Chelsea’s pov
Gosh! I was really so angry. I didn’t expect Xavier to have defended Delaney.
It made me really speechless and dumbfounded.
I never thought that Xavier would stand up for her.
Throughout the day in school, I wasn’t myself. I kept thinking about the whole incident. Somehow, Xavier made me look a fool and a liar in front of the students.
My mind was also centered on Xavier – would he be mad at me?
Argh!

“Xavier, please let me explain.” I begged and held unto Xavier’s arm.
He turned swiftly and his eyes held no expression, just a hard glare.
Oh God! What have I done?
“What is it Chelsea?” He groaned.
“Look Xavier, I’m sorry. I didn’t…” I gulped down nervously.
“Really Chelsea? Why would you stoop so low to frame Delaney? I thought you were better than that.
What did she ever do to you?” He asked and removed my grip away from his arm.
“It wasn’t intentional Xavier, I swear. It was all Brianna’s idea. I didn’t want to do it but Brianna forced me to.” I pouted and rubbed my sweaty palms together.
“Really? So, if Brianna tell you to put your finger in hot water or fire, you will do it right? Your excuse is lame Chelsea.” He hissed.
My heart ached as Xavier spat out those words angrily.
He’s so pissed at me and it’s something that pricks my heart, so much.
“Xavier, look I’m sorry. Real sorry.
I made a mistake, yes but I’m sorry.” I apologized.
“Why are you apologizing to me? I wasn’t the one who was framed.” He scoffed and started towards the the entrance of the house.
“Xavier, I’m sorry.” I said, almost in tears.
“You shouldn’t apologize to me but Delaney. I wasn’t the one you wronged.” He sighed lowly and entered into the house, slamming the door shut.
G0sh!
Apologize to that girl?
Humph!
Why does he care anyways?
Argh!

Hera’s pov
I sat in my room, deep in thoughts.
I don’t know how long I’ve spent here on Earth but I know I’ve stayed so long already.
I was sent here on for a purpose and not just to dwell in this place.
Mom’s life is at stake here and it’s better I hurry up with my plans before it’s too late.
But where do I start from?
Where do I start looking for Delaney?
How would I know where she stays?
Oh God!
I really need to act fast so I’ll be able to save mom and the throne.
I really need to.
I’ve been out with Emily for sometime and I know a few directions. I know places here on Earth and I know the road that leads to the places too.
I sighed softly and rolled on my bed, feeling uncomfortable and disturbed.
I need to map out my plans on how to leave the house without Emily knowing. I’ll just have to try my luck and see if I can get any lead at all to meet Delaney.

Delaney’s pov
“Thank you so much Xavier. I didn’t think you’ll take side with me and defend me.” I smiled appreciatively at Xavier who was taking off his shoes.
“Yeah.” He mouthed, his gaze still on his shoes.
“I’ll take my leave now.” I smiled and turned around to leave but his voice made me hault.
“Delaney, would you be busy?” He asked and he sounded nervous.
I turned around and tried to hide my smile as I stared at him. He was already on his feet and he was close to me – a little.
I breathed out and nodded my head negatively, “no. I don’t really have anything to do.”
“Okay. So, I was thinking if maybe you’d like to go out with me after we’ve had dinner. I just thought maybe we could go to some fun places, like the beach.
You don’t know places around so, I was wondering if you would agree to go with me since I could show you some really fun places.” He rushed his words, not stopping to catch his breathe.
I almost bursted out laughing because of how tensed he looked but I stopped myself.
I smiled lightly and bit the side of my cheek to prevent me from blushing too hard.
Oh my!
Did Xavier really say those words to me just now?
Geez! This is a dream come true.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to.” He rolled his eyes and went to seat on his bed.
“No, no, no Xavier. I really want to go with you. I’d love to go with you and yes, I’ll go with you.” I rushed my words, shaking my head vigorously.
G0sh!
Why on Earth would I want to miss such an opportunity?
“Really?” He asked and smiled lightly, but the smile disappeared just the way it came.
“Yes.”
“Then get prepared, after dinner, we’d be going out.” He said and without looking at me, he hastily got into another door in his room.
“Oh my! I’m going out with Xavier!” I exclaimed happily and I didn’t know when I jumped on his bed.
I think I’m gonna explode with joy!
My heart feels like it’s gonna explode because of the joy I felt.
I’m so happy!
I giggled excitedly and continued to jump happily on his bed.
