Semua Bab THE GAME: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Xander's POVWaking up with a slight migraine, I looked down, slowly pushing the body that lay on my chest. She was still fast asleep. Running my hands through my hair, I let out a huff. Last night was the same as all other nights. Get drunk and get laid. Same pointless sex.Wrapping a towel round my abdomen, I walked to the bathroom to have a quick shower. I needed to get my thoughts together as I stayed beneath the shower for what seemed like forever. Eventually, I was done and turned it off. Getting out of the bathroom, I met the girl already seated. I don't even know her name."Hi, good morning." she greeted shyly. I'm sure she must be feeling on top of the world for being in my bed. If only she knew it meant nothing to me. I put up a smile and played along."Good morning. How are you?" I asked."Fine. Just a little sore." she added, pouting."Sorry, I'll leave you to freshen up."Okay." I went to the wardrobe and pic

Xander's POV"Dad called." Xavier announced on the dining. We've been sitting opposite each other for a while now, neither of us saying anything, and suddenly he announces this."Did he?" I asked."Yes. He said he wanted to check up on us. See how we were faring." He answered."What did you tell him?""We're fine." "Okay..." I muttered and continued eating. I have a feeling he's not done yet. " Xander, he's heard. People are telling him." he suddenly said, peering at me. I raised my brows as if I wasn't concerned."Heard what?" I asked."Your consistent partying. He made a long speech about that affecting his image....""It's all about his image, isn't it?"  suddenly snapped, cutting him off. " Everything is about his image to the press, isn't it? He doesn't come home, never calls and when he finally does it is to tell us it's affecting his image.... Seriously?""It's not about that, Xander. You should

Natalie's P. O. VThe visit to the principal's office earned me an ID card with a small piece of book that contained the school rules, which am positive no one follows around here. Mira had earlier wanted to accompany me to class, but I dismissed her, I can manage on my own. She's been enough help. Walking through the now-empty hall as the bell had rung and there were all in their classes, I looked for my class and finally found it. Taking deep breaths, I relaxed and pulled the door open, entering into my class.First things first, the class was huge. The chairs seemed comfortable and spacy as well, not cramped like my former school. Not that I hated it, I especially liked jutting into people's seats for the fun of it. Sucks I won't be doing it here. The class immediately went quiet the moment they saw me, checking me out. They must have wondered where I come from. I glanced around the class and saw Mira; she was waving and pointing at the empty seat beside her. There were

Natalie's P. O. VAs expected, Xander looked down. Using that quick distraction, I snatched the ball from him and made my way to the other side of the court, where I shot and it scored. I had won. I turned to him; he looked completely shocked. That brought laughter to my face." Hey! That's not fair! " He said, astonished. I bounced the ball back to him." Life's not fair," I answered." You cheated!"" It's only cheating when other people see it. " Looking around, I said, " They didn't, so I won."Xander couldn't say anything. He just stared at me, his mouth open." I didn't expect you to fall for that anyway, but you did, so..." I trailed off, smirking. " Remember, you owe me a bottle of soda," I said before walking out of the basketball court. I met Mira at the entrance, her eyes wide with shock." Did you beat Xander, like beat him??" she asked." It was just a friendly match... Nothing serious." I said nonchalantly." No w

Xavier's P. O. VI didn't go to school today due to some personal issues I had to solve, so I didn't know what occurred between Xander and Natalie. Either way, I dreaded going home, because it meant I had to go see Xander. I stayed in the car for a few more moments, taking in deep breaths while closing my eyes. When I was sure I was ready, I got out of the car and walked in.It looked like a storm had hit the living room. Everything was scattered around and it was completely messy. I swallowed. It could only mean one thing. Xander was here, and he was in a bad mood... No, not bad... Terrible. I managed to make my way out of the mess and started to look for Xander." Xander! I called, but no reply. Gosh! Where is he?? I can't go look for him in every nook and cranny of this house. I eventually found him, and he sat amid empty liquor bottles. He had been drinking with his head bent as if he was crying, although I wouldn't be sure. I heard no sobs." Xander?" I call
