So, now its the night before we come back to school, and I'm practically sh*tting myself.Currently, I was lying on my floor doing sit-ups, partly to make sure I look my best for tomorrow and partly to wear myself out so that I can fall asleep, because I was currently pretty hyper. I had already called Jasmine who had given me some encouraging words, talking about my 'awesome ninja skills' and 'new super hottie body' which surprisingly did actually make me feel less nervous for tomorrow.

 After about 100 sit-ups, I collapsed on the floor and slowly crawled into my bed, and fell into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning, I woke up at 5am for my run. I could already feel my nerves building up again so I was eager to run and calm my nerves down. I quickly changed into a black t-shirt and black cotton shorts, with my running trainers.

An hour and a half later, I had run 6 miles altogether and was still rearing for more. but I didn't want to tire myself out right before school started. When I got home, I Had a refreshing shower and then went to my room with my towel on. I looked through my wardrobe, looking for something nice to wear. Soon enough I decided on what to wear and it consisted of ripped white skinny jeans and a tight black Pink Floyd T-Shirt, which showed a small part of my mid-rift. I topped it off with black vans and then got to work on my hair. I straightened it but curled my piece of blonde.I Have to admit, I looked pretty awesome. I couldn't help but grin as I look at how much my body has changed over these last 6 weeks. Yeah sure, they were hard but It was worth it to have a body I was comfortable with. There was no way I could've been happy with my old body, I just wasn't healthy. But now, I'm a good size, not too skinny but not too fat.

Xavier being the gentleman that he is, told me that he would drop me off to school because his school was starting later in the day. Who am I to refuse ? I was munching on my fruit salad when I heard a honk from outside, signalling that Xavier was outside. I gave my mum a hug and a kiss on the cheek, grabbed my black backpack and then left the house, feeling good. I got into Xavier's car and grinned at him and slammed my hand down on the dashboard and yelled, "LET'S DO THISSS!"

I Think he got a bit too excited because next thing I know he slammed his foot on the gas and we were going waaay too fast.

"Dude! slow down, I don't really feel like getting killed today." I laughed.

"Fine." Xavier pouted and slowed down to the normal speed.

"Don't pout, it makes you look ugly."I lied.He's way too pretty to look ugly.

"Pfft. That's not possible Ari, I'm too sexy to look ugly." Xavier boasted.

"Get over yourself dearie." I said rolling my eyes. I opened Xavier's glove compartment and took out his CD's to decide on one. I grinned when I spotted Kings Of Leon's 'Come around Sundown' and put it on, loving the sound of Caleb's voice.

"I Don't understand how people say that Kings of Leon aren't good anymore, they're still freaking amazing." I sighed, closing my eyes and getting comfortable.

"Totally," I heard Xavier agree, "Yeah their music has changed but it's still as awesome as they were before."

"Exactly my point!" I cried out. Our intense conversation carried on for another 10 minutes and soon enough, we were at my school car park. I could feel a little flutter of butterflies which I tried my hardest to ignore. I moved to open my door but Xavier pulled me back and gave me a kiss on the cheek,

"If anything happens, call me okay?" Xavier asked, his face still so close to mine that I could feel his breath on my cheek.

"Okay." I agreed, but I was pretty sure that I could handle myself now, but I knew if I didn't agree he would be checking up on me every two minutes. I gave him a grateful smile and climbed out of the car, straightened myself up, and made my way to the school building.
