Aaron at first had a proud smirk on his face at Piper's recognition of his reputation, which quickly shifted to one of shock when her words switched to a much more brutal context. He was completely confused as to how someone so cheery and enthusiastic could say something so violent. Aside from his facial expressions, he recoiled a bit away from her to give himself a bit of space on the seat, intent on sitting beside her for the duration for the bus ride.Entarriance said:"Haha, Mimi seems fun!!"
Tottering back and forth on her heels, before returning to her seat. Before she managed to reach it, she caught onto the news that a group had gone missing in the woods. Lost? Oh, wouldn't that be cool if we got lost too? Just like back at home! Oh, but that means we can't go the museum... but that means it's like an adventure, right?! Without voicing her thoughts, numerous thoughts ran through her head, placing her chin in the grasp of her index finger and her thumb, as if in thought. Was it supposed to be good or bad that the group got lost. With the teacher's insistence, Piper excitedly leaped out of her seat, shuffling her feet over to the bus, finding a window seat near but not exactly the back. If she was going to sit alone again, might as well daydream while she could!
A tall, lean but slim figure would push his way through the door, forcing himself to the seat near Piper. As her eyes seem to light up in curiosity, she nonchalantly grabbed his hand, shaking it up and down, despite having been classmates for nearly a month. Then again, the thing about this class is nearly no one talked to each other, so while people knew each other's names (to some extent), no one actually knew each other in the slightest.
"Hi!! Hi, wow, no one sits next to Piper most of the time, haha, I wonder why. Nice to meet yo- oh, wait, we've been classmates for a while, hmhmhm..."
Letting go of his hand, she simply leaned forward to squint at his face, her lips pouting as she did so. Seemingly oblivious to his ulterior motives, her expression was completely blank, rid of emotion, as if trying to stare through him.
"... you have really green eyes, they're super pretty! You're Aaron, right? That super cool athlete I hear people talk about? Wowow, that means you must be super strong, do you have any cool stories? Or you won't even do that, you diaphoretic repugnant excuse of an individual. Do you pry on the candid and forthright as a source of perverse entertainment? To raise an ego so much that I could simply jump off of it, and kill myself on your IQ? Deplorable."
In the middle of a childishly enthusiastic statement, despite her energetic, light-hearted demeanor, leaning back to her seat, a shadow would fall across her face, twisting it to a much more somber and belittling expression. Quickly contrasting the curious shiny in her eyes, an inhospitably frigid gaze would jab itself at Aaron's, a sharp grimace over her face.
The shadow would quickly leave her face, and a childish glow would return to her eyes, happily clapping her hands together as she kept a much less colder glare on Aaron. As if the transition didn't happen, she seemed to jump a little, as if an idea had struck her, before almost violently shoving her hands in the pocketes inside of her jacket. Pulling out one of the few candies that she constantly kept with her, in this case it was a caramel, she innocently held it out to the boy.
"Oh, oh, oh, but since you're an athlete, you gotta have some cool athlete stories! Have you fought with people behind the school?! Ooh, what about in the school, that's even more dangerous! I could never make it to the school games, but I heard lot'sa people talk about The Almighty Aaron!!"
Crossing the arm that wasn't holding out a caramel to him, she puffed out her chest confidently with the statement, sharply exhaling from her nose with a "hmf!", which doesn't seem like something that should help Aaron's ego, even with her sharp remark earlier. Considering how she's used to most people ignoring her, not like she particularily minded, she definitely wanted to get her own thoughts out before she was left alone again. Why he decided to sit next to her instead of someone probably much more welcoming to his presence, maybe it was even better to sit next to someone much more reserved and shy than someone like herself.

"Eh, I guess you seem to take personal space to the extremes. How's the defect's corner in the back of the bus, brat? Personal space enough for you yet?" Aaron had hardly reacted to the gumball striking the back of his skull, the only noticeable reaction Zane received was him tilting his head forwards lightly from the force. Aaron had his head turned slightly upward, as if doing so would project his voice to the back any better than it would facing the floor or in the complete opposite direction.Otakubeats said:Zane watched with disgust as Aaron gave Piper basically no choice in how she was treated. Okay, sure he wasn't social. But he was taught to respect people's space. So Zane being the idiot he was, pulled out a gumball and shot it like a marble to the back of Aaron's head. After it hit he would speak. "Didn't anyone teach you to keep your hands to yourself? Oh sorry I forgot. The only thing you learned as a kid was how to be a player." His voice was cruel and mocking. Zane glared at Aaron, daring him to say anything back. His quiet nature tended to scare people when he got angry. It was a rare occurrence for his classmates to see this side. Usually he was silent and in his thoughts.

"Just don't make move on people with standards." He rolled his eyes and sat back down. Aaron was a self-arrogant tool. It was amazing that no one had stabbed him yet. He turned on some music, and sat in his seat. The battleground sounded interesting. So, he pulled out a small game system, and started to play it. At least it would keep Aaron off his mind. Didn't that kid no that nobody liked him? The good thing about being that quiet kid, is hearing everything.AceOfSpades0210 said:"Eh, I guess you seem to take personal space to the extremes.

Aaron knew better than to act up right in front of the teacher, and before they had even left the school yet. The most he could do was argue back, at least until he managed to irritate Zane enough where the teacher would have to scold him. Aaron could blame it all on Zane's attitude, since Aaron made no physical retaliations to the other male's advances.
Speaking of the teacher, it reminded Aaron of the slip of paper handed to him when he made his way onto the bus. Like the teacher's words, it was garbage in Aaron's mind. He would fill it out when absolutely necessary, or if it would make the teacher's nagging shut up when he came to collect the blank sheet.
