I swear I'm gonna punch you

Jacob had been quite surprised seeing Aria's hair all decorated like that.

Helen had touched the flowers and exclaimed that they were beautiful, and had asked why had she decided to do her hair suddenly with flowers today.

Aria had replied that she had not done it, and Helen had wasted her breath asking who had done her hair such beautifully? Aria naturally had not told. She had a feeling that Joseph would be very embarrassed to know that he had done her hair.

And her decision proved correct as the three ran into Joseph and his friends while Helen was still pestering Aria about who had done her hair.

She even ventured to ask Joseph, who got very red in the face upon hearing the question and stuttered.

Aria finally said goodbye to Jacob and Helen at the foot of the East tower. Helen, still grumbling, was led to her room by Jacob, seeming a little flustered.

Aria chuckled as she headed towards the North tower. These two definitely had chemistry. They just did not realise it themselves.

"Hey. Wanna fight?" A voice stopped Aria as she crossed the entrance hall.

She turned around with a tired smile, "Maybe later. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep in the middle of the fight."

Joseph chuckled as he said goodbye to his friends and walked upto her, "Going back to the room?"

Aria nodded and the two began to walk together.

At the foor of the North tower, Aria, being too tired from the lack of sleep and Joseph, wanting to spend as much time with her as possible, decided to walk.

Aria was surprised at how long the climb from the foor of the tower to their rooms was. It seemed to go on forever.

Aria was glad she could bend wind, or goodness knows how she would go up and down the tower everyday.

Finally, the two came in view of Joseph's door, and soon, Aria's too. But at the sight of her door, both of them stopped dead.

Harper was sitting leaning on Aria's door, hugging her knees. She seemed to be waiting for Aria.

Aria stared open eyed at Harper. What did she want now? Wasn't the yelling she did in the morning enough? Or was she here to yell about the note? Aria wondered as Joseph walked forward and stood towering above Harper.

"What do you want?" He said in a cold voice, before Aria had reacted.

Harper stood up and said, "I'm here to talk to Aria."

Joseph crossed his arms, "Here to shout some more? I suggest you go back."

Harper let out a mocking smile and looked over Joseph's shoulder at Aria. "Oh look....."

She began, but Aria cut in, "If you dare to say knight in shining armour or damsel in distress one more time. I swear I'm gonna punch you."

Seeing Harper's smile widen, Aria also crossed her arms, "You don't believe me? Okay then. Try."

Harper looked from Joseph to Aria. She really believed that Aria was a pushover and wouldn't do anything. What she was worried about, was Joseph.

Aria walked and pulled Joseph away, "He will not do anything. I can assure you."

Joseph looked down at Aria beside him and smiled. He liked this Aria. The one that did not always have to be kind.

Harper said, "Are you dropping the damsel....."
