A Love Triangle

The final bell rings, as everyone including myself leaves class. I myself, went to the lockers to see if Aria was there. I want today to be the day that I finally get the chance to talk and try to make friends with her.

My name is Brad; a nineteen-year-old guy who goes to Canterlot high. I have red hair, green eyes, a black shirt with a skull on it, a tattoo on my right arm of a black heart, jeans with a hole on the left knee, and a scar on my chest, which I don't often show. I'm like the goth-kid that looks uncomfortable to hang around with, but I'm really a nice guy once you get to know me.

As I walk by the lockers, there she was ten lockers ahead. It was none other than Aria Blaze putting books into her locker. It's been half a year since she and her sisters came and she's been the eye-candy of my life. Since I laid eyes on her, I've been listening to a lot of rock that talks about a sexy woman or something that deals with romance. She has beautiful eyes that say she doesn't give shit, rock-and-roll-like clothing, and an awesome singing voice. Seriously, she and her sisters can sing that can somehow bring the bad outta me and makes me want to do something illegal. These sisters are strange, but I really like Aria of the three. Speaking of, where are the other two sisters? Usually, they are always together.

I walk up to her and stop two lockers away to give her space.

"How's it going?" I asked, as Aria closes her locker and looks over to me. "Better at home than this dump. What do you think?"

"Well, you are right about this place being a dump," she said, as she zips up her backpack and tosses it on her back. "As for how I'm doing, I feel like I'm gonna beat the hell outta someone to let all this stress out. So, don't go bothering me, dude. Go away and don't bother me any further."

"Sorry for bugging you, Aria," I said, as I extended my hand to her. "The name's Brad and I also like to know if you like rock music?"

"I do, but I'll tell you never," she said, as she slaps my hands away and walks past me. "See you around."

She disappears into the crowd of students, s they all leave the school, leaving me standing in the hallway all alone.

"I think I should just give up on trying," I said, as I grab my hand that stings. "There's no way I can make her like me."

I give out a sigh of defeat and walked towards the school entrance. My steps echo through the halls, until I exited the building and stared ahead to see no student outside the school with a cold breeze blowing onto my hands and face. I stuck my hands into my pockets, as I walk down the stairs and pressed onward to the left, but was stopped by the sound of soft and soothing singing coming from behind me. I turn around and towards the side of the stairs is one of Aria's sisters, Adagio Dazzle. From rumors of what I know, she is the elder sister of the three. She makes the rules and is sing leader. Unlike her sisters, I'd say that she has the craziest hair-style. Her hairy is poofy for a girl like her, but she does have a killer voice when singing.

Adagio walks up towards me with a sway of her hips, as though she were trying to seduce me... or is she?

"Hey there, Bradley," she said, as I turn around. "Are you busy? Gonna listen to some rock music at home?"

"Not really, Adagio," I said, scratching the left side of my head. "I'm just gonna go home and do some homework for English."

"Why the sad tone?" she asks.

"It's nothing. Just some complications."

"How about I get you a coffee? Or a soda? Water?"

"I'd love a coffee," I said with a faint smile.

"There you go," she said, poking my nose. "Follow me. I'll drive us there. Aria will be walking home, which is about fifteen minutes from here and Sonata has a late shift at Taco Bell. I don't have work today, so I wanted to see you instead of doing staying at home doing homework."

"I don't mind skipping a day of homework. My parents are gonna be gone the whole week and my house is so quiet."

"Where'd they go?" asked Adagio, as the two of us walk into the student parking lot.

"They went on a business trip to New York."

"Oh?"

"They sure are lucky. I've only been into New York once when I was six and I remember the museum over there and being on the empire state building."

"You've been on that building?"

"I felt like the luckiest kid in the world."

"That's cute."

Adagio pulls out her keys from her pocket and presses a button, making a car two cars down make two beeps. It was a black car with three creatures that look like horse-like mermaids. The upper-half looked like a horse with scales and the lower part was that of a fish. I have never seen creatures like that, but it's pretty cool actually.

"What are those things on your car, Adagio?" I asked, as I walk over to the other side of the car.

Once we got in, I toss my backpack in, with Adagio doing the same.

"Those things are called sirens," she said, as the two of us closer doors. "Amazing creatures and they have quite a tale."

"They do?"

"Those creatures have such voices that made everyone hate one another to make their voices stronger," she said, as she turns on the vehicle. "They caused quite some mayhem and enjoyed themselves, until a wizard sent them to another world and are never seen again. They lived however and live among the residents and started their new lives as though they were part of society, but deep down, they are the same sirens."

"Sounds... kinda sad," I said, as Adagio pulls out of the parking space and out of the parking lot.

"It wasn't all that bad," she continued. "They lived among the alien creatures and have a happy life, yet, they still miss their home and can never go back."

A tear goes down Adagio's cheek, making me wonder why she would cry about a fairy tale.

"I'm sorry," she said with a sniffle. "That story makes me cry every time."

"I feel bad for the sirens," I said. "If only they could go back."

"If only," said Adagio, as she makes a left turn.

"Did the sirens live a happy life in the new world?"

"They did and that's that."

As we stop at a stoplight, Adagio wipes away the tear. I sit there quietly, not knowing what else to say, but I had to keep the conversation going.

"Poor sirens," I said.

She looks towards me and smiles. She places a hand on my shoulder and pats it.

"You are quite a nice guy than I thought," she said before putting her hand back on the wheel.

"I really am once you get to know me."

The light goes green, allowing Adagio to press on towards our destination.

The coffee shop felt quiet, as there very little of people in there. Outside however, still seems to be busy with drivers driving past the place and further into town. I sit down at a booth, until Adagio comes back holding two drinks.

"Here you go," she said, as she hands me my drink. "A decaf mocha."

"Thanks, Adagio," I said. "Why are you so kinder than usual today?"

"I like to be nice with you," she said, as she sits beside me. "You're the first guy to ever talk to me this much."

"Just me?" I asked before taking a sip of my coffee, but brought it away from my lips to feel my tongue burning. "Mph!"

"What's wrong?" she asked, as she puts her drink down.

"I burnt my tongue," I said, covering my mouth until the pain subsides.

"Poor baby," she said with a giggle. "You going to be okay?"

"I will be."

I move my hands away from my mouth, as Adagio continue giving me that friendly smile of hers.

"Can I ask you something, Brad?"

"Go ahead."

"Do you like my sister, Aria?"

"I... uh... Yes, I do."

"I've notice you looking at her a lot and I even saw you today trying to talk to her for the first time. Let me guess, she gave you the cold shoulder?"

"She did. she says she's stressed out today, so it was a bad time to even say anything to her. Can't talk to a girl when she's pissy, but I like that in a girl. She may be cold on the outside, but she may be a softie on the inside."

"Huh. I never thought of her that way. If I were her, I would totally talk to you about whatever you wanted to talk about with her."

"I asked her how her day was and what kind of music she likes."

"I can tell you that she likes classic rock and for a while now, she's been listening to Money for Nothing a lot."

"She likes that song? Wow! That's something we have in common."

"You like that song too?"

"Been listening that song since I was thirteen."

"Judging by your looks, I can tell you like that kind of stuff too."

"I do and I listen to some heavy metal like Super Charger Haven."

"Perhaps you can show us some of your music collection. Also, do you like... me too?"

"Huh? Well, you are being quite nice to me lately and I can say that I like you as a friend."

"Why not a girlfriend? If I was your gal, I would kiss you every day."

"What?" I said, drawing a blank.

She closes her eyes before planting her lips onto my lips, making me give her a light push.

"Whoa! Adagio! What the?!" I said with surprise.

"Brad," she said, as a blush shows up on her cheeks. "I have a crush on you. I too was nervous to talk to you and now we're talking because of my bravery."

"Well, I already told you that I liked Aria. You can't make me like both of you."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as though an idea popped into her mind. She looks at me with a sultry smirk and brings an arm around my neck, bringing me closer to her.

"I have an idea of making things good for the three of us," she whispered into my ear. "It'll be quite an adventure, like when my sisters and I went further into the ocean waters for the first time."

"What are you saying exactly?" I asked, curious to know.

"A three-way."
