CHAPTER 3
January
Mallebrooke. High.
Or what Xavier likes to call it, Hell. He hoped off his bike as he walked through the doors of the school. He was somewhat popular on this school. Though only a junior, he was known as a 'bad boy', his good looks but frightening aura somehow attract the girls, much to his dismay.. He wasn't a player, no his mother raised him to be respectful and he'd rather go to the gym than suck a girl's face anyway.
Once he reached his locker, locker 234, he pulled out his books and slammed it shut, only to reveal Sam leaning against the locker beside him.
“Yo. How's your morning?” Sam asked with a raised eyebrow. His arms crossed on his chest as his shoulder was squared. Xavier grunted from his memory of this morning..
“Morning Mum. ” Xavier said as he kissed his mother's cheek and sat on the dining table with his 9 year old sister, Sheila.
“morning. But you're not getting out on this one Xavier.” his mum, Elise, said with a huff as she sat on the chair to eat. Xavier visually gulped as Sheila chuckled.
“Now, I know I let you fight on the streets but you should've called me young man. You got me worried sick!” Elise said calmly but stern at her son. Xavier's mind was wondering to a certain split eye color girl from last night as his mum scolded him..
“yeah I know, sorry mum. I won't do it again.” Xavier replied meekly as Sheila snickers at him. He washed his dishes and took his bag and keys, bolting out the door.
“You better! Or I'll skin you alive!” He heard his mother shouted as he turned on his bike and left. His mum can be truthful with her threats that It's scary..
“Fine... What's your scheduling this year?” Xavier asked as they agreed to show each others.
Homeroom. Mrs. White
AP Maths. Mr Humphrey
Free Period.
AP Science. Mr. Keane
AP English. Ms. Stain
Lunch.
Arts. Mrs. Quinton
AP History. Mr. Tong
Gym. Mr. Anderson.
Huh. We have the same schedule.. They thought silently. Passing the busy corridors of the school, something —or someone— caught his eyes.
No way.. Xavier thought as he lunged and ran after the familiar girl he saw last night. He began chasing after her, with Sam hot on his trail.. Brown hair with dark highlights. When he finally caught up with the girl, he spun her around, only to met with the same girl.
“It's you....”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Annalissa was on her way to her locker after sending her brother and parking her Ferrari. At school she was different, she wore an eyepatch that covered her left eye and baggy clothes to hide her figure. She was a loner but she wasn't bullied, no. She once punched a guy who tried to grab her a*s. She was lost in thought until she felt a hand on her shoulder and spun her around, only to be met with a pair of emerald eyes towering over her.
“It's you....” he muttered. She knew he would ask questions but luckily, she was saved by the bell, literally. She immediately sped off, not looking back once.. leaving him flabbergasted at her..
When he was out of sight, she walked to her locker, locker 555, at the end of the hall. She began tossing her bag and grab her books for her next few classes. She looked over her schedule..
Homeroom. Mrs. White
AP History. Mr. Jackson
Free Period.
AP Science. Mr. Keane
AP English. Ms. Stain
Lunch.
Arts and Drama. Mr. Xanax
AP Maths. Mrs. Gale
Gym. Mrs. Black
Homeroom... eh. Whatever..
When she reached her assigned classroom, she walked in, making everyone look at her, stopping their chatter. The teacher clearly wasn't please with tardiness on the first day of school. She told the teacher of her locker placement which is at the other end of the hallway so she got let out.
“alright. Go sit in the back.” Mrs. White sighed, returning to her papers. The class resumed their chattering too. As Annalissa went to the back, she was immediately met with two familiar faces. Xavier and Sam.
“What.. ”Xavier started clearly confused how this girl was in his class. From what he guessed, she was supposed to be younger. She only kept silent and took a seat behind him. Frustrated, he turned behind, facing her head on.
“Aren't you younger than me?” he asked.
“..Yes.” just one word was his reply. He tried again.
“how old are you?”
“16” again one word reply. As he was beginning to lose his patience, Sam tapped his shoulder.
“don't. She never talks at school here anyway. Remember what I told you last night?” Sam asked and Xavier nodded, recalling his words from yesterday.
“Meet me at the gym after school.”
“Yeah, until then wait.” That was his final words as they resumed their class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After school, Annalissa was walking to her car when she caught sight of Sam and Xavier. They must be investigating me now.. she thought.
But she didn't really care, as long as he obeyed the first two rules, the third doesn't really matter. As she continued to walk, Sam stood right in front of her, causing her to nearly head-butted him.
“What?” she asked irritatedly.
“Can Xavier join us? Tonight?” Sam pleaded. Tonight? She mentally asked. What's tonight for? Then it suddenly hit her, today was the first day of school, the teenagers' bachelor party.. or so they like to call it. They did it every year with some extravaganza things that sure to go wrong. Not that she cared.
“Sure. ” and with that word she left. Picking up a certain boy on the way home..
¿(—_—)√ || ╰（￣▽￣）╭
“Lisa!!! ” Alec screamed as he ran to her, pulling along a black haired girl with him. Annalissa squat down to his height and ruffled his hair, making him pout and the girl beside him giggled. A small smile appeared on Annalissa's face, much to the two even the observing teacher's surprise.
That kind yet loving smile.
Alec knew his sister rarely smiled. As if something bad would happened if she did. But during that time she did, her smile was the most brilliant smile of all. Even the members' spirit would grow warm when they saw their boss's rare smile. But he would do anything to make his sister smile like he used to remember, without scars and pain in them.
“Lisa! This is Sheila! ” Alec shouted, pulling the girl –Sheila– to his side,.right in front of Annalissa. Sheila was shy to meet her crush's sister, but she looked younger than her older brother. Her face was stoic but the air around her was inviting. She fidgeted under her gaze.
“I'm.. Sheila. Sheila Rosetta Collins.” she introduced herself shyly. Collins? Isn't that the same as Xavier COLLINS? Annalissa thought. Silence grew around them. Luckily for them, Alec broke the tension.
“um... Can Sheila come to our place? ” Alec asked timidly. This was a new side of him to Annalissa. But she knew why, he has a crush.
“I don't mind. But you have to ask your mum.” Annalissa said, turning to Sheila. Just then, Sheila heard her name being called. She turned and saw her mother standing there waving her over, but stopped midway when she saw her daughter was with a boy. Ulala! So she walked over to them.
“Mommy! Can I play with Alec today?” she asked in a sweet, innocent voice.
“Sure. But I'll tell Xav to pick you up, alright?” her mother answered nicely, then turn to Alec and Annalissa.
“And who might you be young man?” she asked.
“Oh! I'm Alec! Aleckay Zephyr Winters!” Alec announced proudly of his name to the woman. Though his name was unique like his sister's, which they both got foreign blood from their mum's side of the family that they never met. It was beautiful too.
“Well hi there. You can call me Elise. And you might be...?” she trailed off, hoping for Annalissa to answer her question.
“Annalissa Winters. Nice to meet you.” she spoke politely. Elise gave an approving nod and smiled brightly at them.Why that name sounds familiar? she thought but brush it off.
“okay. Then we'll pick you up at 8. Okay?” Elise asked her daughter who bobbled her head up and down. And waved goodbye one last time before driving off to her car. Annalissa then felt someone tugging her jeans. She squatted down to to his eye level as he whispered to her ear.
“You know I really, really like Sheila right? So can I tell her our secret? ” Alec asked innocently. Annalissa contempted for awhile before asking the million dollar question at Sheila.
“Is Xavier Collins your brother?” she asked. Confusion written on Sheila's face before she nodded. Annalissa did a double intake.
He's more involved than I thought.! Alec's crush is the guy's sister. The damn guy I've been avoiding!
Well damn. s**t just got real...

Alec: S-Shut up! (Blushing furiously )

Annalissa: What are we doing here anyway?
Huh? Oh yeah! Advertising! Wishing luck for me please cuz I really need it! Tomorrow I'm taking my Chinese test which I always fail miserably.. (even though I'm half Chinese)
Sheila: What's Chinese?

Xavier: Alright! Stop!! Your logic is killing me! Oh and good luck.. I guess. *Though you'll still fail like every other time*
