his sentence.
“My lord, your brother requires your presence in the meeting hall immediately”
Brianna was puzzled. The man in the background had called Xavier “my Lord”. What did that mean? He had a brother? Older maybe? Brianna found herself dumbfounded. Xavier’s voice broke her thoughts. “Hey I’m sorry, I have to go. I really wanted to talk to you but I can’t at the moment. Promise we’ll talk tomorrow?”
“Uhh yea, I promise. See you at school”
“Bye Brianna” he hung up. He hated his so called brother. Andrew sure did know how to get on Xavier’s nerves. Xavier actually liked talking to Brianna. She was sweet and beautiful. She was nothing like the girls he knew, who were cold hearted and cruel. He didn’t like her friend James, he didn’t smell human.

Brianna woke up to the alarm on her cell phone. It was 6:30 and surprisingly she didn’t feel tired like she thought she would be. She heard the shower going, which meant James, was in the shower. It was good that he stayed over a lot because he already had extra clothes at her house. She went into her room and headed to her closet to raid for something to wear. She found some faded skinny jeans a black sweater and her black converse.
“Hey what’s up?” James said walking in her room drying his hair with the towel in his right hand. Brianna turned and looked he had no shirt on just his black sweat pants and his white with red Jordan’s.
“Nothing just finding some clothes to wear, so I can get in the shower” she said grabbing towel of her dresser drawer.
“Uh-huh well I’m going to eat something do you want anything?” he asked
“Umm no I’ll buy something at school” Brianna said hanging up James’s wet towel on her desk chair.
“Oh okay. Don’t take too long or I’ll break down the door” he said with a grin
Brianna giggled as she headed to the bathroom. She took 20 minutes in the shower. She dressed herself, dried her hair, and headed downstairs to meet James. “Ready to go?” James asked as he picked up his keys from the counter
“Yeah” Brianna said grabbing her bag from the counter as well.
“Okay lets go, we don’t want to be late” James said as he opened the front door and stepped out. Brianna followed him.
James almost ran into Xavier. “what the hell?!” he yelled

Chapter 6
Brianna stood there speechless. She couldn’t believe that Xavier was standing in her drive way. She heard James cursing as he avoided running into Xavier again. She had a feeling the boys didn’t really like each other by the way they were standing there, their eyes shooting daggers at each other. If only a look could kill Brianna thought. “Hey” she said smiling at Xavier “I didn’t know you knew where I lived”
“I didn’t but I asked one of your friends and she gladly told me” he said breaking into a smile
“Figures” James mumbled
Xavier shot James an annoyed look “anyways I thought I’d stop by and say sorry for last night”
James gave Xavier a fishy look “what about last night?” he said eyeing both of them suspiciously
“Oh! Xavier it’s okay!” Brianna said. She turned to James and flashed him a smile “its okay James, we just talked it was nothing”
James gave Xavier a hateful glare “better not for your sake” he hissed. Then he turned to Brianna “you ready to go since Romeo already apologized?”
Xavier cleared his throat “actually I was wondering if maybe you wanted to catch a ride to school with me” he said glaring at James then smiling at Brianna
Brianna had butterflies in her stomach. Xavier went through all that trouble just to come and apologize and now he wanted to take her to school. She could almost scream with happiness. She grabbed James by the shoulder and asked “is it okay if I ride with Xavier?”
James felt like punching Xavier in the face but he couldn’t do it in front of Brianna, she would hate him. He was about to start bitching but when he looked at Brianna’s face, he saw how happy she was, he couldn’t say no. “Fine by me, I’ll ride solo then” he stomped all the way to his truck
Xavier watched James leave, he knew he pissed him off and Xavier really didn’t care. It just pissed him off that James seemed so controlling over Brianna.
Brianna didn’t mean to piss of James; she just wanted to see Xavier. “We should get going” she said after a moment of awkward silence
“Yeah” Xavier said as he began to make his way to his car.
Brianna was impressed by Xavier’s car, it was a black corvette. “I love your car” she said
“Yeah? Thanks, I heard it’s a chick magnet” he said grinning
Everyone stopped and starred as Brianna and Xavier got out of the car. Xavier opened her door; he even walked her to her locker. The girls gave Brianna hateful stares but Brianna didn’t care. When she reached to carry her books from her locker Xavier took them. They entered chemistry together; they seemed to get everyone’s attention. Brianna made her way to the back of the room to sit at her lab table with James.
“How was it?” he asked without looking her
Brianna knew he was still bad “it could have been worse” she said choosing her words correctly
A smile crossed James’s face as he imagined it. “Nice to know” he grinned he looked at her then asked “hey you want to go somewhere after school?”
“Don’t we have practice today?”
“Pft no, teachers have to go to a meeting after school”
“Oh I didn’t know that! Where do you want to go?” she asked
Xavier was overhearing the conversation that James and Brianna were having. He was sitting in the table in front of them with lexis who kept trying to flirt with him.
James acted like he was hurt “what?” Brianna asked panicking
“I can’t believe you don’t remember!” he said acting shocked “it’s our anniversary!”
Brianna gasped “Oh my god!” She squeezed his hand “I forgot!”
“I know” James said laughing now. It was their friendship anniversary. They had known each other since kindergarten. They had met in school and have been inseparable ever since.
“I haven’t bought you anything though! I’m the worst best friend ever!” Brianna said sliding down her chair.
“Calm down, I forgive you for forgetting. We just need to go shopping for the presents and then go somewhere and eat.” James explained calmly.
“Okay, I’ll go shopping for your present after school”
“Okay, I already made reservations for 8 o clock tonight”
“Okay then” Brianna said. The bell rang and James left since he had asked for the rest of the day off. Brianna was stuck at school for the rest of the day. She ran into Xavier before second period started. She almost slammed into him. “Oh hi” she said surprised to see him.
“Hey. Didn’t mean to scare you” he said grabbing her fallen books.
“Umm…its okay” Brianna wanted to leave. She had completely forgotten about James. She had to go and buy him the perfect gift.
Xavier looked at Brianna she seemed distracted “hey” he said grabbing her arm “you okay?”
“Oh um yeah!” Brianna tried to give Xavier smile but it never reached her lip “well not really” she admitted “I forgot that today was my anniversary with James”
“Oh so you are together” Xavier said he hated how his voice sounded jealous.
“Oh no it’s not like that...it’s our 12th anniversary being best friends but I have no present” she sighed the tardy bell rang but neither of them moved.
“Well why don’t you leave school go and buy him a gift?” he suggested when he saw how upset she was.
“I would but I have no car at the moment”
“I can take you”
“Really?”
“For you, I would”
“You would do that?” Brianna asked blushing
“Yeah” Xavier smiled softly. He grabbed her hand and they left the school hand in hand

I don’t know what to get him” Brianna said after looking around for hours.
“Well what does he like?”Xavier asked bored. He really wasn’t interested in what James wanted he just wanted to be with Brianna. He really needed to get a grip, he knew she wasn’t his kind, that she was human yet he couldn’t stay away.
“James likes a lot of things” she said sitting down on a chair in the food court.
Xavier sat across from her
“Oh” Brianna said smiling broadly “a necklace!” she got a puzzled look from Xavier
She laughed “James always has this ugly necklace underneath his shirt, it has a paw imprinted on it but I’ve never seen it off of him. He’s always wearing except when he has practice or showers. Come on!” she stood up and pulled on Xavier’s hand.
“This one!” Brianna pointed at the necklace, it was beautiful. It was a silver cross with black stones on a leather string. “Its gorgeous” she breathed “how much is it?” she asked the sales lady
“Its $500 dollar, its on sale it was originally $800.”The lady said
Brianna looked shocked but then smiled and said “I’ll take it”
The lady grabbed the necklace of the display and it in its box “do you want it wrapped?”
“yes please” Brianna didn’t know what time it was but she still had to go home and get ready. “All set” the sales lady said “your total is $505.36”
Brianna pulled out her credit card. It was 6:15 when they finally left the mall “thank you for coming with me” she said shyly to Xavier as they got in his car
“Your welcome” Xavier replied as they pulled out of the mall parking lot they arrived at her house 10 minutes later. Xavier put the car in park
“Well thank you again Xavier, for everything, I owe you one” she said as she reached for the door handle
“you sure do” he said. Brianna laughed. It was a nice laugh not like the cold sarcastic laugh he heard from jennate.
“I’ll call you later” he said shifting the car to drive
“Okay” Brianna got out of the car and headed straight to the bathroom to take a shower. She got out 23 minutes later. She checked her phone; she had two missed phone calls from James.
“You ready?” he asked as soon as he answered
“Not yet. I barely got out of the shower”
“I’m already ready” he said happily. He sounded so proud of himself, like a three year old who finally went to the bathroom all by himself. “I’ll pick you up around 7:45 okay?”
“Yeah okay. Don’t be too early” Brianna joked and hung up
she went to her closet, it was crammed with clothes. She grabbed her black skinny jeans that hugged her waist. She found a taupe daytrip baby doll mesh tank top, that she had gotten for Christmas. She searched for her burgundy motto zipper jacket. She went to dry her and put on some mascara and lip gloss. She heard a honk outside; she ran downstairs and ran into James
“Ow” she said
James laughed “sorry”
“Its okay” she said getting her grey flats.
When they arrived at the
