DIANA'S P.O.V

It's been a full two weeks with Xavier following me around from class to class and like I get that we have the same schedule but he purposely waits for me to get up and walks next to me the whole entire way to class which I know that he knows that this irritates me to no end. To top it all of Mia just has to keep on pestering me on switching seat which I gladly accepted so I could be away from Xavier's unwanted gaze only to which Mrs Alice swapped us back scolding us for switching in the first place, and now Mia is adamant that this is my fault to the point I wanted to yell at her. Now I am in English literacy with Xavier who seems to have a seat next to me in every class and acourding to Elana she is having the same problem with Antonio but with homeroom away from him. Mrs Hathaway our teacher for this class said that we are to write a short story or at least a paraghaph about ourselves and the person next to us which is funny watching guys turn their guy friends next to them into 'pretty' girls.

Xavier is relishing in my discomfort and seems to be writing at ease while I on the other hand keep on changing how I want to start.

Looking down at the red wine she held in her hand she refused to met his penetrating gaze knowing she would get lost in his silver orbs. . . nah to. . . I don't know.

Starring as water droplets ran down his exposed toned chest down to his defined v line before stopping at the towel around his waist, I looked up to find his smirking face knowing I was checking him out. . . Nope, hell no to juicy considering we had to share this with the class.

In all honesty it sucked being in writers block so I got out my head set and played music taking a sip from my 'water' bottle but we all know it's mixed with a lot of vodka but not enough to get me drunk just slightly tipsy. Vodka serves as a great way for getting out of writers block cause we all know we do our best thinking when were not thinking. Once we all had finished the teacher called us one by one up to the front to read our 'short stories' in front of the class some of them very funny while others were average but none of them really held any emotion in them other than u could tell the were faking it. Suddenly the teacher called out my name with a very excited voice for someone who is around teenagers all day.

Handing her my papers she quickly whispered to me not so quietly might I add. "Can't wait to see what you've written and don't worry I know you have been in writers block for a while." She stated before turning to the class.

"Okay everyone settle down I'm going to read out Diana's short story so lets get started also no interuptions. . . She watched as he ran his hands delicately through his chest nut brown almost black hair further disheveling it. He held a look as if he were into another unknown place his storm grey eyes holding a look of longing, and he seemed to be laughing at himself as he looked down shaking his head with a sad yet contempt simle. At that exact moment she wanted to know nothing more than what he was thinking of, what brought a smile to his normally stone cold expression, what type of secrets this man held. And yet she some what knew the reason but refused to believe it, she wanted so badly to kiss him since the instant they met but didn't want to knowing that she would get attatched but not wanting to incase her past caught up with her. ."

By this point everyone looked intranced as if the scene had unfolded in front of them before Mrs Hathaway spoke breaking the silence. "Wow Diana you really have done an outstanding job well done." She handed me back my paper before I sat back down next to Xavier.

"Who knew you wanted to kiss me princess." Oh he did not. Princess? Boy bye I'm a Queen.

I simply ignored his comment while listening to another kid share their short story and taking another sip from my 'water' knowing that I would need it as to not hurt someone later. Almost everyone had read out loud to the class leaving Xavier and two other people I didn't bother learning the names of before the bell wrung leaving me annoyed wondering what Xavier wrote about me before I eventually got up with Xavier following me. Which was unusal since he normally didn't follow me to lunch so I looked back at him confused before continuing on my way.

Reaching the cafeteria doors I meet with Elana only to find her with Antonio before she takes a look at me seeing my expression before voicing my thoughts. "Diana want's to know why the hell you are still following us?

"Well princess we are having lunch with you girls." He said before Elana interrupted him with a serious look while I glared at him.

"Don't call her that, I'm surprised she didn't punch you in the face right about now." She said with a hint of amusement yet anger evident in her voice.

"That's cause she fancies kissing me." Elana looked at me to see me clearly pissed off rolling my eyes.

"Sure honey, her fac-" She suddenly got cut off by the ding from her phone.

Just as she opened it I snatched it because I knew it would dampen her mood, and what I saw enraged me to no end, how dare the woman that was supposed to raise her and care for her threaten to stab her own daughter and call her a whore. Turning of the phone I got out my notepad and wrote "your staying at my place tonight" showing her to which she nodded knowing my decision was final and for the best. She motioned for the phone to see what was written but I just shook my head and put her phone in my bag before walking to get food with Elana trying to get away from the boys curious looks, sadly they didn't take the hint or just didn't care and came next to us.

"What was that about?" This time it was Antonio who spoke clearly concerned for reasons unknown to Elana and I as we shared a look.

Elana responded in a kind of defensive way. "Nothing you need to concern yourself with, this is a regular occurrence"

That silenced the boys but their shared look did not go unnoticed well by me at least. I waited as the three of them got food before coming over to me, normally we would sit under the far tree but I didn't want the boys there so I started walking to an empty table that is normally empty before Elana begun to speak once again.

"Aren't we going to our usual spot?" To which I just pointed to the boys with my index finger as she mouthed an 'oh'.

"Why aren't you guys sitting there we would love to sit there with you, right princess." Xavier stated with his obnoxious smirk knowing damn well he was pushing my limit.

"Di doesn't want you there, and don't call her princess it reminds her of the past." She had a deadly glare that doesn't happen often with her being a bit of a push over unless with me.

We detoured to the tree on the far side away from the cafeteria before all sitting with the boys who looked surprised at Elana's outburst. Finally settled Elana asked for what I wrote in class that has Mr hotty Mc hot hot so full of himself so I handed her my book, and she seemed really into it and a moment of recognition plated across her face. Then she decided to read other sentence starters and lets just say that she was astonished by how bold the last one was but was not necessarily as I seem to write a lot of those.

"Well it's a good thing you didn't go with the last one, you would definitely boost his ego." She said while giggling.

"Come on, let me see." Xavier whined trying to get the book before I quickly shut it and stuffed it in my bag.

The lunch was fun but It made me curious as to why they were sitting with us because we hardly talked well they did all the talking, but even then we sat next to each other they just listened in on our conversations and sometimes whispering to one another but that was all.

What were they up to?
