The Player's Playmate Suspicion breaks friendship
“Why did Mason get a fresh batch of your special chocolate cookies?” Jason questioned as he eyed his twin who was busy eating the cookies as if it was his last meal ever. “He went out with Sarah when I asked him to.” I told him Jason’s eyes grew wide as he turned to his twin with wide eyes. “Is that why you looked so pale when you came back home?” Jason asked his brother who just nodded his head as he munched on the cookies. “Why did you bake cookies for him for going out with Sarah?” Damien asked me with a confused frown on his face. “To save me.” Xander answered for me as he sat down in the seat next to me. It was our lunch break now and it was just me, the twins, Damien, Xander and a few of the guys from the football team at our table in the cafeteria. Apparently, Sarah was crying over something and so all the girls were with her, trying to console her. And Liam being the awesome boyfriend he is, decided to help his girlfriend with it.“How did that save you?” Jas
The Player's Playmate The Talk
I kept staring at the grass, not speaking anything. I knew that Damien was staring at me, but I didn’t look at him. I was afraid of showing him how weak I was currently feeling. When Damien and I walked out, we made our way out to the entrance of the school which had a few trees. We were currently sitting on the grass under the shade of a tree.“Ellie, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I am sorry for getting angry.” Damien sighed. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around his neck as I hugged him. I felt his arms around me, hugging me back.Out of all my friends, it was Damien who was always on my side. No matter what, he never yelled at me. He was the only one who never fought with me.Even if I did something wrong, he always took my side. Damien never talked harshly with me. At least not in front of anyone else.Damien pulled away and smiled at me. I smiled back. He raised an eyebrow in question. I sighed. I knew that he was waiting for me to explain everything to him. He was
The Player's Playmate The Crazy Chick
“You were the one who said that you don’t want others to know just yet. Then what made you tell Damien?” Xander spoke as he narrowed his eyes at me. I shrugged at that and smiled as Damien walked into the room with a huge knife in his hand. Damien saw me staring at the knife and he sighed. “You were the one who told me that the rifle won’t scare him! This was the only other option!” Damien told me. “Do you really need anything to scare someone?” I asked Damien as I got up and walked up to him. “Are your fists on a vacation? Where is my scary boxer best friend?” I asked him. Damien shook his head at me before looking behind me to Xander.“Are you sure that you want to be with this crazy chick?” Damien asked Xander. I gasped at that. “Hey! I am standing right here! And I think that you are forgetting that I am your best friend!” I reminded him. He just ignored me as he waited for Xander’s reply. Xander chuckled before standing up from his couch he was sitting in and ca
The Player's Playmate Confessing like Romeo and Juliet
“Ellie, you seem a little too happy lately. What happened?” Liam asked as I settled down in my seat in the cafeteria. Xander settled down next me and smirked at me. He was waiting to see what I will tell Liam. Ever since we told Damien about the two of us, I have been feeling a little freer and have been able to enjoy my dates with Xander. Damien helped us cover it all up whenever anyone questioned us about it.As for Xander, I have realised that he is better than I thought. Besides his obvious good looks, Xander is an awesome guy to go out with. He is really sweet. And even though I have known him all my life, it is now that I realise how amazing he really is.I never knew that Xander was the Prince Charming I was waiting for. He is just perfect. He makes me so happy.The best thing about being with Xander is that he knows everything about me already and I know everything about him. We know each other's likes and dislikes.“Can’t I be happy?” I asked Liam. “Not with th
The Player's Playmate Twin Troublemakers or Identical Dumbos
“When were you two planning to tell us about it?” Liam asked as he crossed his arms and looked at me as if he was the strict teacher scolding a toddler for coloring outside the lines. We were back at my house. After the whole incident, we all just decided to skip the rest of the classes and relax our minds and have a nice talk to clear everything up. So, we were up in my room now since my parents weren’t home at this time.“It wasn’t a secret that we were hiding from everyone!” Xander said. “Damien knew about it.” He added. Liam turned to Damien and narrowed his eyes at him. I would have laughed at Liam's expression if I wasn't sitting right in front of him.If he were a cartoon character, his head would have been blown to bits due to his anger!“You knew? Why didn't you tell any of us?” Liam asked Damien, who looked bored. “Ellie told me not to tell anyone.” Damien shrugged. My eyes grew wide as Liam turned his angry gaze back to me. I was completely frozen in shock.
The Player's Playmate The Apology
“I am sorry, Ellie. If I knew about it all, I would have never let Sarah go after him. I am so damn sorry for everything she said.” Cassie told me. Imagine my surprise at seeing her on my doorstep when I opened the door on a Saturday morning. And she wasn’t alone. Sarah and Kara were with her. And even though she was apologizing about Sarah’s behaviour, Sarah looked the least bit apologetic. Kara on the other hand looked like she was about to cry. Me and the boys avoided the lunch room and Sarah after what happened in the cafeteria. Kara didn’t even show up at school while Sarah tried to talk to Xander whenever she could but Xander grabbed me and kissed me whenever she got too close. It got too much when he kissed me in front of a teacher and I had to help him avoid Sarah for my own safety.“Cassie! I didn’t expect to see you here.” I said, trying to sound a little cheerful.“I know. Look, I am just here to apologize. I didn’t know that you and that boy were together. I s
The Player's Playmate Trouble with exploding test tubes
“Ms Ambrosia, I told you that you should leave these boys and find better friends.” Principal Hughes told me. I sighed. I really don’t want to hear this… “Sir, with all due respect, Damien is an amazing friend. And Xander isn’t any less. In fact all the friends I have are amazing. I wouldn’t want to leave them for anything in the world.” I told him in a kind tone. “Then why do they always end up coming to my office?” Principal Hughes asked me with a raised eyebrow as if he was challenging me. Liam was so lucky to have been able to avoid this!“Sir, the qualities that make a person a good friend aren’t their scholastic achievements or how disciplined they are. The qualities of a good friend are that the person is trust-worthy and reliable. And I am pretty sure that my friends are pretty trust-worthy and reliable. They have never let me down.” I told him. “They might be reliable and trust-worthy for you but they sure aren’t the best choice, Eleanor. You are a very brig
The Player's Playmate Can't let her go
Xander’s POVA smile graced my lips as Ellie laughed at a joke Mason cracked. She was so cute and yet so elegantly beautiful. Ellie was nowhere near fake.She was real.And she was awesome.It all might have started as my obsession of trying to keep her by my side and away from Ace but now it was turning into something bigger and something much better. “Xander, why aren’t you eating your food?” Ellie asked, bringing me out of the trance. I shook my head and looked down at my untouched food. “The pasta isn’t bad. It’s actually good today.” Liam told me. I nodded as I took a bite. The food was surprisingly good for cafeteria food. “What happened, Xan? Why aren’t you saying something today?” Ellie asked me. I turned to see concern in her beautiful green eyes. “I was just thinking.” I told her with a smile. She frowned at that. She looked so damn adorable with the frown. Snap out of it, Xander!I was never one to notice someone so closely. The only time I not

The Player's Playmate Epilogue
“Did he really bake all those cupcakes for you?” Kara asked with a giggle. I nodded my head with a smile. “That is why I always told you to date him, honey.” My mother commented. I rolled my eyes at her. “When you found out about what happened, you were about to go over to his house and kill him! You didn’t even let him come inside the house when he came to apologize to me!” I reminded my mother. After my conversation with Xander, he did what he said he would do. He crossed every limit when it came to seeking forgiveness. He learnt how to bake cakes and cupcakes and I got a batch of the freshly baked goods almost daily. He even apologized to my parents.Xander was always around in school but he still kept his distance. He apologized to Damien and Liam too for breaking their trust.After a couple weeks of him always smiling at me through the hallways and doing his best, I decided that he and I have suffered enough by staying away. I forgave him. Completely.“That was be
The Player's Playmate Love Conquers All
“I don’t want to go back to the way we were before, Ellie.” Xander told me, making me frown. What the hell is he talking about?“What do you mean by that, Xan? Don’t you want to be my friend anymore?” I asked him. Xander smiled as he shook his head. “No, Ellie. Now that I know how amazing it is to be your boyfriend, I don’t think that I can be just friends with you. You’re just too special and I can’t let you go.” Xander told me in a sincere voice. I stopped breathing and my eyes turned wide. I didn’t know what to say now. “H-how? W-Why?” I stuttered, not knowing what I wanted to ask or say. Xander chuckled as he looked at my flustered state. “Ellie, I am not going to lie to you anymore. I am not going to hide anything either. I’ll tell you the truth. I did ask you out because I was afraid of losing you to Ace. But I realised that I really do love you. And I have loved you for as long as I could remember.” Xander told me. I knew that if he continued talking, I was
The Player's Playmate Back to School
“I am fine, Damien!” I huffed. I have been saying the same sentence on a repeat for the past fifteen minutes, ever since he picked me up for school. But Damien is still annoying me. And so is Liam. And Mason. And Jason. “Are you sure?” Liam asked me as he looked at my face as if I was going to break down again. I rolled my eyes as I decided to ignore them all. After I told my mom and dad about everything, I had to practically beg my mom to not just go over to Xander’s house and break his face and my dad to not kill Xander. After convincing my parents, my mom made me skip school the next day and she and I went for a relaxing spa day. Later that night, my parents took me to watch a movie at the theatre.During the weekends, Damien, Liam, Kara and the twins slept over at my house. We talked about random things, ate loads of junk food, watched movies and much to Mason’s disappointment, did our homework. Today was Monday. And even though my mom offered to take me to a fair
The Player's Playmate Breaking down
I was done crying. My nose and eyes were red and my eyes were swollen and were hurting. But I didn’t feel like a mess. I felt a little better even though the pain of the heartbreak was still there. The day wasn’t over yet but my crying apparently was. I had no more tears left in me. As I drank some water, I realised how dehydrated I actually was feeling. But I was a little better… The pain was still unbearable and Xander’s voice still in my head on repeat as he confessed that it was all a lie but there was another voice there. This was my own voice which was telling me that I was Eleanor Aliana Ambrosia and no one can break me. I was stronger than titanium!My heart might have been broken but I wouldn’t let myself be broken completely. I was going to stay strong. After all, I was still in high school. I had a lot to live for. If not love, I still had to live to make my parents proud of me. I still had to do so much!I had to win a Nobel prize too!A knock on the door
The Player's Playmate Not hurt or Angry, just Numb
“I only asked Ellie out because I saw how Ace was going to take her away. I told her lies to convince her that I liked her so that she would leave him and come back to me. My plan was to break up with her after Ace was out of the picture and the offer for her to go to the music school was no longer available.” Xander said in a strong voice. I heard multiple gasps beside me but I was too shocked to say something or give a reaction as Xander visibly froze. It was as if he was afraid to turn around.“See. He didn’t want you after all.” I heard Sarah’s smug voice say but I couldn’t reply to her either. Xander turned around and his eyes met mine.I could see the shock and guilt in his eyes but I was too shocked to say or do anything.“Ellie…” Xander whispered as he looked at me with wide eyes. I held my tears and sob in as I looked at him but I could still hear his words on a repeat in my head which made a tear fall from my eye and roll down my cheek. He lied to me… It was al
The Player's Playmate Secret's Out
Xander’s POV“I know your little secret, Xander Theodore King.” I heard someone saying just as I came out of the class to make my way to Ellie’s locker. I turned to find Gavin, one of the guys from the football team standing right next to the door of the class. “Big deal, Gav! The whole school knows my whole name. It’s not a secret.” I said as I rolled my eyes. I turned around and started walking to Ellie’s locker. Today was our one month anniversary and I was going to do everything in my power to make sure that she was happy today. I had already planned our date for after the school got over.Ellie and I have been going strong even after Ellie found out that I was hiding something from her. The twins tried to bring it up and make me confess everything to her but it looked like she didn’t want to know. I knew that she wanted me to tell her everything on my own but I was a coward. I wasn’t going to tell her the truth. Besides, I love her now. I feel exactly wha
The Player's Playmate The Starting of the End
“Hey, Ellie!” I heard someone say just as I got out of the house. I looked up to find Ace standing a few feet away. My eyes grew wide. Crap! Did he hear about me and Xander being a couple?Ace and I haven’t talked after the day at the restaurant more than a month ago when I told him about how I didn’t feel like we could be something other than friends. I have no idea where he has been since then. It wasn’t like I didn’t care. I was just giving him some space. I didn’t want to rub it in his face. I just wanted him to take his time and get over it all. “Hey, Ace.” I said as I smiled nervously. My eyes went to Xander’s house to see that he wasn’t out yet. But he could come out of his house any second. Xander was supposed to be my ride to school like always and I knew he was about to leave his house now. I was just nervous to see his reaction on seeing Ace here at this time.Xander will surely get mad!“I know that you have to go to school but I just wanted to talk to yo
The Player's Playmate Hot and Sweet
“A frog can sing better than you, Mace!” Jason said with an eye roll making me laugh. Mason scoffed as he hit the back of his twin’s head. “I seriously sang better than every singer out there!” Mason said in a proud tone, making us all laugh. He pouted like a child as we all continued to laugh. Me, the twins, Damien and Xander were currently sitting in my living room, relaxing after the tiring day at school. Kara was at her house and Liam had to help his little brother with some stuff and so he wasn’t here either. I was sitting between Damien and Xander on the carpeted floor while the twins were sitting directly in front of us on the floor as well.“Mace, please stop with your jokes! You are going to make me cry because of laughing so hard!” Xander said as he tried to stop himself from laughing. “At least I am not the guy who is keeping a potentially awesome singer from becoming a famous celebrity!” Mason remarked making me furrow my eyebrows at him in confusion. Wha
The Player's Playmate Searching for trust and truth
“Jace, do you believe in keeping secrets?” I asked as Jace and waited in the line for our turn. Jason instantly stiffened and gulped while I acted nonchalant as I stared at the girl who was currently giving her order. We were all at the fast food restaurant. After watching a movie, we were all tired so we decided to eat something. Kara and Liam were currently doing some shopping since Kara wanted to and so I decided to just question the twins now.When we all entered the shop, I told Damien to keep Xander and Mason distracted while I went to order for us all with Jason.Yes, I am cornering the one I think will be easier to break. And no, I am not ashamed in the least!“I don’t.” Jason answered, keeping it short. I nodded my head at that. I huffed as I saw the girl starting to flirt with the guy taking her order. Can’t she just drop her number for the guy and leave?“Don’t you think that that girl is taking forever? I mean, can’t she just flirt with the guy after his shi
