Delaney’s pov
I continued to stare at Xavier as I dangled the n£¢klace in front of him.
How the hell did he get it?
Why is it with him?
There are so many unanswered questions that I want him to answer so badly.
“Laney…it’s not what you think okay?” He twitched hisl-ips and moved closer to meet me. W stood, facing each other and not saying anything.
The room was quiet with just the sound of our breathing.
The silence was starting to make me feel uncomfortable because Xavier wasn’t saying anything – just staring at me, and I was staring back at him – like we were having a staring contest.
“So?” I cleared my throat, breaking the uncomfortable silence between the both of us.
Xavier broke the eye contact and sat on his be-d, staring at his feet.
“Talk to me Xavier! Did you steal this n£¢klace? Why is it with you?” I asked, trying ha-rd not to scream at his face.
It’s the first time I’ll feel the urge to shout at him and sp@ñk him real ha-rd on his head.
I know how bad I had felt when I had misplaced the n£¢klace.
I remembered it was p@rtially his fault because he had wanted to leave me all alone at home that day.
If he had taken me along with him, then maybe I wouldn’t have misplaced it in the first place.
But now, after weeks I suddenly got to find out the treasure I’ve been looking for is with the guy I live with.
“Okay, I don’t really have any long explanation and I would not bother to beat around the bush, I’ll just hit the nail on the head.
Alicia actually gave it to me – as a gift. I had accepted it and kept it.
It was just about two days ago she gave it to me. Though, it had looked strangely familiar, I still couldn’t tell where I saw it.
You shouldn’t get angry with me because I didn’t steal it. I haven’t even worn it.” Xavier finally spoke up, with his gaze at me.
“What! Alicia gave it to you?” I asked, bewildered. How did she end up with the n£¢klace?
But that night, I had seen her and asked her about it and she had denied seeing it.
So, if she didn’t really see it, then how did she end up with it?
She knew I was looking for a n£¢klace even after a brief description about it, then why didn’t she perhaps ask me if it was actually mine after seeing it?
She clearly stole it – for her to have claimed it as hers and given it to Xavier as a gift, then she stole it.
But why?
“You can decide to confront her if you think I’m lying.” He shrugged and stood up from the be-d.
I sighed lowly and stared at the n£¢klace.
“Is it yours?” He asked.
I nodded my head and mouthed, “yeah.”

Hera’s pov
I stared at the mirror for the umpteenth time, staring at myself.
I’m pretty…just like Delaney.
I’m sure gonna make Xavier look at me just the way he stares at Delaney.
“How do I look?” I asked with a smile as Emily walked behind me. I didn’t turn to look at her because I could see her from the mirror.
She smiled and placed a hand on my shoulder.
“Great Hera…you look just great.” She smiled sweetly at me.
Good! That’s exactly what I want to hear.
“Okay. I’m re-ady now.” I sighed and turned around too look at her.
“Alright, let’s go.”
I breathed in and out and started towards the door with Emily behind me.

Delaney’s pov
Alicia and I stood facing each other and staring at ourselves.
I wasn’t smiling and she had a plain expression too.
I just felt like ripping off her hair and slamming her ha-rd against the wall.
“Why did you call me Delaney?” She scoffed and broke the eye contact.
“Did you give this to Xavier?” I asked and brou-ght out the n£¢klace, dangling it in front of her.
Her eyes popped out shockingly as she stared at the n£¢klace.
“How…did you get this?” She stuttered, staring as if she’s seen a ghost.
“That’s not the answer to my question.” I snapped at her.
“Well…” She itched the back of her head and took her gaze to look at somewhere else.
“Well, I didn’t…”

Xavier’s pov
“Hey dude.” Rio smiled as he sat down on the vacant seat beside me.
We just rounded off our chemistry practical clas-s in the libr@ry. Just few students just like Rio and I decided to stay.
We were given twenty minutes before another clas-s will commence.
From the way Rio had been staring at me, I knew something was going on in that head of his.
I knew that he had questions to ask me and it’s question that’s gonna make me speechless and stutter.
I know Rio too well. He had a mischievous grin as he did his own practicals, but he occasionally glanced at me.
Now sitting down with a sm-irk on his face, I knew he was up to something.
“Yeah. I know that look Rio, so spill it out alre-ady.” I gro-an ed and rolled my ees at him.
Rio let out a hearty laughter and hit me lightly on my shoulder.
“Yeah, I know you too well Rio, your look gave you away.” I said.
“Yeah, definitely. You sure do know me too well. So, Xavier, I’ve been wanting to ask you this question but I’ve kept my mouth shut.
But it’s been bugging me and I really want to know. Why did you choose Delaney as prom d@t£?” He asked, looking all serious.
“I chose her because I didn’t have anyb©dy in mind.” I shrugged even if I know what I just said was a lie.
There’s more to why I decided to choose Delaney that even I couldn’t un-derstand.
I just wanted to choose her – I wanted her to be the one to walk beside me when I walk throu-gh the red carpet into prom.
I wanted her to be that lucky girl. Even if she’s naive, I still wanted it to be her.
“Xavier, you and I know that you just told a lie. There’s Chelsea, isn’t it? You’ve known Chelsea for too long not to have her chose her. And Delaney, you just met her weeks ago.
Why didn’t you choose Chelsea that you’ve known rather than choosing Delaney you don’t really know that well?” He asked with a scoff.
This guy knows me too well.
He’s always a smart as-s.
“You see Rio, the heart make decision and not the head. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how many years you’ve known someone – it can be days but your heart would still choose that person if it ones to.
My heart chose Delaney over Chelsea – even if I’ve been with Chelsea for years and Delaney for weeks, my heart still chose her.” I rounded off my speech.
I don’t even know how those words got formed in my head and processed it out from my mouth.
I’m not good with those kind of words and now coming from, I’m sure it sounds odd.
“Wow!” Rio cl@pped his hands and stared intently at me, with surprise on his face.
“I never knew the almighty Xavier is good with love words like this. When did you start giving love speech like this?” He tea-sed.
I rolled my eyes and punched him on his shoulder.
“Ouch!” He whined childishly and soothed his shoulder.
“St©p teasing me okay? I just said the words as it formed in my head.” I shrugged plainly.
“Okay, I know you’re not good with love – but from what you just said, I think you’re in love.
So, tell me, I promise not to tell anyb©dy, do you love Delaney?” Rio whispered and stared around, like he was checking if anyb©dy was coming – when someone’s about to do something bad.
“What! Are you crazy?” I g@sped out and knock him ha-rd on his head.
“Of course not!” I added hurriedly.

Alicia’s pov
“No, I didn’t…”
I didn’t dare say that loud – I just thought about it but I know I’ll be a bad person if I should say it.
I clamped my mouth shut and stared at the angry Delaney. I never knew she’d get to see the n£¢klace.
How did she get to know that the n£¢klace is with Xavier?
Xavier hadn’t wore the n£¢klace, so how did she know about it?
And how did she know I probably had given it to him?
This is really so confusing.
“Answer me! Did you give it to him?” Her harsh voice jo-lted me out of my reverie.
“Yes, I did.” I replied and gulped down nervously.
“Where did you get it from?” She asked, with her hands on her w@!st.
“I’m sorry.” I said and ran away.
I just don’t know what to say to her. That I stole it?
No way! I can’t let her see me as a purloiner!
I sighed lowly as I got to the clas-sroom.
I sat dejectedly on my seat and bowed my head on my desk.

Hera’s pov
I breathed in and out for the umpteenth time as Emily knocked on the hvge door, for the second time.
The door opened and a maid was standing beside it.
She smiled at us and ushered us in.
I clamped my hands together as I stared at my feet.
I’m really so nervous.
I hope things would turn out well today.

“Hey, st©p right there!”
I gritted my teeth in anger as I turned around.
I had tidied up the male room – whom I got to the know his name as Xavier.
Delaney was with him and they had been laughing so ha-rd ever since I entered the room and even finished cleaning.
He didn’t even spare me a side glance and I felt really hurt.
Why can’t he even stare at him for once?
I felt like gr-abbing his head and ma-king him turn to look at me, but I didn’t, I just bore it.
But Delaney, she was ma-king it too obvious that I wasn’t welcomed and I felt really angry.
I just felt like sma-cking her ha-rd on the face and ripping her long hair and leaving her bald.
“What is it?” I grumbled un-der my breathe.
Delaney sm-irked and stood up from Xavier’s be-d and walked closer to me – behind the door.
“I want you to take that tray over there Xavier and I use in eating to the kitchen and wash them…” She pointed towards the table that had a small tray with leftovers in it.
” Then, in the next twenty seconds, I want you to bring me h0t orange jui-ce – jui-ce that is boiled and very h0t.”

This Delaney ehh😂
