All Chapters of THE GAME: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

       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?

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

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

Xander's P. O. VA smile tugged my lips on my way home. The date went well and am glad. And she wasn't as crazy as I expected her to be. She sure is a chameleon. She could almost make me forget Lucy, I said to myself. Parking my car at the garage, I got off the car and walked inside. I was about to go in my room when I saw Xavier sitting quietly on a chair staring into a picture frame. When he noticed he wasn't the only one in the room he looked up at me." Hey, where were you?" He asked, his voice sounded hoarse, as if he'd been crying. I hesitated a bit before replying." On a date?.... With Natalie." He looked at me, his expression blank before turning back to the picture. As if he knew what I wanted to ask he spoke up." Today's is mum remembrance. And you forgot. Everyone forgot." He slowly said.What the hell!! I checked the date on my phone and truly it was... What the hell was I thinking about??Natalie, my subconscious reminded." Even dad

Natalie's P. O. VIt was physical education class, and Mira and I were out on the fields doing warm-up exercises. We jogged around the field while discussing." I'm so tired!" I complained while stifling a yawn. " When will this end?"" Tired? That's strange. What happened?" Mira asked while stretching." I barely slept last night, and it's getting to me now," I complained. " What were you doing up all night?" Mira asked." Nothing. Just couldn't get any sleep." I said. " Why don't we go get some water, I'm exhausted," I suggested. " Sure." We left the fields to a nearby stall to get some water while catching our breaths. Right that instant, the boys jogged past us. Since we were in separate classes, we don't get to see much of them in school except for lunch and P. E classes. I tried to ignore them, but Mira nudged at me and I looked in their direction.As if attuned by my presence, Xavier looked in my direction and our gazes met. I s
