The Ugly One novel Chapter 3

"A.. Aaron, where are you taking me? " I asked. I was starting to panic.

"You are gonna help me clean this shit up," he said.

He dragged me inside a room, which I guessed was his room.

"Don't move," he commanded.

I looked at the door helplessly. Should I make a run for it?

He took his shirt off. I've only heard rumors about Morris brothers' hot bodies but now I was finally seeing it in person. As I stared at the hard chest and abs muscles I realized the rumors were all true. But instead of getting excited I was terrified. What was he planning to do here?

"Take your shirt off," he grinned.

"Wha...what?" No way, am I gonna get raped over a spilled beer? I started to panic again.

He threw a plaid shirt at me. "You spilled beer on yours. Put this one on instead.

Oh, he was just trying to help. Why did he have to act like that though? He must be nuts.

"Um...cou...could you turn around?" I said nervously.

"Oh yeah, sorry. Go to the bathroom and change," he said and pointed at his bathroom.

I quickly went inside and shut the door. My heart was pounding. Why am I so scared right now? Since he was always two classes ahead of me I didn't get to see him often. I just heard rumors. Both of the Morris brothers were notorious in our school. Aaron graduated last year so maybe he is not as bad anymore.

I put on the shirt which was way too big but at least it was dry and clean. I got out of the bathroom. Aaron was half lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. He looked at me as he heard me coming out of the bathroom.

"Thanks for the shirt, I'll go now," I said and started to head for the door.

"Wait!"

I halted.

"Stay for a minute. The party is kinda boring," he said.

True. It was kind of lame. Spilling beer on the former high school bad boy was the most interesting thing that happened so far. I sat down on the chair in front of him.

"You are one of the Brown sisters aren't you?" he asked.

"Yeah! I'm the ugly one!" I blurted out.

He looked startled. "You are what?"

"The ugly one. You know....because Liliana is so pretty?" I explained.

"I guess? Who said you were ugly?" he asked. His gaze was so intense I thought I'd melt to the floor.

"It doesn't matter, I was just joking anyway," I laughed nervously.

He got up and took my hand. Before I could say anything he pulled me toward the bed and sat me down next to him.

"How come I never seen you around here?" he asked.

"I don't go to parties. Besides, you are two classes ahead of me so..."

"Then why are you here?" he asked.
