As expected, Xander looked down. Using that quick distraction, I snatched the ball from him and made my way to the other side of the court, where I shot and it scored. I had won. I turned to him; he looked completely shocked. That brought laughter to my face." Hey! That's not fair! " He said, astonished. I bounced the ball back to him." Life's not fair," I answered." You cheated!"" It's only cheating when other people see it. " Looking around, I said, " They didn't, so I won."Xander couldn't say anything. He just stared at me, his mouth open." I didn't expect you to fall for that anyway, but you did, so..." I trailed off, smirking." Remember, you owe me a bottle of soda," I said before walking out of the basketball court. I met Mira at the entrance, her eyes wide with shock." Did you beat Xander, like beat him??" she asked." It was just a friendly match... Nothing serious." I said nonchalantly." No wRelated chapters

" What did you do back there!?" I asked Xavier the second we arrived home. He had been ignoring me after he agreed on that bet and even when Natalie left for home and I couldn't even talk to him after the party ended." It's what you wanted, right? To fight me. Prove you are better... Or better still, pay me back for what I did years ago." He answered, still backing." Even I still hate you for what you did... There are better ways to solve that problem!"" I think this is perfect," He turned finally looking at me. It sent shivers down my spine. " Besides, it's just Natalie. How hard can it be? If you win, you'll finally have your sweet revenge. But if I win... There are a lot of things I plan to do as well. Have a good night." He said and walked inside the room, slamming the door behind him.I ran my hand through my hair in frustration and groaned. This should be easy, right? I mean, it's just a girl, right... How hard can it be?It's not just a girl, my su

Xavier's P. O. VI didn't go to school today due to some personal issues I had to solve, so I didn't know what occurred between Xander and Natalie. Either way, I dreaded going home, because it meant I had to go see Xander. I stayed in the car for a few more moments, taking in deep breaths while closing my eyes. When I was sure I was ready, I got out of the car and walked in.It looked like a storm had hit the living room. Everything was scattered around and it was completely messy. I swallowed. It could only mean one thing. Xander was here, and he was in a bad mood... No, not bad... Terrible. I managed to make my way out of the mess and started to look for Xander." Xander! I called, but no reply. Gosh! Where is he?? I can't go look for him in every nook and cranny of this house. I eventually found him, and he sat amid empty liquor bottles. He had been drinking with his head bent as if he was crying, although I wouldn't be sure. I heard no sobs." Xander?" I call

Xavier's P. O. V I had been watching Natalie ever since the school closed, and she waited alongside Mira for their driver. I had wanted to talk to her but with Xander hot on my trail, it was almost impossible to do it school... I had waited until he got tired and went to a club with the rest of the boys. Even when Mira got into her car and drove off, I had wanted to go to her and give her a lift, but as usual, I waved it off and eventually waited till her driver came to pick her up. Guess I was scared of being rejected. Since we would be taking the same route out of school, I followed her discreetly making sure she wouldn't notice someone was trailing her. That stopped when a car drove into hers and took her away. Since the street was quite silent, no one saw it except I. Without giving it a second thought, I had followed the car that kidnapped Natalie. They drove to a much-deserted part of town and had dragged Natalie

Natalie's P. O. V With the help of makeup, I successfully hid the bruises and managed to get past my brother's prying eyes. Maggie was still worried but I assured her. I rushed through breakfast and hurried into the car where my driver was already waiting for me; we drove off to school. I was especially furious this morning and as if my driver knew my mood, drove really fast. Soon we were at school and I didn't waste any time getting down from the car and storming into school. The stares followed as usual. I walked up to Mira, who was busy at her locker. " Good morning Natty." She greeted. " Hi. Have you seen the trio?" I hurriedly asked. " No, but they're in school. Why are you suddenly asking about them?" She asked, worry evident in her voice. I scanned around the hallway. No sign of the trio here. " I have to go. I'll see you later" " Natty?

Tricia's P. O. V" Uhn?" I feigned surprise, hoping it'll confuse him." I saw him leave the room just now. What did he ask you?" He repeated, scornfully." Huh.... Nothing really. He just wanted to know if I was okay..... You know, after the scare from Natalie" I said, laughing nervously. Xander didn't seem to believe me but due to the fact that the didn't have any evidence to back up my claim, let it go." Are you sure?" " Definitely..." I muttered. It took a while but he eventually left the room. I waited till the coast was clear before spazzing out.Aaargh!! Why is my life so cruddy?! I just hope nobody finds out....Xavier's P. O. VI went out of school to meet my long lost friend, Darren who for some reason decided to visit, I've actually missed him a lot. There he was, looking as handsome as ever, though I still beat him in looks, grinning happily as he saw me. He looked happier now after he left Ambrose high, I wish

Natalie's P. O. VI arrived home feeling completely exhausted and worn out. After the morning warning I gave to Tricia and the rest if them, no one didn't disturb me and I was glad for that. Walking into the living room, I saw Maggie coming down from the stairs." Good evening Natalie. How was school?"" School was fine. Where's everyone?" I asked, noticing that the house was strangely empty." Oh Greg and Jace finally went for their business trip. Which means we have the house all to ourselves!"" Really? Oh thank God!"" I knew you would be glad hearing the news. There's some food in the warmer in the kitchen... But you can heat it up if you want."" Thanks Maggie. I'll just go freshen up and wash all this ' make-up' off" I gestured. She laughed softly" And when you're done, if you want to watch a movie with me, you're free" " I'll consider that" we both chuckled and I left for my room...I settled down wi

" You know Darren?!" Someone asked the second I left the place. I flinched at first but when I realized who it was, frowned." Jeez Xander.... You scared me!" I muttered." Sorry... " He apologized. " But seriously though, you know Darren??"" Of course I do. He came to middesville one time during summer holidays... He was the cousin to Drake the basketball captain..." Xander raised his brows." Don't worry you can't understand that.... It's none of your business." I said. But he kept on staring at me, making me uncomfortable." Hey! Stop looking at me like that! You're not the only boys I know! " " I know, I know.... It's just weird...."" What's weird? That I know Darren, and his Playboy ways? Why don't you ask him about his stay I'm middesville, I'm pretty sure he never told you did he?"" No, he never did...." He trailed off." Why would he? That he got mobbed by girls, or that I put a snake in his boxers and he almost had an heart a

Mira's P. O. VI stared at Natalie wide eyed. I couldn't believe she could ask the question so outrightly. Even though it's the truth she could at least cut me some slack!" Of.. of course not!" I stuttered helplessly. " I'm just excited that's he back that's all!"" Cut me the crap Mari. I've seen the way you stare at him you went all googly eyed when he requested to seat at out table, not to mention how so you suddenly spoke up when he mentioned about my best friend Ariana which before then you had been sitting so quietly." She countered. I sucked my breath in. Natalie was right,she did notice everything. I breathed out and confessed." Okay fine. I do have a crush on him" I whispered. " But don't tell anyone okay? I don't like talking about it."Natalie stopped for a while, staring at and grinning at intervals.. then sat back and clapped her hands." Oh my gosh Mira! I can't believe it! You of all people! My oh my!" " I just said you should ton

THE GAME EPILOGUE
Natalie's P. O. VI was on my way back to Middesville but this time I didn't go alone; I went with my newfound friends and boyfriend on a bus. Today is my birthday and instead of celebrating it with a bunch of crappy people I didn't know, I decided to go to a place where people knew me well and I was allowed to do whatever I want. Darren and Mira were behind us acting all lovey-dovey, Xander was in front and I'm guessing he was face timing Lucy while Xavier laid on my shoulders, operating his phone while I listened to music with my earphones.I have to admit, sometimes our relationship still surprises me because we are so different in so many ways. While I liked to do everything hard and rough, which almost always got me into trouble, Xavier was more of a cool guy... Something I didn't think I was ever going to manage. It's weird how we get along just fine and not get into tons of arguments as people expected us to." For the last time Natalie, why didn't you invite a

Tricia's P. O. VI bowed my head out of shame as my mum reprimanded me. After the most embarrassing moment of my life at the hospital, I was taken to the police station where I was put into a cell. " How could you do this to your sister! What if she died??" my mum yelled at me and I cringed." She's not my sister!" I shot back, tears filling and streaming out my eyes." Really? What is she then?? Your maid? For goodness’ sake Tricia, I warned you. Even if she doesn't see you like one, she's never done anything to hurt you. Her dad might not be much of a father to you, but he isn't much a father to his daughter as well. She lives miles away from him!"I choked out, sobbing quietly." I just wanted something of my own. Something that I could point out as mine... And I didn't have any." I blurted." And you have that." My mom said gently. " If you were a little nicer, you'll know that you had that. You have friends, family... We might not be th

Natalie's P. O. VXander and Xavier were on the floor, but when Xavier rolled over, I realized he had taken the bullet for Xander. Xander just lay there, shocked about the whole thing. Who knew this would happen?? The gun had long dropped from Lucy's hands when she managed to process everything and she stood there dazed. Then began to mutter little incoherent things to herself while twisting her hair." I just murdered someone!" She said out loud before finally passing out, falling to the floor. I just stood there, dazed. Xavier's painful groan brought me back to the room. He was already bleeding." Oh, my God. No! " I muttered quietly as I went out towards him. He was shot in the stomach and when I tried to touch it, he groaned out loud. I stopped, my lips quivering." I'm sorry," I mumbled and looked up at Xander, who was still staring at everything as if it was a movie. I walked up to him as well, shaking him roughly." Will you at least get yourself toge
THE GAME Chapter 43
Lucy's POVI hurried over to a separate room in the house where we were and cleaned my bleeding nose. I was stressing too much, and it was terrible for me. I rummaged my bag for my pills and, seeing it, used some and gulped down a bottle of water. Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up, and it was Tricia calling." I can't do it!" I yelled as I picked it up." What do you mean, you can't do it?? It's not that hard. Just eliminate Natalie and you'll be fine."" I just told you, I can't do it. I'm not a killer."" Oh really? You're not going to do it. So then what? You're just gonna let what you've been working hard for go to waste? Why did you start it if you knew you weren't going to end it?" I... I don't have to strength too." I muttered, biting my lips." Take it easy on yourself, Lucy. It's not that hard, just go over there... Put the bullet in her head and boom, she'll be gone, goodbye. Now go, I won't repeat myself."" Okay... I mutter

(Next day)Ariana's P. O. VI hurried over to the rest and stopped right in front of them, panting." Hey, guys... Good morning." I greeted, taking in deep breaths. They all looked at me quizzically." Good morning? What's wrong?" They all asked." Have you guys seen Natalie? Cause I haven't seen her since last night."" What do you mean you haven't seen her since last night? Darren asked." Isn't she supposed to be with you?"" No, I thought she was with Mira. She went out last night and didn't tell me where she was headed." I said. Mira looked confused." Natalie wasn't with me last night." She slowly said. " She didn't even call me at all."" Okay... That's strange. I've tried calling her since last night and she hasn't been picking up. I had to lie to her brothers that she slept over in one of her other friend's houses."" You aren't saying Natalie is missing, are you?" Darren asked." No... Although I might be speculating it
THE GAME Chapter 41
Lucy's P. O. VI arrived at school today, and people couldn't stop murmuring and staring at me. They were still the same old faces, except for a few additions and one of the brother's close friends, Darren. " Isn't that Xander's ex-girlfriend?"" She is, and what is she doing here?"" Didn't she ditch him?"" Damn! She's pretty."Those were the few of the many statements they were making about me. A strange girl with purple hair waved, and I stopped and turned, thinking it was someone different. But then she pointed at me. Ok... This is weird. Without hesitating, she walked up to me and greeted me, a smile on her face....Ariana's P. O. VI'm guessing this is the Lucy they've all been talking about, which is weird because she looks pretty natural. Wait... Who am I kidding? She's the daughter of one of the richest businessmen in new Orleans. Of course, she has to look natural! Well, nice Ariana mode activated."Hi..." I

Lucy's P. O. VMy first glance at him after two years and the first thought that entered my head was, I don't deserve this guy... Like not at all. He looked so handsome with the stunned look on his face I wanted to rush over and hug him, inhale his scent... Maybe even cry on his shoulders and tell him how much I missed him. But instead, I fiddled with my fingers and looked down, avoiding his gaze." Lucy?" He repeated as if to be sure I was the one. I peeked at him, my lips quivering." Hi..." I muttered again, biting my lower lips. " Long time no see," I said nervously." It's. Really... You... Wha... When did you get here? I'm sorry, hello." He rambled on. I chuckled softly." I just back today, and I wanted to see you first," I muttered, glancing at him." Oh...." He trailed off, still staring at me. I took in a deep breath and cracked." Xander... I'm, really, really, really, really, really sorry." I said, unconsciously counting off my fingers.
THE GAME Chapter 39
Natalie's P. O. V" You don't mean that, do you?" I ask, dumbfounded. She scoffed." And why would I lie to you? " She asked instead. Ariana glanced at me, confused." But they don't have the same surname." Ariana pointed out." That's due to Lucy's mental health. I'm pretty sure Xander must have told you about it." She said. We nodded." Wait... Why are you telling us this?" I asked, not sure if I should trust her. She sighed." Lucy is coming back soon. I'm suspecting Tricia has something in store for her, but I don't know exactly what. Whatever it is... It's dangerous. And no force in the world can stop her."" Well, except for you guys. You're the only ones whose skin she hasn't gotten under yet. Please do something."" And how are you so sure we can do something?? We don't know what exactly Tricia has in mind," Ariana says." You'll figure something out, I'm sure of that. Thanks for listening." Bella said and walked away.Ariana
THE GAME Chapter 38
Natalie's POV " Tricia!... Definitely her!" Ariana piped out the second I finished narrating the incident to her. I looked at her and shrugged. Sure, her intuitions were hardly ever wrong... It's still hard to take her on her word sometimes. We had given the stuff we found to Maggie because she said she had a friend who was a pharmacist and could help us identify the rest of the drugs used. She promised to get back to us tomorrow. " How do you know that? You've only been in school for two days?" I said back, staring at her as she brushed her hair. " Come on... That girl can never be clean. Have you seen the way she stared at me in class? Like she wants to murder me but can't because she knows I'll kill her too." She said and folded her hands. I chuckled then sobered up quickly. " But why would she do that? There are other ways to attract a guy's attention rather than drugging them up." I muttered. " Hmm, I
