It's been almost a month since Arielle Thomasville transferred to the college. What could've been a hard adjustment without some help, Julian made sure that Aria's first couple of days here at university went smoothly. Whether it be waking up really early at 6:30 just to drive over and pick his sister up to walking her to class, it didn't matter. And in your own attempts at trying to make your best friend's sister comfortable, you offered to be the songbird's tour guide. After all, the campus was just as overwhelmingly huge on the inside as it was on the outside─ plus it was guaranteed that Aria's tiny self was sure to get lost.

Given that Aria didn't really have any friends here on campus, Julian brought his sister everywhere with him. Meaning that wherever he went, she went─ including hanging out with the guys every once in a while whenever she wasn't busy. Throughout these rare occasions, you and Aria found yourselves getting closer and closer by the second. Under her shy shell, she truly was just a little female version of her brother. Just as lively, just as stubborn─ just as having that same damn smile.

Who would've thought that in just a span of twenty-eight days, you'd find yourself feeling something you hadn't felt in years. Whenever you saw Aria looking in your direction, your whole body turned. Whenever you saw her writing away in that same little notebook she carries around filled with songs, you couldn't help but stare. And whenever she smiled─no, smiled at you, your heart leaped out of your mouth..

Fuck.

All of this could only mean one thing ─ and you were determined to make it all go away. So, what did you do? Skip school for a month of course! Well─ you made sure to write to the director at first, making up a story of there being some type of immediate family emergency and that you wouldn't be returning for a while. This would give you the perfect opportunity to do a lot of self-reflecting- and more importantly, get rid of this little.. crush. But of course, the universe had something else in store for you.

Although the friend was somewhat aware of where you were, Aria was the only one left in the dark. With that being said, it wasn't long before she begged─ well, practically harassed Julian to tell her what was going on. While he didn't speak on why you left given he had no idea himself, he did put the thought in her head that you were going through a rough time. Upon hearing this, Aria could feel her heart and soul dissolve into ash. What could've possibly happened to make you disappear like this? Despite how incredibly rude it was, the blonde was disturbed to put that goofy smile back on your face.

And so here she was. The moment you opened the door after sixteen loud bangs, Aria immediately let herself in without saying a word to you and two bags in hand; one filled with clothes, the other with groceries. You were quite literally too stunned to speak at that given moment, so all you could do was watch as the blonde made herself home in your living room and began to cook what smelled like Mexican Tamales.

SO YOU..?
