Hard To Get

Chapter 10 - I get what I want and I want you.

Chapter 10 \(•o•)/

It was Monday. The day where everyone in the world hates. But seriously? Who the hell does appreciate Monday? Me? Well, Xander didn't really talk to me today. We just gave a few glances to each other and smile. He didn't lean on the lockers and talk like he did before, and he also did not sit beside me during English Class. Is he mad or something? Or is he being bipolar? Psh yeah, maybe I was right. He's having PMS. Juliette also asked my why the bad boy was not talking to me then I said I didn't know which was true, then she started saying that maybe he likes me and he feels that maybe he was too attached to me that made him avoid me. But I didn't believe her. Psh, Xander? Like me? Well yeah I think since he tried to kiss me yesterday. But, kissing me doesn't mean anything to him, he didn't even admit it. Or maybe it was the thing that he was about to tell? Meh, no way. I'll just let this day pass by. If he won't talk to me, then don't. I don't need his attention.

It was lunch, Juliette and I sat on our usual table. The table where the two of us became friends. Flynn sat beside us. Ooooh, something interesting is happening here. I can sense it. Maybe, someday, tomorrow or today for fuck's sake! Did I just see them gave each other a peck on the lips? Holy shit! I scoffed then they both noticed.

"Oh, didn't you tell Mia?" Flynn asked Juliette.

"I was about to ask you today but, nevermid." She said.

"Do you guys mind telling me about it?" I asked them, joining their conversation. My speech made their burning glares to each other break.

"We're kind of uh-" Flynn said then stared at Juliette. "Together." He continued. Together? What the hell?! They just met 2 days ago and they're together what's with the rush?

"Wait wait wait wait! You guys just met at Xander's party? And you're together already? You guys didn't even dated or something?" I stated then saw their hands intertwine. But I swear they look good together. I knew there was going to be interests between these two.

"We used to go to swimming lessons back in grade school." Juliette said.

"We talked about it at the party. I knew she was the one I used to bully back then." Flynn said then chuckled.

"What?! You' said yes to a guy who used to bully you before?" I pointed at Juliette.

"Past is past, Mia. It's the present now." Juliette said. Her sweet voice made me feel soft for her. Damn. Flynn kissed the back of Juliette's hand and I saw her blush.

"Well, congrats to the both of you." I said. Juliette looked happy being with him. And of course, I will let Juliette do what she wants best. She's my best friend, I shouldn't control her.

A thing just made me wonder - if Flynn was Xander's best friend and they always sit together at lunch, where the hell is Xander?

"Looking for him?" Flynn started asking. Okay is my mind really that readable? I shook my head at Flynn and said No. I knew I was lying but, what if I really was finding for Xander, which I was? I don't want to let Flynn think that I am getting a little bit obsessed with Xander even if we're not dating or anything.

"He's ignoring her." Juliette said to Flynn, with sad eyes. As if she was the one being ignored by Xander.

"Let him. He'll cool down in time." Flynn said to me.

"Why? Did I do anything wrong?"

"Relax, you didn't. Just give him space and he'll be calm." He said, then I nodded.

I started forking my mac n' cheese on my plate. And when I was about to drink, Juliette and Flynn were making out. Do they even realize I am here?

"Ugh, get a room you two:" i said in an annoying voice. They looked at me with a grin, but went back to their business. I carried my tray, and placed it where it belonged to. Then started walking down the hallway. It was quiet, since everyone was at the cafeteria. Except for the students who were making out in dark halls.

And Xander.

Xander was shoving his books in his locker. And as I was steps away from him, he saw me. His stare was controling. It made me stop in my tracks, I was held back there - barely breathing. I tried looking away which I successfully did, and started taking two steps away from him which successfully failed since he started calling ny name which made me stop again.

"Mia." He said, getting nearer. My heartbeat was abnormally beating which I didn't know why but it was, and I was holding my breath like I was underwater. I looked back at Xander who was already gripping my arm with his soft, warm hand that made me shiver down my spine. What the hell?

I looked at his hand, why the hell was he gripping me like that? Wait. Is he going kill me? Has he calmed down yet? Oh shit.

"We need to talk." He said.

"About what?"

"Us."

"What's with 'us'?" I said, giving emphasis to the last word.

"Look, ever since I saw you, I knew you were different. You are one of a kind. Right now, any girl would kill to be in your position right now. But you, you don't. You are very different, in a good way. I like you Mia." He said, my breathing was got more abnormal ever since he said the word 'like'. I froze in a second, then shook my head in disbelief. How can Xander like me that fast when he only met me a week ago? This can't be. He doesn't even know me. And what I am.

And in a millisecond, his hand gripped my arm again. then I was pinned against the wall. He leaned in closer - not to kiss me, but he leaned closely on my ear. Our cheeks brushed, it felt soft and warm. It made my cheeks turn red and making me barely breathe.

"I get what I want, and I want you." He said in a whisper.

I froze in seconds - he noticed. He smirked and loosens his grip. He bit his lower lip then looked at me.

"See you later." He winked. I tried not to blush so I did my best poker face on.

That idiot. I won't fall for that.

'You blushed.'

'Well, fuck me for doing it.'

'You'll like him too. Soon.'

'No I won't fall for another bad boy again.'

'Psh yeah, we'll see.'

I was left there in the hallway. With everyone looking at me, like I was some kind of murderer. Well get back to your own business y'all! I stomped down the hallway then went to my next class. I didn't really concentrate since Xander and I had 2 of the same classes, and he gave me stares which I really didn't appreciate. And sometimes, he would wink. Oh Xander, why me? Fuck my life.
