Xander Redent
When my dad told me and my sister that we're moving to America, I hate the idea of it. I already feel comfortable living in London and the idea of moving out of the country is unimaginable.
I was afraid to lose my good friends here, my routine, my comfort zone and everything about London actually. It's not that I'm afraid of not having friends in America, I have the Gold Lifes there but it's been a long time since I've seen them and it will be a little awkward even though they're my childhood friends.
"Hey, how's your first day at school?" My dad asked when I entered the house. He was reading something on his iPad and I walked towards him throwing myself to the sofa right across him.
"Great." I said flatly.
"You still miss being in London?" He asked.
"Of course, I was born there and raised there." I said as I closed my eyes.
"But you always wanted to live here."
"I said that when I was a kid, dad." I sighed.
"You'll love it here besides.. if you have a girlfriend, you will want to stay here more than London." Girlfriend? Even I don't want to have one. Having a girlfriend will tie you up and you can't freely go anywhere or hangout with other people like when you're single.
"Yeah right."
"You met the Gold Lifes right?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"And you're going to the gala tonight." I opened my eyes and turned my head to him.
"No."
"Xander, you are going. Everyone will be there." If my dad asked me to come, I don't have a choice. I got up from the sofa and walked up towards my room. I threw myself again to my bed and fell asleep.
"Xander.. Xander.. wake up!" My sister jumped on my bed and I got up slowly.
"What?"
"We're going to the gala tonight." She said and I shook my head.
"Go there alone.. I don't want to." I said as I threw my body back to my bed.
"Xander!!" She shouted right in front of my ears and I got up glaring at her.
"Go take a shower and get ready or I will get dad to do that for you." She said gesturing me to go to the bathroom. I sighed and walked towards my bathroom to take a shower.
I walked out from the shower and dried myself. Walking from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my hip and then walked towards my closet. I put on my suit and styled my hair back.
"Xander!" I heard Eva calling me.
"What?" I shouted back.
"Let's go!" I sighed and walked out from my room.
"You're ready?" My mom asked as she walked out from the room.
"Yeah."
"You look great." She said and we walked down together. My dad looked at my mom with full admiration in his eyes. Yes, he's that dumb for love.
"What took you so long?" Eva smacked my back and I glared at her.
"Eva.. don't smack your brother like that." My mom said and she smirked.
"Let's go." My dad said and we walked out from our house with our chauffer already waiting for us. We got into the car and I leaned back my body closing my eyes.
I don't care about what dad, mom and Eva are talking while we're on the way to the gala because I'm still sleepy. I kept listening to music ignoring all of my family's conversation.
"Let's go." My dad said and I opened my eyes.
"Don't act stupid." Eva said and I just glared at her closely. Sometimes I think she's my step sister not my real sister. She bullies me a lot. I think mom took her out from a trash car or something.
We got out from the car and walked into the venue. There were a lot of people gather in this big ballroom and of course my dad greeted the Gold Lifes.
"Xander.. come and sit with us!" Chase said and of course I was so glad to have them here. I sat with Chase and Ian along with the other Gold Lifes but my eyes seems to look for someone in particular.
"Where's your sister?" I asked Chase.
"As usual.. she's busy with her cars."
"Cars? She's racing?" I asked curiously.
"No.. she's a mechanic." That made my eyes widen because that's the most facinating fact that I've ever heard about Athena.
"Alone?"
"She learnt it from my grandfather, Nic, so she loves spending her time in her garage and now she's with him." Chase said as she sipped his wine.
"Why are you looking for my sister anyway?" He asked.
"Wanna ask about our homework, I was in the same Math and Geography class with her."
"Oh I see.. Try to message her."
"I don't have her number." I said truthfully and Chase took out his phone showing me Athena's phone number.
"Thanks man."
"Anytime." Chase smiled and patted my shoulder before he got up and walked away. I smirked looking at Athena's phone number and I decided to message her.
If you're good at fixing cars, can you show me how to fix my heart?
I know that sounds so cheesy and disgusting but I wanna see how Athena reacts. I bet her reaction will be funny because she used to be a drama queen when she's little.
Go to the doctor
I laughed seeing her reply and I can't help but sending another message.
Busy dating with cars?
I looked at my phone screen intensely completely not aware that I was waiting for her reply like an idiot.
Yes, how about you and I go for a ride?
Oh shit! Why am I imagining that she said it in a sexy tone when I know it's a pure sarcasm. I can't believe this. I put my phone back into my suit and closed my eyes.
We just had a little contact and now my head is starting to mess with me? Get in your sense, Xander! Athena is your childhood friend so don't even think about hooking up with her.
Idiotic brain!
Athena Lemiere"Good job! That's my girl.." My grandfather a.k.a the great Nicholas Lemiere patted my head and I smiled to him. Since I was a kid, I watched him repairing old cars in his garage and I can watch him for hours and hours without being bored."Are you sure.. that you're giving this to me? Dad said you love it so much." I asked him as I pointed at the old classic car in front of me."You're my granddaughter and there's nothing wrong with giving something that I love for you." He smiled and I hugged him."You're the best." I said and he chuckled."There you are.. Why are you spending your time here rather than spending time with me?" My dad walked in and he briefly hugged my grandfather.
Athena LemiereI was enjoying my peaceful nap on the rooftop when suddenly I heard someone bursting the door open. I got up instantly and guess what? I found Isaac and Xander. I cursed at them and closed my eyes again."Athena?" I heard Xander called."What?""What are you doing here not in class?" Isaac asked."I'm taking a nap.""I'm telling dad." Isaac said and I gestured him to tell dad. I slowly sat up straight and opened my eyes to see Xander and Isaac looking at the view from our school."This is amazing." Xander said."I know right but it's going to rain soon so it will be suck." Isaac said and I put
Xander RedentI stared at my locker blankly completely still confuse about what just happened earlier. I kissed Athena Lemiere, I freakin' kissed Athena Lemiere and even asked her on a dated. What is this? a miracle or something?It was the moment when we got into the building after running through the rain together. She was all wet and her t-shirt was tightly stick to her body showing her beautiful curves. Her hair were all wet and she was putting her all to the back showing me her sexy neck line.I was holding my beast inside when we're going down to get a new fresh clothes. I gave her my black t-shirt hoping that with that I won't get out control. Instead of making me better, she ended up making my beast get more crazy. When she walked out from the toilet, she tied my shirt on her waist since it's a lot bigger.
Athena LemiereI don't know if God knows what I'm thinking or what, but my house is so clear. There's no one because everyone is busy with their own thing. My mom and dad have an important dinner to attend, Chase and Caleb have things to do with work and Isaac went golfing.I can go with Xander peacefully. I looked at myself in front of the mirror and I think I look okay. I wear a white turtle neck with a black skirt. I tied my hair up into a ponytail and put my A necklace on along with my simple circle earrings. I put my boots on and slung my small Chanel bag around my body.My phone rang and it's Xander. I picked it up right away."Hello.""Come out.. I'm right outside your house." He said.
Xander RedentAthena is not the type of girl that you can give flower and be impressed about it. She's not the type of girl that can be impressed by your cheesy words. She's not the type of person that you can easily get. She's not the type of person who will give you her heart easily. There's a long list for it.Spending time with her was amazing until I didn't even realize the time that passed. She's smart, kind and has a really open minded mind. Not to mention that she always pays attention to other people, she never stays on her phone while others are talking which I really love. Some girls will concentrate on their phones and ignore when other people are talking."You stare too much, Xander, I feel uncomfortable." She said and I chuckled looking away from her."Mr. Red
Athena LemiereI felt my head so dizzy as I got out of my car. My chauffeur gave me my bag and I gestured to him to go. I walked towards school not bothering to hide my bare face. I looked like a zombie. I sneezed and closed my eyes for a moment."Athena.. what happened?" Serena asked."I got cold.""Not you too." She said and I raised my eyebrows."Who got cold too?" I asked."Xander." Oh boy."You want to rest?" She asked and I nodded. She supported my body and lead me to the nurse room. We walked in and Xander was sitting there being check by the nurse."Athena? You too?"
Athena LemiereI opened my eyes because my phone rang so loudly. I got up slowly and walked towards my table to open my bag taking my phone out. It's Xander and I smiled before picking up the phone."Hey.""Am I waking you up?" He asked."No.. No." I lied."How are you feeling now?" He asked as I laid again on my bed."A little better, how about you?" I asked him back."Yeah.. getting a little better after a long sleep." He said and I chuckled."Our dad knew, Athena." My body froze that second."What?""Our dad knew.. about us
Athena LemiereI looked at my phone screen to see Xander calling me nonstop and he sent me a ton of messages asking me where I am. I turned my phone off and my chauffeur opened the car door for me. I got out of my car and walked inside the school.I arrived so late which is 10.45 am and the first thing that I did was go up to the rooftop. I put a secret camera near the bench. It was quite far but it was close enough to see who's there. I hid on the other side of the entrance of the rooftop. I waited there and I heard someone going up to the rooftop.I heard no conversation but I heard noises. I decided to peek a bit but I still can't see anything. They're on the other side of the bench side. I walked there silently and hid behind the walls right behind the bench."Oh Xander
