Andria’s POV
Damon was too forward with that question, "Aria... rember what Liara said? About you... not having an identity?"
Luckily for , Allison burst into the locker room and saved the day.
A loud knock on my door brought out of my thoughts.
"Who are you? And what do you want? It’s too early to be banging on my door," I called.
"It’s us, Aria, you got to calm down a little," l and Becca chorused.
A slight smile grazed my lips.
"Co on in," I said, and they pushed the door open and walked in, holding hands together like sophomore year kids.
"What’s with the sudden attitude and need to see this early?" I asked, looking at them suspiciously.
"Well, the last ti we started a discussion without you, you were very pissed off, and you looked like you were about to tear us limb from limb," Becca said, twisting her mouth from side to side.
"And so this ti around, we decided we knocked on your door, no matter the ti to involve you, so you wouldn’t be pissed off again," l added, rolling her eyes dramatically.
"Co off it, guys, I wasn’t so pissed off that day. Was I?"
They exchanged looks and laughed out loud.
"You were actually boiling. I could see steam co off your head, Aria. I’ve never been so terrified," Becca humored.
I burst into laughter. "Becca...you are good, I an, see how you exaggerated the whole scene."
"It’s not like you were so pissed off, Ari, but we could tell you weren’t comfortable, so this was the only way to redeem ourselves, and not make the sa mistake," l said in an unusual, calm and soft tone that felt a bit off.
"l, what’s going on? You sound very angelic this morning. What do you want?" I asked her suspiciously, squinting my eyes a little.
"Nothing much, I just ca to talk about the ga night, since it will be nice if we had the ga night tonight, to cool off the tension surrounding Ashwood recently," l blurted nervously.
I studied her gesture and shrugged. Maybe she was deeply touched by everything I had told her yesterday.
"So?" I asked.
"The guest list is small, and we need to spice it up, a little bit of drama..."l started.
"Where is this leading to?" I asked.
I already knew l was hell-bent on watching a dramatic scene and would love to invite Alexa and Tricia, as if the fire lit by Tracy’s sister wasn’t enough, and now she wants another scene with her friends.
"Calm down, Ari, you are too forward, I’m just making suggestions," she said, "I brought it up with Becca..."
"And I declined, but you decided that we go et Ari, isn’t it?" Becca interrupted l.
"Ok, spill already, and stop beating around the bush," I said, staring at l intensely.
She seed very uncomfortable under my gaze, and she shifted a little.
"I wanted to add Alexa and Tricia back on the list. Listen, Aria, nothing can ever go wrong, or are you scared? We are the ones hosting it, and the Alpha successors are going to be around in case of any problem," she suggested, squinting her eyes a little, pleadingly.
But that’s the problem, I didn’t want the Alpha successors and Alexa or Tricia in the sa room on that ga night. It’s either the Alpha successors or Tricia and Alexa.
But then, I could change the outco, even with Alexa and Tricia on the list.
There was silence between us for a while, until I broke it.
"They can be added to the guest list..." I saw l’s face light up in surprise.
"On one condition."
Her excitent gradually faded. "What’s the condition?" She asked, her voice sounding a little bit anxious.
"You wouldn’t be the ga master, Becca will," I said, my voice firm and final.
"Why is that? Is there any problem with being the ga master? Ari, what’s wrong? Is this still about your rivalry with Alexa and Tricia?"l asked nervously and was surprised.
"I just feel Becca would do a great job as a ga master. Let’s spice things up a little and bring Becca to the spotlight," I answered.
"But Becca has no experience in hosting events...no offense, Becca," she said, looking towards Becca.
"None taken," Becca replied, but from the look on her face, I could tell she took offense to what l just said.
l continued, "I have experienced hosting an event, you can attest to it, ’the kissing booth’ wasn’t a failure."
"There is always a first ti for everyone; besides, I’m here, and you are also here to help her out," I suggested, ignoring how uncomfortable she felt with the idea.
l has been off for a while, especially after ’the kissing booth’ event; she has been a little more boisterous and secretive.
She talks a lot without saying anything.
She looked over to Becca, "Do you think that you can be the ga master, you know..."
"Stop it already. Why are you doing what you are doing now?" I interrupted her.
"What am I doing?" she asked, feigning ignorance.
"You are trying to instigate her, showing your superiority..."
"It’s ok, l, Aria, I can do it, no need to fight over it. And l, thanks for underestimating ," Becca cut off, and then stood up to leave.
"Well, you heard her; she can handle the ga master role," I added.
I could tell l was uncomfortable and probably hiding sothing from . My dream from the previous night hasn’t left my mind.
The way l urged Tristan to kiss Alexa or drink that strange drink, all because of a ga night.
Sothing about it unsettled , and I’m not going to let that happen.
"I don’t know why you are off towards , especially with this ga night coming up. I just want us to have fun and forget about everything that has been going on in Ashwood for the past months," l said, standing up sluggishly.
"I want to have fun, but with Alexa and Tricia around, everything can go from fun to fight," I responded.
"And you don’t think that I can handle the situation?"
