Nathania’s POVIf Nathania said it seemed like Xavier had gone back to withdrawing to himself, it was an understatement. For two weeks, two whole weeks, Xavier lived like she was not in the world. Ever since they came back from Hawaii, he had been ignoring her like she was a carrier of a deadly plague. Even when she goes over to their house to visit Christy, he locks himself in his room and only comes out when he was on his way out and even then, he wouldn’t even glance at him. At first, Nathania had liked it, believing she needed time to get over what happened in Hawaii, however, as the days stretched and Xavier showed no sign of backing down, she knew it had became serious and so tried to ask what his deal with. However, dear ol’ Xavier refused to honor her with his attention and time.It got to a point that she even went looking for him in the nerd house as Nana but only to be told that he has not visited the place since the week that went to Hawaii. And it only made her wonder, if
Xavier’s POVXavier stared at the boy in front of him. Two weeks, for two good weeks he had ignored him, wanting to forget about him and the stuff in Hawaii but every day, every single day, instead of hating him or forgetting him like he had hoped, he had found himself being drawn to him the more and now, here he was, making the first approach. Isn’t he cursed? He almost laughed at himself. In those two weeks, he had tried to understand himself, he had gone to club, meet women, talked to a few, made out with a few but none, absolutely none of them had succeeded in getting this boy out of his mind.He had also visited gay clubs, got hit on by a few but none attracted him like the boy in front of him. He even forced himself to entertain a guy in the club by giving him his full attention but when the guy had touched him, he had felt irritated. And nearly had a fall out with the guy when he wanted to force himself on him. Well, if it wasn’t for the bouncer, Xavier was sure he would have k
Nathania’s POVNathania tossed and turned on her bed. Sleep was impossible like it has been for the past seven days. She still found it hard to believe that she had kissed Xavier. Whether it was only for a second, it was still a big deal for her. She found herself thinking back to that night for the thousandth time. When she had decided to kiss him, she had placed a bet that he would laugh it off, punch or, push her away or withdrew himself. Nothing, absolutely nothing had prepared her for the fact that Xavier would stand his ground and that she would kiss him.She could still remember how shocked she was and how Xavier had stood staring at her, not saying anything or even shouting at her. She on the other hand had been to shocked to say a word and if it wasn’t for Teresa coming out for that moment and saying that she had been looking for her, she wondered how she would have escaped Xavier that night because she had used Teresa as an excuse and also begging Xavier to take her home bec
Xavier’s POVXavier had just walked out of the nerd house, feeling angry at himself for coming second yet again in the competition and this time, he only had one person to blame: Oliver. Right after that night of tasting his lips, even though it was just for a second, Oliver had gone around avoiding him. Even though he would purposely sit on his bike to wait for him to arrive, as soon as Oliver does and saw him, he would quickly park his truck and make an excuse to rush inside the school. Once Xavier had run after him but seeing how the few students that had arrived then were staring at them, he had let Oliver go and never was able to catch him alone.Now as he stood in front of the Nerd house, about to go down to his bike, he saw a silhouette walking down the streets and he guess he has embedded the way he looks and walks inside him for he knew instantly with one glance that that was Oliver. As he wondered what he could be doing there and was still considering whether to call out for
Nathania’s POVNathania couldn’t understand what was wrong with Xavier. If he called her Ollie, it means he knew it was her, that he knew her as Oliver and yet he was being this touchy? She couldn’t understand him, she was finding it really difficult to read him. A part of her was telling her that he was teasing her, and the best thing to do was to react by pushing him away and calling him out on his actions. However, to think it was one thing and doing it was another. Her hands were placed on his chest and his body warmth burnt like a scorching fire, yet she couldn’t take her hands away. She could feel his muscles underneath his shirt and all she wanted to do was to rip the shirt open and feel those abs skin to skin. However, she had to remind herself who was in front of her. Gracious, it was Xavier for crying out loud.“You are not speaking, what’s the matter? Cat caught your tongue? Or in this case, is it me?” Xavier asked, his voice was playful, proving to Nathania that she was ri
Nathania’s POV Nathania parked her truck in the lot, for once since she could remember, she couldn’t find Xavier’s black bike in the lot. She had come a little late herself but Xavier seemed not to be coming in today and she wondered if it was because of that night in the alley. Right after Xavier had broken the kiss, with both of them breathless, she had pushed him and ran out of the alley. A part of her had thought he would follow but he didn’t and neither did he contact throughout the weekend. She had been restless, so restless and a lot of times she had picked up her phone to call Teresa and ask for his number but not once did she carry it out.Even when she sees Teresa’s call, her heart would miss a beat before she would answer, hoping that it was him that was calling with Teresa’s phone but not once did that happen. And now, here she was in the parking lot, after calming herself down with the fact that she would see him today and that they would talk about everything and only f
Nathania’s POVIt’s been three days since the announcement in the assembly and no one has seen or heard from Tyler. Chloe had slipped into coma and no one knows when she would wake up. Everyone was looking for Tyler and even his parents had filed for missing person report as Tyler has not been seen since the night of the accident. While it was a big news in school as everyone was wondering what could have really happened and while Tyler had ran away from home, Nathania was more worried about Xavier and why he was acting and living like she doesn’t exist. He has not said a word today and when she would try to approach him, she would always chicken out, afraid of what he would tell her or what she would say to him.Not able to take it anymore, she decided to approach him in a way she wouldn’t have to be afraid or worried with how he would treat her. She dressed in a nice floral gown, her long hair was let down and she tried to apply a simple and light makeup. Satisfied with how she look
The young girl stared at herself in the mirror and smiled. She was dressed in a white turtleneck and a black leather jacket with black jeans and white sneakers. She perused her face in the mirror and reached for her makeup which she used to enhanced her cheekbones and she made her eyebrows thicker than usual. Loving her new manly look, she nodded and grabbed a bobby pin which she used and hold her hair all back before putting on the short brown-haired wig. She arranged the wig with her fingers, making it a little messy and then she pouted her lips at herself in the mirror before she chuckled and left to pick up her backpack that was resting on her bed. Stepping out of her bedroom, she called out in a feminine voice at the next door, “Granny, I’m leaving for school.” “Okay my dear, I will have food ready by the time you are back,” an elderly woman’s voice rang from the room. “Don’t stress yourself Granny, if you can’t handle it, I will prepare it when I’m back.” “Oh dea

Nathania’s POVThe remaining day of the trip was fun and Xavier stayed home the whole day but even though he was, Nathania found herself staying away from him for fear that he may bring up the dare and Xavier stayed on his own as well, letting them be and did his best to disassociate himself from their fun and on Monday morning, they found themselves in the jet and flying back home.When they landed at the airport, everyone said goodbye and Teresa walked Nathania to her truck. “It was fun. Honestly.” Nathania said.“Is it? When you abandoned me and kept following Xavier around like his lackey.”“Hey, I didn’t do that. I just wanted to make him feel among, like a part of us. You know.”Teresa rolled her eyes. “I will let it go, but only because you made up for it yesterday.”Nathania smiled, knowing she had won her over once more. “You are my number one priority, and you know it. Never you doubt it. If I follow Xavier around, it’s only because I want to be friends with your siblings s
Nathania’s POVNathania was shocked to see Xavier and the fact that he was now dressed in lose shirt and track pants made her gulp and also remember his shirtless chest when he was pinning her against the wall. Remembering how his voice had said ‘kiss me’ made her flustered once more and she closed her eyes, wishing she could somehow retreat to her room so that she could think about everything to great length.“Why would you say that to me?” Teresa cried, “do you have any idea how all of were worried. If it was you, do you think I would be worried? After all, everyone knows that’s how you are. But Oliver isn’t, and him acting like is so unlike him and irresponsible.”“So, I’m irresponsible?” Xavier asked.“How could that be the only think you picked from all that I said?” Teresa pouted.“It’s fine.” Xavier waved her off. “He is here, everybody is here, there is nothing to be worried about. He already knows he is wrong so he won’t do it again, isn’t that enough?”Teresa pouted some mor
