ONE MIND, TWO SOULS

I love the rain. The sound, the sight of it calms me. It helps me find my inner peace, my soul. It is raining today. As I sat inside the big, bare classroom, I looked outside to see the droplets on the window pane. I could see my reflection; I could see the whole class from that small window pane, from another point of perspective. Looking at things in a different way gives me a happy, contented feeling inside. Yes, please call me weird. As I continued to see outside, I noticed something different. No, it wasn’t the outside that was different. I could see a figure at the reflection standing, crossing her arms while looking at me intently.
“Mia, class is dismissed in case you didn’t hear me,” Mrs Ellis told me, “...which clearly you didn’t,” she added at the end. She gave me a good five-second glare and disappeared from the classroom. Crap. This was already my third time a teacher caught me not paying attention in class. I quickly packed my books and rushed out the classroom. As I walked through the hallway, I could see Aiden waiting for me at his locker. He gave me a smile as I rushed over him. Aiden was my best friend. In fact, he has been my best friend for a long time now. We had been best friends since kindergarten.
“Hey,” Aiden greeted me, interrupting my thoughts.
“Hey. So, what’re you planning to do now?” I questioned him.  Aiden and I always hung out with each other after school. In fact, it was more like a daily thing we did with each other.
“Sorry M, as much as I want to hang out with you today, I can’t. In case you had forgotten, we have a five-page Literature assignment due tomorrow,” Aiden sighed. Crap.
“Huh? What assignment Aiden? I don’t recall Mr Smith saying we had any assignment?” my voice was full of eagerness and anxiety. Aiden raised one of his eyebrows and gave me a sinister smile.
“Well, yes he did. But you wouldn’t know that would you? Since you were busy drawing my cute face during Literature lesson,” Aiden gave me a smirk that I loved but hated at the same time. What was this guy talking about?
“Number one, I wasn’t drawing, I was writing. Number two, I’m dead because I haven’t even started on the assignment. And number three, yes, you’re cute since ‘cute’ means ugly but adorable. Oh, and don’t forget to minus off the word ‘adorable’. It doesn’t fit you,” I chuckled at him and stuck out my tongue to show him I was joking. But it didn’t matter anyhow. Aiden and I are so close we don’t need to tell each other we were joking. It was another thing me and Aiden shared. However today, his face spoke something different. Something I couldn't really figure out.
“Oh come on Mia, you need to stop reading the dictionary. And please, you definitely knew what type of ‘cute’ I was talking about,” Aiden wagged his eyebrows at me. His words rubbed off my thoughts almost immediately. Who was I kidding? Aiden wasn’t the type of guy who would cry over a girl just because she thinks he’s ugly. But I didn’t find Aiden ugly at all. Obviously, I was joking. In fact, Aiden is well, alright I hate to admit this, but well he is hot. Ah!  I just said it! Thank the world for not having human beings being able to read each other’s minds, I thanked God silently. I definitely didn’t need Aiden to know how I felt about his looks. As I was getting back to the topic, Aiden is hot. He had dark chocolate hair that looked like black from a distance. He had the kind of eyes that you can look into and feel like you are getting lost. The kind you can relate to that are truly windows to the soul.
“Mia, are you there? Mia?!” I snapped back into reality and left my thoughts. Aiden was giving me a weird look. “You’re doing that spacing out thing again. Just wanted to tell you, I’m going home. See you tomorrow!” Aiden bolted at lightning speed and gave me a frantic wave from the back. I shook my head from side to side. Boys.
Oh, did I mention to you that he also had a nice ass? I was shocked at my own thought as I started walking home. Oh well.
