Xavier POV
I'm not sure which was worse, going back to school & not being able to sleep next to Nova every night, or listening to all the talk about the Spring formal that she was happily chiming in on so everyone knew her British Alpha boyfriend would be attending. Luckily Heather knew we were attending the dance as friends, and made sure to tell everyone who asked her who she was going with as much. It was all anyone talked about all the way up until the weekend of the formal and as much as I had been dreading it, I was happy that all the talk of it would stop once it finally happened.
Charles came that Friday evening, showing up as we sat outside at the picnic tables eating dinner, with a big bouquet of flowers for Nova. She giggled like a love sick school girl as she watched him walking across the courtyard with the Dean. I couldn't help but to roll my eyes. She and I both knew that it wasn't him that she wanted, and I kept reminding myself of that as I stood up to greet him.
