My pretend boyfriend ❤

09-trapped

'So you two are friends now?' Rachel asks me as we head to English lit class. She's referring to Tyson and I. Yup, Kara told her. You probably guessed that right.

'Nope.' I pop the 'p'.

'Seriously? Why can't you two just be friends?' She raises her hands in the air, rolling her eyes.

'Hold on, did you hear that?' I ask.

'Hear what?'

'This.' We both stay quiet to hear the angelic voice singing.

Someone's strumming a guitar in the hall room while singing 'stitches' by Shawn Mendes. It echoes loudly and the voice is recognizable but I can't just recall who's voice it is.

'Let's go or we're going to be late.'

'But it sounds sooo perrrr..fect I mean really impeccable.' I hum the melody. 'I also feel like I've heard that voice before.'

'Music freak.' She scowls, teasingly.

'Let's check out who it is!!!' I squeal.

'Tell me you're kidding.' She sighs with disbelief.

'I'm not, I promise it'll take only a few seconds.' I pull her towards the door.

'Vaaaallll!!! You know how much I love English Lit.' She grizzles.

'Just a little peep?'

'I'm gonna stay out here while you "unravel the mystery." ' she rolls her eyes. I immediately reach out for the handle with a lotta impatience then I sneakily tip toe in.

I start humming along silently. Have I ever mentioned how much of a music freak I am? I looooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee music.

I unconsciously hit my back against the door producing a loud thump that echoes in the spacious room and I start freaking out. Oh no!!!

Stupid door that has no handle!!!

Wait what??!!! No handle? as in no door knob? How do i get out and what if it's a dangerous guy?. I'm freaking out right now! Please tell me it's a dream, please--

I open my eyes to face the guy strumming the guitar. Immediately, my gaze fixes on hazel eyes, cute intense hazel eyes. The ones I fell inlove with.

Xander Barrett's.

'I'm sooo sorry for coming in like this...you see, I lost my way. I mean I--'

'It's okay.' He cuts me short, depression written all over his handsome features. He walks towards the door with his guitar in his hands.

'It's um...it's kinda broken.' I inform him as he makes an attempt to open the door.

'What?'

I bite my bottom lip.

'I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself I mean you have such a great voice and stupid me just had to walk up in here.' Redness crawls up to my cheeks out of embarrassment. I step aside as he tries breaking the door open.

He slips his phone out of his pocket and I do the same but it switches off immediately.

Damn!!

'Rae..you there?' I speak through the door. Xander looks at me like 'are you seriously talking to a door right now?'

'My bestie is out there..well she was-' I say and he nods understandably.

He wanders all around probably for signal but there wasn't any. After a while, he gives in and sits on the floor, resting his back against the hard wall.

'it's all my fault. I'll get us out of here, promise.'

'It's no use Valerie.' He says, running his hand through his jet black hair. I sit an inch away from him and he stares at me intensely.

'You know, you have a really great voice.' My voice is calm.

'Really?'

'Yup,' 'Could you maybe sing to me?'

Why am I soo stupid?!! I mentally facepalm myself.

'You're. Asking. me?. To. sing. To. you?' He asks smiling slightly with disbelief. He's kinda on the cloud nine now.

'Yea, I mean if that's okay.' I shrug.

Music freak!!!

'Anything for you milady.' He smirks and I return it weakly. The intro makes a perfect tune as he thrums the guitar.

🎶🎵 I thought that I've been hurt before..
But no one's ever left me quite this sore.

He's singing beautifully and a little bit odd like he's referring to me.

🎶🎵your words cut deeper than a knife..

Wow...I mean ouch. Do people words really cut deeper than a knife or is it just mine?

🎶🎵now I need someone to bring me back to life..

🎶🎵 got a feeling that I'm going under but I know that I'll make it out alive.

🎶 If I keep calling you my lover..
Move on..

Yup, it's definitely me.

🎶🎵 you watch me bleed until I can't breathe. I'm shaking falling onto my knees and now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches.

🎶🎵tripping over myself, aching, begging you to come help and now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches.

Oh gosh, I think I'mma cry. His eyes stares deeply into mine and I wanna take him back right now.

'Val, are you okay?' He stops, scanning me.

'Me? Of course I'm okay, why wouldn't I be?'

'You don't look so-'

'I'm fine really.' I assure. He places a hand on mine and I feel sparks. I look at our already paired hands then at him. My head flees to cloud land and now it's going haywire so I hug him tightly.

'Are we still hugging? Or am I still day dreaming?.' I ask.

'Nope, still hugging.'' 'Should I pull away?' He asks.

'No, I think I like it this way.' I hold him tighter. I widen my eyes on my last statement and pull away quickly.

'I'm sorry, I don't know why I just did that.' I bite my bottom lip. He pulls a wrisp of my hair off of my face and stares at me intensely, I can actually feel the pressurizing heat..

'You're really beautiful you know?' My mouth falls open as those words slide out of his mouth.

He leans closer into me and I close my eyes shut until the door of the room opens expeditiously. Presenting my three best friends--

Wow..great timing!! I think we could've actually worked things out but no way, they just had to come!!!

What am I saying? We can't work things out I mean my heart is definitely not ready for another heartbreak.

I move away from him completely and walk out of the room.
