Xavier's P. O. V
" Why? Are you stalking me?" Natalie asked me. I stared at her in surprise." Of course not! Why would I? It just so happens that I meet you here."" Really?""Absolutely," I answered." I don't believe you." She muttered as she turned to her drink and was gently slurping it. I was tempted to almost do the same." Well, that's your problem," I muttered. I heard her scoff. We continued with our drinks quietly, not talking to each other. I think it was better that way because I wasn't expecting to see her here. I glanced at her and on an impulse wanted to ask how her date with Xander went but decided otherwise because it might ruin the moment." Soo...." She began. " How's Xander?"" He's good." She nodded slightly before peering deeper into the store." There's an arcade game at that corner over there. Want to play?"" Uh... Sure. "" You have a penny?"" A few coins."We walked over to the arcade aRelated chapters

Natalie's P. O. VStill on the weekend. Today being a Sunday I decided to call up Ariana so I can discuss some things with her." So how's everything going?" She asked." Fine... At least. Nothing major has happened for now. But I don't know in the next coming days."" How about the Anderson brothers? Anything up to about them?"" Nothing.... maybe there is," I muttered." What is it?"" I don't know Ari, I just feel something isn't right somewhere. There's something really serious going on between those brothers, but for some reason, they've decided not to speak up about it."" And have you tried asking?"" You just don't go asking personal stuff, especially judging from the way I got associated with them. I think it has something to do with Lucy."" Who's Lucy?" Ariana asked." Xander's ex-girlfriend?"" He even as an ex? Wow. What are your suspicions, then?"" That whatever must've occurred in the past between the b

Natalie's P. O. VWhile the class was in its full swing and everyone paying serious attention to whatever the teacher was saying, I was busy with my phone..... Texting Xavier.N: Hey, good morning. I sent to him and dropped the phone, drumming my fingers on the table. My phone vibrated and I hurriedly picked it up.XV: Good morning. Aren't you texting from classes?N: Kind of... Are you busy? Can we talk after school? XV: Sure... But what do you want us to talk about? I sighed before replying.N: You'll know when we meet. See you later. And with that, I dropped my phone and pretended to pay attention in class. I caught Mira staring at me with a questioning look on her face; I shrugged and she smiled. Well, I need to answer all that's going on....Xavier's P. O. VI stared at the last message I got from Natalie. She wants us to talk, but about what??? I racked my brain several times, but I could only come up with

Natalie's P. O. VOf all stories and incidents, people had ever told me, this was by far the worst. Xavier, sleeping with..... Nah, I refuse to think about it." Wait, a sec... You did WHAT!!?" I exclaimed suddenly when it finally registered. Xavier looked at me as if he was shocked at my reaction, staring at me intently." You didn't believe what I said, did you?" He asked slowly." It isn't true? Thank God!" I huffed a sigh of relief." No, it's true, but you still didn't believe it, did you?" He asked again. Okay, I'm beginning to get confused here." What do you mean?" " Look, I know I told you that it appears that I might have slept with Xander's girlfriend, but I don't think that's what happened."" Then how do you explain the both of you being naked underneath the sheets?"" That's the problem!! The fact that I can't explain it." He huffed, clearly frustrated. I looked away, still thinking about what he said." The truth is,

Natalie's P. O. VAfter leaving Xander hanging last night, I had gone home angry and a little disappointed. True, he called countless times but I refuse to pick them up. I just needed time to think. Right now we're in school and just before I walk into class, someone stops me." I'm sorry..." A voice behind me says. I freeze and turn slowly. It's no other than Xander. Staring deep into his eyes I mutter, " Sorry about what?"" The way I acted last night. I know it's not the best... I wasn't thinking straight." He hurriedly explains." That's your excuse?"" Maybe... That's not all. Well, I guess I've buried this issue long enough long that every time someone talks about it, it pisses me off." He says with his hands in his pockets, looking at me skeptically. I made to say something, but then the bells rang so I sighed instead." I don't know what to tell you, Xander. I have to go now... Maybe we'll talk later?" I said and make my way to classes. I saw th

Darren's P. O. VArriving at the entrance of Mira's house, I stopped, taking a good look in. The Song's sure as wealthy....well aren't we all? ' Song' weird surname." Okay ... Time to do this.." I say to myself as I drive to her gate. The security guards asked me a few questions before letting me in. I stop and the entrance of her house before coming out of my car and walking in......Mira's P. O. VI had already seen his car from up the window and I was giddy with excitement. I hurried over to pick my coat and running over my looks one last time, I smiled satisfactorily before leaving my room. As I descended the stairs I could already voices. Looks like he was discussing it with my parents. Hmm... Sweet.Once I got to the living room he looked up and when his gaze caught mine, he broke into a smile. I smiled back and blushed slightly." Ah, there she is." My dad said when he saw me. " Why don't you come over." He gestured at me, I di

Natalie's P. O. V" Well, guess what? I don't know what to do." I said to Ariana. I had called her up immediately after I finished dressing up for school, hoping she'll have a bit of advice for me." Come on, Natalie. I know it's quite tricky... But you have to figure it out. Remember, you are in the middle of all of it."" And that's exactly the problem. From what I've heard, I can't pin the blame on Xavier. He might be innocent but I also can't accuse Xander. For goodness sake, it's his girlfriend we are talking about!"" Well, ex. That's why I'm saying you should stick around them for a while. Get to know the two better... Long enough to know if they can do this thing against each other."" What if I mess up?" I said, my voice lower than I intended.There was silence on the other line, but Ariana eventually spoke up." If there's one person I know discerns people more than anyone else, it's you, Natalie. A few days wouldn't hurt to know which br

Mira's P. O. VI stayed in my room, sniffing and sobbing quietly. Right now I feel so stupid for what I did back there, but I didn't have a choice, or did I? I heard a knock on my door and quickly cleaned up my face." Who's there?" I called hoarsely. " Open up, it's me." My mom replied. I sluggishly stood up from the bed and went to open it. True, it was her, and she had a tray of food in her hands." So... Aren't you going to let me in?" She asked, smiling." Sorry. Please come in." I trotted back to the Ed and laid head first, burying my face in the sheets. I felt a hand stroking my hair, and I knew it was mom." You've been all to yourself ever since you got back from school. Is it anything you want to talk about?" My mom asked." I'd rather not talk about it," I muttered, hiccuping in the process.She fell silent for a while and what she said next stunned me." It has something to do with Darren, doesn't it?" She asked, still stroki

Mira's P. O. VLast night was blissful as Darren and I kept talking and laughing. He eventually drove me home late in the night and gave me a good-night kiss. The second I entered the house, my mom gave me a knowing smile. I blushed and rushed to my room. Today Darren and I planned to arrive at school at the same time, to surprise Celine, of course.The second we both walked in with our arms linked, everyone's eyes were on us. Of course, Natalie had not yet arrived so she couldn't see us, but the Trio were all present. Bella was the first to notice us then, and she gawped and nudged at Celine, who in turn stared at us in disbelief. Yeah... Serves her right. Rumors and murmurs erupted in the air." Are they dating? They seem close!"" Darren's got himself a girlfriend? And it's... Mira??""Oh, I wish I was the one standing beside him!"" That girl Mira is so lucky. Darren sure has got eyes!"Celine came sprinting towards us, her eyes spilling with a
