Chapter 13 : What a great scene we make

*****************************

I can't believe I did this.

I should just throw it away.

Or eat it myself.

Why do I get myself in these shitty situations?

Why am I so sensitive?

And, why do I always overthink?

Like I swear to god, the moment I stepped in the house yesterday, all I thought about was the damn pasta that was wasted.

My mind looked a little something like this:

-What if Aaron was starving and I just so heartlessly wasted his food for my own pleasure?

-What did that pasta ever do to end up on Aaron's hair?

-I'm really hungry.

-What will my mom say once she finds out I ruined the white hoodie she washed the day before yesterday?

-What will be Aaron's revenge?

-Why did I do this to myself?

-I'm sooo hungry.

And the only solution I thought of was making it up to Aaron.

I mean, I feel slightly guilty for him.

He was going to eat his pasta in peace till I ruined it.

His mom spent time cooking that pasta and I ruined it.

What if they don't have enough money and the only time they did, Aaron didn't get to enjoy it because of me?

Yep. That's it. That's how I ended up making a half burned, half edible pasta for Aaron.

That Youtube tutorial was shit, let me tell you.

How did the guy cook it so perfectly? How did he add the right amounts of everything?

I added way too much salt, and way too little cheese.

I might have eaten all the cheese along the way.

Point is, the pasta is in a plastic container in my bag and I still haven't shown it to Aaron.

"Tell them Ethan, why won't you tell them about the time you were fifteen and peed your pants?" Nathan asked Ethan, teasing him.

"He what?" Rose said, already laughing.

"Shut up Nathan." Ethan said, looking down.

"Oh come on Ethan, just tell the girls." Aaron said, smirking at Ethan.

Atleast now I know he smirks at other people too.

Ethan sighed, "I needed to pee really badly before I went to bed, but I was already in bed and it was cold and I didn't wanna get up so I might've fallen asleep without peeing...."

"Keep going." Laurel said, trying to surpress her laugh.

"Guys, leave the poor kid alone." I said, poking Ethan's cheek who's sitting right next to me, on my left.

"Stop calling me a kid." Ethan whined.

His face was red from embarrassment.

Poor Ethan, we're all so mean.

"Look, I woke up with a pool on my sheets, it's okay, it happens." Ethan said crossing his arms, signalling the end of the story.

But we all just continued laughing.

Rose had tears in her eyes from laughing too hard.

I was clutching my stomach that was beginning to hurt because of how hard I was laughing.

Steve was hitting the table and clapping his hands while laughing. I don't get it.

Laurel basically laughs like a seal.

And Aaron is just chuckling. Bitch doesn't see humor in things.

Nathan is just staring at us boringly, waiting for us to finish. Joey as well.

Ethan is just pouting.

What a great scene we make.

After everyone settled down, I decided to finally have the courage to pull out the damn pasta and give it to Aaron.

I mean, why should I be afraid? It's not like he'll make fun of me or anything...

I pulled out the container, finally, and slid it past Ethan, to Aaron.

"I made you some pasta instead of the one I wasted yesterday." I said, smiling awkwardly.

Aaron just looked at me in surprise.

I continued, "I burned like half of it, but I swear the rest can be eaten, or you can just throw it away, I don't know, I did what I had to do, You know the Youtube video was total bullshit, can you believe he used different bowls for every ingredient, like who the hell washes that many dishes? Anyways, sorry for yester-"

"Ellie, shut up." Aaron said.

"Excuse me." I replied, offended.

"Let me speak." Aaron said as he took the lid off the container.

"Okay..." I said, pulling my eyebrows together, mocking offense.

"Even though you're a piece of shit who goes around stealing food-" Aaron began but I cut him off.

"When did I ever steal food?" I exasperated, crossing my arms.

"You stole my French fries last week, I saw you eating one of them every time I turned my head away." Ethan said, pointing his finger at me.

"Well... that doesn't count." I mumbled.

"Thank you Ethan." Aaron said to Ethan and then looked at me. "Now, let me finish."

I sighed and motioned for Aaron to continue.

"You didn't have to make this, seriously Oreo, we were all just joking around, I didn't get upset." Aaron said, looking at me.

"I know, I just felt kind of bad.." I said, looking embarrassed.

"My stupid friend." Rose sighed, side hugging me, from my right.

I just pouted.

"Look Aaron, you either take this pasta right now or I'm going to flip shit." I said bluntly, while shrugging.

"Jesus, she was a kind person just two seconds ago." Laurel said, acting confused.

I narrowed my eyes at Laurel. "Well, I worked hard for that pasta because I definitely can't cook to save my life."

"Thank you, Oreo." Aaron said taking a bite out of the pasta with the same plastic fork he used for whatever else he's been eating.

"Is it good?" I asked nervously.

I think Aaron was about to throw up.

His face definitely didn't scream 'I like this'.

In fact, he kind of choked at the beginning but then said "It's really good, thank you." As he gulped down his entire water bottle.

"Ughhhh," I whined, slamming my head on the table "Is it that bad?"

"No, I told you, it's good." Aaron lied to my face.

I lifted my head up just as Ethan took a bite.

He looked at me after two seconds and then said, "It is that bad."

I just nodded at Ethan.

"So uhhh.... Steve why don't you give it a try?" I asked.

If neither Aaron nor Ethan liked the pasta and won't eat it, then I need someone else to eat it because I don't wanna throw it away.

"No I'm full, next time though." Steve said, shrugging.

"Laurel." I said smiling innocently at her.

"Don't look at me." Laurel said.

"Nathan, sweetie-"

"I don't feel good, I think I shouldn't eat anything for the next couple of days." Nathan said, clearly lying to my face.

"Rose-"

"Do I even know you?" Rose asked, looking around.

"Okay." I said, getting irritated.

Lunch went by like that.

And then the bell rang, and I accidentally locked eyes with Aaron and he was smiling at me as he mouthed 'finished' referring to the pasta.

Sure enough, that container was empty.

But my heart was full.

A/N

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ANYONE CELEBRATING.

Question : Can you cook?

I tried making a chocolate cake for the first time ever and I didn't add enough amount of baking powder so when I took it out of the oven, the cake looked like a hole. If you know what I mean. Baking, nope.

I also tried making cheese fries, my friend taught me and shit. Lets just say, I burned it.

I tried pancakes once, Uhh yeah, never again.

So I cant cook.

Anyways, what do y'all think of the story so far?

Lately I've been getting such positive feedback and it makes my day.

Thank you to everyone supporting me, you push me to continue and do what I love, even though there is only a few of you, but I can't thank you enough.

Have a Merry Christmas babes, I love you.
