Chapter 13 - CHAPTER THIRTEEN

XERA'S P.O.V.

I do not totally agree with this Xera and Javeon thing you know. Why does it have to be me? We're literally cousins! What if this gets to the media huh? What will he do?!

It's just ridiculous. What if— What if he ends up falling for me since I'm so pretty huh! W-w-w-wait! Of course that won't happen psh!

I shook my head while walking, disappointed of what my brain in thinking right now!

I'm worried about Javeon though. Even if he has hurt me, (well maybe that was a little bit my fault) I'm still worried!

Since Jeremiah said he was injured, I wonder why or how or maybe WHO? I need to excuse myself in class! Now!

"Sir!" I called to our lecturer while rasing my index finger.

"Yes, miss Clavienta?"

"M-may I excuse myself for a bit sir?"

"And why is that? Are you bored with my class?"

"Oh! No sir! I— I just found out that a friend was brought to the clinic, my cousin said he was injured." I looked down.

"Okay then. Get an 'excuse' slip from miss Dronte after." I nodded and thanked him. I dashed to the clinic and barged in without knocking.

"Is Javeon here?" I asked the nurse and she looked at the check-in-check-out book.

"Y-yes ma'am." I nodded, waiting for her to lead me into his room; But instead, she was just standing there, looking at me.

"Ma'am?" The nurse asked, wondering while I was standing there with cross arms, looking at her.

I breathed. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I ASKED WHERE THE PATIENT IS AND THEN YOU'LL JUST SAY: 'OH YES MA'AM HE'S HERE'!!!" I said, mocking her voice. "WHEN ASKED WHERE HE IS, AND HE'S HERE, YOU LEAD ME TO HIS ROOM! YOU DUMMY!" I shouted.

I couldn't control myself. I didn't mean to do that but it just went out of me.

The nurse looked down and nodded. When she looked at me, she looked like she's about to cry. I ignored her and just followed her to Javeon.

She pointed at room 9 so I went in there. I saw Javeon and he was just laughing.

I pouted. "Why are you laughing?!"

"I heard you shout! Did you just bully the nurse?"

"I—" sigh. "I didn't mean to do that okay? I was just worried about you and she was—"

"You're worried about me?" He asked, grinning.

I looked away when I feel my cheeks heat. "Well, yeah but I— well— Ho—"

"How did you know I was here?"

"Jeremiah told me."

"Oh." He responded, smile fading from his face. "Your boyfriend? Am I right?"

I was currently thinking if I should say it or not but in the contract, It said that only the two of us were supposed to know.

"Yes, my boyfriend." I fake smiled.

"Is it a fixed marriage? Your parents, you know. Planner your future or something." He asked.

"What? Pfft! No! What makes you think that?"

"It's just that I see in your eyes that you don't love him but I see his that he does. It us a one sided relationship, isn't it?"

"H—huh?! What do you mean? How do you see it in my eyes huh?"

"I just thought that the way you looked at me and the way you looked at him was different."

"What? So what do you mean? That you're the one I love? Huh?"

"Maybe."

"Whatever, Javeon. I love him okay? I know that." He didn't respond. I walked towards his bed and slicked his hair. "Who did this to you?"

"Jeremiah." He whispered.

"WHAT?!" I shouted in shock "What do you mean? He wouldn't do that! Definitely not!" He didn't respond. "Do you have proof?"

He shook his head and looked away.

"Then, you're just accusing him, aren't you?!" He didn't respond, again.

"I'm sorry, Xera. You can go back to class now." He said without even looking at me.

I walked out the door and closed it loudly. I was walking in the hallway and was about to get out the clinic but the nurse blocked my path.

"Ma'am please sign the visitors' list." She said while handing me a paper and a pen.

I ignored her and slightly pushed her to the side so I could make my way. I went out the clinic and went to Miss Dronte's room.

I got my excuse slip signed by her. I went to the class and handed it to the current lecturer.

Class.

Class.

Class.

Lunch!

It's lunchtime and I was about to go to the canteen when suddenly I felt someone grabbing my wrist and pulling me. I fell into his chest so I looked up.

"Je..."

"You're eating lunch without me?" He said in an annoying voice while pinching my cheeks.

I didn't respond and went with him to the canteen.

"I'll order meal 2." I said to him while he was already getting ready to order from the counter.

Later on, he went back I'm with the tray and we started eating.

"Je, who do you think did that to Javeon?" I asked, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know. How did you say 'who'? I think it's an accident." He said and looked to his left.

You're lying, aren't you?

"Oh yeah? Well, he said that some guys just started punching and hitting him. Don't you think it's Zwayne?"

"Yeah, yeah. I think so." He responded before swallowing hard. "It's hot here."

"You did it, Je, didn't you?"

He widened his eyes at me and dropped his utensils on the table. "Why would you think that?" He shouted, casing the people to look at us, murmuring.

"Javeon said it. He knew."

"And you'll— you'll believe that man instead of believing me?"

"Yes." I whispered while looking at my food.

"Well, believe it or not, it wasn't me." He said and suddenly shoot up. I just looked at him, walking ot the canteen.
