???? XAVIER’s POV ????


    “Hey dude.” Rio smiled as he sat down on the vacant seat beside me.


    We just rounded off our chemistry practical ss in the library. Just few students just like Rio and I decided to stay.


    We were given twenty minutes before another ss willmence.


    From the way Rio had been staring at me, I knew something was going on in that head of his.


    I knew that he had questions to ask me and it’s question that’s gonna make me speechless and stutter.


    I know Rio too well. He had a mischievous grin as he did his own practicals, but he asionally nced at me.


    Now sitting down with a smirk on his face, I knew he was up to something.


    “Yeah. I know that look Rio, so spill it out already.” I groaned and rolled my eyes at him.


    Rio let out a heartyughter and hit me lightly on my shoulder.


    “Yeah, I know you too well Rio, your look gave you away.” I said.


    “Yeah, definitely. You sure do know me too well. So, Xavier, I’ve been wanting to ask you this question but I’ve kept my mouth shut.


    But it’s been bugging me and I really want to know. Why did you choose Dney as prom date?” He asked, looking all serious.


    “I chose her because I didn’t have anybody in mind.” I shrugged even if I know what I just said was a lie.


    There’s more to why I decided to choose Dney that even I couldn’t understand.


    I just wanted to choose her – I wanted her to be the one to walk beside me when I walk through the red carpet into prom.


    I wanted her to be that lucky girl. Even if she’s na?ve, I still wanted it to be her.


    “Xavier, you and I know that you just told a lie. There’s Chelsea, isn’t it? You’ve known Chelsea for too long not to have her chose her. And Dney, you just met her weeks ago.


    Why didn’t you choose Chelsea that you’ve known rather than choosing Dney you don’t really know that well?” He asked with a scoff.


    This guy knows me too well.


    He’s always a smart ass.


    “You see Rio, the heart make decision and not the head. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve known someone – it can be days but your heart would still choose that person if it ones to.


    My heart chose Dney over Chelsea – even if I’ve been with Chelsea for years and Dney for weeks, my heart still chose her.” I rounded off my speech.


    I don’t even know how those words got formed in my head and processed it out from my mouth.


    I’m not good with those kind of words and nowing from, I’m sure it sounds odd.


    “Wow!” Rio pped his hands and stared intently at me, with surprise on his face.


    “I never knew the almighty Xavier is good with love words like this. When did you start giving love speech like this?” He teased.


    I rolled my eyes and punched him on his shoulder.


    “Ouch!” He whined childishly and soothed his shoulder.


    ‘stop teasing me okay? I just said the words as it formed in my head.” I shrugged inly.


    “Okay, I know you’re not good with love – but from what you just said, I think you’re in love.


    So, tell me, I promise not to tell anybody, do you love Dney?” Rio whispered and stared around, like he was checking if anybody wasing – when someone’s about to do something bad.


    “What! Are you crazy?” I gasped out and knock him hard on his head.


    “Of course not!” I added hurriedly.

    ALICIA’s POV ????


    “No, I didn’t…”


    I didn’t dare say that loud – I just thought about it but I know I’ll be a bad person if I should say it.


    I mped my mouth shut and stared at the angry Dney. I never knew she”d get to see the ne.


    How did she get to know that the ne is with Xavier?


    Xavier hadn’t wore the ne, so how did she know about it?


    And how did she know I probably had given it to him?


    This is really so confusing.


    “Answer me! Did you give it to him?” Her harsh voice jolted me out of my reverie.


    “Yes, I did.” I replied and gulped down nervously.


    “Where did you get it from?” She asked, with her hands on her waist.


    “I’m sorry.” I said and ran away.


    I just don’t know what to say to her. That I stole it?


    No way! I can’t let her see me as a purloiner!


    I sighed lowly as I got to the ssroom.


    I sat dejectedly on my seat and bowed my head on my desk.

    ???? HERA’s POV ????


    I breathed in and out for the umpteenth time as Emily knocked on the huge door, for the second time.


    The door opened and a maid was standing beside it.


    She smiled at us and ushered us in.


    I mped my hands together as I stared at my feet.


    I’m really so nervous.


    I hope things would turn out well today.

    “Hey, stop right there!”


    I gritted my teeth in anger as I turned around.


    I had tidied up the male room – whom I got to the know his name as Xavier.


    Dney was with him and they had beenughing so hard ever since I entered the room and even finished cleaning.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    He didn’t even spare me a side nce and I felt really hurt.


    Why can’t he even stare at him for once?


    I felt like grabbing his head and making him turn to look at me, but I didn’t, I just bore it.


    But Dney, she was making it too obvious that I wasn’t weed and I felt really angry.


    I just felt like smacking her hard on the face and ripping her long hair and leaving her bald.


    “What is it?” I grumbled under my breathe.


    Dney smirked and stood up from Xavier’s bed and walked closer to me – behind the door.


    “I want you to take that tray over there Xavier and I use in eating to the kitchen and wash them…” She pointed towards the table that had a small tray with leftovers in it.


    ” Then, in the next twenty seconds, I want you to bring me hot orange juice – juice that is boiled and very hot.”
