JAVEON'S P.O.V.
"No, I'm not. Maybe you are?" She grinned and took her arm from me.
'Maybe I am? Well, maybe? I don't really know.'
I just kept quiet and looked down. When I heard her scoff, I looked back at her and she started walking away. I got back the covered court and the basketball league was about to start. I wasn't in the mood to play for now. Maybe tomorrow.
I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I looked in the mirror and of course, saw myself.
'Am I falling for her?' I asked myself before messing my hair up. 'Of course I'm not. Tsk.' I'm currently walking to the canteen to buy snacks but I saw Xera on the way. They're at the gazebo. She's with a boy. The guy's hand was on top of her head.
Who is that?! I felt mad but why?! There's nothing wrong with her flirting right? We're nothing anyways.
I peeked at them again and Xera leaned her head on the guy's shoulder. While I was looking at them, She looked into my eyes! I quickly hid behind the wall. She didn't catch me right?! I sighed and walked to our building. The guy looked familiar though.. Wait?! He's on my batch right?! I wonder who's that again.
XERA'S P.O.V.
I walked away from Javeon and started crying. What kind of question was that?! Asshole. I was crying while walking when suddenly, I felt someone holding my shoulder. I looked up and saw Jeremiah.
"Hey, Je." I smiled at him, still wiping my tears. He just looked at me with furrowed brows and started stroking my hair.
"What happened?!" He looked worried. Don't get me wrong but because of how he treats me, we're always mistaken as a couple but we're not okay?! We're just cousins. He treats me like this because he's like a brother to me.
"It's nothing." He didn't talk and just walked me to the gazebo near the canteen. We sat down and he put his hand on top of my head.
"Tell me what's wrong, Melantha Xera." Oh damn, the 'Complete name' method. He always calls me by my first and second name when he's mad or worried or something like that.
"I got played b-by J-Javeon." I said and cried again. He held the side of my head and leaned it on his shoulder.
"Didn't I already warn you that he was gonna do that?! What were you thinking?!" I kept quiet and looked afar to think.
'Why did I got played when I knew it was going to happen in the first place?! Stupid Xera, Stupid.' I was just looking at nowhere when something caught my eye. I narrowed my eye to see it clearly but it was already gone. Someone's watching us.
"Let's go, Je." I stood up so is he.
"I'm gonna treat you today. Cheer up. He's an asshole and crying won't change that fact. Let's go shopping!" He smiled at me. We went to his car at the parking lot, I just noticed it was new but I didn't praise him for that. He can be 'too' confident sometimes you know.
We got at their mall, the Dwelara Mall. Also known as the DL Mall. It's famous nationwide.We went to few of the designer brands and I got plenty of items. It's the last store and it was named JV. He bought me a lot so I invited him to our Mansion.
"Auntieeeeeeeeee!" He called my mom and hugged her.
"Oh, Jeremiah! Long time no see! I missed you son!" They stopped hugging and just smiled at each other. They both looked at me so I also smiled at them.
Mom invited us to dinner. After we ate, Je asked the helpers to put the stuff we bought to my room and they did.
After a little bit of conversation with my mom, He decided to go home. I got back to my room and just lied on the bed.
The Next day, it was intrams again. Our Team plays on the very first match so I woke up early to get to school early.
After I took a shower, my phone rang so I looked who it was. It was Jeremiah. I answered.
"He—"
[Pick you up at 6. I'll wait infront of your door.] He just cut me off and turned off the call. It's already 5:30 and he's gonna pick me up at 6?! Damn, I gotta hurry.
I got ready for Volleyball. I wore my Jersey, short shorts, knee pads, mid-hug socks, shoes, and headband. As He said, he wanted for me infront of the main door! But that's a far walk from the Mansion's parking lot.
We went in his car and he even helped me to wear my seatbelt. He started driving. We were silent for the mean time until he broke it.
"Xe, you know Violet Valentina right?"
"Oh yeahhhh! That famous girl in school! The one with the dyed hair?"
"Yeah, yeah that one." He answered, chuckling.
"What about her?"
"We.. We were dating in secret you know."
I looked at him making an 'o' with my mouth and widening my eyes. He winner at me and looked at The Road again.
"But we broke up." He laughed but it was fake, of course. He sounded hurt eventually.
"Oh.. Sorry.."
"That, is why I-Need-You!" He smiled at me so I looked at him suspiciously.
"Ohhh! Ohhh! Ohhhh! What now huh? You're gonna let me sign an agreement to pretend to be your fake girlfriend and make her jealous so she would come back to you just like in the movies huh?" I assumed, laughing. He looked at me seriously. "It's a joke, Je!"
"Well actually.." He fidgeted on his seat while driving and got something from his pocket. "You're quite right."
"EHHHHH?!" He handed me the paper so I looked at it. "A CONTRACT?!"
