Xander POV
As soon as we came to school, I went up the rooftop. Mom believe in being punctual so makes us come to school at least thirty minutes before time for the first class.
We have a private lounge her at school since our pack own about forty percent of the school. The rest on the pack members hang around there before the first period but I chose to at the rooftop most of the time because it is peaceful and quiet over there.
Just like this morning I was hanging out there when my phone suddenly rang. It’s Alissa calling me. I wonder what she wants.
“What do you?”. I went straight to the point.
“Hello you dear brother. That’s isn’t how you should greet someone, especially someone who brings you good news.” Alissa responsed.
“Good news?? what good news?” I questioned her.
“Well a certain someone came looking for you”. Alissa replied.
“Who?” I asked already losing interest in the conversation.
“That’s for me to know and for you to find out. Anyway I directed the person to the roof top she is on her way.” Alissa said and cut of the phone before I can say anything.
I just hope it’s not one of this fan girls that she told my location to because that’s means I have to change my serenity’s location.
There where s something about this humans. You tell you are not interested but the keep on following you even up to the extent of offering sex as if that’s going to make me like them. Ever since my first day in this school, I can’t remember how many girls have offer to have sex with me as if they are doing me a favor. There is more in live than sex.
A small part of me wish that it is Claire that is looking for me. But it can’t be right? What will she want from me.
I heard the door open and for some seconds, no one entered. I frowned hope it’s not Alissa playing pranks on me.
Just then someone came in and heart began beating very fast when I perceived the scent of the person. It’s is Claire my mate.
She stood still at the door before she started making her way to me with her head bow down while she walked. No no she is going to the stairs if she keeps walking like that. As soon as you enter the rooftop, the is a three stair you need to climb but most people don’t noticed it and end up falling.
“Hey watch out for the stairs!”. I shouted to her but it was too late, she has already falling.
Claire POV
“Watch out for the stairs!”. I heard Xander shouted but it’s already to late, i have hit the stairs and fall. Damn what I disgrace I have to fall in front of my crush. That’s very embarrassing. I made a silent vow to myself not to walk heads bow again.
“Hey are you okay”. Xander said and gave me his hands. But how? How did he get hear so fast. He was at the end part of the rooftop so it will have take him a minutes to reach me. But here is he at my side within seconds. I didn’t even here him move. That’s wide.
“Are you going to take my hand or are you comfortable on the floor”. Xander whose hand was still stretched out said with a smile on his hands.
I blushed in embarrassment and took his hands and immediately I stood up, I quickly lead go of his hands because once I held his hands, I left something like electric current pass through me. His hand was cold but felt good to hold. My crazy heart started beating very fast again. He must have felt the same thing with me or something similar because when he let go of my hand, he put his own hands in his pocket as if he wants to restrain them. Restrain them from what? I don’t know because if it’s from holding me, I wouldn’t mind. Just a minute of him holding me, I felt very alive.
“Are you okay?”. Xander asked with concern laced in him voice.
“Am fine thank you”. I replied still blushing from embarrassment.
“Okay”
“Okay”
And we both stood silently staring at each other with none of us talking.
“So…” we both said at the same time and laughed.
“Ladies first”. Xander said with a bow. I never knew he is this playful.
“Well I came to return this to you”. I said as I lift up the package in my hand. Hopefully the cupcakes are still intact.
“What’s this?”. He questioned.
“Oh I want to return your hoodie and umbrella and also to tell you thank you for the help yesterday”. I answered blushing.
“It’s fine you don’t have to thank me, like I said, it’s my pleasure helping you. You can keep the hoodie and the umbrella just in case you get caught up in the rain again and am not available to give you a lift”. He replied me with a smile on his face.
Awww he so sweet! I thought in my mind because I don’t want to say it out loud and embarrass myself again. And thank the heavens he is allowing me to keep his hoodie. I actually want to keep it but decide to return it to him because it’s the right thing to do
“Thank you but at least accept this as a thank you from me”. I took out the cupcakes box form the package and handed it over to him.
He took the box, opened it and took a bite.
“Yummy! Did you make this? It’s delicious”. He said as he took another bite. I was too shock to give him a reply so I just nodded my head at him.
I didn’t actually think he will eat it. I was expecting him to take and maybe later throw it or give it away.
“Why are you looking so shock.? Am I not supposed to eat it or what?”. He questioned me when he saw how shock I was.
“No it’s not like that! I just didn’t expect you to eat it now.” I explained my reaction.
Before he could say anything else, the bell rang. Why is the universe against me? This is an imperfect time to ring the bell.
“Well that’s the bell, it’s time to go to class, you won’t want to get a detention for coming late would you?”. Xander questioned and started making his way to the door.
“I would!”. I said silently. If he will be the reason why I will get a detention, then am willing. In fact am willing to get more than a detention for his same.
“ Look at you Claire, willing to mess up your academic record just for some guy” my subconscious pricked me.
“Well it isn’t just any guy.” I fired back. Xander is more than just a guy. There is some thing about him that keep drawing me to him.
“Are you not going for you classes? You still stand there and murmuring to yourself.” Xander who is already by the door turned to me and questioned me with the look of concern.
“There you go Claire! Acting as if you are crazy right in front of “The guy” you have a crush on. If you continue at this rate he his going to think you are really crazy. Which I believe you.” My subconscious mocked me.
“Am very fine, I was just thinking of something”. I said as I hurriedly made my way to his side. I watch out of the stairs as I reach the door because I didn’t want to fall for the second time today. We want out of the rooftop together to the last floor where the Avila’s private lounge is.
“Wait for me here! Let me go and drop this, I will excort you to your class.” Xander said as he went into the Avila’s lounge to drop up the cupcakes box and came out a minute after.
“Let’s go” And we made our way silently to my class. We stopped at the door of my class without any of us saying anything.
“Well here we are, I got to go for my own class too. See you later”. Xander said and started making his way out to his class.
“Bye!” I shouted and he waved his hand at him.
And then I entered my class with a big smile on my face.
