"I'm not sulking," I declared.
"You are definitely sulking," Macie said. "guys?" she turned to Jake and Jane.
"He is sulking," they said at the same time.
I went back to my car with a heavy heart. She said no. Bella Davis was actually rejecting me! The same girl who had been crazy about me. Who shoved all those love letters in my hands. Did my words affect her this much?I should just forget about her. This was a blessing. She was gone.No...
I dragged her inside an empty room and slammed the door shut."Aaron! What...""Why are you doing this?" I demanded to know."Doing what?" she asked. Her eyes were big with surprise.
Bella's POV.He used to say my freckles were like sprinkles of sunshine, and I shouldn't be self-conscious about them. So I wasn't. I took everything he told me to my heart. He was my biggest supporter. My best friend.Elijah.

"You'll have to come out eventually," I laughed. I felt bad for teasing Bella so much, but it can't be helped."Nope. I live here now," she said."Stop being silly. Just come out, and I'll take you home," I said.
Bella's P.O.V.Ugh! Why is he doing this to me? He had ignored me for years and called me annoying, and now he is teasing me and flirting with me. Who is annoying now?Stupid Aaron.If it had been in the past, I would've been happy to get h
