All Chapters of THE GAME: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Xavier's P. O. V" Why? Are you stalking me?" Natalie asked me. I stared at her in surprise." Of course not! Why would I? It just so happens that I meet you here."" Really?""Absolutely," I answered." I don't believe you." She muttered as she turned to her drink and was gently slurping it. I was tempted to almost do the same. " Well, that's your problem," I muttered. I heard her scoff. We continued with our drinks quietly, not talking to each other. I think it was better that way because I wasn't expecting to see her here. I glanced at her and on an impulse wanted to ask how her date with Xander went but decided otherwise because it might ruin the moment." Soo...." She began. " How's Xander?" " He's good." She nodded slightly before peering deeper into the store. " There's an arcade game at that corner over there. Want to play?" " Uh... Sure. "" You have a penny?"" A few coins."We walked over to the arcade a

Natalie's P. O. VWhile the class was in its full swing and everyone paying serious attention to whatever the teacher was saying, I was busy with my phone..... Texting Xavier.N: Hey, good morning. I sent to him and dropped the phone, drumming my fingers on the table. My phone vibrated and I hurriedly picked it up.XV: Good morning. Aren't you texting from classes?N: Kind of... Are you busy? Can we talk after school? XV: Sure... But what do you want us to talk about? I sighed before replying.N: You'll know when we meet. See you later. And with that, I dropped my phone and pretended to pay attention in class. I caught Mira staring at me with a questioning look on her face; I shrugged and she smiled. Well, I need to answer all that's going on....Xavier's P. O. VI stared at the last message I got from Natalie. She wants us to talk, but about what??? I racked my brain several times, but I could only come up with

Natalie's P. O. VAfter leaving Xander hanging last night, I had gone home angry and a little disappointed. True, he called countless times but I refuse to pick them up. I just needed time to think. Right now we're in school and just before I walk into class, someone stops me." I'm sorry..." A voice behind me says. I freeze and turn slowly. It's no other than Xander. Staring deep into his eyes I mutter, " Sorry about what?"" The way I acted last night. I know it's not the best... I wasn't thinking straight." He hurriedly explains." That's your excuse?"" Maybe... That's not all. Well, I guess I've buried this issue long enough long that every time someone talks about it, it pisses me off." He says with his hands in his pockets, looking at me skeptically. I made to say something, but then the bells rang so I sighed instead." I don't know what to tell you, Xander. I have to go now... Maybe we'll talk later?" I said and make my way to classes. I saw th

Natalie's P. O. V" Well, guess what? I don't know what to do." I said to Ariana. I had called her up immediately after I finished dressing up for school, hoping she'll have a bit of advice for me." Come on, Natalie. I know it's quite tricky... But you have to figure it out. Remember, you are in the middle of all of it."" And that's exactly the problem. From what I've heard, I can't pin the blame on Xavier. He might be innocent but I also can't accuse Xander. For goodness sake, it's his girlfriend we are talking about!"" Well, ex. That's why I'm saying you should stick around them for a while. Get to know the two better... Long enough to know if they can do this thing against each other."" What if I mess up?" I said, my voice lower than I intended.There was silence on the other line, but Ariana eventually spoke up." If there's one person I know discerns people more than anyone else, it's you, Natalie. A few days wouldn't hurt to know which br

Mira's P. O. VLast night was blissful as Darren and I kept talking and laughing. He eventually drove me home late in the night and gave me a good-night kiss. The second I entered the house, my mom gave me a knowing smile. I blushed and rushed to my room. Today Darren and I planned to arrive at school at the same time, to surprise Celine, of course.The second we both walked in with our arms linked, everyone's eyes were on us. Of course, Natalie had not yet arrived so she couldn't see us, but the Trio were all present. Bella was the first to notice us then, and she gawped and nudged at Celine, who in turn stared at us in disbelief. Yeah... Serves her right. Rumors and murmurs erupted in the air." Are they dating? They seem close!"" Darren's got himself a girlfriend? And it's... Mira??""Oh, I wish I was the one standing beside him!"" That girl Mira is so lucky. Darren sure has got eyes!"Celine came sprinting towards us, her eyes spilling with a
