9. Two Monsters...

I woke to the sound of Bianca Barclay's voice. She was shouting, furiously. "I CAN TELL, WEEMS, ABOUT YOUR LITTLE CRASH LAST NIGHT." She screams at Xavier. "Oh come on Bianca, don't act like you've never slept over." He fought back, lifting up a jacket he threw on the floor last night. Then it hit me. Xavier had stayed all night... "Besides, I doubt Weems will care about anything that we do." He continue, walking towards the door as he was about to leave. "Do you remember when you were in love with ME Xavier, when she didn't matter to you." He scoffed at what Bianca had said, "For the record, I cared about her longer than I ever cared about you... And trust me, I didn't care about you for too long." He storms off, slamming the door on his exit. "Unbelievable" Sighed Bianca, grabbing something from her desk as she shortly followed... At least I didn't have to pretend to be asleep anymore... SHIT. I was going to be late to Mrs Thornhills class... Again.

Arriving into class late again, everyone was discussing the Rave'N dance. "Miss, Lind. Care to explain why you're so late." Mrs Thornhill scowled at me as I walked to my seat not acknowledging the fact that I'd forgot to say anything to her as I walked by... Taking my seat I looked up to her, the class silence starting to feel overwhelming. "No mrs, unfortunately I don't have a good reason" everyone burst out laughing. What I said wasn't funny though, it was just because that's not how anyone would normally speak to teachers. She gave me a sarcastic smile as the lesson continued...

I'm not going to lie, Im completely freaking out about the Rave'N I don't have a dress, a date, I don't even know if I wanted to go anymore but considering everything that's been going on between me and Thorpe... I might actually have the courage to ask him this year. Hopefully... Gazing over to Wednesday and Xavier, I see him having trouble, Wednesday noticed too. However he told me to not tell the truth to anyone else, so I guess that's what he'd be telling Wednesday too.... At least, if she asks...

"He's obviously hiding something" Wednesday coldly says, looking my direction. "No, I don't think he is" I reply bluntly, hiding behind a tree with Wednesday outside of Xavier's art shed kinda feels like a crime... "Here's the plan. I'm going in, you stand out here and wait for Xavier, come up with something stupid. Maybe ask him to the rave'N" Wednesday whispers me her plan, "I'm not ask-" I feel thing climb up my body and places himself over my mouth to stop me from speaking. I turn towards the door of Xavier's shed, he's walking away... plan Wednesday is a go.

"Lind?" I hear a voice say from behind me, turning my body around I see Xavier, "what are you doing here?" He questions me and looks around to check if there's anyone else here. "Yeah, sorry I uh. I was looking for you. Mainly to check if you were okay after last night." He looked to the ground and smiled at my response "let me get this straight, you followed me here, just to ask if I was okay?" He chuckled and I looked at his eyes, I nodded. I hate this. I hate lying to his face.

"Anything else?" He pushes further. It's now or never. At least this part of Wednesdays plan was the part I was planning on doing anyway. "I was-" I started laughing a bit, looking to the ground then back up at him. "I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Rave'N with me?" He took a step forward... one that was too close for comfort. "Lind, of course I'll go with you." He says, taking the palm of his hand to my left cheek. I smiled. At least that was until Wednesday came through the door... "human interaction is gross." Is all she says before leaving.... "Wait Wednesday, what were you doing in there!?" He shouts, she just walks away... he looks to me "did you know she was in there, Lind?" I hate betrayal and lying, but I don't want Xavi to know that I'm in this with Wednesday. And he's one of her top suspects, if not THE TOP suspect...

"I didn't know she was in there, do you think she saw anything?" I ask, keeping my voice low. If I knew anything... the only thing I know is that I need to keep Wednesday from suspecting Xavier. I know he's innocent but nothing I say is going to change her opinion of that, because, maybe then she'd suspect me too. If she figured out that I have the exact same scratches that Xavier has, It would almost look as if there were two of us. Two monsters...

A/N: Sorry for taking literally 2 months for an update but I lost a bit of motivation for it. However I have decided that I wanna finish this fic no matter how big the gaps between the updates are. I am determined to finish this and have it be my second fully finished fic :)
