ALEXIA I couldn’t be more relieved when school hours ended, because wearing Killian’s hoodie was getting me more attention than I usually received and it’s never the good kind. I stopped outside the classroom, my eyes searching for Raven in the crowd of people making their way out of the school building but there was no sign of her, usually she would be out here waiting for me. “Looking for me?” I turned sideways as Leo came up beside me, if I hadn't been too distracted, I would have noticed him approaching. “Hi.” I said, returning my attention back to what I was doing before he interrupted. “I’m actually looking for Raven, something must have held her up because she’s usually out here waiting for me. Maybe she hasn’t left her department yet, so I better go look for her there.” I joined the line of students, heading for the exit. He fell into steps beside me, adjusting his backpack over his shoulders. “Would have loved to come but I have practice. Tell Raven I said hi…” his voice

ALEXIA Killian dropped me off at home and we bade each other good night. Walking up to the front door, I noticed it was locked when I tried to open it so I fished out my key from my backpack instead. What ticket did Killian give them this time? Pushing the door open, I step inside and then drop my bag on the couch. Next I took off my shoes and went into the kitchen in my socks to get myself a drink. Just as I set down the cup, I heard the front door open and Dad’s laughter floating into the room. I immediately hurried back to pick up my stuff before they stumbled on them. “Oh, you’re back. Your Dad and I were hoping to beat you back home so I can get started on dinner already.” “Dinner? You aren’t cooking tonight Alice, why don’t you go get change and I’ll order pizza.” Dad replied. I watched Mom beamed up at him before placing a kiss on his cheek and then walking away. Once she was gone, I turned to Dad, waiting for him to tell me about their outing. I was also curious to know h

ALEXIA They forgot me! Ben and Zeke freaking forget the fact that they were supposed to pick me up after school. I made sure not to keep them waiting, as soon as I finished with my last lesson for the day, I didn’t even stop to chat with Leo or torture Izzie into carry my stuff. I hurried towards the parking lots just in time to see them driving off! Several minutes passed by with me still staring after their ‘long disappeared out of sight’ car, a wave of anger stirring up inside me. So now I’m supposed to walk all the way to the manor? While I have no issue walking home from school everyday, the distance from school to the manor is way further than my house and I can’t not go because of the project. Only because of the project which has nothing to do with the fact that I desperately want to see Killian. Who said that? I knew when Leo came up beside me without even looking at my side, he also stared into the distance before he spoke. “Is there any reason why we are looking out ther

ALEXIA Nothing in the world could have prepared me for what happened next, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach as Killian hurriedly dropped me on my feet. I opened my mouth to apologize but something in his gaze stopped me, he looked repulsed, angry and…terrified? I didn’t have the time to pinpoint that because he already staggered away from me, putting as much distance between us. He was panting heavily, like he had been running a marathon and as if he couldn’t bear to be near me any minute longer, he broke into a half run in the opposite direction. Tears blurred my vision, rolling down my face when I bent down to pick up my backpack. Why am I getting emotional? Everyone has gotten rejected once or twice in their lifetime but that’s the thing, I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I didn’t ask him to carry me, he insisted! and with how repulsed he looked a while ago, he shouldn’t have if he hated touching me that much. He certainly didn’t hate kissing me that much since he did it

ALEXIA Watching her walk away made my heart sink, I hate when we fight, especially when I’m the one to blame. Taking a deep breath to steady my beating heart, I redirect my attention back to my lunch. By the time I was done eating, enough time had passed for her to cool down so I made my way upstairs. After knocking severally with no response, I turned to leave when the door of her study opened with her poking her through it. “I was hoping you would have calmed down by now so we could talk about it. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would make a big deal out of it and it’s only for this semester. By the next one, enough time would have passed for me to figure out what I want to do.” Pausing to see her reaction, which was difficult due to the distance between us and because she had on her glasses. The fact that she could be busy but still gave me a listening ear made me believe she isn’t that mad at me because if my Mom was mad at someone, she would flat out ignore them.
