Truth revealed and Group Chat

“Ethan's my new best friend.” I said, cheerfully. My voice was loud enough to get Ethan's attention. He looked at me in shock as I smiled at him. “Right, Ethan?” I asked him sweetly.

Ethan stared at me with his eyes wide and his mouth hanging open. I wanted to laugh at his expression but when I saw the furious look on Xander’s face, I covered my expressions with a bright smile. I walked to Ethan and sat on the table in front of his chair. He was still staring at me as if I was an alien.

“Your best friend?” Ethan finally spoke up, his voice coming out squeaky. I giggled at that, making Xander practically growl.

“Yes, Ethan. My best friend. You are my best friend.” I told him. He chuckled deeply after a few seconds making me frown at him.

“I’d rather be your best boyfriend.” He told me, making me narrow my eyes at him. But before I can say anything, Xander grabbed my wrist and pulled me up from the table and towards himself.

“I am your best friend. And you will never talk to this guy! Never!” Xander informed me with a furious look in his eyes.

“Why? Just because I asked her out?” Ethan questioned Xander, clearly enjoying his discomfort and angry state. Ethan’s shock was now all gone as he relaxed back in his seat and smirked at Xander.

“If what you said a few seconds ago was you asking me out, then I would like to tell you that you need to work on your charm, blondie!” I snorted at Ethan’s smugness. Ethan’s smirk fell as he frowned at me. By now, the twins had stopped their banter and were now looking at Xander with their eyes wide.

“I wasn’t talking about what I said a few seconds earlier. I was talking about the card I left in your locker two years ago.” Ethan informed me as he stood up from his seat. I frowned at that. I do receive a lot of chits and cards in my locker from people telling me how they like me and stuff but I usually ignore it all. I am one of the most popular kids in the school so I am used to all this but I never received any notes or cards from Ethan. Ever!

“I never received any card from you.” I told Ethan. His eyes grew wide and his eyes moved to Xander. I turned to see Xander glaring daggers at Ethan with his eyes. Xander looked like he was trying to get Ethan to shut up.

“You saw the card first! You hid it from her and you beat me up too. I thought that she hated me and rejected my proposal and that was why you came to beat me up and to warn me to stay away from her!” Ethan accused Xander. My eyes grew wide and my jaw dropped to the floor. I turned to see Xander staring at Ethan with so much hatred.

“Xan, tell me that he is lying!” I whispered to Xander as anger started talking over my logical senses. The twins pulled me back when Xander grabbed Ethan by the collar of his shirt.

“You guys knew, didn’t you?” I sneered as I looked at the twins who gave me sheepish smiles in return. I walked to Xander and placed a hand on his shoulder. “Leave him, Xander. The teacher is about to come in. And if you get in any more unnecessary trouble, I would personally drop you off to hell.” I told Xander. He glared at Ethan for one last time before he left Ethan’s collar and went back to his seat. I followed him and took my seat.

“That’s it? Shouldn’t you at least tell me what your reply would have been if you would have found my card!” Ethan called out when he saw how the four of us settled down and started focusing on something or the other. Xander was about to say something but I spoke up before he had the chance to.

“I would have said yes but now that I think about it, I would have broken up with you after a day or two. And so, if you ask me now, my answer would be no.” I shrugged before I focused on the book laying on my table. From the corner of my eyes, I could see that Xander was smirking at Ethan while Ethan looked shocked. The twins were high-fiving each other.

I wanted to wipe that smug smirk off of Xander’s face but as his best friend, I was supposed to hold my anger in and not yell at him in front of everyone. I would surely take my revenge on Xander but I didn’t want to say anything right now. For now, I wanted him to relax with the false hope that I wasn’t angry with him.

Soon Mrs Sandy Krampe entered the room. She glared at us all when no one got up or even looked at her to greet her. She silently settled in her seat and started doing some of her own work. I sighed heavily. Being in the presence of the grumpy old Mrs Krampe was something that always made me tired. Especially when she was looking up and glaring at us every now and then.

“Pssstttt!” I heard someone whispering and turned my head to find Xander giving me an apologetic smile as he motioned towards my phone. I looked at my phone to find a message from him on the group chat.

Xanderrific: Are you mad?

SassyEllie: Nope!!

Xanderrific: Good!

MightyMace: Bro! You ignored the double exclamation mark…

JollyJace: Bro! That’s not good!

LazyLiam: You guys are just exaggerating. Ellie might have typed that by mistake!

KindKara: Liam, don’t tell me that you believe that!

KindKara: Or we might break up due to your stupidity!!

Xanderrific: Shit! I was supposed to text her on the personal chat.

KindKara: But you didn’t.

MightyMace: Jacey-poo! Bring the damn popcorn! Detention is about to become interesting!

JollyJace: Macey-poo! You bring the gummy bears!

LazyLiam: I would bring the drinks!

I heard Mason and Jason chuckling quietly behind me. Mrs Krampe looked up and glared at the twins before looking down at her work and ignoring the laughing idiots. I roll my eyes at them before looking back at the phone screen. Damien had finally joined the chat.

DashingDamien: Wait! Detention?

JollyJace: Wanna join, bro?

LazyLiam: What happened?

MightyMace: Ellie found out about Ethan’s proposal from two years ago.

DashingDamien: Why does this kind of stuff only happen when I am not in detention?

Did all of them know about this?!

SassyEllie: You could have told me about it if you knew. Then it would have happened in your presence.

DashingDamien:

Xanderrific: Elle, are you mad?

I sighed. I looked at Xander to find him unconsciously pouting at his phone screen. He looked like a small puppy who got hurt. My heart ached at his expression.

SassyEllie: Yes.

Xanderrific: I’ll buy you Pizza on the way home. I love you, E!!!

He knew it! He knew my weakness. And he knew how to use it to break me…

SassyEllie: On the way home, today and tomorrow.

Xanderrific: Deal!

SassyEllie:

SassyEllie: Nice doing business with you. You are forgiven.

Xanderrific: I love you!!!

MightyMace: I love you too, Xan-bear!

JollyJace: I love you more, Xander!

LazyLiam: I don’t love idiots!

DashingDamien: I am not into guys. Sorry, dude!

Xanderrific:

Xanderrific: I am surrounded by idiots…

    “Did he really bake all those cupcakes for you?” Kara asked with a giggle. I nodded my head with a smile. “That is why I always told you to date him, honey.” My mother commented. I rolled my eyes at her. “When you found out about what happened, you were about to go over to his house and kill him! You didn’t even let him come inside the house when he came to apologize to me!” I reminded my mother. After my conversation with Xander, he did what he said he would do. He crossed every limit when it came to seeking forgiveness. He learnt how to bake cakes and cupcakes and I got a batch of the freshly baked goods almost daily. He even apologized to my parents.Xander was always around in school but he still kept his distance. He apologized to Damien and Liam too for breaking their trust.After a couple weeks of him always smiling at me through the hallways and doing his best, I decided that he and I have suffered enough by staying away. I forgave him. Completely.“That was be

    “I don’t want to go back to the way we were before, Ellie.” Xander told me, making me frown. What the hell is he talking about?“What do you mean by that, Xan? Don’t you want to be my friend anymore?” I asked him. Xander smiled as he shook his head. “No, Ellie. Now that I know how amazing it is to be your boyfriend, I don’t think that I can be just friends with you. You’re just too special and I can’t let you go.” Xander told me in a sincere voice. I stopped breathing and my eyes turned wide. I didn’t know what to say now. “H-how? W-Why?” I stuttered, not knowing what I wanted to ask or say. Xander chuckled as he looked at my flustered state. “Ellie, I am not going to lie to you anymore. I am not going to hide anything either. I’ll tell you the truth. I did ask you out because I was afraid of losing you to Ace. But I realised that I really do love you. And I have loved you for as long as I could remember.” Xander told me. I knew that if he continued talking, I was

  • The Player's Playmate   Back to School

    “I am fine, Damien!” I huffed. I have been saying the same sentence on a repeat for the past fifteen minutes, ever since he picked me up for school. But Damien is still annoying me. And so is Liam. And Mason. And Jason. “Are you sure?” Liam asked me as he looked at my face as if I was going to break down again. I rolled my eyes as I decided to ignore them all. After I told my mom and dad about everything, I had to practically beg my mom to not just go over to Xander’s house and break his face and my dad to not kill Xander. After convincing my parents, my mom made me skip school the next day and she and I went for a relaxing spa day. Later that night, my parents took me to watch a movie at the theatre.During the weekends, Damien, Liam, Kara and the twins slept over at my house. We talked about random things, ate loads of junk food, watched movies and much to Mason’s disappointment, did our homework. Today was Monday. And even though my mom offered to take me to a fair

  • The Player's Playmate   Breaking down

    I was done crying. My nose and eyes were red and my eyes were swollen and were hurting. But I didn’t feel like a mess. I felt a little better even though the pain of the heartbreak was still there. The day wasn’t over yet but my crying apparently was. I had no more tears left in me. As I drank some water, I realised how dehydrated I actually was feeling. But I was a little better… The pain was still unbearable and Xander’s voice still in my head on repeat as he confessed that it was all a lie but there was another voice there. This was my own voice which was telling me that I was Eleanor Aliana Ambrosia and no one can break me. I was stronger than titanium!My heart might have been broken but I wouldn’t let myself be broken completely. I was going to stay strong. After all, I was still in high school. I had a lot to live for. If not love, I still had to live to make my parents proud of me. I still had to do so much!I had to win a Nobel prize too!A knock on the door

    “I only asked Ellie out because I saw how Ace was going to take her away. I told her lies to convince her that I liked her so that she would leave him and come back to me. My plan was to break up with her after Ace was out of the picture and the offer for her to go to the music school was no longer available.” Xander said in a strong voice. I heard multiple gasps beside me but I was too shocked to say something or give a reaction as Xander visibly froze. It was as if he was afraid to turn around.“See. He didn’t want you after all.” I heard Sarah’s smug voice say but I couldn’t reply to her either. Xander turned around and his eyes met mine.I could see the shock and guilt in his eyes but I was too shocked to say or do anything.“Ellie…” Xander whispered as he looked at me with wide eyes. I held my tears and sob in as I looked at him but I could still hear his words on a repeat in my head which made a tear fall from my eye and roll down my cheek. He lied to me… It was al

  • The Player's Playmate   Secret's Out

    Xander’s POV“I know your little secret, Xander Theodore King.” I heard someone saying just as I came out of the class to make my way to Ellie’s locker. I turned to find Gavin, one of the guys from the football team standing right next to the door of the class. “Big deal, Gav! The whole school knows my whole name. It’s not a secret.” I said as I rolled my eyes. I turned around and started walking to Ellie’s locker. Today was our one month anniversary and I was going to do everything in my power to make sure that she was happy today. I had already planned our date for after the school got over.Ellie and I have been going strong even after Ellie found out that I was hiding something from her. The twins tried to bring it up and make me confess everything to her but it looked like she didn’t want to know. I knew that she wanted me to tell her everything on my own but I was a coward. I wasn’t going to tell her the truth. Besides, I love her now. I feel exactly wha

  • The Player's Playmate   The Starting of the End

    “Hey, Ellie!” I heard someone say just as I got out of the house. I looked up to find Ace standing a few feet away. My eyes grew wide. Crap! Did he hear about me and Xander being a couple?Ace and I haven’t talked after the day at the restaurant more than a month ago when I told him about how I didn’t feel like we could be something other than friends. I have no idea where he has been since then. It wasn’t like I didn’t care. I was just giving him some space. I didn’t want to rub it in his face. I just wanted him to take his time and get over it all. “Hey, Ace.” I said as I smiled nervously. My eyes went to Xander’s house to see that he wasn’t out yet. But he could come out of his house any second. Xander was supposed to be my ride to school like always and I knew he was about to leave his house now. I was just nervous to see his reaction on seeing Ace here at this time.Xander will surely get mad!“I know that you have to go to school but I just wanted to talk to yo

    “A frog can sing better than you, Mace!” Jason said with an eye roll making me laugh. Mason scoffed as he hit the back of his twin’s head. “I seriously sang better than every singer out there!” Mason said in a proud tone, making us all laugh. He pouted like a child as we all continued to laugh. Me, the twins, Damien and Xander were currently sitting in my living room, relaxing after the tiring day at school. Kara was at her house and Liam had to help his little brother with some stuff and so he wasn’t here either. I was sitting between Damien and Xander on the carpeted floor while the twins were sitting directly in front of us on the floor as well.“Mace, please stop with your jokes! You are going to make me cry because of laughing so hard!” Xander said as he tried to stop himself from laughing. “At least I am not the guy who is keeping a potentially awesome singer from becoming a famous celebrity!” Mason remarked making me furrow my eyebrows at him in confusion. Wha

    “Jace, do you believe in keeping secrets?” I asked as Jace and waited in the line for our turn. Jason instantly stiffened and gulped while I acted nonchalant as I stared at the girl who was currently giving her order. We were all at the fast food restaurant. After watching a movie, we were all tired so we decided to eat something. Kara and Liam were currently doing some shopping since Kara wanted to and so I decided to just question the twins now.When we all entered the shop, I told Damien to keep Xander and Mason distracted while I went to order for us all with Jason.Yes, I am cornering the one I think will be easier to break. And no, I am not ashamed in the least!“I don’t.” Jason answered, keeping it short. I nodded my head at that. I huffed as I saw the girl starting to flirt with the guy taking her order. Can’t she just drop her number for the guy and leave?“Don’t you think that that girl is taking forever? I mean, can’t she just flirt with the guy after his shi
