for him. Always shutting people out who questioned his character. This continued for a pretty long time until Aria was holding Jenna's phone for a while when they went on a class trip and msg pops up 'hey sweetie how are you? ' from teacher. So now Aria knows he is not the one to be believed but Jenna was also not at her best. There was mutual response. Aria always envied Jenna for her beauty but she got so much obsessed with Jenna that Aria had got involved in knowing the teacher so much that she could say it loud on her face that she was at fault. It didn't turn the way Aria thought. Teacher was just extra sweet with Aria so only after having proof also it took time for Aria to believe that he isn't the person what she thought of him . Aria had forgotten her own age guys around, because she was so much into other's life. Alison was always there, part of every conversation with Jenna or the teacher. It was difficult for Aria to understand how wrong she can be about people around her. Would have been tough to get through this obsession of hers but Toby came into the picture with lot of twist and turns.
