You and Me

Chapter 8: Library Boy!

It's been a total of three weeks since school started. So far it's going good, once you minus the thorn in my side Josh. I swear am going to have to get a restraining order against him. He is always everywhere, like a stalker.

First his room is like right across from mine. Then he is in my designing class, not to mention the fricking grocery store. I know everyone goes to the grocery store, but I doubt you get to see the same person every single time you go there.

No matter how hard I try to escape him, he is always there. At this point if he chipped me or placed a tracker on my car I wouldn't be surprised.

Right now am in no mood to be bothered or seen by him. So am going to the last place he could ever think of. The library.

I was on a mission of not getting caught by him. I put some casual clothes in my backpack, desperate times you can say. This consisted of high waist blue jeans, a whit tee with the Chanel N°5 on it, an oversized pink cardigan, a pair of nude combat boots and infinity scarf. For now, I will be in an oversize black hoodie that I "borrowed" from Luke and also some sweatpants that I also borrowed from Luke. You may be wondering why Luke's clothing well because it ticks him off.

I pulled the hood over my head, put on my ray bans and grabbed my backpack and left our dorm. So far so good, no interruptions. I jumped inside Angel's car and head for the library.

At the moment am so cautious, because you know who is everywhere that's why I parked the car two blocks from the library. Stupid Josh, making me walk two blocks just so he can't follow me. A restraining order is very near in his future if he doesn't stop.

I walked into the coffeehouse and ordered a cup of tea. Shortly after ordering my tea came. I quickly took the cup and tipped my server before leaving for the library. As usual the library barely had persons in it. I went to the extreme back where there was no one. No one ever goes there, well at least not when I was there.

Time to get out of these clothes.

First I pulled off the hoodie. Since I already have on my tee I just pulled on my cardigan and took off my shoes. As I was about to pull off the sweatpants some books behind me fell. Turning around I spot one of the most gorgeous boys I've ever seen. That's actually saying a lot because I've seen many and from different parts of the world.

"Umm. Don't you know you're not supposed to peep on girls when their changing?"

"Uhh. Don't you know you're not supposed to change in a library?" Cocky bastard!

"Whatever. If you don't mind, I would like to take theses sweats off." He got comfortable. What a jerk!

"Nope not at all. Go ahead." Sigh. At this point I don't care.

"I would prefer if you leave but the odds aren't in my favour so I'll settle." Just to be safe I rolled down my cami-dress that I usually rolled into a top. Yes, I wear a cami-dress, let's just say this isn't the first time that I had to change in public. I pulled down my sweat pant and kicked them off and pulled on my jeans. After which I pulled back on my shoes. I slipped off the cami dress and shoved everything back in my bag.

"I'm guessing this isn't your first time changing in a library or anywhere public for that matter."

"I wonder what gave me away. Now I must go, I came here to be alone and you are ruining my plans."

"So you change in front of me and then you leave. You could have at least given me your name."

"Why should I? I don't owe you anything. You don't just expect me to give my name to you, a complete stranger."

"You change in front of one." Touché. "But if it makes you feel better my name is Xander. Xander Costello. Now we aren't strangers." The name sounds familiar Xan- I know him.

"By any chance did you live in California?"

"Yes... I moved when I was six why?"

"I'm Sienna."

"Sienna. You're a Davidson aren't you?" I just nodded. "Wow. This world just gets smaller, and smaller. I remembered when you stole my candy." I couldn't help but laugh.

"To be fair you gave me that candy because you had a huge crush on me. I didn't have to steal it."

"You haven't changed a bit. Still confident as ever, it's a good trait on you. I hope you never lose that because you've always worn it well."

Aww that's the nicest thing I've heard, in a while.

"When did you start college? I haven't seen you around."

"I actually started two days ago. I was in Europe with my family. At the moment am just exploring on foot while my stuff gets loaded into my room on campus."

"Cool what building?"

"It's that building with the three big dorms on the top floor. One of the dorms were occupied by three girls and the next occupied by three guys and the one am staying in has only one occupant."

Holy shit. He moved in across from me. I couldn't help the groan that escaped my lips. He looked at me funny.

"You're my neighbour. Don't get the wrong idea though I groaned because of who you're boarding with. Before you ask it's my ex-boyfriend Josh."

"Oh. Well look at the upside. You get to see me more."

"That's not an upside. Anyway I got to go. I have been trying to escape Josh all day. I went to extreme measure to make sure. Now am going to have some fun. Bye, it was good seeing you." With that I took up my stuff ready to go.

......

As I was out the door I heard Xander yell wait. "Yeah?"

"Can I come a long? I really could use some help getting to know the campus."

"Sure let's go. I parked just two blocks away." Again with the funny looks.

"As I said before extreme measures." He just shakes his head and followed me.

Josh may have been first love but this boy right here was my first crush.

Then again he could be my first love. We actually got married with ring pops and when we were kids that meant love. You probably know how that marriage ended though. Do not eat your ring if you want to have a happy marriage. It was a damn good ring pop though.

I was so sure we would get married. For real and not with ring pops but I can't guarantee you that there won't be ring pops.

Reason being our families were so close that we even shared a fence. His parents were or still are great friends with mine. Their friendship has even lead them as far as doing some business together. His father owns a multi-billion shipping company and his mom own multiple antique and jewellery stores.

Looking back, we really did have a lot of fun together. Just seeing him again brings back all of it. Our friendship leads us to vacationing few times even after they moved to Europe. Good times. However, school came and Josh and we drifted a part.

At this point I'm happy that we got a chance to reconnect. Although he may have been my ex husband through the power of ring pops we were more like brother and sister. I can't believe we actually have the chance to become really revisit that friendship that got put on pause.
