Chapter Seven

XAVIER'SP.O.V.

"C'mon Kaiya. Please...I can't stop thinking about you." I pleaded to her. I know I did wrong in the past, I know I did wrong, I know what I did. But I've changed. I really have. That Alex guy isn't gonna take Kaiya away from me. He just came into the school year. He needs to get in line. I know her. He doesn't. I truly love her.

"If you can't stop thinking about me, think about something else." She said fiercely. I tried to kept back the smile I was starting to form. I loved it when she got fierce. But this time I had to be serious.

"Every time I do, my thoughts go back to you. Kaiya you gotta believe me!"

She turned around and stopped.

"How? Tell me how can I believe you? I believed you when you said you liked me. I believed you when you loved me. I believed you when you were the old you. Then all of a sudden, you try to kiss another girl. And not just any girl. Aimee. Who is my best friend! Then you wanna act all cool like you own the damn world! Do you not fucking get it?" She half-screamed.

I stood quiet. Okay so I tried to kiss her best friend. And it was a huge mistake. It...it just happened. I was stupid back then, very stupid. I guess popularity got to my head, I admit that.

"Kaiya please! I've changed. I don't hang out with them no more. I want you and only you. Don't stop believing when I said I loved you, because I did. And I still do!"

She raised her eyebrows. "I don't have time for this. I really don't." She sighed. "I hate being me. I'm a fair person. So I guess you can explain yourself."

"Thank..." She stopped me mid-sentence.

"Not now. Later. After the trip. During clubs. Now just go. Leave me the fuck alone. Come near during this trip, I will cut you. Entiendes? Bien."

I stood there dumbfounded. I didn't know a lot of Spanish but I knew she asked me if I understood. I turned to go back, to see Alex coming this way. Boy did he make me annoyed. He just came into the school, he's popular, and it seemed Kaiya was head over heels for the guy. Like really? He gets it that easy?

"She's all yours." I said while I walked pass him. He gave me a confused look, but I didn't return a look. I started to go with my old crew, but I saw I needed to keep my promise. I needed to show to Kaiya I meant what I meant. I started to walk towards Kareena, a girl in my class.

"Kareena you know where the giraffes are?"

She turned towards me. "Up that way. Past the lions." She said it so softly, I barely heard her.

"Thanks." I smiled at her showing her I wasn't at all bad. Even though she was quiet, didn't mean she didn't hear anything going around in the school.

I started to go towards the giraffes. It felt weird to be by myself, but it felt good to think my own thoughts, and not hear anyone else. Hearing the animals calmed me.

Calm? That word was foreign to me. Ever since, Kaiya broke up with me at prom, I wasn't calm. I couldn't be calm. I couldn't stop stressing, Nothing could take my mind off it. That was basically my whole summer. Stressing over her.

And I won't stop stressing until I get her back.

KAIYA'SP.O.V.

I can't believe what just happened. I never saw Xavier like this. It was like he was on the verge of breaking down. Not like the other times, where he asked for something and had a little smirk in his eyes. Almost like he can get anything he want. But this time...he was different. He was pleading for my forgiveness, for me to forgive him, and take him back. That's something I never imagined him to do.
