his head hurt; his bed was comfortable... why had he gotten up and showered? he couldn`t even remember. he sighed and pushed through his thoughts.. HOLY SHIT. he was meeting up with chloe! he sat up quickly.. too quickly, causing a massive pain in his cranium. he groaned. why the hell was he going to see-- oh wait. he`d already seen chloe. he looked around his room and the memories of the night came back.

he`d come back from meeting with chloe pissed as hell because the girl had the audacity to decide that after she fucked him over, nationally; she wanted to ease her way back into his life. he remembered talking to brad, briefly, about the situation before talking to spencer then going over to her dorm and drinking himself stupid. but.. where the fuck was he going now? he reached up and scratched his head. "shit.." a few more moments of thinking and he remembered. lunch; with kiara lebeaux.

that`s right; he`d passed by her in the hallway while going to her and spencer`s room. they talked for a moment; during which time, he`d asked her out to lunch so they could talk a bit. he`d wanted to talk to her and spencer; maybe that`d have kept him from drinking so much.. but she had other engagements. so he`d get his chance to talk to, and get to know miss kiara lebeaux a bit better over lunch.

the realization of the fact that he wasn`t going to see an insufferable bitch and was going to see someone completely opposite lit a little fire to his ass. he popped out of his bed and went over to his dresser to get some pain medicine. after popping two pills in his mouth and taking a gulp of water; he went to his closet and worked on covering his very bare ass.

about half an hour later; hayden kelley was dressed and ready to go; he grabbed his phone, and locked his room door behind him before going into his friend`s room. "hey brad; i`m going out to lunch with kiara.." he raised an eyebrow when he got a very.. unsurprising response from brad: "okay; bring me back some food." he shook his head and laughed a little. "such a fatass.." he nodded a little though then turned to walk away before stopping and turning back to brad. he looked at him for a moment before shaking his head and walking out the dorm.

kieve had informed hayden of a crush that kiara had on him; he didn`t believe him.. mainly because miss lebeaux was always attached to her 'friend' elijah. he didn`t know how far that relationship went; but he was pretty sure that it went a bit farther than just friends. for that particular reason; hayden never approached the topic whenever he got some, very rare, alone time with kiara. the last time he could remember being alone with her, he got back to his dorm covered in some volcano liquid that had the texture of snot. yuck. he grinned a little when he thought back to the event. as uncomfortable as it was; he had to admit it was pretty funny.. after that, he`d never really been around the girl without her sisters or valentina around.. even though they had classes right across from each other.

he checked his watch and saw that he had all of ten minutes before he was late to pick her up at the time he`d set. he shook his head. damn him and his drinking habits; he made a mental note to NOT drink and make plans for the next day unless he knew he`d have plenty of time to recover before the date.. wait; was this a date? hmm.. he didn`t know. he hadn`t planned it to be one.. but he wouldn`t be opposed to a date with miss kiara lebeaux.. she was younger than him.. but she was definitely one of the girls he found absolutely beautiful.. he could even remember having a few improper thoughts about the young lady. but, because she seemed keen on elijah, he`d never approached her or the topic. he dwelt on the thought a bit longer as he came to her dorm. he looked at the time before knocking on the door.

Things were strange; strange; strange lately. Arguments with Elijah; never seeing her sisters; getting drunk with her roommates; her first tattoo and now- alone time with Hayden Kelley. Eating lunch. Yup; just the two of them. Sitting somewhere together; eating food. Crazy talk! Ara never thought this day would ever come; for multiple reasons. One- he was Hayden freakin’ Kelley. What would the most sought after guy in Eisley want with her? It wasn’t a date; but. . . wasn’t there much more pretty; popular; interesting girls for him to spend his time with? Two- she was Kiara freakin’ LeBeaux nad she was a crazy spaz anytime she was around Hayden. The Volcano incident was a prime example. She had been on her way to her science class when Hayden; who had the class across the hall; had approached her to talk. Poor dude ended up getting covered in “lava” [which was the consistency of snot and the color of blood] and Ara got a big fat ZERO for her project. Singlehandedly the worst experience of her life. Three- it was so random! All of a sudden he went from bestfriend of Ara’s sisters boyfriend to; guy asking her to have lunch with him. And he said he needed to talk. No; not needed- he just wanted to talk to her. Wanted. It was almost too much for her.

What was strange was; Ara couldn’t help but feel like their lunch get together couldn’t be at a worse time. She and Elijah were bickering a lot lately. Then Elias disappeared; which Ara thought would be a good thing because then Elijah could see how much happier his life was without his brother and they could move out like they discussed. And it had been all good until Ara had eased in the fact that she was going to lunch with Hayden. She wished she could say that she didn’t expect the reaction he got; some sort of short not-so-nice retort and the night had kind of gotten awkward before Elijah did what he always did; flipped the script on her and contradicted what he said earlier to try and make things better. And he did seem a bit less pessimistic about the lunch after she said that it wasn’t a date. See? What a horrible time to finally get that alone time with Hayden Kelley she always wanted.

To make a bad situation worse; Ara didn’t drive. Like a lot of Eisley students; the LeBeaux kids had something like a car service- but even better. They had a particular person who got paid to drop what he was doing to hop in the car and take whichever LeBeaux sibling to where they wanted to go. That guy was slowly but surely being paid to do nothing. Nala had opted to learn how to drive and had her parents buy her a car. Tilly went by way of KP and before recent events; Ara didn’t do much besides school; cheering and hanging out with her sisters and Val. Now that she had a life; one that revolved around Elijah; his motorcycle was her most often used mode of transportation. The only person who used their driver was Liam and Liam; well; who the hell knew what he did? So; the morning of the lunch date when Ara called their driver to fetch her from the Campbell Cave and take her back to campus; he informed her that he was busy with “Master Liam” and wouldn’t be able to pick her up in time for her to really get ready for her date lunch with Hayden. So. . . she had to ask Elijah to drop her off back at her dorm.

Neither of them really said anything to each other; both knowing that he was taking her to get ready to go hang out with the guy some people might call Elijah’s opponent. It felt wrong to Ara; so she decided that they’d hang out that night and threw all sorts of ‘maybe we could’ scenario’s out there to lighten the mood and remind him that she’s not picking one or the other and just because she’s having a meal with Hayden; that didn’t mean that she was gonna cast Elijah off. It seemed to work and when he dropped her off in front of her dorm; she gave him a tight hug; reminded him to keep his schedule open for when he was done with work and hurried into her room to get ready.

And what a process it was. Ara wanted to look good; of course. But not too good because she didn’t want him thinking she obsessed about getting ready for something noncommittal like a lunch. However; she didn’t want to look too casual to give him the impression that she didn’t give a hoot about their get together or put herself in that comfortable friend zone. She wanted him to look at her and be impressed; but not overwhelmed. Show him that she cares about her appearance without him assuming she’s “one of those girls”. It took her two hours to put together what she perceived as an easy going; yet well put together lunch outfit together. It didn’t help that she had no idea where he was taking her or if it would be lunch and that’s it or if maybe; just maybe; there would be more to it than just some friendly chatter and a meal.

It was only minutes after pulled her hair back into a simple and loose bun that she heard the knock on the door. Could it be? Could it really and honestly be? Ara got a rush of butterflies in her stomach. This seemed all too surreal. Blinking a few times she mentally went over her outfit to make sure everything was okay and that she had her cellphone in her purse. Everything was right where they should be. Everything was okay. She had nothing to do but answer that door and go on her way with Hayden Kelley. Suddenly she felt nervous and a few hellish scenarios about what could go wrong attacked her emotions and almost felt a slight panic surge through her. Shaking her head; she pulls her purse put onto her shoulder and leaves her room.

After taking a deep breath she opens the door to her dorm and actually squeezes the doorknob when she see’s who is standing there. Smiling; she nervously reaches up and flicks at her dangling star earring with her pointer finger; “Hi. . .”
