Chapter 76
XAVIER’s POV
Delaney laughed hysterically as I tickled her.
“Xa…vier…s. t…op.” She said in between laughter, trying to swat my hands away.
“Beg me.” I smirked as I continued to tickle her.
“Pl…ease…Xavier…stop.” Her words broke as tears rolled down her cheeks, with her still laughing uncontrollably.
I smirked and finally stopped tickling.
She wiped her tears and frowned her face.
She rolled her eyes and turned to face the other side of the car, with her gaze outside the window.
“Are you mad at me? I’m sorry okay?” I apologized and tried to touch her but she pushed my hands away.
“Delaney, please I’m sorry.” I cooed softly and held onto her arm but she ignored me like I wasn’t talking to her or even close to her.
“Delaney, don’t be mad at me. I won’t tickle you next time okay? Stop giving me the silent treatment.” I whined and hugged her from behind.
She wriggled out of my embrace and without even knowing how she swiftly turned, I received a very hard knock on my head.
What?
Holy moly!
She stuck out her tongue mockingly and smiled.
“I’m not angry with you anymore okay? The knock was more than enough.” She laughed.
“Delaney!” I was literally speechless.
This girl is so unpredictable.
I rubbed my hurting head and winced.
Gosh!
That did hurts a lot.
We arrived at school in no time and the chaffeur parked in the school’s parking lots.
As I made to alight, I quickly stole a kiss from Delaney and hurriedly alighted from the car.
When she alighted too, she glared at me – playfully and I could swear I saw her cheeks were reddened, but it wasn’t too obvious but surely, she did blush.
Oh my!
Guess, she likes it when I kiss her even it’s unexpected.
Her lips is like an addiction ever since the day I kissed her. And mere looking at her all the time, her lips always entice me and it’s screams *kiss me!*
When she pouts, oh Lord! It’s as if I should just kiss her senselessly without caring about our surroundings, but then again, I don’t.
I only get to steal kisses from her when we are not within sight especially in front of mom.
And I know she craves for more just like I do.

ALICIA’s POV ????
I got ready for school and ate breakfast with mom. It was a very quiet breakfast.
I thanked mom and left for school.
During the ride to school in a cab, I kept fantasizing on me being driven to school by luxuries cars, just like the ones that drives Chelsea to school and take her home.
I thought of how I would own my own bodyguards and they’ll bow at me and open the door of the car for me.
How I would majestically alight and all eyes would be on me – enviously looking at me.
Gosh!
I hope that one of these days, it won’t only be a fantasy but reality.
I sighed lowly and stared outside the cab window.

As soon as I got to school, I suddenly got nervous. Nervous because, I’ll be giving Xavier the necklace.
Now, not as if I don’t know the owner of the necklace, but strangely enough, I don’t want to give it back to her.
I don’t know why, but I just don’t want to return it anymore. I had the chanced to return it but I didn’t and now, I don’t want to give it to her.
I know she already accepted the fact that she lost it and she isn’t having it back.
I’ll tell Xavier not to wear it to school or when he wants to, he should tuck it in inside his sleeves.
That aside, I walked deeper into the school compound.

“Hi Xavier.” I smiled shyly at Xavier whose hands were tucked inside his trouser pockets and his gaze on me, with no expression whatsoever, just a plain look.
“Yeah.” He replied, perfunctorily and popped out the chewing gum in his mouth.
Wow! He looked really cute doing that.
Everything he does is always cute.
‘so, we’ve talked before. In case you don’t remember, I was the girl that gave you a drawing of yourself.” I smiled lightly.
“Okay?” He rolled his eyes.
Geez! He’s too arrogant but I still like him.
‘so, I just wanted to hand you this – it’s a gift from me to you and I hope you like it.” I smiled and stretched out the necklace that was wrapped in a fancy small box, towards him.
He looked at the box and then, me.
I suddenly felt scared that he might reject it but after few seconds, he surprised me by taking it from me.
He wasn’t smiling as he took it from me.
“You can open it.”
He hesitated for a while before he opened the box.
He stared at the necklace and it was a long stare – like he was trying to remember something.
It can’t be right?
He doesn’t know who it belongs to right?
My heart was thumping loudly against my chest – I felt so scared.
He closed the box and stared at me, “thank you.”
I breathed out a sigh of relief and smiled at him.
I watched as he majestically walked out of the hallway, diverting into the biology lab.
I smiled to myself and walked away too.

XAVIER’s POV
I was a bit shocked when the crimes of the B3 girls were announced during the assembly in the morning.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
I wasn’t too shocked because I suspected them anyways.
Chelsea apologized to Delaney and also to me again and we forgave her – Delaney and I.
*
As I sat class, doing nothing, my mind suddenly went back to the necklace Alicia had given to me.
It looked strangely familiar but I couldn’t remember exactly where I had seen it before. I don’t know if I had seen it on Alicia but it looked familiar.

During lunch time, I decided to do what I’ve been longing to do.
Delaney and Chelsea were seated at the same booth while Rio and I were standing in front of the cafeteria.
I had told him of my plans before break and he had supported me.
The cafeteria was filled and the students were quiet – and that’s because, Rio and I were both standing in front of them and they already had the idea that I was gonna say something.
When everybody were both seated and calm, I cleared my throat and began, ‘so, you all know that prom is around the corner already and I haven’t chosen my date for the prom like you all are expecting.
Well, I’ll be doing that today…” I paused and darted my eyes to the students and all eyes were on me, expectantly.
‘so, my prom date would be no other person than…”
