Chapter 33 The Lover Boy

Xenon's POV

I'm lying on the couch thinking about her, I can't get her face out of my mind. Her eyes... it's very similar to the eyes of a person I owe my life. It's impossible! It can't be her! She's just a girl... A vulnerable girl.

It is possible that a person can have the same emotions, especially because of their past. My eyes might see she's emotionless but my senses felt otherwise.

I can feel sadness radiating from her that I felt like wanting to hug and comfort her. I can sense her yelling for help that I wanted to run and help her. Agh! What's happening to me!?

I immediately sit up and suddenly lay back down, I forgot I am wounded. I can stand up and move but I need to do it carefully.

That night... we've been framed.

I thought I'll gonna die that moment... the moment when men came and there's no way I can escape them. They were expert assassins, they locked the door so no one can escape it.

I had one option but it only has 2% of chances, I can live. If, my body can bear the wounds. That is to fight. But then, when I looked around 6 men are already lying. Dead.

But, I only killed three of them.

I was so confused as to who did it, so I looked around and sensed someone on the top of the tower above the clock, I can see the shadow... I sent my friends to look in there but they see no one.

It's impossible! No one can get away that fast! No one can kill three-person in an instant without making noise.

Without making noise... Then it struck me, there is one... The Silencer!

The Silencer saved me once 7 years ago... I know it was The Silencer. But now it saved me twice. Now, I owe my life to The Silencer, twice. I don't know the identity but I think it's a guy. It should be...

"Hey Xen! We're going out for lunch wanna come?" Adrian asked walking towards me which made me brought back to reality.

"Come on Xen, it's my treat!" Coby added trying to convince me, he just went out of his room.

"No, thanks," I stated, I'm tired of thinking of many things.

"Come on guys! Leave him, I'm excited to see Claire." Lucas said while grinning, holding the doorknob.

Claire. I suddenly stand up. "Wait for me! I'll gonna go get the key." I yelled while hurriedly walking towards my room and take my car key. I heard small laughs and whistles coming from them. Tch. I ignored them.

On our way, Adrian is nervous, tch lover boy. He's been loyal to only one girl, and that is Drena, they are childhood friends but more likely a childhood sweetheart. Adrian, Coby, and I became close friends 5 years ago which made Drena also close to us.

We met Lucas 3 years ago, he's genius especially when it comes to technologies but he was always bullied because of his Nerdy looks. We saved him from bullies one day and he started going out with us. Then he changed and become Lucas right now.

We're not in a gang but our friendship is more than like a gang, we are inseparable.

The four of us including Drena are friends but because of the incident 2 years ago... Everything changed.

I didn't realize we have reached the restaurant. The moment we got out of the car, the boys smiled, and I? I can hear my heartbeat slamming so fast in my chest the moment my eyes landed on her. I don't understand... Why?

Suddenly, someone patted my shoulder. I looked at the culprit, Lucas.

"She will melt." He whispered, I looked at the others to see that they are already walking towards the door. I didn't realize I've been watching her through the glass.

Lucas started walking with a grin "Love at first sight." He mumbled still grinning while shaking his head.

Tch. I started walking behind them. The moment they opened the door the students came to silence and then started whispering to one another, some are giggling, while the others looked with fear and anger.

I ignored them as I stared at the back of a girl... The girl that has been invading my mind for days.

I'm behind the boys, but before Coby passed them, he pushed the back of Cassy's head softly but it made her lowered her head. She suddenly stands up and looked at him with anger, but Coby scratched the back of his neck innocently while walking slowly. I bit my lower lip, hiding my smile.

"What's your problem!?" She held Coby's hand and made him face her.

"What are you talking about?" He asked looking innocent. It angers Cassy more.

I can feel Adrian looked at Drena with love and longings. As he continues walking, passing her.

He glared at the guys sitting on the table beside the girls' table. So, the guys started fixing their things and walked away with fear.

He took the seat near Drena, they are back facing each other, but I know they're feeling one's presence. Lucas stopped but I continue walking towards the chair that is facing Adrian and takes a seat.

I can see Claire from here, Coby and Cassy still bickering but suddenly my blood boil when I saw Lucas faced Claire with a smile.

"Claire! Nice to meet you again!" Lucas teased her while grinning, holding the head of her chair.

I didn't realize I let out a snort which made Lucas smirked. He heard it.

"Do you have plans for later?" He asked, I know he's teasing me but I can't stop myself from clenching my hands in a fist.

I smirked when he got no answer from her.

"Hey, Claire!" He snapped but still, he was ignored. She's still eating her food ignoring everyone or she's thinking loudly that she ignored everyone?

"Tch, fine." Lucas got annoyed stomping his foot and walked towards our table, he took a seat near the glass window back facing it. I smirked and bit my lip.

Why do I react like this!? Her?! That girl?!

I looked at her, she's so pretty... from her slashed black hair that cascaded through her waist it looks so smooth, I want to touch it. Her pale skin that contrasted her feature, it's glowing, I want to caress it. Her pink lips look so soft I want to kiss it. Her bangs and dark hair complement each other... She's like an Angel! My angel...

- Wait, what!? Oh no. You gotta be kidding me! I can hear my heart, beating so fast! Shi*!

"Your food will get cold," Lucas said smirking while playing with his food.

I snapped out of my thought. I shake my head slowly and started eating.

Coby was already sitting in his chair straight from Cassy, they are still glaring at each other. Then, they started eating angrily.

We eat our foods in silence including the girls, the boys are trying not to talk especially about our business.

Suddenly, the door opened and fuc* Daniela. I really hate that girl, she's annoying me so much. As I drink my water I sensed her coming towards me, but I continue eating.

"Hello baby, I miss you." She said using her sweet voice while holding my shoulder. I shuddered in irritation but I ignore her.

She's behind me as she leaned closer in my ears and whisper "Don't you miss me?" She asked softly. I can't ignore it anymore!

"Get away from me Dane," I said in anger as my voice was hard and my hand clenched.

She suddenly stands up, fear forming in her face. "Do-don't you like me anymore?" She asked stuttering.

I felt Claire stand up, followed by Cassy and Drena, they walked through the door out of the restaurant. My anger rises even more until I lost it.

I stand up and faced her "I don't like you and I never will! So get the fuck away from me or I'll kill you!" I shouted at her enough for everyone to hear.

I heard them gasped, and I walked out angrily leaving her dumbfounded.
