SAMANTHA
It's been a week since Xander sneaked into my room. Things have gone from eighty seven to one in a short span of days. Xander ignored me like I don't exist, there's just something about his attitude towards me that makes me feel uncomfortable. I hate that he pretends I don't exist after making me feel like I'm a part of things he can't live without. I hate that after what almost happened in my room that night, he pretends like it never did. Like he didn't just say something mega like me being the first girl he's ever wanted to go down on.
That line had a meaning behind it, it meant I was special. If mom didn't interrupt, a lot would have happened between us. Would I be willing to give him my v-card?
I don't know. But the high changes are probably yes. That answer turns to Ash the moment I see him pulling Jessy behind him into the football team bathrooms.
"Uh, excuse me for a minute, I'll be right back." I say to Noah and he nods, heading to the football field with Kim.
I walk over and place my hand on the doorknob, taking a deep breath in, I turn it and quietly push the door open. Noises reach me before I even see anything. I step closer and my eyes land on Xander and Jessy who are f*****g. Her legs are wrapped around his waist and he's f*****g her against the wall, hard.
Anger burns inside of me when he places her on a table and pushes up her skirt, then slowly, he dips his head between her legs and eats her out. I don't know why, but tears burn the back of my eyes. I squeeze them shut and feel them slide down the corner of eyes. Wiping at them angrily, I turn around and leave silently just like i came in.
He's a freaking liar. He would say anything just to make me let my guard down. Xander freaking Smith is a liar, and a f*****g red flag I've decided to burn from my life, forever.
"Are you okay?" Kim asks when I take a seat between her and Noah.
"Yeah," I lick my lips. "Everything is fine." Then I focus on the field, thankful that she doesn't press on.

Hanging out with Noah has taken my mind off a few things. I deleted every picture I had saved of Xander in my phone and his number too, I even blocked him on i********:. The guy is a jerk and I don't want anything to do with him anymore. Using each other isn't a problem, but being used is. Who the f**k would I kid? Xander is not someone I can do no strings attached with. I've had feelings for him for a very long time now.
I thought he liked me too, but he just wanted to use me, I bet he was laughing behind my back at how stupid I was to think that i would tame someone like him.
Shadows move in my peripheral vision and I walk closer to my curtain, I pull a small space open and peek at his room. He's standing in the middle in his full naked glory and a girl who isn't Jessy is kneeling in front of him, giving him a b*****b.
My jaw clenches as I watch his mouth open and his eyes close, then he licks his lips and gathers her hair in a fist, guiding her over his length. I pull the curtain back forcefully and stomp my way back to the bed.
Pulling out my phone, I go to my contacts and pull up one of the basketball team guy's number and text him.
Me: Hey, it's Sam, you put your number in my phone at that party.
His reply comes back immediately.
Well, the basketball team and football team aren't really friends. Each group feels they are superior than the other but to be honest, the football team, aka the Elites, are more superior and powerful.
It's no secret that Aiden and Xander hate each other, last year, Xander f****d Aiden's three years girlfriend and that's how their relationship ended. If I want to piss Xander off, then I'll have to go for Aiden. I know chances are high that he won't be bothered but it doesn't hurt to try.

After dressing up and texting Kim to check if Aiden and i can pick her up today, she replies with a shocked text.
Kim: Aiden Howard? Since when did you start seeing him? Thought you blew him off.
Me: Questions later, are you riding with us or not?
Kim: I would have loved to, but you know Bran is an elite and there's bad blood between them and the basketball team, we recently argued and I don't want to add fuel to the fire.
Me: It's okay, I understand. See you at school.
I jump into Aiden's car and let him kiss me on the lips. We are not a couple but we've been going with the flow. Noah was understanding when I told him I couldn't do it with him anymore. Nothing has changed between us, we are still friends without any awkwardness. It's not like he was in love with me anyway, he just found me attractive and that was it.
I get out of the car and heads turn, eyebrows raise and whispers are heard. Aiden takes my hand and we walk down the halls together, when we reach my locker, he spins me around and pulls me into him for a kiss. I snake my hand around his neck and kiss him back, when we pull apart, he smirks down at me and I smile, pushing at his chest.
"Go, you'll be late for your meeting with your coach." I giggle.
He kisses me one last time then his eyes look over my shoulder, his grin widening.
"See you later, baby." Then turns around and leaves.
I turn to my locker with a smile still on my lips but it drops when I find the entire football team looking at me.
My eyes move to Xander and he looks extremely pissed.
Well, why the f**k is he even angry?
I ignore them, take out what I need from my locker and then slam it shut with force then walk to class.
The entire time, I feel eyes burning holes in the back of my head. When the siren rings, I stand and quickly pick up my books, putting them inside my bag and walking out of the classroom. It's lunch break, so everyone is in the cafeteria. I head to the bathroom and splash water on my face. Staring at myself in the mirror, I sigh. What the hell am I doing?

I sit at the table with Aiden and his friends, his arm is over my and he steals a french fry from my plate.
"Hey!" I scold. "You have yours over there."
"I know, but I want yours."
He starts fighting for my food and I laugh as we wrestle.
"No, stop!" My laughter fills the space.
"Fine," he laughs and lifts his hands up in surrender. "I won't attack your food."
A throat clears beside me, I look up and find Kim staring down at me.
"Sam, can we talk for a bit?"
"Sure," I smile up at her and stand. Aiden grabs my arm and pulls me down to his mouth for a quick kiss.
I grin.
"I'll be right back."
I'm really starting to catch feelings for Aiden, he might dislike the elites but at least his feelings for me are genuine. Kim pulls me to a corner and lets out a deep breath.
"Sam, what are you doing?"
I frown.
"What do you mean?"
She runs her fingers through her smooth blond hair.
"Aiden?" She arches a brown.
I roll my eyes.
"This is because of the elites? Kim, I have every right to be with whoever I want, you're with Brandon and I'm not complaining just because he's not a Supreme."
"I know, I know that. But Xander...Sam you've wanted this for so long so why are you throwing that opportunity away after you finally have his attention?" She asks with a frustrated tone.
"You don't know anything, Kim. It's more than what you see."
"Then tell me. I'm your best friend, Xander is upset about you and Aiden, what's going on? You can't do stupid s**t like this Sam. You've never liked that group's guts, so why them over Xmas!"
"Because he was f*****g Jessy!"
Kim's eyes widen at that.
"What?" She asks as if she heard me wrong.
