(Swoon Worthy)
Avalon's P.O.V
I enter the school for the second time today and almost instantly, I'm yet again pulled into an embrace.
"What the fuck Goldi, where have you been?? " And angry voice mutters into my hair.
"Xavier? " I pull back and frown at the bandaged boy.
"Yeah yeah, now where were you? Stephen said he lost you and he didn't see Ryder around either" He squints at me.
"What a coincidence" I tug at my sleeve.
"I was in the bathroom" I turn my face away from him so he won't see the twitch, and come face to face with Tracey.
She looks at me then at Xavier then at me again.
"Your boyfriends hot" She eyes up Xavier who glares at her.
"He's not my boyfriend" I frown.
"Well then can I have him? Because he's totally swoon worthy" She whispers in my ear.
"I don't care who has him, because we're not dating or anything" I quickly say as Zahbia approaches.
"Hey gurl, don't you think he's swoon worthy? " Tracey whispers to her, making me face palm.
Zahbia looks at him then shakes her head "no, not really. "
I choke on air, being in shock because Xavier is a total hotty.
"You think I'm a total hotty? " He questions me.
Oh my god.....
"Shut up. " I frown and move away from him.
"I'm not interested in his kind" Zahbia scrutinizes him.
"And what exactly is my kind? " He crosses his arms.
"You know, male. " She blushes slightly and glances at Tracey who's eyes widen.
"Oh, cool" He sighs in relief, lucky to still be hot.
I nod in understanding but Tracey stares at her for a moment before smiling.
"Well, at least you're comfortable enough to tell us" She pulls her into a hug.
"Anyways Goldi-" He's cut off by a small boy walking up to us.
And no, I don't mean a child. What I mean is he's probably a freshman.
"Excuse me, do you know where the lunch room-"
"FUCK OFF" Xavier swivels around and spots the small freshman quaking in fear.
"Oh shit" He watches as the freshman takes off running down the hall, a wet spot appearing on his pants.
"Nice going you bafoon" I laughed at him.
"Whatever" He mutters, crossing his arms.
"Hey Ava, that reminds me. Do you swear? " Tracey asks while applying red lipstick.
"Why the sudden interest? " I quirk an eyebrow and watch her take out some foundation.
"Because I have a essay in English due next week and the topic is how much of our student body swears. Zahbia doesn't, and Xavier does. Do you? "
"I can't believe your asking her that, she couldn't swear to save a life" Xavier snorts from behind me.
"I swore before! Remember! That one place" I scowl at him.
He places a finger on his chin "I... Don't recall... "
Tracey looks perplexed "so do you or do you not-"
"I did! " I lightly whack his arm.
"I don't believe it, I couldn't even imagine you swearing" He guffaws.
"I-well-DAMN" I squeak out.
He feigns shock, covering his mouth with one hand "scandalous! "
"Fuck! " I say with courage.
"Wow Goldi, hold your roll" He covers my mouth "we can't have that innocent mouth ruined. " He scolds me.
"I'll take that as a no... " Tracey backs up a bit.
I move his hand.
"I just remembered. Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital? " I question.
"Yeah " He grins.
"And you're not.... "
"Evidently" He rolls his eyes and take a handful of my hair in his hand, playing with it.
"Why? " I watch as he amuses himself with my curls.
"Because I need to protect you, and Stephen is too much of a dipshit to do it" He says quietly.
"You're a dipshit too" I whisper so no one hears.
He quickly covers my mouth with his hand.
"That's a bad word Goldi."
"I'm sorry to be a cock block in this little kink fest you guys have going right now, but Stephen wants to know if you'll go to his party" Tracey asks from the side.
"Kink fest? " I question.
"Damn it Tracey" Xavier sighs.
"Oops~" She backs away with a smirk.
"Whatever, I already know, it's for his birthday I'm going" He unconsciously runs his hands through my hair.
"Same" I smile at her.
"Cool, I'll tell him. But I have something to attend in the janitors closet, see you guys later"
"Ew" Xavier gags and rolls his eyes at her.
"What the hell is a kink fest?? " I ask in confusion.
"God fucking dammit Goldi! That's a lot of bad shit coming from an innocent mouth" He squints.
"Hypocrite" I mumble and he throws his hands in the air, frustrated.
I feel someone tap me on the shoulder and I turn around.
It's the pizza guy?
"Hey, I didn't know you went to my school? " I question while rubbing my wrists.
"Same to you gorgeous" He sends me a wink and I give him an awkward smile.
"But hey, that's more time for me to get to know you, or are you still with your boyfriend" He leans in slightly as if suggesting a kiss but I'm tugged back by my shirt collar.
"She's still with me" Xavier crosses his arms and looks at the pizza guy with a murderous glare.
"Shit fuck, she's with you?? " He backs away in shock.
"Yeah. So fuck off" Xavier squints and wraps his arm around me for effect.
"Oh yeah, my bad bro" He quickly leaves.
"Lil fucker" Xavier says under his breath and starts pulling me along down the corridor.
"What was that about?? " I question while walking quickly with him.
"In was just stating the facts" He winks and I choke on my spit, suddenly stopping and folding my arms.
He groans and turns around looking prepared for an argument.
"We're not dating" I squint at him.
"A fucking genius" He motions towards me and starts clapping.
"Cut the sarcasm pork breath, you can't control my life" I hiss and clench my fists at my side.
"First off, ouch I'm hurt." He frowns and attempts to smell his breath, causing me to roll my eyes.
"Second off Goldi, " He steps closer to me and pulls me slightly towards him by my waist, "I know I can't, but you can't keep being so helpless its making it hard for me not to."
"What does that mean? " I scowl at him "didn't you say you were going to leave me be. "
"I did, until you started having all these people going after you" He sighs dramatically.
"What- excuse me. But none of that would have happened if YOU'D HAD JUST LET ME BE AND DIDN'T FORCE YOURSELF INTO MY LIFE" I yell at him in frustration.
He stares at me for a moment in amusement, "is that so? "
Does nothing faze him???
My eyes twitches and I shove him away before sharply turning around and marching in the opposite direction.
"Stupid. Controlling. Jerk ape. Pork breath. Toe fungus-"
"Damn Goldi, you hurt me a lot" Xavier flings and arm around me.
I cry out in frustration and turn towards him again.
"What? "
"Are you mad at me? " He fakes a pout and I push his arm off of my shoulder.
Yes.
"No."
"That sounds like a lie" He pulls one of my curls gently.
"I'm going to class" I walk away without further word and he doesn't stop me.

What a beautiful day.
I think to myself with a smile as I exit the school, homework pile into my arms.
Of course I have to think happy thoughts because if I don't I might just dump this work load into the closest dumpster which is approximately..... 7 feet from me.
I cringe at the stench of cafeteria leftovers and lay my homework on a bench for a moment so I can readjust my pants that were sliding down.
Suddenly a gust of wind blows my papers up and liters them over the school yard.
I watch as students tediously step over them and give me sympathetic looks, not willing to stop.
"Damn, looks like you'll need help" A friendly voice laughs and before I know it, all of my papers are back into my arms.
"Wow, that was fast..... " I glance at the unfamiliar boy in disbelief.
"Well there was only a few papers" He points at the 5 papers in my hand.
Okay, so I may have over thought the whole ordeal, my bad.
"Oh, where are my manners, I'm Noah" He sticks out a hand and I spot a scar that stretches from his thumb to his elbow.
Quickly retracting his arm he shyly pulls his sleeve down, causing guilt on course through me.
I shuffle my papers and stick out my hand.
"I'm Avalon, but you can call me Ava. "
He's smiling again and he shakes my hand.
"So are you new here? " I question while grabbing the rest of my school papers from the bench and staring him.
"Something like that" He chuckles out with yet another contagious smile.
And I don't question that odd answer.
Because it seems perfectly normal.
I nod and wave at him, heading for the restaurant.
"Wait! I'm headed this way too! " Noah calls from behind me and I frown slightly before hesitantly letting him follow me.
The silence on my part is deadly but he's yapping away about some meme he read on the internet.
"And it's so weird because how was Jonny conceived. " Is what I manage to make out through his over the top fast paced talking.
I hum in agreement, not understand a word that's coming from his mouth.
We walk for a bit and I slowly start to see both the apartment and the restaurant come into view.
"Hey this is my stop" I cut him off and walk into the restaurant.
I should be surprised when he walks in after me, but I'm not.
"What a coincidence, I was coming here as well" He muses and takes a seat at a booth.
It's times like these that I'm happy to be blessed with great patience.

"ELSA? DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAAAAN- Ow! The fuck dude?! " I watch as Stephen stops singing after Xavier thumps him on the head.
"That song deserves to die" Xavier mumbles and rubs his bandaged forehead.
"Guys stop making a commotion I'm at work" I hiss and the people throw us unamused looks.
"Sure thing Goldi, but first I'd like to know why the fuck that asshat is here? "Â Xavier points at Noah who's eating pasta.
Noah stops with pasta dangling from his mouth and his eyes widen.
"Well, he wanted food I'm assuming" I frown and point at his plate.
"No-not him, him" Xavier points at a brooding figure in the corner whom I've been purposely avoiding.
"Most likely to eat?" I gulp and bite my lip as the man glares at me.
"What the fuck Goldi I'm pointing at Ryder! " Xavier sighs and turns my head towards Ryder who's standing with a knife by the booth Noah's in.
"I actually don't know, but I did pepper spray him so I'm not sure he's very happy with me" I hide behind Xavier slightly.
Stephen sighs.
"What does this dipstick want now?" He throws an arm around me.
"My girl" Ryder lays down in the same booth as Noah who's watching all of us with confusion.
"How many fucking times do I have to tell morons like you" Xavier rolls his eyes.
"She's not your girl! " He finishes.
"What a soap opera" Stephen sighs then looks at Xavier.
"No homo dude, but I'd totally tap that if you weren't so pissed, you're actually kinda hot when you're angry" Stephen raises an eyebrow and holds back a laugh.
"Bro" Xavier looks at Stephen in disbelief and chokes on his spit.
"Calm yourself, I just had to calm you down" He laughs finally and I laugh along, enjoying Xavier's awkward state.
"Yeah, no I was gonna say that, that was pretty homo" Noah calls from the booth.
"Shut it nerd" Ryder snaps.
"Fuck off, we don't treat siblings like this" He feigns hurt.
Wait-
"Siblings? " I gasp out.
"Yeah, this gay asshole is my brother. "
wAIT-
We all gasp and Ryder slaps him on the head.
I guess we'll need some explaining.
