“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
Xander is an idiot! He is a complete and utter fool!He told me to toss a coin. I did. He told me that I’ll know what I wanted when the coin was in the air. I knew it now. But what troubled me was that the coin gave me the output that I wanted to see.Now, I know how I should have been happy to see that but I wasn’t. I was still confused. I still had no idea how I would act around Ace. I still didn’t know what I would say to him. I sighed as I got up from my bed where I have been laying for the past hour, staring at the ceiling. I had to do something. Anything!I have been in my room since I came back from school. Xander didn’t come over since he knew that I wanted some time alone to think about the situation with Ace. Xander and the guys were hanging out at his place doing god knows what and I wanted nothing more than to go and join them.But Ace was a good friend of mine and I couldn’t just keep him hanging like that. I owed him an answer. So, I picked up my phone fro
Xander’s POVI have no idea what I was thinking about. I really shouldn't have said whatever I said. I should've remained the stupid that I have always been.Why did I give Ellie that advice? Why did I do that when I knew that she liked him?If it wasn't for the sudden wise thoughts that hit me, I would have been sitting here with her, arguing with her about something or the other. If it wasn't for my stupidity, she would never have gone on that date with that idiot!“Xander, tell Jason to share those chips with me!” Mason complained childishly as he pointed at his brother who was munching on some potato chips. “Do it yourself.” I told Mason as I got up and started pacing in my room. What would they be doing right now? Is he saying something to make her laugh or is he saying something to make her blush?Those thoughts made my blood boil.Ellie left about fifteen minutes ago for her date. I saw her leaving from my window. That was one of the advantages of being
Have you ever been in a situation that others find hilarious yet you feel so embarrassed that you just want to hide out in your room with none to minimal contact with the rest of your life?A situation which makes you think that maybe you’ll do something on the computer to make money and just order stuff instead of ever going to the market so that no one sees you?Well, I was feeling exactly that right now as I walked back home. It was quite late and the streets were deserted as I looked up in the star filled sky and questioned god about what I did wrong in life.The humiliation that I was feeling was out of this world. I am seriously considering making money by hacking people’s accounts and moving to Antarctica. I think I’ll also get plastic surgery and even change my name. Darla sounded like a good name, right?I sighed as I looked down to my boot clad feet. At least my knee length boot looked good enough to be seen out in the public. I swear, if I decide not to follow
“This.” he said. Before I could react or even process what was happening, Xander wrapped one of his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. With his other hand, he cupped my cheek before I felt his soft lips on mine in a passionate kiss. I was too shocked to react however I started kissing him back out of reflex. When I realized how I was kissing my best friend in his driveway while our parents could have been watching, I pulled away from him.What on earth did just happen?!“Xander!” I exclaimed as I stared at him with wide eyes. I pushed him away and took a few steps back myself.“What? Did you react the same way when Ace kissed you?” he questioned before running his hand through his hair in frustration. Is he crazy?“I didn't kiss Ace! And he didn't even try to kiss me while standing in his driveway where his and my mother could have seen us and started planning our 25th anniversary party!” I told him, incredulously.“25th anniversary?” Xander questioned in amuse
“No means no!” I told Kara. She looked like she was just about to cry as she sat down next to Liam at our table in the cafeteria. Liam looked at Kara with concern shining in his eyes before looking at me with a stern expression. I ignored his anger filled look as I took a seat between Mason and Damien, right in front of Kara. Kara was looking like a little kid who was about to cry.“What are you saying no to? And how can you upset Kara?” Liam asked me. Kara is too cunning! I take my words back from all the time I said that she was innocent!“She is asking me to join her for a sleepover.” I told them with a disgusted face. “So? What’s the problem?” Damien asked me. I turned my head to glare at him. “We have sleepovers all the time. You never have a problem.” Damien shrugged. “That’s because those sleepovers were with you guys. Kara wants a girl’s night.” I told him, shivering at the last sentence. I had no problem with having a sleepover with Kara. She was a nice per
This was a disaster. Bigger than the disaster that any tsunami, hurricane or earthquake ever brought. This was like the king of all disasters. This one was so big that I think nothing would ever be the same.Besides the fact that I was surrounded by the people I barely tolerated at school, Cassie was here too.Turns out, Cassie was actually Sarah’s cousin. And right now, I was trying to smile and act casual as she continued to tell everyone about how she was a cheerleader and how she was the most beautiful girl in her school. I was missing the guys like crazy and when I tried to text Mason, Kara caught me and she took my phone away. So, the only thing left for me to do was to pretend like I am having a nice time.“And all the guys in the school wanted to date me.” Cassie told us in a proud voice. And I thought that this couldn’t get any more clique… “That is so cool! I wish that I was as pretty as you!” A girl said. I think her name was Hannah or Heather or something.
“So? What is the problem?” Xander asked with an amused smile on his face. “Why are you so sad about it all? Isn’t this what you wanted?” He asked. I scowled at that. “No, you dork! I wanted plain cheese pizza! Onion was fine but you know that I don’t like capsicum on my pizza!” I said as I pushed the pizza away and glared at the table in front of me. When I told Xander everything about what happened at the sleepover, he didn’t say anything and just drove up to the pizza place. I thought that he just wanted to lift my mood up with pizza but it turned out that that was not the case. When we were ordering, he just kept telling me to order the onion and capsicum pizza. I ordered it because he was the one paying for it but now he was asking me to eat it too.In my current mood, I just wanted to kill him!“Then why did you listen to me when I told you to get one with capsicum? Why did you get the capsicum pizza?” He asked me. I turned my head to glare at him. “That’s becaus
