ALLURA'S POV I arrive at school next morning still deep in thought about what I heard "Hello earth to princess" "firecracker" I answer dryly "You ok" "Since when do you care" "I don't just want to make sure you're ok , you'e the only one who knows how that trap works" "Ofc it's always business with you" "Yup" "You finished your part in the project" "Yes ma'am "Good". He rolls his eyes as he goes to meet up with Keith, as I close my locker, I see Imani "Jesus" "Sorry for scaring you" "It's cool, did you need anything" "I was wondering..." "Yh" "Do you know any..." "Luraaaaaa!". Before she continues Xyla calls more like shouts my name from her locker I hook hands with Imani as we head to Xyla's locker "What do u need buttercup" "Oh, nothing just greeting you" "Ofc you are. I turn back to imani "you were saying something" "I'm supposed to plan the winter ball what theme do you think is nice" "Thats months away we're just in fall" "Yes, but I like being prepared" "You can't plan life", I learnt that the hard way "Come on let's get going, I have math's this morning" **************** Lunch time and I'm trying to avoid entering the cafeteria in order not to draw questions to myself "Sneaking away princess" "Jesus what is it with people and scaring me today" "Not eating lunch" "Not hungry" "You know, you never are, I barely see you eat whenever your around us even xyla said you barely ate any cupcakes and if you do eat its fruits" "Stalking me now firecracker" "Nope just observing" "Observe someone else" "Nope". I roll my eyes as I seat on the grass outside "I used to be huge , like had a chubby body stature and it was terrible, the looks, people talking was just terrible then I started exercising but wasn't getting the result I needed fast enough so I went online and found some site where people were like starving and moderate eating worked for them, and at first I had to train myself not eat but after a while it happened unconsciously, until I didn't eat any real food for 3 days and sort of fainted and was diagnosed with anorexia , I was 13 at that time but after like 3 therapy sessions I stopped going and just learnt how to hide it well from everyone . I'm not telling you because I want pity, I'm telling you, so you stop your damn snooping" "Cause an opinion is popular doesn't make it damn true"

XAVIER'S POV To say I'm in shock is an understatement, I knew it was something just never thought it was this bad "I may not like you but I'm prettymuch bored so I'm going to help you" "No thank you" "Nope what you're going to do is eat , we'll start small, but you are so eating" I have no idea why I'm suddenly interested but i am "Nope" "Eat and I'll get you 3 books on your tbr" "I'm rich". She rolls her eyes "Ok I'll get you the new heel boot that just came out" "My mum's a fashion designer, I got those boots way before anyone" "I'll help you find out what's up with your parents". She immediately turns to me "How do you know" "My mother's a lawyer and your mum's best friend" "So meaning what's happening needs a lawyer" "Maybe" "Fine" "Just as were leaving the courtyard Keith heads to me" "Basketball training got canceled, coach sick" "He can get sick " I'm in shock "Same question I asked" "Well better for me I got to prep for the meeting my dad's having with potential investors " "Your 18 and worrying about boring stuff" "No, I'm 18 and I'm acting like it" "Yhyh" "Oh hey lura" Keith smiles are her "Hy Keith". Sorta forgot she was there but now that i take her in no one would think someone like her could even have an eating disorder or anything wrong. Bell rings and school moves fast, soon it's time to go home "Hey firecracker holdup". I turn to lura "What" "Since you don't have practice, you're helping me investigate " "Why will I do that" "Cause you said you will" "No, I said I'll tell you what I find out" "Yh never been patient". Before I know it, she's entering my car, I enter turn on the ignition and head to my place "So, what I know is my mum calling my dad mid meeting and him canceling said meeting immediately" "My parents been arguing lately but they always argue". Soon we're at my place and she's out "You know this is my first time here" "Really?" "Yup. Your sister been inviting me but not had the time to come " "Let's head to my mum's study should be clues there". Getting there luckily, she's not home. We start snooping and soon enough I hear a gasp I turn "Di..divorce papers" "Your parents". She nods "Ouch" "Not funny, Why .. tho". I shrug I arrange everything back to normal and then lead her to the upstairs lounge by the balcony "Whatever happens, happens for a reason". I hear her mumbling "What did u say" "My grandmother always said whatever happens, happens for a reason and it's the only thing that keeps me going so whatever is happening is happening for a reason" "Nice mentality but in reality, your parents are still getting a divorce" "Shut it" "Yes ma'am " She puts a call to her driver and soon he picks her up just as she leaves Xyla gets home "Where have you been" "Out" "With whom" "None of your business Mr investigator". I sigh and head to my room grab my laptop and work on some stuff, when a notification comes in telling me the trap been triggered, guess I'm skipping school tomorrow
