《The Player's Playmate》全部章節：第 21 章 - 第 30 章

 “Ellie, where are we going?” Xander asked for the hundredth time as he pouted. “Somewhere I can kill you and dump your body!” I answered in a mock serious tone. Xander gasped. “But you love me and I love you!” He said. I ignored him. After about five minutes of silence, he spoke up again. “Are we eloping?” He asked with a cheeky smile. I rolled my eyes at him.I had somehow managed to get him out of the school and to his car without anyone spotting us. But the big problem now was deciding where would be a safe place to take him till he becomes a little sober.I sighed as I parked the car near the park. I have been driving around in Xander’s car, trying to figure out where I could take him while Xander asked me stupid questions and played with my hair. It was already the time for the school to get over. We had to head home. Our parents will be expecting us back soon.My phone suddenly pinged with a new message. I open my phone to see a message from Damien.DashingDamien:

 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 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

 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

 “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
