“How did you two get out?” Damien asked me, making my cheeks warm up at the memory.

“That is not important. The important thing is that we got out. So, what are they going to do?” I said, changing the topic. I was in the car with Xander, heading home after our escape. Damien had called me to inform me that he wasn’t able to get out. He was just about to get out of the school when Mrs Krampe caught him.

Poor fellow…

“They were going to take the three of us to the principal’s office but then Mrs Reyes stepped in and said that she doesn’t want that. Apparently, she was a little amused that the twins tried something to make her remember them forever.” Damien told us.

“So, it’s just detention?” Xander asked. The phone was on speaker so that Xander could talk too while he drove us home.

“Detention for a week for the twins and just today for me since I warned Mrs Reyes about the prank. My only crime according to them is running in the hallways.” Damien answered.

    “Ellie, why do I love you?” Xander questioned as he started at the ceiling of my room while lying on my bed. I picked up my phone and lied down next to him on my bed. “Because I am awesome.” I shrugged. He turned his face and looked at me while I stared at my phone’s screen. I haven’t gotten any texts from Gavin and I didn’t even see him much in school after our date. It was like he was avoiding me. “Stop staring like a creep, Xan!” I snapped at him without turning to him as he continued to stare at me silently. “No, I don’t love you because you are awesome. That is Mason’s reason for loving you. What is my reason?” Xander replied. I turned my head to look at him. He was frowning at me. “Is it because I am pretty?” I guessed as I smirked at him. He scowled at that and shook his head. “That’s Damien’s reason.” he grumbled. I laughed as he pouted and glared at the ceiling in anger. Xander was drunk. And he was a cute drunk. It was Friday night, so the boys and I had gon

    “Oh my god! I am dying! Ellie, save me!” Xander exclaimed as he walked into the kitchen where I was just putting the waffles on the plates. He looked really tired as he held his head in his hands as if it was just about to explode. This is usually what happens every time Xander wakes up after drinking more than he should. “No need to yell, drama queen. The pills are where they are supposed to be. Just take those and I have made waffles for breakfast. Freshen up fast or else I’ll eat them all.” I told him as I took the plates and placed them on the table. Xander took the pills and went to the washroom to freshen up when I heard the doorbell. I ran to the door to find the guys and Kara standing on the other side with huge grins on their faces. I welcomed them all inside. Mason sniffed the air like a dog before his eyes grew wide.“Did you make waffles for breakfast?” Mason yelled in excitement. I chuckled at him before nodding my head. “Ellie, I love you!” Mason said as he w

    “Hey, Gavin.” I greeted him as I took a seat next to him at the bleachers. The boys had their football practice and since I had nothing better to do, I decided to go to the library to wait for their practice to end. The librarian was leaving early and so she had to lock the doors and she asked me to leave. That is why I was here at the fields watching the guys as they practiced.When I saw Gavin asking the coach for a break and coming towards the bleachers, I decided that I should go and talk to him. I wanted to ask him what happened after our date, almost a week ago. I was still hoping that he would call me or text me but he didn't do so during the weekends. I believed that I deserved an explanation for all that.“Hey, Ellie. What are you doing here?” he said as he turned to me. He looked a bit scared as if I was about to punch him in the face. “I am waiting for the guys to finish their practice. Xander is my ride home.” I replied with a shrug. Gavin nodded his head as h

    “Ellie, why don’t you understand? I really like this girl. I’ve had a crush on her since… forever!” Xander said, making the others in the room chuckle. We had decided to meet up at my house after school since my parents were still not home. And right now as we all were arguing about what we should do, Xander asked me to help him win over another girl.“That’s what you said about Leah and the girl before her and the girl before her and…. Well every other girl that you have dated.” Jason snickered. “Well, I really like this one. For real.” Xander argued. “Really, when did you guys meet first?” Liam asked him as he smirked at Xander. “I don’t know that. All I know is that I like her now! Besides, I have gone without a girlfriend for too long now!” Xander grumbled. I chuckled at that, making him turn to me. “Why can’t you help me?” He asked. “Maybe because she is tired of it all?” Damien shrugged as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “Well, when you are tired, you should t

    “Good morning, Ellie.” Jason said as he smiled at me. He sat down in the seat next to me. I frowned at him. “What happened? Are you not talking to me either? I am Jason, just so you know.” He said when I didn’t reply. Yesterday, after I stormed off to my room, Xander and Mason came after me but I locked my door. They tried to make me leave my room for about two hours before they left. I was upset and angry. I didn’t want to talk to them. Those idiots even tried to bribe me with Pizza!In the morning, I called Damien and asked him to pick me up for school. I usually went to school with Xander but after what happened the day before, I didn’t want to go anywhere near him. I saw the hurt on Xander’s face when he saw me get in Damien’s car. But I just ignored it.I knew that I was being a little too harsh on my bestfriend but I couldn’t just let them do whatever they wanted. Xander and Mason needed to know that my freedom is important.“I know who you are, Jace. It’s just tha

    “So, your parents are finally back home?” Jason asked in a cautious voice.My mood wasn't the best today. My mom and dad came back home yesterday and we only had one peaceful meal before they told me that they were leaving again for work. I didn't know why that bothered me but my parents not being around anymore was starting to make me angry.When I was a kid, my parents did everything in their power to keep their business related trips to a minimum. And even when they had to go, they used to take me with them. But ever since I entered highschool, it felt as if they were trying to stay as far away from me as possible.“Only for a couple of days.” I answered Jason's question. “What? I thought they only came back after weeks of staying away!” Kara gasped. I huffed. “Ellie! Don't feel bad about it. You parents are only going because it must have been necessary.” Damien said. “Oh no! They are going because they can't bear to be around me. They hate me!” I said as I covered

    “Where is Xander?” I questioned as I looked at everyone at our table.It was our lunch break and Xander was nowhere to be seen. I haven’t seen that doofus since yesterday. This morning, he just texted me to tell me that he had asked the twins to pick me up for school.“Since you and him are back to normal, Xander is with that girl he said that he has a crush on now.” Liam told me.Well, that was… unexpected...“Liam, who was that girl?” I asked him as I narrowed my eyes at Liam. Liam looked at the others on the table for help. “That blonde girl. I don’t know her name.” Liam answered hesitatingly when no one helped him.“First, she is not a blonde. She has light brown hair. And second, why the hell are you lying to me? Why is he avoiding me?” I said, getting angry. Everyone was silent for a minute. “Ellie, how would we know where Xander is?” Mason asked as he tried to act nonchalant. “If none of you told me where that doofus is, you all will feel my wrath!” I warned

    “Ellie, where are we going?” Xander asked for the hundredth time as he pouted. “Somewhere I can kill you and dump your body!” I answered in a mock serious tone. Xander gasped. “But you love me and I love you!” He said. I ignored him. After about five minutes of silence, he spoke up again. “Are we eloping?” He asked with a cheeky smile. I rolled my eyes at him.I had somehow managed to get him out of the school and to his car without anyone spotting us. But the big problem now was deciding where would be a safe place to take him till he becomes a little sober.I sighed as I parked the car near the park. I have been driving around in Xander’s car, trying to figure out where I could take him while Xander asked me stupid questions and played with my hair. It was already the time for the school to get over. We had to head home. Our parents will be expecting us back soon.My phone suddenly pinged with a new message. I open my phone to see a message from Damien.DashingDamien:

    “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

    “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

    “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

    “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

    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

    “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

    “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.

    “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
