It's only an infatuation...

There was silence.

It had to be the only time that my friends have been this quiet since I met them. I even considered chewing on my nails to get them to say something but fought against it. The silence scared me because it was completely unnatural. Not even Scott moved. Instead, he had his head cocked at me, sharing the same confused looks on Ashton's and Arianna's faces.

I couldn't believe that I actually said that out loud, but I did because these were the only two people I trusted the most, and I needed to get it off my chest. It had been haunting my mind all day to the point where I couldn't deny it to myself anymore.

"You like Aiden?" Ari said rather slowly.

I bit my lip, nearly drawing blood. "I said, I think. I'm not exactly positive about the thought yet."

"Aiden?" Ashton asked cautiously. "Aiden Knight?"
