09: A Mansion?

Andrew's POV :

So he wants to game with me and tutor me huh. To say that I found it weird would be an understatement. Is he doing all this to make me forgive him for what he did? I mean, I totally don't even care about that anymore.

Although it is true that what he did made me feel hurt. doesn't mean I'll hold it against him forever. People make mistakes, at least he was mature enough to make up for it.

Well, I did have a lot of fun gaming with him, it just felt different. I mean, who would've thought a jock like Nathan would be into gaming and stuff like that.

Maybe I should just try getting along with him from now on. He's Xayla's and Noah's brother after all, I can't let them know what he did, can I? It's for the best if I let this slide.

"Dude, Earth to Andrew." Xayla chuckled out. "You've been lost for a while now. I wonder what goes on up there."

"Oh, its nothing, don't worry." I said with a reassuring smile, faking it obviously. 

"So, I was thinking..." Xayla whispered out so that the teacher doesn't hear us gossiping.

"Hmm?" I said while focusing on my classwork which I totally forgot about.

"Wanna come over to my place today? Noah would love it too."

"Woah, you're really inviting me over?" My face beamed with excitement. It's not often that I make new friends and they wanna hang out with me.

"Yep, and also uh..." A slight blush appeared on her beautiful face.

"Can you bring Yuki with you? I wanna get to know her better." She blurted out very fast, almost too fast for me to comprehend that sentence.

"Uh, sure. I think she'll love to hang out with you. You can tell her yourself. You're in the group chat remember?" I smiled at her.

"I know, but we just became friends. I think it's better if you tell her." She seemed flustered while saying that.

"Sure thing, Xay." I said while focusing back to my work.

I wonder why she suddenly wants to hang out with me and Yuki. Oh well, not that I mind. In fact, I really wanna hang out with the twins. They seem really cool.

As for Nathan, he'll be there too. I guess I'll just exchange pleasantries with him while I'm at it. Things are so awkward between us. Gaming online is one thing, seeing him face to face is another.

As much as I wanna forget the incident, it doesn't help that he looks like an absolute Greek God. Hell, why does this family have such blessed genetics. I guess some people just win the lottery right at birth.

Class went by really quick. As usual, Xayla and I were gossiping from time to time. Obviously we did take notes too, nobody wants to fail in their first semester now do they?

-

"Woah, It's Huge." I couldn't contain my excitement anymore. They lived in a fucking mansion, what the fuck? Talk about rich kid privileges Jesus Christ.

"That's what she said." Noah joked, earning a laugh from Xayla and Yuki while I made a disgusted face.

"Are you gonna just stand there or you gonna come in?" Xayla grabbed my hand and lead me into the house. Calling it a house feels like a crime.

"Oh my god, they have a home theatre!" Yuki gasped in amusement, while my eyes widened at the sight.

"Mom and Dad love having movie nights, so they got it installed last year." Noah said.
