Mira's P. O. V
I stared at Natalie wide eyed. I couldn't believe she could ask the question so outrightly. Even though it's the truth she could at least cut me some slack!" Of.. of course not!" I stuttered helplessly. " I'm just excited that's he back that's all!"" Cut me the crap Mari. I've seen the way you stare at him you went all googly eyed when he requested to seat at out table, not to mention how so you suddenly spoke up when he mentioned about my best friend Ariana which before then you had been sitting so quietly." She countered. I sucked my breath in. Natalie was right,she did notice everything. I breathed out and confessed." Okay fine. I do have a crush on him" I whispered. " But don't tell anyone okay? I don't like talking about it."Natalie stopped for a while, staring at and grinning at intervals.. then sat back and clapped her hands." Oh my gosh Mira! I can't believe it! You of all people! My oh my!"" I just said you should tonBab terkait

Natalie's P. O. V " What do youmean,Xander asked you out on a date? Are you seriously kidding me right now?" Mira asked, surprised. " See for yourself..." Isaid,showing her the paper. I watched as her expression changed from surprise to shock. " No way!.... Looks like the brothers are really taking this seriously?" I shrugged. " Maybe." I said as I opened up my locker to put my booksinit. " Soo....

Xander's P. O. VA smile tugged my lips on my way home. The date went well and am glad. And she wasn't as crazy as I expected her to be. She sure is a chameleon. She could almost make me forget Lucy, I said to myself. Parking my car at the garage, I got off the car and walked inside. I was about to go in my room when I saw Xavier sitting quietly on a chair staring into a picture frame. When he noticed he wasn't the only one in the room he looked up at me." Hey, where were you?" He asked, his voice sounded hoarse, as if he'd been crying. I hesitated a bit before replying." On a date?.... With Natalie." He looked at me, his expression blank before turning back to the picture. As if he knew what I wanted to ask he spoke up." Today's is mum remembrance. And you forgot. Everyone forgot." He slowly said.What the hell!! I checked the date on my phone and truly it was... What the hell was I thinking about??Natalie, my subconscious reminded." Even dad
THE GAME Chapter 19
Natalie's P. O. VI was gobsmacked. What the hell was Xavier doing in my house and how did he even get the address?? I stared at him for a while before speaking up." Um, Xavier, what are you doing here... And how did you get the address to my house?" I asked, still confused." Oh... I wanted to return this to you..." He said bringing out my lost ID card. " But I didn't see you in school so I asked the principal and he gave me the address to your house." He answered. Such smarty pants! I thought. Maggie was just standing there, watching the whole exchange."Well, thanks... But you can leave now." I said, going to him to collect my former ID." You sure? Because I got invited for dinner." He said. I stopped right in my tracks and glared at Maggie." What!?" I piped out. " Aww, come on Natalie. The guy over there is a gentleman. And that's the only way I could repay him for waiting so long for you. So why don't you go upstairs, change and come right

Natalie's P. O. VIt was physical education class, and Mira and I were out on the fields doing warm-up exercises. We jogged around the field while discussing." I'm so tired!" I complained while stifling a yawn. " When will this end?"" Tired? That's strange. What happened?" Mira asked while stretching." I barely slept last night, and it's getting to me now," I complained. " What were you doing up all night?" Mira asked." Nothing. Just couldn't get any sleep." I said. " Why don't we go get some water, I'm exhausted," I suggested. " Sure." We left the fields to a nearby stall to get some water while catching our breaths. Right that instant, the boys jogged past us. Since we were in separate classes, we don't get to see much of them in school except for lunch and P. E classes. I tried to ignore them, but Mira nudged at me and I looked in their direction.As if attuned by my presence, Xavier looked in my direction and our gazes met. I s

Xavier's P. O. V" Why? Are you stalking me?" Natalie asked me. I stared at her in surprise." Of course not! Why would I? It just so happens that I meet you here."" Really?""Absolutely," I answered." I don't believe you." She muttered as she turned to her drink and was gently slurping it. I was tempted to almost do the same. " Well, that's your problem," I muttered. I heard her scoff. We continued with our drinks quietly, not talking to each other. I think it was better that way because I wasn't expecting to see her here. I glanced at her and on an impulse wanted to ask how her date with Xander went but decided otherwise because it might ruin the moment." Soo...." She began. " How's Xander?" " He's good." She nodded slightly before peering deeper into the store. " There's an arcade game at that corner over there. Want to play?" " Uh... Sure. "" You have a penny?"" A few coins."We walked over to the arcade a

Natalie's P. O. VStill on the weekend. Today being a Sunday I decided to call up Ariana so I can discuss some things with her." So how's everything going?" She asked." Fine... At least. Nothing major has happened for now. But I don't know in the next coming days."" How about the Anderson brothers? Anything up to about them?"" Nothing.... maybe there is," I muttered." What is it?"" I don't know Ari, I just feel something isn't right somewhere. There's something really serious going on between those brothers, but for some reason, they've decided not to speak up about it."" And have you tried asking?"" You just don't go asking personal stuff, especially judging from the way I got associated with them. I think it has something to do with Lucy."" Who's Lucy?" Ariana asked." Xander's ex-girlfriend?"" He even as an ex? Wow. What are your suspicions, then?"" That whatever must've occurred in the past between the b

Natalie's P. O. VWhile the class was in its full swing and everyone paying serious attention to whatever the teacher was saying, I was busy with my phone..... Texting Xavier.N: Hey, good morning. I sent to him and dropped the phone, drumming my fingers on the table. My phone vibrated and I hurriedly picked it up.XV: Good morning. Aren't you texting from classes?N: Kind of... Are you busy? Can we talk after school? XV: Sure... But what do you want us to talk about? I sighed before replying.N: You'll know when we meet. See you later. And with that, I dropped my phone and pretended to pay attention in class. I caught Mira staring at me with a questioning look on her face; I shrugged and she smiled. Well, I need to answer all that's going on....Xavier's P. O. VI stared at the last message I got from Natalie. She wants us to talk, but about what??? I racked my brain several times, but I could only come up with

Natalie's P. O. VOf all stories and incidents, people had ever told me, this was by far the worst. Xavier, sleeping with..... Nah, I refuse to think about it." Wait, a sec... You did WHAT!!?" I exclaimed suddenly when it finally registered. Xavier looked at me as if he was shocked at my reaction, staring at me intently." You didn't believe what I said, did you?" He asked slowly." It isn't true? Thank God!" I huffed a sigh of relief." No, it's true, but you still didn't believe it, did you?" He asked again. Okay, I'm beginning to get confused here." What do you mean?" " Look, I know I told you that it appears that I might have slept with Xander's girlfriend, but I don't think that's what happened."" Then how do you explain the both of you being naked underneath the sheets?"" That's the problem!! The fact that I can't explain it." He huffed, clearly frustrated. I looked away, still thinking about what he said." The truth is,
