Girl Next Door ✔️

Chapter 64

Thank you so much for the amazing cover m00000007 I absolutely love it!

I got into the gym area.

I felt proud of myself, as I worked so hard in the decorations.

I felt conscious of myself, as people turned to look at me.

Keeping my head down, I walked ahead.

I searched for my friends, but couldn't find them.

But, I did find someone, and my heart broke, just by looking at them.

Cole and Kemma were dancing.

Kemma wore a shiny pink dress, as she stared up at Cole.

I couldn't see Cole's face, since his back was visible to me.

Kemma suddenly turned to look at me.

She smiled sweetly at me.

That bitch.

All of a sudden, Cole turned to look at me.

I smiled like a mad girl because, Cole and I were matching again.

I guess we are a power couple.

Noticing Cole, he turned away from me.

Oh. He isn't talking to me.

I sighed, as I searched for my friends.

I noticed Tyler and Bethany dancing as well, as Bethany smiled up at Tyler.

Bethany reminds me of Jasmine. She is going to get her heart broken.

I spotted, Ryder and Chase making their way towards me.

I waved at them, as they reached near me.

"You look pretty." Chase said, hugging me.

"You too. I mean, handsome." I said, quickly covering up.

Chase chuckled before telling me that me was going to get drinks.

After he walked away, it was just me and Ryder.

"Hey handsome." I said, winking at him.

He laughed.

"A dance with me?" I said, before pulling him with me.

He chuckled before placing his hand on my waist.

We moved along, matching the slow rhythm of music.

It's been long since I've talked to him, properly.

"So, how are things going?" I asked him.

"All great." He said, beaming.

"How's things with Chase?" I asked him.

Ryder had a weird smile on his face.

"I love him. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me." He said, laughing out.

"Love does wonders. But, does Chase know that you used to...cut yourself?" I could'nt help but ask.

Ryder was a depressed soul back then.

"I've not been cutting myself anymore. I want to live now. Chase has given me the hope to live again. But, what is wrong with you, Xandra? I stopped cutting myself so you started cutting yourself?" Ryder Asked me.

How did he?

"I know. I've seen your hands. I know why you're wearing full sleeves at school. What's gotten into you?" He continued.
