"I'm helping her realize her feelings. I'm tired of listening to her nonsense about Kyle." That is one of Josh's reasons for sending Nathalia to go after Aaron. He is tired of listening to Nathalia's mouth.
Every time they talk about the twins, the first name that comes out of her mouth is Aaron's name. Before it was all about Anna, now, it's all about how annoying Aaron is, how Aaron can easily attract other ladies and all sorts of topics that Nathalia could say about Aaron.
To those who are close to Nathalia, can tell that she thinks of Aaron more than just a friend. She doesn't even realize it herself, and that is what annoys Josh because he has to watch and hear everything from Nathalia.
"That is true, but don't you think that Nathalia should figure it out herself without anyone's help?" Zen said in a concerned tone. He is also tired of listening to Nathalia talking about Aaron, but he won't interfere or help Nathalia because he thinks that it would be better if Nathalia does it herself.
"Zen, at some point, you are right, but Nathalia is going to take her forever to realize things out herself. The early she realizes the better, and I also will also help my brother." Aaron is also the same as Nathalia, they both are blind to what they really feel for each other.
The only difference is that Aaron doesn't talk about Nathalia that much, but his actions are enough to say that he sees Nathalia more than just a friend.
There was one time that Nathalia was talking to a guy and to one person's point of view, they see that Nathalia and the guy are too close to each other. And because of that closeness, Aaron came in between them, then started to annoy Nathalia.
If that action doesn't say what they think it is, then what is it?
"But…"
"No buts, Zen," Josh said cutting off Zen from speaking again. The words that are going to come out of his mouth are words that say that he is against their idea of helping Aaron and Nathalia.
"Fine," Zen said with a pout plastered on his face.

After being told that she should go after Aaron earlier, Nathalia runs around, asking students that she knows where Aaron is, and as soon as she saw him, she shouted. "Hey, Aaron!"
Hearing his name being called out loudly, Aaron turns around and saw Nathalia panting. 'Did she have to exhaust herself to follow me all the way here?' Aaron asked inwardly.
Worried that Nathalia might have forced herself to exhaustion, Aaron quickly went to her side and handed a water bottle that he bought not too long ago.
Accepting the water bottle, Nathalia drank almost half of it. "Goodness! Why do you have to walk that fast?" Nathalia asked ignoring that questioning looks that Aaron has on his face.
"Who told you to follow me here?" Slightly annoyed, Aaron asked her instead of answering her question.
"Uh… Josh and Anna told me to. They said that you needed someone to talk to right now." Knowing that Aaron needed someone to talk to, Nathalia is quite happy that they send her to follow him. She even questions herself why does she feel that way.
She shouldn't feel happy when the other person that she is facing right now is not happy with the situation that he is now. The situation that his father is back and wants to have a connection with him.
"I appreciate their thoughts, but why would they send you? I mean no offense, Nathalia, but you don't know what I'm feeling right now." He may sound harsh, but what he said is the truth. Nathalia has no idea what he feels right now. Nathalia has her father by her side and has never left like the way his father did.
So what can Nathalia say to comfort him?
"Aaron, it's true that I can't understand what you feel, but I am here to hear you out. And I'm sure that you need it." Nathalia is not upset by what Aaron just said to her because it is true that she has no idea what he feels about not having a father while growing up.
She may not be able to say comforting words to him, but she can hear out everything that he wants to say. That way, he will feel a little bit better.
Aaron didn't reply, he only stares at Nathalia's face. She looks so sincere and it's hard for him to reject her.
He's the type of person who dislikes sharing his feelings. If he opens up to others except for his family, then the wall that he built to protect himself will lose its purpose.
Aaron was about to reply back to her, but some pesky girl just went in between them, interrupting their conversation.
"Hmph! How shameless of you to force yourself to young master Aaron. Can't you see the expression he is making right now? He wants you away from his sight. Elizabeth was right. When you set your eyes on someone, you would anything to get its attention."
What the girl just said made Nathalia and Aaron speechless. They both stared at each for a second, then stared back at the girl with a questioning look on their faces.
Just by mentioning Elizabeth's name, they knew right away that Elizabeth is making Nathalia look bad to other students. And apparently, it's working since this dumb girl just went up to her said those words.
Also, Nathalia can tell that this girl has a crush on Aaron, and this girl probably thinks that if she stops Nathalia, then Aaron's attention will turn towards her. This kind of girl is quite common in Nathalia's eyes, she can see right through them in just a glance.
Nathalia doesn't pity them, she instead thinks that they are pathetic to immediately believe someone's word and use it against her. 'Do they think that they could get the man that they like by doing that? How pathetic can they get? And how low can you get Elizabeth?' Nathalia inwardly asked.
"Excuse you. Who do you think you are? Can't you see that Aaron and I are having a talk? If we're gonna point out who's shameless, then that's you. A no name girl like you dare to speak to me like that? Heh. How stupid of you." Nathalia spoke with an attitude, and that surprised Aaron. He didn't know that Nathalia has this kind of character inside her.
The girl was taken back when she heard Nathalia. She didn't expect Nathalia to speak like that.
"H-how arrogant of you!"
