Flashback *
“ mom just tell me where we're goin” I said enthusiastically, mom just turned and looked at me smiling ,“you'll see “ ,I gave a dissapointed look and drawled “ mom..... “
“ honey I don't wanna ruin your surprise, so I'd wanna keep it a secret until we're there “
“okay mom “ I said smiling trying to hide my sad face, I turned away and looked at the window then looked back at my mom
When I saw her looking forward and faced the same direction, she was shouting at dad and was fighting over the steering wheel suddenly they lost control of the car and our car collided with a truck......
I woke up looking around at the environment I was in, I looked at the monitor that showed my heart rate anđ held my forehead as I was suffering from severe headache, I reached for a cup of water and felt weak but not withstanding I took the drip off my hand and walked towards the door it wasn't locked so I took a step and my legs and feet felt wobbly I couldn't feel my legs, I took small step and made my way through two wards and just as I was about to move forward I looked in the third ward and there i saw my parents on the hospital bed and my dad's lawyer beside him they put the covers on his face and that on my mother face also , I froze when I heard him tell my dad's lawyer that that's all he could do, I melted my heart shattered and I fell to the ground crying and shouted, they noticed me and rushed to get me back to the ward and before they could get to me I passed out
I woke up again in the same ward ,I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times to adjust to the ray of the sun light reflecting through the window and then turned my head slightly and looked at the person beside my bed and knew from just one glimpse it was dad's lawyer,he held my hand almost lovingly , I yanked my hand away and he just smiled, but I did the opposite “why “ I asked not giving a hint of what I meant but he understood “ I sorry Ella I didn't want that to affect you it would have been so unbearable for you to have found out sooner... “ I didn't let him finish “ well now I know they're no more “ I said with teary eyes and pulled the covers over my head and sobbed almost quietly, my dad's lawyer stepped out and spoke to the doctor a little later I heard footsteps approaching the door and I saw my mom's best friend, casually dressed in plain office wear , he moved close to me and hugged me “ I'm so sorry “ I held her and cryed my heart out and said drawing in thin breath “ they are all liars my parents didn't die…, they didn't, it's all a prank... “ she stayed silent with teary eyes “miss? “ I said hoping for a positive answer but she shook her head “ I'm sorry honey “ I squeezed the sheets and cryed along with her, “ I can't believe this “ .“ me too it all happened suddenly “ , she helped me stand And within a matter of hours I stopped crying ,I got in her car and she drove off ,the ride was quiet and almost deafening she noticed it and wanted to liven things up. “ so ella... am i right? “ i nodded as a response and she saw me through the front mirror. “don't be scared to ask if you need anything just tell me “ I nodded as a response not willing to talk as I was still in a state of shock ,she sensed my discomfort and stayed quiet though out the ride

i stepped out of the car and looked around, and focused my eyes on the well furnished apartment and exhaled I finally get to breath fresh air unlike the spirited _mentoled air that fills the air in the clinic, I moved towards the door and she says an unfamiliar name, “ Xander.... Xander ! “ she sighed and opened the door with the spare key , I walked in and looked at the stairs and an unfamiliar face appears, he moved downstairs ccausally and moved closer “ mom? “ , she hummed while she unpacked her groceries “ yes darling? “ ,“ who's she? “ I pretended not to know what's happening and sat on the family's size couch ,she whispered to him “ she just lost her parents and that's the worst thing that could happen to any child of her age please let's try to Welcome her here and please don't add more to her problem “ she kissed his forehead and went to the upstairs bedroom
i moved closer to her and extended my arm towards her, “hi I'm Xander , what's your name “, from his stature anyone who saw him would think of his as an eleven year old , he was so tall he towered me, “I looked up at him with my eyes swollen I said with little effort “ I'm.... I'm Gabriella but.. You can call me Ella “ okay Ella, you wanna tell me what happened “ I remembered and got a little furious “ it's none of your business “ I stood up and went to the kitchen to have a glass of water “ he followed me up “ comon Ella we ccould talk about this I just wanna know” I got angry and shouted “ I just told you I don't wanna talk about it so f**k off “I quickly composed myself and reality hit me “I'm sorry... I didn't know, that kinda snuck out “ I said looking down, he sat at the handle of the sofa “ I'm the one who should be sorry, I just wanted to try and comfort you but I think I failed huh? “ he said almost pitifully ,I felt sober and drew closer to him, “ why are you being so... nice to me “ I looked at him ,“ because... I like you and I want you to be my friend and plus your gown is pretty and looks good on you “ . he smiled and I blushed “ you think it's pretty? “
I looked down at my pink polka-dot dress my mom had bought for me on thanksgiving, he looked at me in the eyes and looked down shyly, “ yeah but not as pretty as you “ And from that moment I started Liking Xander it even got worse when I got a double promotion, and moved in to Xander's class, yeah I'ma nerd! . book is pretty much Evey thing I'm good at....

End of flashback
Its 9am In the morning and I'm sitting at my bedroom window trying to calculate the velocity of a car but I kept thinking of how I like Xander romantically and hoping that one day just one day he'll learn to love me and I won't stop loving him until that day com..... ,I was interrupted by the sound of a knock on my door, I stood up and reached for it but peeped into the hole at the door and saw Xander, I quickly put aside all my scattered notes and picked up my clothes and under garments from the tiled floor, I looked around and inspected the room one more time before opening the door, i drawled while panting like an antelope who had just been chased by an hungry lion “ Heyy Xander “ he looked down at me and his hairs covered His eyes and he quickly put them aside ,” what took you so long , I stood here for about an hour “ he said jokingly and I exhaled quietly as if whispering something sacred, i examined his face, how the sun shown on the perfect angle of his face, how his lips appeared more fuller and how his blonde hair covered his eyes from time to time ,he snapped at me and immediately broke me from my thoughts, “ I'm sorry “ I didn't hesitate. At eighteen Xander was tall and hot as heck, he picked up my pillow and threw himself on my bed throwing all my books and my diary on the floor I immediately bent Down and picked up my notes and wanted to reach for My diary when Xander suddenly picked it up ,” what's this “ he examined the book and flipped the first page and he didn't needed to be told twice to know it was a diary, “somebody has a secret “ he smirked playfully at me, I pretended not to care but I suddenly thought of what would happen if he opens it and sees all my erotic thoughts about him it could ruin our friendship and worse I would never have xan.... ,I quickly snatched the book and changed the topic “what brought you here?”
“well I just wanted to.... hey you smart girl you're changing the topic “ he stood up and held my arm and pinned me to the wall “ quick question, what were you thinking about ?“ I didn't write have an answer or neither can I lie to him but I needed to break free from him or else I might just end up confessing my feelings for him ,I bent down and picked up the remains of my books, he picked up my pillow lying beside him and threw it playfully at me, I caught it mid air and placed it at My reading table “ comon Ella what were you thinking about “. I started sweating and tried my possible best to come up with something, I couldn't and ended up embarrassing my self by becoming a starmerer “ I..... I...... was thinking.... About... The... I mean that assignment on physics?, he looked at me and raised an eyebrow signifying he had no clue of what I meant ,I cleared my throat and continued as though that'll do me any good not to stammer ,” you know.... velocity of a car? Does that ring a bell? “ .“ yeah I rolled forgot “ he stated and we both laughed ,seeing him laugh was mind-blowing, he had the most cutest and innocent laugh that anyone could melt for. he continued and stands on my bed dramatically and held my brush as a microphone, “ goodday beautiful and Ladyful” I chucked at his new found English ,he continued “ and we have our number one headline, Cordelia's throwin a party.“I held my hand close to my mouth pretending to throw up “ no thank you “.“comon Ella, this is a big chance for you to move around, socialize, make friends at least do what ever girls do, you can't just sit forever in you thinking chair or what ever you call it “,I frowned “ I can and it's an office chair, he waved it off and shrugged “ yeah sure they mean the same thing ,what I'm tryna say is that too could at least have some fun time not book all the time. I gritted my teeth and faced my physics assignment still undone, I sat back on my chair and got back to it although I know I was fooling myself, I could never think properly when Xander was around . He looked at me wanting me to give him a positive answer after a moment of silence I finally spoke up “I still won't change my mind id rather do my homework and get this physics pet with “.he thought for a moment and spoke reassuringly “ you'll be fine we could have fun and plus it'll be Luke the good old days and you could get along with Hayley. I thought of a moment alone with Xander no disturbances and my face lit up , but in every good tales there but always be a bad guy and for me it was Hayley ,she was my only obstruction from having Xander, “ really? You want me go and have fun,eventually ,I'm going to meet Mrs popular and her crazy cheerleader group, hell no! “he smirked and I knew he was up to something. “ Ella? “he said sweetly and playfully as if adressing a child , I tilted my head to the side ,” what now? “ .“ my girl friends birthday is tomorrow and I wanna surprise her. I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms, “ wait.. Who's her, I'm not... “
