Secret Santa! Aaron X Shealyn

Aaron took a seat on the floor near her roommates bed, not even wanting to be near it, but he felt odd if he sat next to her so close and on her own bed. "Oh no I have time. Classes are done for me." He lied as he placed his backpack next to him. "How long have you been attending Tidewater High?" he asked the age old question that he felt was an ice breaker.

Aaron made himself as comfy as possible on the ground, which was much more comfy than the ground in the juvie hall. Aaron nodded "Cool, I started just last semester," he said with a smile. He laughed "Yeah, I am pretty sure my side of the room looks like I haven't unpacked at all either. " He commented, knowing his roommate was probably upset about that. "I am not a Senior though." He said pointing this out, though he wasn't going to tell her his grade and real age. 'Could just lie' he thought to himself.

"Yeah, I mean I am sure when I have to move again my parents will give me the choice to either stay or go with them," Aaron said wondering at what time his dad will announce the next move and if he would decide to stay. "I haven't met a whole lot of people and so far my roommate and I are on okay terms. I feel like he knows more people here than I do so.." He said nodding his head as if she could listen to him continue in his head. "Cool," He sad, 'Of course, another girl in a higher grade than I' he thought thinking about Ciera and how she accepted him despite his age.

"Well, that stinks, you don't talk to your classmates?" Aaron asked shifting his weight again. He didn't talk to his classmates either, but he was a shy person who doodle most of the time. "Yeah, only one year is awesome." He said nodding wishing he was right there with her. "So, do you have any idea what you want to do?" He asked unzipping his backpack a little.

"Yeah, most alright have their friends and cliques and I kinda just sit off to the side," Aaron said reaching into his backpack and pulling out his sketch book. "Motorcycles are cool," He said flipping to a certain page with an actually motorcycle he had seen the other day. "I mean, I haven't driven one myself, but I have been on the so called 'Bitch seat'" he said adding air quotes around the words.

Aaron nodded "That I did, all by myself," He teased as he began flipping through the other pages, flipping past the page he drew of Ciera, "I hope to be an architect one day." He said but knew he might chicken out and join the army like his dad would like him to do.

"Uh sure, I promise there aren't any naked girls," Aaron said knowing there was another book just for that. "Yeah, I caught her at the fountain and just sketched her." He said a small smile spreading across his face. "She caught me, but was great and just continued to sit there for me." He added wondering what she was doing right now.

"Wha-a? Like her? She's a friend," Aaron said beginning to blush. "I mean, she was the first nice person to me." He added not mentioning the fun non-date they went on shortly after meeting. "I mean, a guy and a girl can be friends without... Falling for each other." He said trying to convince himself more than her.

Aaron didn't say anything at first, he was thinking about his feelings and if what she said was true, should he say anything to Ciera. "Well.." He said unsure of what to say after this.
