Chapter 14: Entangled Hearts
Aria woke up happily. She was alive! She put on her finest clothes: trousers, a blue top, and a jacket.
Then, she styled her hair, showing off her beautiful face. She put on a little makeup, picked up her bag and her phone, and smiled at the mirror.
She walked down the stairs, her green eyes glancing through the parlor. She didn't see him.
She went to the beautiful big garden and looked around, checking the pool. She still didn't see Andrew.
As she was about to turn, she mistakenly hit something. But there was nobody there when she walked in, and there was nobody there except Andrea and her.
As she turned around, she saw a figure standing by the pool, his eyes fixed intently on her. It was Andrew, and he looked stunning, his hair messy and his eyes gleaming with a soft smile. Aria's heart skipped a beat as their eyes met, and she felt a flutter in her chest.
"Hey," Andrew said, his voice low and husky, as he walked towards her. "You look beautiful today."
Aria's cheeks flushed with pleasure, and she smiled, feeling a sense of shyness wash over her. "Thanks," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
As Andrew approached her, Aria noticed that he was holding a small bouquet of flowers. "I brought these for you," he said, his eyes sparkling with kindness. "I figured you could use a little pick-me-up after being cooped up in bed for so long."
Aria's heart melted at the thoughtful gesture, and she felt a surge of gratitude towards Andrew. "Thank you," she said, her voice filled with emotion, as she took the flowers from him.
Aria smiled as she hugged him tightly. They held her hand as they walked, wearing matching necklaces they got for themselves on Valentine's Day.
They walked hand in hand as they entered the car and drove off.
Antosia looked at her phone as she lay on the bed, apparently waiting for an important message. She looked at her big mirror, then walked down the stairs to her makeup room. Her room was huge, and her bed was so big that she had to step on three stairs to get to it.
She smiled as the message she was waiting for arrived. She happily danced her way to the toilet.
Ever since the incident that happened last semester on her group's last day at the high school prom party, they had tried everything to move on, but they couldn't. Every single person in the group was looking for a solution, but secretly.
As Antosia was busy bathing, Mikel and Diane were together in their own house, preparing for breakfast. Classes were going to start very late, so the couples had decided to enjoy it together.
Krib was in his room as his servants walked in with different clothes to wear and wristwatches to put on.
Krib looked at all the clothes, then picked the ones he would love to wear.
They all met at the entrance of the university hall, exchanged glances, then walked in. They were not only the richest, most influential group in the school, but also the most famous. All the students looked up to them. It didn't take long before all the attention of the students was changed to the person who just walked in.
Aria walked in, looking stunning in her outfit, with Andrew by her side. The students couldn't help but stare at the couple, who seemed to radiate an aura of confidence and happiness. Aria's green eyes sparkled as she smiled, and Andrew's eyes gleamed with adoration as he gazed at her.
The group of friends, including Antosia, Mikel, Diane, and Krib, exchanged knowing glances. They were all aware of the whispers and rumors surrounding Aria and Andrew's relationship. Some people thought they were too perfect, too happy, and that something had to be wrong. But the group knew better. They knew that Aria and Andrew's love was real, and that they had been through enough to deserve their happiness.
As the students continued to stare, Aria and Andrew made their way to their usual table, where the rest of the group was waiting. They exchanged warm smiles and greetings, and the atmosphere around them seemed to lighten up.
But just as things were settling down, a figure emerged from the crowd, catching everyone's attention. It was a boy with piercing blue eyes and jet-black hair, his gaze fixed intently on Aria. The group's eyes narrowed, sensing something off about the newcomer.
"Who's that?" Antosia whispered, her eyes locked on the mysterious boy.
Aria's eyes flickered, and she seemed to freeze for a moment. "I...I don't know," she stammered, her voice barely audible.
