“Why is it all so loud?” Xander groaned as he walked into the living room. I chuckled as he covered his face. “Xan-Xan!” Aria, Damien’s little sister yelled before she ran off to Xander and wrapped her tiny arms around Xander’s legs. Xander looked at me and Damien for help. I giggled at the excited face of the little angel. “Aria, do you want hot chocolate?” Damien asked his little sister. She turned to him with a super happy face like he just told her that unicorns are real.Yikes! Unicorns make a really bad image in my head… I got up and handed Xander the pills for his head and water. He gave me a grateful smile as he swallowed the pills.“Are you okay now or do you still wanna elope with me?” I questioned when Damien and Aria walked to the kitchen for the hot chocolate. Xander smirked at me as he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I giggled as I placed my hands on his chest.“If you are offering that, then who the hell am I to reject that
I have been hiding. I came to school with the lovely couple Liam and Kara. I went to all my classes before time, I hid my face with a hoodie and I didn’t even go to my locker because I already took all my books from there in the morning. I know that lifting all the books and notebooks the whole day is tiring but I just wanted to hide. Hide from him. I know that I am being crazy but I can’t face him. Not now. Not ever. I think I should just shift to Timbuktu, get plastic surgery, change my name to something like I-am-not-Eleanor-Aliana-Ambrosia-and-I-don’t-even-know-who-that-chick-is. Sheesh! That’s a little too long…. Yesterday, after I said what I said and Xander stopped the car, we made out. Like full on make out session kind of made out before we got home. I don’t even know how it started or who started it. I just know that it happened.We didn’t even talk as I rushed inside my house. And after that, I haven’t seen his face. My best friend’s super handsome face. The
He wasn’t at our usual table in the cafeteria. In fact, he wasn’t even in the cafeteria. And no one knew where he was. It was like he just disappeared. I didn’t know if I was relieved or worried or angry. I don’t think I wanted to know where he was but at the same time, I wanted to find him and make him talk to me. “So, what happened? Where is your hoodie from this morning?” Liam asked me when I sat down with my tray. “Damien made me take it off.” I pouted. “Thank god! I was starting to sweat only by looking at it!” Liam exaggerated. I squinted my eyes as I stuck my tongue out at him. Honestly speaking, it was very uncomfortable to wear an oversized hoodie on a hot summer day but I needed something to hide my face if I ever ran into Xander in the hallway.“What is happening though? First, Xander roams around the whole school, searching for you and now you are asking about his whereabouts. Did something happen?” Kara spoke up. Damien snickered beside me and I shot h
“He asked the whole class to skip and then he put glue, glitter and confetti everywhere in the class saying that the dull class needed it. He even insulted his teacher. How can I forgive him?” Principal Hughes asked me. The issue wasn’t really that big but Mrs Krampe was making it bigger. Xander had asked, which according to me must have been more like threatening, everyone to skip Chemistry and then he had put glue all over the teacher’s table and chair and then put glitter and confetti on it. When Mrs Krampe came into the class and caught him standing there alone, he had called her a grumpy old teacher who needs a little glitter in her life.Mrs Krampe decided to expand it and told the principal how he always insults her and how he had threatened her to leave the school.“The class actually could use a little glitter, to be honest.” Liam mumbled to me. I sighed. “Principal Hughes, I know that whatever he did was out of hand but to be fair, the others are also to bla
“What are we doing?” Xander asked as he crashed on my bed. It was Saturday and me, all the boys and Kara had all gone to a nearby fair today. To say that we all were happy would be an understatement. We had so much fun that everyone was ecstatic by the end of the day.It was evening now and everyone had gone back home to rest after the thrilling day.After all, it was only Saturday! Sunday was yet to come… “Nothing. It’s near dinner time so I am just going to go and take a shower before going downstairs to have the delicious feast that my mother has prepared. I would suggest you do the same.” I shrugged as I opened my closet door to find some clothes to wear after my shower. After the day of running around and messing around, I was feeling exhausted. I hoped that a shower would relax me.I just wanted to shower and go to bed and dream of pizza… But I can’t….“But the day isn’t over! And I have detention for the whole week from Monday!” Xander whined. I rolled my eye
I kicked Xander on his leg under the table to get his attention. But like the last ten times, he ignored me as he continued to burn holes in Ace’s face. I could see that Xander’s glare wasn’t making Ace uncomfortable. Ace was amused. “Xander? Why aren’t you eating anything, honey?” My mother questioned with a concerned face. “Is the food that bad?” My mother gasped.“No, Mrs A. The food is amazing as usual. You can never cook anything bad.” Xander told my mother with a smile as he looked at her. “Then why aren’t you eating anything, sweetheart?” My mother asked curiously. “It’s just that I saw something puke-worthy and I lost my appetite.” Xander shrugged. I kicked his leg as hard as I could under the table as I shot him a deadly glare. I knew very well what that puke-worthy thing was. Xander narrowed his eyes at me. He was clearly not very happy. How could he when Ace was here? And now that Ace was sitting right next to me where Xander usually sat during family dinner
"What came first? The egg or the chicken?" Xander asked as he crashed on the couch in front of the television.I could see that he was tired. After the dinner yesterday, Ace and I were chatting up till pretty late and Xander didn’t leave before Ace left for his hotel.Idiot!"Well, the word egg came out of your mouth first." I answered as I rolled my eyes. I was tired too because I didn’t get my eight hours of much needed shut eye."No shit, Sherlock!" He replied with his eyes closed as he tried to rest. I huffed as I sat down on the couch near Xander’s head. He instantly placed his head on my lap."Well, I don't have to be Sherlock to know that insulting a teacher's kid in front of her would land anyone in detention, Einstein!" I retorted.We would have reached home at least an hour earlier if it wasn’t for Xander getting into trouble. He had insulted a teacher’s son when he asked me out. "Hey! It wasn't my fault that he came after you!" He defended himself as he came
“Are you cold, E?” Xander asked with a frown when I snuggled closer to his side. I didn’t respond as I stared at the TV screen. We were watching a movie but all my attention was elsewhere. Earlier today, when Ace practically proposed to me to be his girlfriend, Xander walked into the room at the right time. According to Xander, we were talking a little too long.Usually, I would have scolded Xander for bursting into my room like that but at that very moment, I was thankful to him. I didn’t know how to respond to Ace’s words. I hardly knew what I would say to him now if I saw him. Ace was currently back at his hotel since Xander was annoying him a little too much. I would have saved Ace but I was numb. So, Xander took advantage of that and drove him away.Sometimes Xander does good for me without realising… “Xander?” I mumbled as I felt my eyes drooping. I was tired and my brain had been functioning a little too much after Ace’s confession. “Hmm?” Xander hummed as he p
