HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

‍️ XAVIER’s POV ‍️

“Hey, why did you do that?” She asked shyly and cleaned her cheek with the back of her palm.

“What?” I smirked and slurped from my orange juice box.

“It was weird you know. You should have just eaten from mine instead.” She said and focused back on her meal.

“The one from the side of your lips tasted better.” I winked at her.

She smacked the back of my palm lightly and when I took my gaze to look at her, she stuck out her tongue mockingly.

I gave her a playful glare and sipped gently from my juice box.

CHELSEA’s POV

I smiled with so much enthusiasm as I alighted from my car.

I breathed in and out and placed my backpack properly on my shoulder.

Still smiling like someone who’ve won a lottery, I made my way into the house.

The idea Brianna brought was so good and I so much love it. I’m definitely sure it’ll make Xavier to detest Delaney.

But there’s still a little problem – how to convince Rio to help us carry out the plan. His help is really needed in the plan Brianna brought out.

There’s no way I can make him do it by trying to give him money ; because he has money too.

But I’m gonna try my best so as to convince Rio to help with the plan.

I got inside the house and as usual, none of my parents where home.

I sighed dejectedly and made my way to my room ignoring the greetings from the maids.

I don’t wanna allow my parents absence to ruin my happy mood.

I strode to my room not allowing my parents absence not to get to me.

DELANEY’s POV

“Wait! What! Xavier did that?” Xavier’s mom shrieked – not angrily but with surprise and she looked happy too.

Okay, I just told her what Xavier did to me at the cafeteria – by taking off a piece of my cracker pizza and licking it and saying it taste like me.

“Yeah, he did that.” I shrugged and sat properly on her bed.

“Wow Delaney! That’s so nice!” She giggled happily.

“What do you mean?” I asked, not really getting the entire reason why she’s all enthusiastic about what I told her.

I wasn’t expecting her to get mad at me or Xavier but I still wasn’t expecting her to be this excited.

“This is a good step Delaney! A good step.” She smiled.

“A good step for what or towards what?” I asked with a creased eyebrows.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Don’t worry Laney. When the time comes, you’ll know.” She smiled and winked at me.

CHELSEA’s POV

Now, placing my pride aside, I decided to apologize to Delaney – well, it’s still in our plan.

Normally, I wouldn’t even dare apologize to anyone because as far as I’m concerned, I’m not always wrong.

My ego wouldn’t even let me stoop low to apologize especially to a lowlife like her.

But as it is right now, I’ve got no choice but to apologize to her.

‘so, Delaney I’m sorry for the other day.

I was a little but upset that day and I let my anger get the best part of me.

So, about me trying to frame you which is totally not true, I want to apologise sincerely.

I’m sorry for accusing you because I had a rethink and I think you aren’t guilty. So, I’m apologizing.” I rounded off my short apology speech that didn’t come from my heart.

It was tough saying those words to her, but I had to and I think I need an accolade for a drama well acted.

I studied her expression and she looked really shocked and surprised. Probably, because I look sincere.

Tch! In her dreams!

“It’s fine Chelsea. I’m sorry for talking back at you rudely the other day, I didn’t know why I was being rude.

And I’m happy you’ve finally come to accept that I didn’t steal your wristwatch and you’ve come to apologize to me too.” She smiled and her eyes lit up.

I mentally rolled my eyes and huffed disdainfully at her.

I gave her a faux smile and nodded my head.

‘sure. So, am I forgiven?”

“Yeah, sure. You know Chelsea, I really admire you but I’ve always wondered why you don’t like me.

I didn’t offend you but I knew you didn’t like me.” She sighed softly.

“I don’t hate you.” I simply said.

“Alright.” I forced a tight lip smile and turned to leave, “and don’t forget to let Xavier know that I already apologized.”

I secretly rolled my eyes and walked out of the field.

“We need to talk Rio.” I whispered and dragged Rio into the empty chemistry Lab.

He arched his eyebrows and stared curiously at me.

“Okay? What is it?” He asked.

“Firstly, do you like Delaney?” I asked with a slight frown.

He laughed and looked at me like I’ve just uttered the most unheard word.

“Who wouldn’t like Delaney?” He scoffed and smiled.

“Well, whatever! I need your help.” I said softly.

He ran his eyes all over my body and glanced sideways.

“Okay, what do you need my help for?” He asked impatiently.

“It’s about Xavier and Delaney.”

“Okay? What does that have to do with me?” He asked and rolled his eyes.

“Well…” I itched the back of my head.

“Xavier and I are playing a game and for me to win, I need your help.” I liked smoothly, giving him one of my cute smiles.

“Okay, can you just go straight to the point? What exactly do you need my help for?” He asked with impatient in his voice.

I moved closer him and whispered, “well, I want you to…”
