THE SNAKE GIRL --- Xavier Thrope X Nyla Roxx

~TWO~

Me and Xavier got done fencing and we were walking too our next class sharing an umbrella. I don't know why but this is when I wanted to make a move. I look at him, look down at his hand, and move my hand closer to his. Our hands didn't even touch when I heard him scream "Wednesday!" and ran to save her.

Next thing I knew we were in the nurse's office waiting for Wednesday to wake up.

I was standing behind Xavier rubbing my hands through his hair in a comforting way.

"I hope she's ok," he says worriedly. "I'm sure she fine," I move down and rap my arms around his shoulders and put my hand on his head. He put his hand on my arm as a way of returning the show of kindness. I move my head and arms back up a little bit flustered.

Xavier looked at Wednesday and saw her eyes move. He stood up to get a better look and I moved closer. That's when she woke up

"Welcome back," She sat up and Xavier sat back down, and I retreated to my old spot behind Xavier.

"The nurse said you don't have concussion, but you probably have a nasty bump, huh?" I spoke. "The last thing I remember I was walking outside feeling a mixture of rage, pity, and self-disgust," Wednesday said "I've never felt that way before,". "Ya, losing to Bianca has that effect on people, I think," Xavier said.

   "Then I looked up and saw that gargoyle coming down and I thought, 'At least I'll have an imaginative death.' Then you tackled me out of the way," she said staring at Xavier. "Why?" Xavier responded, "call it instinct,"

"So, you were guided by latent chivalry, the tool of the patriarchy, to extract my undying gratitude?" Wednesday snaps. "Most people just say thank you," I said with some egression behind it. "I didn't want to be rescued," me and Xavier both looked so confused. "So, I should have just let that thing smash you to mush?" he asked with confusion. "I would have rather saved myself," she says annoyed.

"Good to see you haven't changed," Xavier scoffed. Me and Wednesday looked confused. "If it makes you feel any better, let's just I returned the favor,"

I was even more confused at this "Xavier Thrope?" she didn't seem to remember him. "You probably don't remember me. Last time we met, I was about two feet shorter and, 40 pounds heavier," Wednesday still looked confused "What happened?" she asked. "Puberty, I guess," he shrugs. "I meant what happened the last time we met?" I giggled at this.

"It was my godmother's funeral. She was friends with your grandmother, and they spent their twenties in Europe, swindling the rich notorious. I don't know, but we were ten, and we were bored, decided to play hide and seek. I had the inspired idea to hide in her casket. I got stuck as it was headed to the crematorium," Wednesday looked like she finally got it. "I'd heard muffled screams. I just figured your godmother had cheated death and was trying to claw her way out,"

"Either way, you hit the big red stop button and saved me from being flame-broiled. So, now were even," Wednesday was smirking I don't know why but I was jealous.

"Looks like your all better now so I'm going to leave now," I snapped. I was walking out when Xavier started to follow me out. he caught up with me and held my hand and squeezed it. I don't know if he knew i was jealous, but he knew something was wrong. We swayed our hands back and forth as we walk to our next class.

           ~~TIME SKIP~~

It was after school, and me and Xavier were hanging out in his dorm since Rowan wasn't coming back. We were laughing about some dumb joke Xavier made until I realized what time it was. "Xavier, could I possibly spend the night its way too late to go back to my dorm," he seemed kind of confused about that, but he said yes, and I went to take a shower.

Since I didn't have any of my clothes here, I was just going to sleep in a pair of his shorts and a shirt. "Nyla, I can just sleep on the floor," he suggested. "No, I can sleep on the floor. It's your bed," we argued about it for a few minutes until he said, "How about he both sleep on the bed," "That sounds good," I said, and we both got on the bed. My head was on his chest and his arm around my waist, that's how we fell asleep.
