Episode 4
?Paris Myers?
“Uh?”. The words came out before I could help it.
“Who the fuck is there?”.
I quickly turn around resting on the pillar as Sam said that. My heart pounded as I tried thinking of a way to get out of here.
Oh jeez! What do I do?
“Sam”. Xavier spoke calmly. “Nobody is there”.
“But I heard a fuss”.
“Just forget about it, the principal doesn’t let anyone come up here. He knows its my private place”.
Huh? Private place!
Which means I shouldn’t be caught here by anyone at all. G©sh! How do I get out of it?
“But I heard a fuss there, man. Someone was watching us, I’m sure of that”.
“Sam”.
I pause hearing no words again so I turned to look back inside the room and widened my eyes seeing Xavier and Sam together.
Oh my go$h! But how? I mean, Xavier is so charming and hot, with many girls drooling over him.
And out of all the most beautiful girls, he’d rather date a boy or think of entangling with his fellow guy.
I shuddered thinking of how it would be like or how they’ll seem been a couple in public .
I glance into the room again and this time, my eyes met his as he was hugging Sam.
Oh my gosh! Just staring at him was so amazing. Xavier looked way more cuter in reality than in magazines and concerts.
He stared at me briefly before taking his eyes away not saying anything like I was no one important.
But wait. Ooh. Yeah. I’ve forgotten that I got an ugly scarred burnt face.
I decided to go back to where I left Aunt Jenny and quickly left that spot before Sam finds out someone was there.
“Phew!”. I placed my hand on my chest and breathed out calmly.
Just how Xavier looks is so enthralling.
I smiled as I remembered how he looked at me briefly with his cute baby lashes and those charming eyes of his.
I finally decided to run back to the office to meet Aunt Jenny. I got there and was let in to find her in a conversation with principal.
“Paris. Where have you been? I searched around you and even had principal Charles send one of his students to look for me”.
“Sorry, Aunt”. I replied her timidly. “I was just taking a look around, I didn’t mean to get you worried”.
“Its okay, Paris”.
“So you are Paris Myers?”. The principal who was a handsome man looking in his early forties asked.
“Yes, Sir”. I said politely. “Good morning, Sir”.
“Yes, she’s my niece. The girl I told you about, the one who’s getting registered in this school”.
“Okay. So Paris”. Principal Charles turned to me handing a file over to me. “Just fill in this form and you’ll be assigned to your new class, grade 12, that is”.
I collected it writing in my details while my Aunt Jenny talked to the principal.
Hm. Who knows if Xavier is in my grade as well?
“Here it is”. I handed the paper back to him.
He took it smiling warmly. “Welcome to Berkeley High, Miss Myers”.
“Thank you, Sir”. I appreciated standing up along with Aunt Jenny.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Charles”. Aunt said as well. “I really appreciate the effort”.
He only nodded as he exchanged a warm handshake with her and then he glanced at my face staring a little bit.
“What happened? An accident ?”.
I became conscious of the fact that he was staring at my scars. I quickly drag the hoodie head more to cover my face partly.
“Yes, it was an accident”. Aunt replied as she glanced at me. “But all its bygone”.
“Oh”.
“Lets go, Paris”.
I nodded and left with feeling awful about having to be reminded about the accident.
“So Paris”. Aunt faced me. “This is your new school and I’ll need you to stay out of trouble, pay attention, okay?”.
“Okay but what about Rio?”.
“Rio will be fine, Paris. I’ll take him to the hospital later on and talk about having a surgery for his legs, okay!”.
“Okay”.
She smiled and tugged on my cheeks as she was about to leave but I held her back embracing her.
“Thank you, Aunt, for everything”. I told her tearfully.
She patted my back. “Paris, darling. You don’t say thanks to me, we are family”.
I sniffed as I pulled away and she wiped my tears away from my cheeks with her hands.
“I know but somehow, I feel like I owe you or something like that. Aunt Jenny, you are so nice to have taken my brother and I in”.
“Paris”. She began. “Your mom and I are sisters, she was my best-friend and I love her so much to the extent I became jealous when she got married to your Dad leaving me all alone”.
“I know”. I chuckled slightly. “She told me all about that”.
“And I bet she also told you that I wanted to get pregn@nt around the same time with her so she waited for me to get married”.
“She told me that too”. I said laughing at the thought.
“Good. So now, Paris. All the love I had for your mother will be transferred to you and Rio, I love you both like my own, okay?”.
“Okay, Aunt”. I sniffed back tears.
“And you can call me Mum if you want, hmm? But I want it too, just to be clear”.
I laughed again. “Okay, Mum”.
“Now go on to classes or you’ll be late”.
I smiled and nodded giving her a last hug before walking off. She waved at me and I smiled heading to my class.
At least. I’ve got someone to love me. And thats refreshing to hear.
I looked at my surroundings as I walked noticing the classy boys and girls that went past me.
Hm. Why won’t they be classy! All of the students here at Berkeley High are wealthy and most of them come from privileged families too.
Through the use of the school map, I found my classroom and then stepped in.
Unfortunately, for me, the teacher was there already and she stopped on seeing me walk in.
“Good morning, Miss. And you are?”.
“Paris Myers, the new student”. I replied her shyly.
“Introduce yourself to the class, please”.
I turned to face the class gulping nervously on sighting Tiffany among the students and she rolled her eyes looking away.
I paused and made a mental calculation noticing that the only was besides ….
Oh Em Gee! Xavier Marion!
Jeez! How did he get here before me? Did I take that long in the principal’s office!

?Xavier Marion?
“I missed you”. He said burying his face in my neck hugging me.
“The movie shoot?”.
“I had to kss a girl in one of the scenes”.
I scrunched up my face at the thought of him having to do that. He chuckled and looked at me staring into my eyes.
“I like it when you sound all jealous”.
“How cheesy!”.
I pause on hearing that voice to see Violet by the door crossing her arms as she glare at us.
“Violet?”.
“Xavier. Its time for class, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to spend your whole day being with him”. She replied rolling her eyes at Sam.
Well for some reason, they don’t get along.
“Cool that a$$ off, barbie. Xavier can stay with me all day long if he wants”. Sam said.
“Well sorry to disappoint you but I’m not letting him do that. Xavier, lets go now or I will tell Mr. Reynolds that you are skipping classes”.
Trust Violet to always get me to do stuffs.
I look at Sam apologetically and he nodded motioning for me go if I want. I plant a soft kss on his cheeks before leaving.
“Okay, that was disgusting what you did there with him!”. Violet said as we walked down the hallways.
“When are you going to accept that Sam and I are a thing?”.
“The day you say it to the public”.
“You know I can’t do that”. I told her quietly thinking about the consequences.
“I thought as much. I mean, what do you even see in Sam that makes you wanna date him?”.
“Its my choice, Violet. Deal with it”.
“I can’t deal with it, Xavier!”. She yelled at once stopping in her tracks. “How can you fall in love with a guy! It sickens me”.
“And it sickens me that you don’t support me!”.
I walked ahead of her ignoring her calls as I went to class. I got oblivious of the stares from the females as they saw me in the hall way.
I stopped by my class and stepped in. The teacher paused seeing me but I ignored her presence heading to an empty seat.
•Oh Em Gee! Its Marion!!
•He’s so cute
•I wanna taste him in bed
I scoffed hearing the last statement as I sat down ignoring their flirty gaze.
Trust them to always be so desperate.
I sigh and fixed on my bluetooth speaker in my right ear as I played one of my music.
For a while now, I’ve been trying to write new lyrics but all to no avail. I was thinking of doing a collaboration with a female.
But … I can’t. I don’t wanna get seduced all over again.
I heard the front door click open and then the teacher say something. I pause hearing another sweet voice followed.
“Introduce yourself to the class, please!”.
I look up just as that was said and our eyes locked instantly. I immediately recognized her as the girl of earlier this morning.
Not because of her hoodie.
Not because of her face.
But her blue eyes, they held emotions.
“I’m Paris Myers”. She spoke up looking around nervously.
Dark brown hair, oceanic sea light blue eyes, pink small curved lips and a pointed perfectly shaped nose.
Okay, this is the first time in since that I’ve looked at a girl in this angle.
And one thought crossed my mind. She’s beautiful.
