Lunch. The best part of this day so far besides Devin.

Devin and I made it back to my locker to see a crowd of people swarmed around it. The little crowd consisted of Taylor, Xavier, and Khalil. Crystal walked with Devin and I. "Was there a meeting being held without me?" I said jokingly. Khalil and Crystal laughed. I seen out the corner of my eye that Xavier tried his hardest not to crack a smile.

"Actually we were waiting for you. We were wondering where we're sitting at for lunch?" Khalil asked. "How about sitting in the sun? It'll be fun. Plus it's a nice day today." Crystal chimed in.

I shrugged my shoulders. I opened my locker and put my book bag inside. As we made our way towards the lunch room, Taylor eyed me down and clung to Xavier.

As if I wanted to talk to him.

We made it to the café and bought our lunch and headed to sit and eat lunch.

We found a table that wasn't completely full when we sat down and chatted. We all had a good time talking when I had to clear my throat. "Oh.. where are my manners. Guys this is Devin Li. Devin this is everyone."

I pointed at everyone and they waved and embraced Devin. Except for Xavier. He nodded his head and barely looked up. I ignored him and took another bite of my sandwich.

Crystal started to snicker. "What's funny?" I asked. "N-nothing." Crystal said stifling back a laugh. I licked around the corners of my mouth in case I had anything on them. "Did I get it?" I asked Crystal.

She shook her head no. Devin turned and seen me. He chuckled lightly. "Here love let me get that for you." Devin said as he reached for a napkin. I leaned my face in as he wiped my face for me.

Xavier shot his head up just in time for him to see Devin wipe my face. "She could've wiped that herself." Xavier grumbled as he stabbed his salad. "What was that sweetie?" Taylor asked Xavier rubbing up on his arm.

Xavier shot daggers at me and shook his head no and dropped his head back down. Taylor rested her head against Xavier's shoulder.

I was about to look away when a strand of her hair fell out of the way and her neck was on display. Her neck had a purple bruise on it.

A HICKEY!!

I dropped my head down to look like I was eating my sandwich and nudged Crystal's foot. Crystal raised her eyebrows at me and I showed her to look where I was looking with my eyes.

She looked over to where I looked and her eyes grew wider with realization. She quickly hid her expression by going back to talking to Khalil.

Xavier got up from the table and walked to throw his lunch anway and headed out the lunch room with his hands in his pockets.

*Xavier POV*

I stormed out of the lunch room to ignore the sight of them two together. Did she really stop talking to me cause of him? He isn't even all that. I went to the gym to clear my head. I grabbed a basketball and started dribbling it to half-court. I shot the basketball from half court and missed.

Fuckk!!

I ran over to where the ball had rolled away to when I stopped in my tracks when I heard someone talking. As is they were on the phone. They spoke in a hushed tone.

"T-Tomorrow? Are you sure?" They spoke.

Taylor?..

I heard her throw her phone away from her. "This can't be happening. H-How do I tell him.." She trailed off.

Who was she on the phone with? It sounded important enough to upset her.

I started to wonder what happened when something clicked.

All the constant throwing up, the mood swings, the weird cravings, her constantly having to pee. Taylor wasn't sick..

TAYLOR'S PREGNANT!!

And I'm the father...
