Her Will to Live

Chapter 5: Oblivious

XAVIER'S POV
"Well for starters, you're boyfriend? Aren't they fricking new here? Literally a few weeks ago you were all over the footy guys and now here you are trying to recruit more guys for whatever silly little game you're playing! Oh and you did not just accuse me of sexual assault. Why the hell would I ever do that? I don't even know the guys. I passed out wasted in an alleyway according to 'Xavier,' and he took me to the guest room in his house. You're story," the boys and I hear commotion coming from the cafeteria, "all of your damn story is wrong!" We see the same girl who I brought home storm out of the two swinging doors.

The doors slam behind her and I immediately realise this has all gone further than I'd ever intended. She barges her way through Kyle, Casey and I and we look over are shoulders to glance at the girl. "You're sick." She says with a sinister chuckle shaking her head in disbelief, and she points her finger directly at me before turning back around.

The boys watch in confusion and I have somewhat an idea as to what has gone down. She aggressively rips her bag out of my locker that is just in our view from where we are standing and she slams it shut walking out of our view.

"Bro what the hell was that?" Kyle questions, pushing his hood off revealing his brown hair.

"Shittt, I'll be back." I race through the glass door and run down the ramp to catch up to my brother. I push him on the shoulder ignoring the fact he is taller than me, has more muscle than me, and is supposed to be going to class by now.

"What's your deal man?" Tyler asks me moving his eyes from where I pushed him to me.

"My deal? What's your deal? What fucking rumours did you go around spreading?"

"I done what you wanted little brother. I told some harmless false information to get you, Kyle and Casey back to ruling the school like at our old school. You'd be an idiot to have changed your mind now." He tells me before dialling someone's number, clearly annoyed by my reaction.

"There you are." A whiny voice states. "I've been searching all over for you. Did you hear about what went down in the cafeteria? I wish you were there to witness me standing up for you baby." The girl who's name I learnt to know is Falon continues. "I'll never let that bitch close to you ever again. At least the whole school knows now so everyone will finally hate her. That's amazing right!" She leans in for a kiss and I lean away from it, subtly putting a hand in between us for space.

"Get the hell away from here before I-"

"Already leaving. I'll be back when you stop being so grumpy. Don't worry, she'll never be able to force herself on you again with me here!" Falon shouts proudly as she leaves me alone with my brother once again.

I process her words and out of instinct go to take a swing at my brother.

"Woah there." He grabs my fist and places it by my side.  "Hey I'll call you back." Tyler tells the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up. It's clear he didn't see that walking plastic surgery waltz right up here and leave again.

"You spread a rumour that Gracelyn forced herself on me! You're psychotic."

"Oi all I said was she stayed at your place last night. She seemed too nice to hurt so I was gonna lie to you and say I said something when really I didn't. All of a sudden I regret that decision though. Hmmm I wonder why??" Tyler leans into his hip, taps his chin and looks up at the sky pretending to think. "Oh that's right. My brothers a douche."

"Wait hold on- who'd you tell that to?" I ask curiously.

"Who'd I tell what to who?" My delirious brother asks.

"Who'd you tell Gracelyn stayed at my house too? Duh."

"Some plastic bimbo who had faker hair expressions than ya mum. She looked like the type who'd be good at telling some fake shit, so yeah. I told some random chick."

"Huh. Could be anyone," I realise.
