Aphmau's pov

Aaron hugged me back and I could feel everyone's eyes on us but I didn't care.

"I'm sorry Aphmau. I just thought you forgot about me." Aaron said as he tucked a stand of my hair behind my ear.

"Ahem." Suddenly, we were interrupted and we jumped away from each other and the teacher looked man.

"Please refrain from any hugging until class is over." The teacher said and we nodded.

"Hey Aaron. Nya." Michi said as she walked to our desk.

She was smiling and it looked like she was up to something. I don't like it.

"Hey Aaron. Do you want to go out sometime, nya?" Michi asked and I frowned and gripped my notebook.

"Actually." Aaron said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder "I have plans already."

I was surprised but then played along. "Y-yeah! Aaron and I are gonna hang out so."

Michi frowned and glared at me but then smiled at Aaron. "Okay. Some other time then." She said and we worked peacefully on our work the next hour.

My heart was still racing and I found myself blushing whenever I saw Aaron. What is wrong with me!? I think.....I'm in love again.

I sighed and walked down the hall hugging my books. Now I really want to confess to Aaron but how? I wish I could just rewind time and tell him before he left.

Aaron's pov

I sat in class lost in thought. I couldn't find a way to ask Aphmau out. I had just remembered when Aphmau was six and I was seven. Aphmau had confessed to me then but she was asleep.

Flashback

I was playing over at Aphmau's house and we played tag for a while before Aphmau fell asleep using my lap as a pillow.

"Move Aph." I said and she smiled and shook her head.

She was asleep but awake at the same time.

"Move." I wined and then Aphmau's words shocked me.

"No. Don't wanna. Cuz I love Aaron."

My face turned red and I don't think she even remembered saying it.

"I-is it true Aphmau?" I asked and Aphmau slowly opened her eyes.

"Yeah....I love Aaron so let's get married when we grow up." Aphmau said and then closed her eyes again and I could hear her breathing lightly.

My face flushed red and I smiled as I leaned down and kissed Aphmau's forehead.

End of flashback

Aphmau's pov

Then, I suddenly remembered what I said when I was six. I had confessed to Aaron and told him I wanted to marry him when we grew up......he kissed my forehead.

My face turned red and my heart started beating faster. Please do not remember that Aaron!!

****

The next day at school Aaron and I never talked. When we would happen to look at each other we would blush and then avert his gaze.

I knew why I was doing it but why was he? I was sitting with Katelyn at lunch and she said "So. What is happening between you and Aaron?"

I blushed and looked away. "Go kiss a frog.....or, kiss Travis. He's the next best thing." I joked and Katelyn looked mad.

"Hey! I don't even resemble a frog!" Travis said offended and I laughed.

"Kiss him Katelyn so he'll turn into a prince!" I said as I laughed. Katelyn's face turned red and she was about to punch Travis when a voice spoke up.

"Now, now. No violence Katelyn." Laurence said and and Garroth followed behind him. I smiled at them and chuckled.

Katelyn sat back down and Travis breathed out relieved when his skull wasn't shattered by Katelyn's punch. They didn't call her Katelyn the Fire Fist for nothing.

I giggled to myself as Katelyn shot me a glare. "Hey Aphmau. I think Zane was looking for you." Garroth said and I nodded and got up to leave.

Lunch still had about twenty minutes so I had enough time to talk to Zane. I walked down the hall when I saw the black haired boy.

"Zane!" I yelled out and he glanced over to me and gave me a light smile.

"What did you need me for?" I asked and I looked down at the ground.

"As a friend I should know if something is bothering you.....you've been distracted and whenever you see Aaron you both blush and look away and total avoid each other." Zane said and I felt heat rise not my cheeks. 

"It's nothing Zane." I said and he suddenly shot me a look that said 'don't lie to me or I will throw you into the Nether.'

I sighed and said "I remembered something really embarrassing I said to Aaron when we were little so it's kinda hard to face him. As for Aaron. I don't know why he has been acting the same."

"What did you say?" Zane asked and I blushed.

"I said I loved him and wanted to marry him. But we were little! It doesn't really count as a confession right?" I asked and Zane sighed.

"Aphmau. Do you love Aaron?" He asked and I looked down and my face was probably redder than a strawberry.

"Y-yes." I stuttered and then Zane opened the classroom door and guess who was standing there? Aaron! Out of all people!

I froze and Aaron's cheeks were tinged pink. I felt so embarrassed and Zane said "There. I got her to admit it. Just don't hurt her." Then, Zane left.

"Aphmau-" Aaron started but I couldn't calm down so I ran.

"Aphmau!" Aaron yelled but I didn't stop. I kept running until I reached my house.

Luckily my mom was at work so I didn't have to worry about being scolded for skipping class.

I locked myself in my room and jumped face first into my bed. I am so dead.....I don't think my heart can take anymore. Zan he....I think he set this up because it looked to me that Aaron was called too.

I actually admitted my feelings....what if things get awkward? No, they are awkward already but....if Aaron gives me the chance....I want to be his girlfriend.
