it was no secret that auriella and nadia didn’t care for each other . granted , auriella never really thought about the girl nor did she ever care about the reason why nadia disliked her , but that was neither here nor there . auriella attending the formal with rowan must have ruffled some feathers , though , and despite the fact that the two attended as nothing more than friends , auriella wasn’t going to lie and say that she didn’t purposefully rub it in nadia’s face . call her petty , but it’s what she did best . with her curls piled on top of her head and dressed in a massively oversized shirt ( that definitely wasn’t her own ) with a pair of nike bike shorts , a thin sheen of sweat covers auriella’s skin as she’s fresh from the gym when she spots an all too familiar head of blonde hair that she can’t help but want to bother . hexagon - shape framed ray - ban sunglasses are pulled from her face as she bounds over , a light grin on her bare features as she speaks . ‘ what a sight for sore eyes , ’ her tone is honeyed as the words drip from her brims . ‘ i forgot to mention it to you , but thank you so much for letting rowan go to the formal with me . i must admit , rooming with him was the best part . ’
