Kai POV
"I didn't call you to waste your time Hawkins"I said.
"So why then did you call me here"He said .
"To end everything "I said.
"What do you mean by that"He asked me.
"What happened last year was all your fault "I said
"I never said it wasn't I already faced the consequences of it so what else do you want from me "Xavion said
"Xavion I wanted to apologize "He said.
I could see that shocking look on his face and then he laughed.
"You finally swallowed your pride you don't need to apologize "He said.
"And why is that we were both involved in what happened the last time and I let you face the consequences alone "I said.
"This is unlike you Kai what do you know spill it "He said.
Of course I was only doing this because of my mother she wouldn't want to hear that her son and step son are archenemies . I sighed and said
"I found my mother"
"You mean your mom the one you bully everyone because"He said and I glared at him.
"Don't push your luck Alexavion"I said
"And what am I supposed to be lucky of , talking to you or the fact that you apologized"He said.
"I'm only apologizing because of her I really can't forget what you did "I said
"And what does she have to do with this"He asked.
"Cause she's your step mother!"I yelled at him.
"What the f---"He exclaimed.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me"He said.
"You're joking right"He said.
"I'm not your sister is Nova isn't she---"I said.
"Holy Shit !"He said running his hand through his hair in disbelief.
"Trust me I don't also want this but from now on I'll like to call a truce "I said
"For her "I said.
Xavion POV
I really couldn't believe it the weirdo in front of me is my step brother .He stretched out his hand and I shook him .
"For her"I said.
I was also ready to do anything to make her happy , she changed our lives that's me and my dad life since she came in and I can't pay her back by hating her real son ,also I could see it in Kai's eyes that he really wants to make his mother happy so I have no choice.
I turned to leave when he said.
"Also I've been meaning to ask you "
"What's that "I Said
"Are you dating Roxanne "he asked
I smirked and looked at him.
"Yes ,any problem "I asked.
"No problem I'm just asking"He said I really wanted to laugh but I held it .
"We made it official the day before yesterday , she's really a sweet girl , Kai I wouldn't have met her if not for you and the other guys..."I said.
"Yeah yeah "He said cutting me off and walked out of me I laughed silently and walked out of the door . On my way to class I saw Roxanne.
"Xavion "She said and I walked to her she was smiling.
"You look happy this morning"I said.
"I am "She said.
"Where were you I was looking for you "She said
"I went to see Kai "I said and she was shocked
"Did he hurt you"She said checking my face to check if I have any bruise. I held her hand for her to stop
"No he didn't hurt me "I said .She sighed
"Ok then let's get to class you'll tell me what you two discussed about later"She said.
"It's kinda personal "I said.
"Oh ok then "She said and I held her and we went to class.
Third person POV
Kai saw them walk into the school so he went in too.
"Ok class, I hope we are ready for the up coming field trip"Mr Peterson said
"Yes "They all chorused
"I want you all to be very observant cause I want to see your report by the time we get back . I want a full report on nature what you observed and also what you enjoyed the most .Now I believe you're old enough to figure out who your partner is you all should get ready"The teacher said
"Class Dismiss"The teacher added and left the class.
"Roxanne"Xavion and Kai chorused.
"Yes "Roxanne said facing Xavion.
"Will you be my partner"He said
"Who else am I gonna team up with"She said.
Kai stood up and walked to the front of the class.
"I have something to say "He said and everyone looked at him.
"Starting from today I don't want anyone bullying Roxanne, don't hurt her just leave her to me .If anyone is caught hurting her that person will have to face me "He said, everyone began to murmur . Roxanne walked out of the class with her backpack.
"Dude what was that about "Nick said
"Don't tell me you're going soft on her"Nick said
"And what if I am do you have any problem with that"He said.
"I don't but you shouldn't go soft on her "Nick said
"Why do you want her to get hurt"Zach said
"Because she deserves it ,Her people hurt K "He said
"one of them did that not her why do you find joy in hurting people that are innocent "Zach said
"What ever bro "Nick said in anger and walked out. Kai looked confused wasn't this about him earlier what's going on with Nick and Zach.
Roxanne POV
"Xavion be sincere with me did you and Kai talk about me "I asked Xavion, he looked at me for a while and sighed.
"Fine ... yes we did he only asked me if we were dating"He said
Why did he ask that is he jealous?
"And what did you say"I asked
"i told him... yes"He said and I looked at him in shock.
"Why will you say that "I said
"So he won't come near you "He said
"And why do your care about that "I said
"Because..."He didn't complete his sentence and I wondered why.
"Because what "I said
"It's nothing , nothing "He said
"Xavion "I said
"It's really nothing I only said that because I felt like joking around"He said.
"So do you like him"He asked me
"Uhn...."
"Come on we are friends aren't we"He said
"We are "I said
"So tell me "He said
"Ok fine I'll tell you, I don't actually like him but I think I do "I said .That was really the truth I don't know if I like him or not. Or maybe I like the Kai I met on the plane.
"So you like him"He said.
"I don't stop it "I said.
"ok fine can you come along with me today I'm going to pack some things for the trip"He said
"You want me to help you pack"I said surprised
"No not like that I mean just come along I also want to show you something"He said
"Is it important"I asked
"It's very important"He said and gave me a pleading face after which I couldn't resist.
"Sure why not "I said
"Ok I'll leave first I have to run some errands"He said and left .
I continued to walk on my own so I won't feel bored then I heard noises I followed the sound of the noise and saw Nick playing basketball in the basketball court.¹⁴
