The Robinson Boys

Chapter 9

  I sigh as I rest my head against the window of Xavier's car.
"Do I have to take tour?" I ask for the billionth time. Xavier glares at me. "I'll take that as a yes..." I murmur, turning my head so I can look out of the window once again. Finally, we pull up to my future school and I groan. I really don't want to tour that school!
"Oh, get over it, it won't take that long." Xavier says, getting out of the car and opening my door for me.
"Thanks..." I mutter as he takes my hand and leads me to the office, probably because he thinks I'm going to try and run away (which, knowing me, I was). We walk into the office, tell the receptionist lady who we are and what our business is, and then Xavier shows me around. The lady gave me my schedule, so, at least I'll get to know where the classes are.
After the tour, Xavier revs the car's engine and looks over at me. "Want to go out for ice cream?" He asks, and I scream in delight "YES!" So we go to some little ice cream shop and end up having lunch AND ice cream there. I got a triple-scoop chocolate cong (epic) and Xavier just gave me a weird look and got a one-scoop strawberry cone.
"What, you've never seen someone eat ice cream before?" I ask, raising an eyebrow as I lick the side of the cold, tasty, amazing, chocolaty-goodness. "Yeah, I have, but not quite like you... most of the girls I take out don't even get ice cream." He states, leaning back in his chair and watching me eat. I snort. "Well, I don't exactly fall into the category of the girls you've dated, besides, I'm perfectly happy with my weight so I don't have to worry about it." I stick my tongue out at him before I merrily finish off the rest of my ice cream.
"I never said anything about your weight," Xavier says, standing up after leaving a tip for the waiter. I shrug. "Yeah, but most of the girls you've dated probably didn't want to gain any weight even though they're skinny as sticks." I reply, walking out to his car and leaning against it. Xavier chuckles.
"Very true," he says, unlocking the doors and then getting in the car. I'm about to get in the car with him when I see someone familiar.
"JAYDEN!" I shout, jumping out of the car and hugging him tightly. Jay laughs at me and strokes my hair gently.
"Sabrina," he sighs my name and I bury my face into his neck, not wanting to leave his side.
"I thought that your parents wouldn't let you come?" I look up at him and our eyes meet. He shrugs.
"My dad had to move because of work, so, here I am!" He exclaims, looking happy. I gasp and my eyes widen.
"You live here now?!" I ask and then start laughing happily.
"This is awesome! You have to come and meet my new family!" Right as I say this, sadness comes over me as I'm reminded that my parents are no longer here for me, that they're no longer here to share my excitement, nor my sadness, nor my pain. Jayden must have noticed, because he hugs me tighter.
"I'm sorry about your parents," he whispers, pressing his forehead against mine. I try to smile at him, but can't manage it, instead, I just nod and let my tears crash onto the sidewalk.
"So, do you want to meet the Robinsons? They're nice, but can be kind of crazy..." I mumble, looking up at him and hoping that he'll say yes.
"Of course! Where's your car?" I point over to the car that Xavier is still sitting in, and barely notice the look of pain on his face.
"Who's the guy?" Jay asks, and I can tell by his voice that he's somewhat jealous. I laugh and pat his hair gently. "That's Xavier Robinson, no worries, we were just out to tour the school, and then we went and got some lunch." I say, and then drag him to the car.
"Who're you?" Xavier asks when Jayden gets into the backseat with me.
"My name's Jayden, I'm Sabrina's boyfriend. My dad had to move here for work." Jay says, squeezing my hand reassuringly. I smile up at him and kiss him on the cheek.
"Is it okay if he meets the rest of my new family?" I ask, resting my head on Jayden's shoulder.
"Not a problem, we'll be home in no time." Xavier says through clenched teeth.
"Thanks!" I exclaim, my eye brightening with happiness. The Robinsons are in for a big surprise...
