Survivor

Chapter Ten

I had somehow managed to get home and hurry into my bedroom before Xavier got home, my plan was to stay in my room all night so that my bandage was hidden and that my injury could heal. Xavier tried and tried to get into my room because he demanded that I tell him where I was for the rest of the day but I wouldn't even say a word. Ms Louis shortly followed after and I let her into the room, telling her that I was sick and that I had thrown up all afternoon, which then followed with me saying that I needed to get rest and that I didn't want comany just incase it was contagsious, Ms Louis bought it and everyone left me alone for the rest of the night.

I spent the couple of days in the library and out of Xavier's way, It wasn't that I was scared of Leslie because I wasn't but I didn't think a guy was worth geting glass in my neck again. I spent all my time studying and I hardly talked to anyone except for Joey and occasionally Dawn, they were both the only ones that knew what Leslie had done. I told Joey when she had walked in the bathroom when I was changing the bandaid on my neck.

Leslie made every effort to grab Xavier's attention but he didn't bite, he knew something was wrong and by the way I was avoiding Leslie, I think he might have caught onto something but I reminded myself to stay away, at least until this awful finals week was over, it was already sunday night and this last week was based on finals.

I was currently on my bed with my laptop placed on my lap and books scattered all around me. I was to busy with my head stuck into my studying to even realise someone had entered my room and without knocking, I may add. A hand then rested on my shoulder and as if it was made out of pure electricity I got the biggest shock through my body not to mention the bigget fright of my life.

I let out a big scream and fell off of my bed, while regaining myself I heard the deep laugh of the culprite and we all can guess who it was, yep Xavier.

"What the actual hell X?" I asked and threw one of my books at him.

"I'm sorry but you didn't hear me knocking so I let myself in and I had to grab your attention somehow, honestly I didn't mean to scare you" Xavier said and contiue to chuckle.

"agh, whatever" I say and sit back onto my bed.

"What do you want?" I add and turn towards him.

"I want to know what is going on" He asks and I just shrug.

"Some English and a little bit of photography" I replied and Xavier rolls his eyes.

"No I mean with Leslie" He says boredly and I huff.

"Nothing, she is just a bit rude and I have studying to do" I answer and I open my computer again because it seemed to shut with my jump before.

"Look Lulu if she has done something to you" Xavier says but leaves the rest of his sentence open and I sit in silence debating on whether or not to tell him but I descide against it and I turn to him.

"Leslie hasn't done shit okay, I could take her anyway" I say but without looking at Xavier once because I know that if I do, he would be able to tell that i'm lying.

"Alright Lulu, if you say so" Xavier says as he gets off of my bed and heads out my door.

I fall back onto my bed and let out a sigh of relief, I don't want to tell Xavier because for one I don't need him going all Godzilla on me and two because I actually want to survivor this last year in peace. I just hope for my sake that this last week goes fast and that everything will be okay because I really don't think I will make it out alive.

"Hey Lulu, I forgot to ask" Xavier says while sticking his head back into my room.

"What?" I ask frustrated and I give him an annoyed look.

"Do you want any help?" Xavier says and I sigh with a smile on my face.

"That would be amazing, thank you" I say and Xavier jumps onto my bed and starts going through my books.

As Xavier helps me I can't help but notice that this maybe the Xavier I gave my first kiss too and that I just might like this grown up verision better, whatever it is i can't help but notice the butterflys that start to appears whenever I see him lately. I shake my head and tune back into what he is saying and I smile because right now I know that I am extremely . . . confused.

"Can you repeat that again" I ask and Xavier laughs but nods.

"Anything for you Lulu" Xavier replies and starts again, leaving me with another set of butterflys and a small smile spread across my face.
