Mag-log in•••••Aaria's POV•••••
When Benny told me that Xavier was sitting behind me, I got nervous.
I just wanted this period to end as soon as possible.
So I kept my head down. When it ended, Benny called me and when we were in the hallway Xavier called me and wanted to come with us. I was shocked but I was surprised that I was not the only one who was confused.
Even Benny was finding it hard to believe that he wanted to come with us. It was the most awkward walk.
Benny and I were walking ahead and he was trailing behind us. Benny's class came and she told me to meet at the same place. I don't want to go with Xavier.
He makes me nervous. I don't know why. He's different but doesn't know-how.
I'm afraid that he'll be like others and one day he will start to bully me. I don't want to be close to anyone because once they know about my past, once they know that I killed my own family, they'll leave me.
Just like the others left. I was trying to reach class as soon as possible, so I started to walk faster in order to avoid him, but he had other plans.
He caught up with me and started to talk.
Xavier: Are you sick? ( asks nervously)
Aaria: Huh? N....no. Why? ( What's up with him? )
He starts to rub his neck. He seems nervous, but why is he nervous after making me nervous?
Xavier: You were looking down during the whole period. That's why( nervously)
Aaria: No, I'm fine. (Awkwardly) .. You were loo... Looking? (confused)
( Ohh shit I didn't mean to ask it out aloud, but why was he looking at me? Am I in trouble? God, please save me now)
Why is looking at me like I'm his prey?
Ohh god, I just want to run away.
Please look somewhere else.
Xavier: Wait. Stay still (continuously looking towards me)
Aaria: Huh? ( Confused) ( did I do something? Why is he continued staring at me? Is there something on my face?)
Xavier: What happened to your head? (pointing at my bandage)
(Oh shit, shit he saw my head)
Aaria: No....nothing. I... I just sli... slipped (hiding her bandage with her hair and looking down)
Please don't ask anything else please (praying in her mind)
Wait why is he coming towards me, please don't come near me. I felt a hand touching me and I flinched. Please stay away. (Taking a step back)
Xavier: I won't hurt you. Just let me take a look( slowly taking a step towards me)
Aaria: It. It's okay. (scared and nervous)
No please ( Praying in her mind)
Xavier: It'll only take a second (He holds my head again and removes my hair and starts to inspect my head) Are you sure that you're fine? (he asked while looking at my head)
Omg, I have got goosebumps, my heart is beating fast. If he comes closer, then he'll definitely hear my heartbeat. I'm sure that my face is red as a tomato, I should do it or else I'll definitely embarrass myself in front of him.
Aaria: Ye...Yeah. W... We're getting late. (sputtering)
Leave Aaria to leave...
I hurriedly moved back and started to walk towards the class. When I was about to enter the class, from the corner of my eyes I saw Ethan and Daxton standing and looking at me more like staring.
I hurriedly went inside and sat down.
Thank god that class is almost empty now. So I chose a seat on the middle bench so that I could avoid them but I was so wrong about it because the next thing I know is that Ethan came and sat on my left side.
He even moved to his bench near me. Daxton sat in front of me. I could feel the cold aura around me.
Xavier entered after some time and Daxton sat on my right side and Xavier sat beside him.
Great, just great. I just want the earth to swallow me now.
I could feel Ethan's burning gaze on me but I tried my best to avoid it.
Suddenly I felt pain and electric shock in my arms, then I came out of thoughts when I realized that Mr.larson was calling me and it was Ethan who nudged me.
Mr Larson warned me and told me to focus, but how can I focus on this shitty situation?
My arm is still injured and when he touched, it started to hurt again.
But when he touched me I felt an electric shock at first, then pain.
Now my arms are hurting badly.
This day can't be any worse (sighs).
I just want this period to end quickly.
•••••Daxton's POV•••••
For the 1st time in my life, I got awake without anyone waking me up.
I was excited to meet that new girl. I don't know, but I feel connected to her.
I want to know her.
She's different. I could tell this after looking at her eyes yesterday but I was too pissed to see or realize anything.
I feel an unknown urge to protect her. I don't know what it is and in order to find it, I need to get close to her. Because I never felt this way.
I saw fear in her eyes. She's the 1st girl who made me curious about her. I just met her for a few minutes but already feel attached to her.
I avoided Xavier's and Ethan's questions because I don't want to tell them about them yet.
I walked straight towards my locker with them without flirting and started to look for the mysterious girl in the hallway but I couldn't see her.
I checked my schedule and saw that my next class was Maths, so it means she'll be there.
We entered the 1st class and I tried to focus but I couldn't for reasons.
1= That mysterious girl
2= Ethan. He was continuously tapping his feet on the floor the whole period long. Like he wanted to this period to end now.
I was getting irritated, but I couldn't say anything. Somehow I tolerated the 1st class.
As soon as the bell rang Ethan hurriedly walked out of the class, leaving me alone.
Why is he in a hurry now?
I could see that he was disturbed for a few days and when I asked he refused to talk about it.
Soon, I followed him but when we were near the next class, I bumped into Ethan and saw him standing still with both his hands clenched into fists. I saw him looking at something angrily.
Now, who's last day is this? (Rolling his eyes)
I followed his gaze and was shocked. I saw Xavier intimately holding the head of a mysterious girl and saw that she was standing still like a statue.
What the hell is he doing with her? (it was the only question that was running in my mind)
Why are his hands are on her head??
Wait, am I jealous??
No, I'm not(reasoning himself)
But why is Ethan angry now??
Before I could think anything else I saw Ethan angrily started to walk towards them but stopped in a mid way when he saw that the mysterious girl hurriedly left Xavier standing there and entered into the classroom.

•••••Aaria's POV•••••I suddenly opened my eyes but closed them instantly because of the bright light.I slowly opened my eyes again and adjusted them to bright light.I saw a white ceiling. As far as I remember, the ceiling of my room is dark purple.I heard some distant voices and confusedly got up and the pain shot through my arms.I realized that my right hand was connected to an IV drip.Am I in the hospital?I looked around and saw that I was alone and in unfamiliar surroundings too.
•••••Ethan's POV•••••This idiot friend of mine is not giving up on that useless idea of his.I just want to beat and fix his brain.Sometimes I think about how I have tolerated him for the last 19 years.I didn't like the way he held her hand and dragged her.Sometimes I want to shout or beat him for doing this.

I got up from my bed and opened my drawer and took Aspirin and gulped it with water.I laid back and kept looking aimlessly in the darkness. After some time, I felt my eyes getting heavy and fell asleep." Aaria "" Sweetie "I felt someone shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes and saw my aunt looking at me worriedly.
•••••Xavier's POV•••••I somehow controlled my laughter by biting my inner cheeks.I looked towards Aaria and saw her scrunching her eyebrows in confusion, which made it harder for me to control myself from laughing.After some time, I relaxed and tried to focus on my lessons.When the class ended, I grabbed Daxton's things and we walked out of the class and saw him leaning against the wall and looking up at the ceiling.After noticing us, he angrily came towards us stomping his foot and harshly snatched his bag from me.He was looking like an angry child who lo
