Claire POV ~I entered the class blushing. I can’t believe I actually did peck Xander. I didn’t want to see his reaction, that's why I rushed into the class. I just hope that he is not angry at all.I am very much grateful for the fact that he was here for me today. Being in his embrace makes me feel very secure and loved. i can remember him calling me his girl. I don’t know what he means by that though.I took a step forward to go and sit down before I froze again. I normally sit together with Ashley. but I now know how they really think about me so I don’t wish to sit with her.“Hey Claire, come and sit here!”. Alissa pointed at the seat next to her. “Thank you!”. I said to her as I sat down. The whole class stopped what they were doing and were looking at us.“Good morning class!”. The English teacher who entered the class said and that got the attention of the whole class who finally stopped looking at us.Although I didn’t pay attention at all in the class and the rest that fo
Claire POV ~As soon as we had dinner, I quickly went to my room and video called “my real friends”. I can’t wait to share the news with them.It was only Elsa and Joyce that were online so I waited for them to connect to the video call.“Tell me you have a good reason for calling us at this time?”. Elsa said and I nodded my head with excitement showing all over my face.“Why are you so excited? Are you finally going on a date?”. Joyce chipped in the conversation.“What! No! That’s not it”. I quickly answered.“Then?”.“Well you guys do know about the Desilver Annual Dinner party right?”. I questioned them.“Of course we do, everybody knows about the best dinner party that is only attended by the elite. So why are you telling us about it?”. Joyce casually asked.“Guess who is going to attend the dinner this year!!”. I screamed into the phone.“You? No way! How?” Elsa screamed back into the phone, having a shocked expression on her face.“Yes me!!!!”.“The company that dad works for is
Claire POV~When it was time for lunch, Alissa invited me to sit with them for lunch but I declined. I don’t want to be the subject of conversation in the cafeteria today.“Are you sure you don’t want to sit with us for lunch? I know that the rest will not mind.” Alissa stated.“Yeah that’s right Claire! Come and join us.” Ivory imputed.“Thank you guys but maybe next time. I have a book I need to return to the library.” I came up with an excuse. The truth is, I don’t want to over do things and make people think I am actually a social climber. Moreover, I don’t think I want to face Xander after yesterday's incident.“Are you sure that is the reason and nothing else?.” Alissa asked, looking directly into my eyes. Both she and I know that is not the reason but I am not going to back down at all.“Yes!.” I silently answered.“Okay if you say so but you are definitely eating with us tomorrow.” Alissa finalized. I know there is no way I will get out of this one.“Okay!”. I sighed.“Good t
Claire POV ~After school closed, I bid farewell to Alissa and the rest of her cousins. I went out and was quite surprised that mum is not here already. She is so eager for the outing that I thought she would be here for school. Maybe I forgot. That will be technically my mom for you. I decided to give her a call in order to find out what is wrong.“Hello baby girl, I am at the junction to your school already.” Mom said as soon as she picked the phone call.“Okay mom. I am waiting for you!.” I got off the call and decided to wait for her outside the school gate.As I made my outside, I saw Ashley and her group of friends standing where they usually park their cars. They were gisting and laughing among themselves. I came and passed them without looking at them.“Such a spoiled mama’s girl. I can’t believe her parents still come to pick her up from school as if she is a preschool student.” I heard one of them comment as I passed them. I did as if I didn’t hear them and kept on walking.
I went out of the changing room and stood in front of them.“Well. What do you guys think?”. I asked when I saw that all of them were speechlessly looking at me.“Wow!.” Stacy managed to break out of her trance.“Wow damn right!”. Freddy commented.“Never have I been speechless in my life like today.” Freddy continued.“Mom? How do I look ?”. I asked my mom, wanting to hear from her.“O dear, you look very beautiful. I can’t believe my daughter is all grown up!.” Mom emotionally said as she wipes away a tear or two from her eyes.“Thank you mom.” “You are definitely taking this. All you need is silver jewelry to match the outfit with it.” Freddy commented.“That’s right Freddy, we are definitely taking this. Claire goes and changes so that we can get the jewelry and the shoes”. Mom instructed. I went back into the changing room and carefully took off the dress. Mom paid for the dresses and Stacy accompanied us to the shoe section. Mom and I ended up choosing matching silver heels. M
Unknown POV~To say I was shocked is an understatement. I can’t believe what I am seeing. The Avila’s never allow anyone to sit with them at their table. But here she is eating and laughing with them. To make things worse, she is sitting near my Xander and even whispering to him.I fisted my hands into balls as I looked at them.Xander is mine! And he is going to remain mine. I am not going to allow some girl from nowhere to take him away from me.Looking at them made me lose my appetite. I stood up and left the Cafeteria.“O dear Claire, enjoy the attention while it lasts!.” I let out an evil laugh as I continued to walk away.Xander POVOnce school closed I and the rest of the guys walked towards our car parking space. From afar, I noticed an envelope attached to my wheel screen. I came closer and picked up the envelope. Inside the envelope is a card.“You are mine! Only mine and no one else!”. That is what is written on the card. I look around to see if there is anyone around but
Today is the D-day.After we had breakfast, mom and I went to the spa. We had our body polish before we styled our hair. After that we did our make up there. By the time we came back home, it was already after three in the afternoon. The charity event starts at five thirty. We have more than an hour to get ready.“Okay hurry up and get dressed. We are almost late!”. Mom said and hurried into her room. Typically mom.I went into my room and wore my dress, shoes and jewelry. I stood to look at myself in the mirror. I actually look like a real life princess.I hurriedly video called my friends in Australia. I kept the phone on the table and moved back a little so that they could fully see my dress.“Yo!”,“Guess who remembers us today.”“What’s up!”. They all said when they finally connected to the video call.“Greetings to all of you too!”. I saluted them.“Who are you?”. Joyce asked me.“What do you mean by that?”. I asked her.“Where is Claire and why are you answering her phone?.” E
“What? No! Where did you get that idea from!”Xander asked, looking lost. So maybe that is not the reason he kissed me then. But you can’t blame a girl for assuming.“Well, I read it in a lot of novels, when the girl talks too much, the guy kisses her to make quiet.” I embarrassingly explained.“That’s stupid. I don’t think a guy will kiss you for that reason. And for your information, I kissed you because I wanted to and not because of any other reason your novel feeds you with!”. Xander stated. “O!”. I said the only word I could think of. I am grateful that my first kiss is from my crush and is because he wanted to kiss me.“Yes! And sorry I did not talk to you earlier on. It’s not my fault, I was frozen by your beauty!.” Xander winked at me causing me to blush deeper. Thank god it’s dark so he can’t see my pink cheeks.“Stop kidding!.” There is no way he will see that my so-called beauty freezes him when his own family members are looking like goddesses.“I am not. I wanted to com
