Girl Next Door ✔️

Chapter 22

Me: How the hell did you get my number?

Antony: I have my ways.

I rolled my eyes reading that.

Me: Let's get to the point. Why are you texting me?

Antony: Are you really that excited to know what I'm gonna tell you? I'll give you a hint, this isn't really a nice thing, so don't get your hopes up.

What exactly is he trying to get?

Me: Are you gonna come to the point or should I simply block you?

Antony: Aah, you're a feisty one. You're truly one of a kind. No wonder, people are betting on you.

People betting on me? What was he talking about?

Me: What are you talking about? What bet?

Antony: I don't think I should be the one telling you this...

I'm really confused right now.

Me: Don't you dare leave me hanging now.

Antony: Okay, Okay. I'll tell you. Cole and I had a bet going on who gets the girl first, which by the way, is you.

What? Cole would never do that. I trust him for God's sake. Antony actually thinks I believe him. He must be the one lying. Besides, why would he tell if there is a bet going on between him and Cole? I need to find out whether he is lying or not.

Me: When did you guys place this bet?

He did not reply instantly. Gotcha, he was lying.

Antony: On your second day at school.

Oh my God. How much is he going to lie? How do people lie so much so casually?

Me: Is that it? Is this why you're bothering me? Can I block you now?

Antony: You don't believe me? It's your loss anyway. But that is not the reason why I wanted to talk to you.

Is there anything left to lie about?

Me: Now what?

Antony: About that post, you uploaded on Instagram...

He is so unbearable. Why doesn't he speak to the point?

Me: Please speak to the point or else I'm gonna block you. For real this time.

Antony: Okay. About that post of yours. It caused too much drama in Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara? It was the place where I lived before moving here. How did he know?

Me: What drama?

Antony: James flew into a rage when he saw the post. He is truly bat shit crazy for you. And if you were wondering, he is still searching for you. But don't worry, I didn't tell him that you're in Riverside. I kind of saved your ass.

After reading this text, I was so shocked that I didn't notice that my phone slipped from my hand and fell down.

What the fuck is going on? How does he know that I lived in Santa Barbara before moving here in Riverside? How does he know about James? How is he sure that James is still searching for me? And what did he mean, when he said that he saved my ass? At this rate,  I'll go crazy in no time.

How did he know all this? Is he playing a prank on me?

"Xandra! Are you okay?!" I heard my mom ask, her voice laced with worry.

I, however, didn't respond to her. I was trembling, shaking even. I didn't have any control over my body. I was sweating uncontrollably.

He was coming for me. I didn't want that to happen.

I started choking. I couldn't breathe properly. I felt my heart speed up, and not in a good way.

I can't let James get me. This shouldn't happen again. I didn't want anyone getting hurt this time. Not even me.

"Stop the damn car, Jackson. Don't you see Xandra is having a panic attack again?!" I faintly heard my mom shout at my dad.

I started feeling dizzy. What the fuck was happening?

I tried my hardest to stay awake but I felt my eyelids get heavy and before I knew it, I lost my consciousness.

A/N,

CLIFFHANGER!!!!

Stay tuned to find out more.

This was a little  sneak-peak into Xandra's history.
