STRONG GIRL AND DRACULA PRINCE'S.
THE WOUNDED HEART.

Alicia went through her first semester of college happily, every Friday, the night Gwen, Aaron and Josh would pick her up, they spent time together, the togetherness made Josh start to notice her, he said, at the same time Alicia always tries to avoid Josh for fear of hurting Gwen's feelings, until one day. 

"Josh, hey buddy!" Aaron approaches Josh who is seen entering the campus gate, "I'll shoot Alicia later tonight!" when he was in front of Josh, Josh glanced at his sidekick. 

"Are you sure of your own feelings?! Do you not fall in love often? I don't want you to hurt Alicia," 

"I'm sure one hundred percent! It's the first time I've really liked a girl, let alone Alicia being so pretty!" 

"Every time you like a girl you always say that girl is very pretty," 

"But this is different! Alicia has a sexy Latin face, that smile! Have you ever noticed when Alicia smiled? Her face was truly angelic, looking so innocent, right now how many girls still held innocence within her?" Josh stopped his steps when he heard his best friend's words. 

"Please promise me one thing! If Alicia accepts you, never hurt her!" josh said coldly, Aaron nodded. 

"Calm down! I'll take good care of him" Aaron patted his best friend's shoulder, "Then what do you think Gwen is?" Aaron chases after Josh who has stepped back. 

"I'm sorry, I just consider him a friend!" josh replied as he entered the classroom, at the same time Gwen who wanted to approach Josh from behind heard his words, Alicia who had been sitting in the classroom saw Gwen who entered the classroom with a sad face, and she was very sad, Alicia approached her best friend. 

"Gwen what's going on?" the worried question was, Gwen shook her head slowly as she stepped onto the chair, "Why does Gwen look so sad?" alicia's heart was confused, "Gwen??" 

"I'm fine," Gwen tried to smile at her best friend, Alicia sitting next to Gwen who had been sitting in her chair, occasionally glancing at her listless-looking best friend. 

"What happened to her? Gwen was always cheerful every day, seeing her like this really made me uneasy," 

"Alicia, sorry.. I can't pick you up later tonight! I want to stay home today!" 

"It's okay, after all, later tonight I want to spend time studying," Alicia smiled at her best friend, while in the back seat Aaron looked at Alicia with a smile. 

"Your face looks stupid right now!" whispered Josh. 

"I don't care about you, your words can't hurt me," 

"Why can I have a stupid friend like you!" Aaron turned his face to hear the words of his best friend. 

"Are you angry with me? Or jealous of my happiness?" ask Aaron annoyed. 

"The look on your face made me really want to kick you out of class," 

"Hey buddy, come on.. What the hell happened to you? Why suddenly vent your anger at me?! What have I done to make you like this?!" 

"Aaron, how long do you think we've been friends?" Josh looked at his best friend. 

"A few years, what's wrong?" 

"The past few years, you've been forcing me to look at this stupid face of yours whenever you like a girl" Josh protested. 

"Hey friend, I'm so handsome! Which part of my face looks like a fool?" Aaron chuckled, "After I tell him my feelings, then this face will not look like this anymore!" 

"Hopefully so, your flirtatiousness embarrassed me as your best friend!" josh said coldly, "Why is it so easy to fall in love? While I've only liked a girl since first grade elementary school?" Josh glanced at Aaron who was still watching Alicia with a happy face.

"What's the matter, mom?" tanyanya politely. 

"Alicia, Aaron is waiting for you right now in the living room" Checille told his daughter. 

"Aaron? Did he come with Josh?" 

"No, he's alone at the moment, Aaron has asked mom for permission to take you for a walk, seeing his face at the moment it looks like he wants to say something" Checille whispered to his daughter with a smile, "Go then! Meet him, don't make him wait long!" 

"Yes mother," Alicia stepped out of her room, in the living room Aaron seemed to occasionally tidy up the shirt she was wearing, "Aaron, what's wrong?" alicia asked when she reached the living room, Aaron stood up quickly when he saw Alicia had been in front of him. 

"I.. I want to take you for a walk for a while, there's something I want to tell you" said Aaron awkwardly. 

"But I'm studying right now," 

"A moment," Aaron said, Alicia nodded in the end.

"What if I walk around my house?" 

"Good idea," Aaron smiled, Alicia invited Aaron to leave his house, on foot along the compound of his house that looks quiet that night, "Your house is located in a quiet place," said Aaron opened the conversation, Alicia smile. 

"Thank you, oh yeah, what's the matter today taking me out? Where is Josh? Aren't you and Josh together all the time?" 

"I'm not his wife, how could I possibly know of his whereabouts at all times?" joking Aaron, Alicia chuckled at that. 

"But hasn't your friendship with Josh been around long enough? I mean it's really nice to see your friendship with her," 

"I also thought like that, because for too long and never seen her have a boyfriend, I had the chance to think that Josh would marry me one day" Aaron whispered, Alicia laughed amusedly. 

"Why not be with him now?" Alicia glanced at Aaron who was beside her. 

"That's because I want to say something personal to you!" Aaron stopped in his tracks, "Alicia, I.. I like you!" suddenly, Alicia looked surprised as Aaron expressed his feelings. 

"Aaron, i.. I'm.." Alicia looks awkward to answer that, Aaron grabs Alicia's hand and grasps it. 

"If you can't answer it now I understand, I can wait for you until you're ready to answer it, calm down! I'm a patient man" whispered Aaron. 

"Not so," Alicia pulled her hand slowly, "I know what I'm feeling, and I can answer it right now, sorry Aaron I just think of you as a friend," 

"Hey, can't you give me a little hope by saying you'll think about it first?" 

"I know, you might be disappointed by my answer, but this is better than having to get to know me more deeply, there's something that makes me avoid having a relationship right now," 

"What if you tell me? Maybe I can give you the courage to start a relationship" Aaron suggested, Alicia shook her head slowly. 

"A relationship? How can I have it? Even this has led me to be shunned by my friends when I was a child, even for 11 years I lived without having a friend, only being able to attend a minority school," Alicia looked down sadly, "I don't want that to happen again! Having you, Gwen and Josh as my friends I'm so happy," 

"Allen?" Aaron looked at the girl's face which looked very sad before him, "Hey, Alicia.. If you can't calm down now, I'll be waiting for you anyway, I'm also very happy to be your friend" Aaron whispered, Alicia raised her face, looking at the face before him who was smiling sincerely at him. 

"Aaron, thank you," he said.
