Chapter 46

My heart was beating fast, just at the thought of meeting James. And, not in a good way.

Thinking about him, made a memory flash in my head.

"You look pretty today, babydoll."  James said, as he sat down beside me, on top of the bleachers, during the lunch break.

I looked over at him, only to find him already staring at me.

His stormy grey eyes, weren't stormy like usual, they had an unusual brightness in them.

Looking into his eyes, my heart melted.

How can anyone so angelic cheat on his girlfriend? He loved her. Didn't he?

His ran his hand through his black hair, which were untamed. Like Harry Potter.

I doubt over the fact that he ever cheated on Jasmine. He is so good, and kind.

FOCUS, DO NOT FALL FOR HIS CHARMS. REMEMBER THE PLAN.

Shaking all rubbish thoughts away from my head, I smiled at him.

A 'tell me something I don't know.' Kind of smile.

"I know, Jammy." I smiled at him.

He rolled at me, as he chuckled.

"Do you have any plans today?" James asked me, as I took a bite from my sandwich.

"No. I'm always free." I said, looking at Cody, the jock, I hooked up with last night, at Tyler's party.

Cody winked at me, and I winked back.

"So...I was thinking...whether you wanted to go...I mean come on a date...like a hang out...with me?" He finally asked.

He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, as he waited for me to reply.

"Hey Xandra. Hey James." Tyler said, as he kind of sat between James and I, pushing James a little.

I shifted a little, to give him space. James, on the other hand, rolled his eyes.

Wrong timing, Tay Tay.

"Hey Xandra...Cody's been looking at you. Haven't you told him yesterday, that it was a one night thing?" Tyler asked, as I glared at him.

Why the fuck is he mentioning about Cody in front of James?

"Wait. What? You hooked up with him too?" James asked, a heartbreaking expression on his handsome face.

"I...'' I trailed off.

"What do you expect? She's single. She's hot. She's a player. That's her job." Tyler said, trying not to smirk.

James stood up, and left, before telling me that he would text me the address of the date.

Tyler laughed out.

"Shut up." I muttered.

"You're not falling for him, now are you?" Tyler asked, getting all serious.

I don't know, to be honest.

"No...this is all a part of the plan." I lied, smirking a little.

I lied. I knew I was attracted to him. But not that much, that I'd forget what he did to Jasmine. He has to pay.

"Hey." I said, as Cole sat in the car.

He nodded at me, before starting to drive.

He must be so worried about Mason.

How could James scoop so low?

"Don't worry. Mason is okay." I said, reassuring Cole.

He briefly nodded at me, as he drove.

"What's bothering you, Cole? You aren't acting like the usual annoying monkey you are." I said, trying to light up his mood.

He tried his best not to smile. But, he gave in, as he smiled a little.

That's my bad boy.

"It's just..." He trailed off, and I reached forward to grab his hand, as I rubbed his hand, soothingly.

"Seriously, what's wrong?" I asked him again, this time serious.

"He once had a brain tumor. After so many medical practices, We cured him. And, today, when I saw him in the hospital, I swear, I got so scared for him." Cole said, quietly.

I remained quiet.

Mason had a tumor?

"He is strong, Cole. He can't like us, just like that." I said, repeating Cole's words.

He nodded at me.

"James has to pay, though." Cole said, and I nodded, weakly.

"Yeah. He has to. Did you tell your Dad about James?" I asked him.

"No. The CCTV footage recorded everything. You can't just hit a child and get away with it." He said, as he parked the car.

We are here.

"You coming?" Cole asked.

"Give me a minute. I'll be there." I said, and Cole passed me his car keys, as he left.

I'll be fine.

James can't hurt me now.

I am strong.

I can face him, without any fear.

After all, my revenge is still left.

I can do this.

I'm Alexandra Black after all.

Taking a breath, I stepped out of the car, before locking it.

I noticed Kylie and Sam standing right in front of me, as though they were waiting for me. Sam stood next to Kylie, like a sidekick.

"Going to meet James, are we?" Kylie asked, her blue eyes prieced into mine. Her hands crossed on her chest.

I stared at her.

Before walking away.

I felt a hand on my arm, pulling me, before I entered the police station.

"Hey. I was talking to you." Kylie said, and I sighed.

"But didn't you see? I wasn't interested." I said, bluntly.

My eyes looked behind Kylie, at Sam.

Sam stood as though she had no shame on what she did.

She still didn't realize her mistake.

"What mistake?" Sam asked, as I realized I said that out loudly, and was staring at Sam longer than usual.

"What exactly do you think? I didn't know that it was you who vandalised my locker?" I asked, boredly.

I noticed Ryder and Chase standing behind Sam, listening.

Sam got shut.

I pushed Kylie aside, as I stood infront of Sam, my arms crossed around my chest.

"Do you think I didn't know it was you who left my hand, that day?" I said, raising an eyebrow at her.

Sam remained shut.

"I even knew that Kylie is your cousin. But, I didn't tell anyone about it. Do you know why? Because, I thought, Kylie was blackmailing you. But no, you never did this because of her. You ar--"

"I never wanted to be your friend." Sam said, quietly.

She...never...wanted to...be my friend.

Okay, I guess.

"But, why? I never did anything wrong to you, now did I?" I asked, trying not to cry.

I will not cry, not infront of her.

"I hate you, Alexandra Black. I truly do. Because, guess what? I don't have a reason, other than the fact that you're just a pretty slut, who keeps attracting all the guys towards her. That's the only thing you're good at. First, Chase, then Cole, then Antony, Travis...there are so many boys that it's hard to count." Sam said, bitterly.

I sucked a breath in.

I am the slut here. What the fuck is wrong with her?

"Shut the fuck up! You are the one, who's wrong here. It's not Xandra's fault that your childhood crush likes her. You just can't call her a slut for being pretty. But why am I telling you this? You will never understand." Jessica said, as she stood beside me.

"You're just going to be the sidekick Kylie always wanted." Bethany said, standing next to me, the other side.

Childhood crush? Is Jessica talking about Chase?

But Chase is gay.

I immediately looked at Chase, who was still standing behind Sam, he signalled me to remain quiet.

Maybe he wasn't ready to accept it, infront of everyone.

I should give him time.

"Whatever." Sam said, as she and Kylie walked into the police station.

Before walking in, Jessica flashed her middle finger to both of them.

"Thank you so much guys." I said, as I hugged both of them. Bethany and Jessica.

"Let's go in." Jessica said, I and Bethany nodded, before following the two bitches in.

Getting inside, I noticed Cole and Antony fighting, or arguing over something.

I soon saw Antony's Dad, furiously talking to the police officer.

Cole's dad wasn't here, yet.

My eyes, were searching for James.

I smirked when I saw him, standing quietly behind the bars, and already staring at me.

James wore a black leather jacket, a white shirt inside and his white converse. The thing which attracted me the most was his black tight, very tight jeans.

Tight jeans, loose morals.

Walking up to him, I noticed both Cole and Antony looking at me.

"Cage." I said, nodding at him.

I used to call him, either by his surname, or Jammy.

"Babydoll." He said, nodding at me.

And he used to call me babydoll.

"Long time, no see. Huh?" He said, when I didn't say anything.

"Indeed." I said, agreeing, before crossing my arms over my chest.

James, stared at my boobs, before looking up at me.

"Trying to impress me, again? I'm already yours babe." He said, smirking at me.

I was tempted to roll my eyes, but I didn't.

"Told you, I'd found you, somehow." He said, smirking at me.

"It's not you who found me. It's me, who came to you." I said, smirking at him as well.

"Your stubbornness is one of the many things I love about you." He said, amused.

"It's a pity I can't say the same for you.  You don't particularly have anything lovable." I said, shaking my head at him.

"Hmm, Jasmine loved me, Though." He said, placing a hand under his chin.

Why you little---

"Just like how Xandra loves me." Cole said, his arm snaking around my waist.

James' face got blank. He stared at Cole's hand, on my waist.

"Aah. You never understand, don't you? You can't have what's mine, Parker." James said, his tone sending chills down my spine.

"And you don't understand, do you? She never was yours to claim in the first place." Cole said, mocking James.

James' face remained blank, as he stared at me.

"I love you to such an extent that it's deadly, Xandra. And, no one can stop me." He said, quietly.

Antony cleared his throat, as he looked at me, before looking at someone behind me.

I turned around, only to find Cole's dad, shaking hands with Antony's dad.

I looked over at Cole, only to find him, staring ahead, in confusion.

The police officer, stepped ahead, as he unlocked the lock, of James' cabin.

"You're free." The man said, sarcastically.

James walked out, as he finally stood infront of me.

He looked down at me, making me feel small.

I felt Cole tightening his grip on my waist, that small act didn't go unnoticed by James.

"Watch out, Xandra. You never know what might happen." He said, looking down at me, as he glanced at Cole, before turning and walking out.

"It was a pleasure seeing you again, though!" He exclaimed, sarcastically, before walking away.

"The pleasure was all mine!" I exclaimed, back at him.

"How the fuck did he come out, just like that?" I asked, to both Antony and Cole.

"Bailed." Antony said, blankly.

Cole went to his father, talking to him in hushed voice.

"Watch your back, Xandra." Antony said, one last time, before he left.
