Monday's are the worst it comes so fast only to end so slowly.

I hated waking up early only to be met with students I could care less for and teachers who tortured me with their energized attitudes.

Getting up from bed I slowly walk into my bathroom and jump inside the warm shower. Letting the water cascade down my body warming me up instantly I moan out loud from delight.

The only thing about school that I can tolerate is Sarah and Matt , being the only two people in my life that keeps me sane. I loved them both and I'm so lucky to have found such a good best friend and the most perfect boyfriend ever.

After my shower I slip out wearing a towel around my now soaked body letting the cool air attack at my skin. Walking into my room I head towards my closet deciding on something daring than what i usually would wear to school.

Today felt different somehow I couldn't explain it but it felt as if something exciting was going to happen. I just hope I'm ready for whatever it is.

I put on my white converses and grab my bag heading out the door. I didn't bother saying goodbye to my parents knowing that they were already at work being doctors I barely see them and when I do they are exhausted so I fend for myself you could say I live alone it feels like it anyway.

My phone begins to ring and I answer knowing who it is already.

"Hello"

"I'm rounding your corner now"

"Okay I'm already outside waiting"

"Okay and I picked up Matt on the way since he says his car broke down" she tells me, most people would question why Sarah would pick up Matt when he's my boyfriend but they stay across the street from each other and I trust the both of them with my life to know that they only see each other as friends.

We say our goodbyes and soon she pulls up in front of my house waiting on the curb for me to get inside. I hop inside of the back seat where my lovely boyfriend was already waiting for me.

"Hey baby"

"Hey"

"I missed you so much" he embraces me into a bone crushing hug while making me straddle his lap.

"You two no sex in my back seat"

"Oh come Sarah just a quickie I promise we won't make to much noise" Matt teases , Sarah Let's our a low growl warning Matt to stop while he's ahead.

I slap his shoulder and sit on the seat next to him respecting Sarah's rules.

"Why does she always have to stop our fun" Matt whines placing his face in the crock of my neck. I giggle slightly at the tingling sensation his breath does to my skin.

"Don't be a dick Matt" Sarah says, glaring at him through her rear view mirror. I laugh at them Hoth bickering back and forth until we reach the schools parking lot.

Sarah finds a spot and we all get out. I stretch my hands up trying to loosen my bones for today.

"Baby what's with the outfit"

"I don't know I just decided on wearing it, why?"

"You look hot as fuck in this you should wear this often only when I'm around of course" I smile and kiss his lips softly while he throws his arm around my neck deepening the kiss.

"Get a room you two"

"We could've used your car but you were flipping shit so-"

"Just because I don't want to watch my best friend have sex with you and especially not in my beautiful car doesn't mean anything"

"Your just mad because you don't have anyone to love you like I love my baby that's all"

"You little-"

"Both of you stop, Matt leave you've upset Sarah now you've upset me"

"Baby I just-"

"No Matt I've told you numerous times no one talks to my best friend like that"

"I'm sorry baby I am"

"Apologize to Sarah not me if she forgives you than I can"

He looks in my eyes for a hint of lie but doesn't find one. He sighs and makes his way around the car to where Sarah stood proudly waiting for her apology.

"Sarah I'm sorry that I was such a dick to you earlier it isn't my business to pry into your love life and I hope you can forgive me."

She thinks about it for a second but being the person she is she forgave him. He smiles and hugs her tightly before rushing and swooping me into his arms.

I laugh out loud while he rushes into the school with me on his shoulder. He runs all the way until we have reached my locker where he finally sets me down on my two feet.

I rummage throw my locker putting books inside and taking book out while Matt watches my every move in awe.

"Why are you always staring at me like that"

"Because your my girlfriend and I love you" he replies wrapping his arm around my waist. I throw my arms around his neck while kissing his lips.

He could be so cute sometimes I just can't resist not being able to kiss him. I love how he stares at me as if I'm the only girl in the room. Or how he lavishes me with gifts and his love it's really amazing.

The thing I love most about Matt is that he's himself and doesn't change from being himself for people to like him he's just a free spirited person. People always tell us how cute of a couple we are and how we were soul mates. And I believe every word not a doubt in my mind that he's the one for me.

"Let's get to class before we're late" he pulls me into the direction of our biology class but I stay put.

"I have to go and do something really quick I'll probably be in class late"

"Well I'll come with you what is it that you needed to do"

"Mr. Stevens said something about going into the detention center to drop off the work for Evan."

"Oh well that sounds boring but I'll come just for you"

"No go to class I'll be alright"

"Are you sure"

"Yes now go" I kiss his lips once more before walking off leaving him grinning from ear to ear.

"I love that girl!" He shouts for all the students still lurking in the halls to hear. I smile and turn the corner making my first stop to get Evans assignments for today.

***

Seven classes later I'm finally done. I don't know how he's into so many electives he must be pretty smart.

Making my way down to the detention classroom I knock on the door before our P.E coach open it up to see who I am. He makes room for me to come in while I walk to where Evan was placing all his assignments by order onto his desk and letting him know all the things the teacher said.

"Thanks autumn"

"No problem" I sit in the empty seat next to him waiting there for a while so I can interrogate him about a situation that's been on my mind lately.

"Soo"

"Soo?"

"It occurred to me that every time me and Sarah are around you turn the other way but when I'm by myself you are nice besides when you completely snapped at Mr.Stevens but you get the picture"

"Um.. well.. I just... I don't even know" he sighs dropping his head into the desk in frustration.

"Hey what's wrong"

"Promise you won't say a word"

"I promise I won't"

"Well I maybe.. sorta... kinda have feeling for Sarah but don't tell her okay I have to and I promise I will once I'm able to convince myself it's a good idea"

Hearing Evan say those words has me bouncing up and down in my seat from excitement. I can't believe he likes Sarah , my Sarah. I know she likes him also but she's scared to show her feeling hoping that he'll make the first move but he's here debating about something that could lead to great things I had to tell him she felt the same.

What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't.

"Well I know something you don't"

"What's that?"

"Sarah has feelings for you too but she wanted you to make the first move and plus you avoid her every chance you get"

"She likes me"

"Yes she-"

"She likes me" he whispered to himself smiling at the thought of my beloved best friend.

"Now tomorrow I better hear from her telling me that it finally happened or I'm coming after you" he smiles at my little threat and hugs me.

"Thank you so much autumn" I stand to leave knowing that my work here is done.

Once I'm finally out of the door I crash into someone's hard chest.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you" I look up to see no other than Xzavier staring down at me not moving a single muscle.

We stare at each other oddly until he breaks from his trance which I'm thankful for I was beginning to think that he was a statue.

"What's your name" I hesitated telling him my real name but decided against it he's Xzavier after all. He runs this school and almost everyone in it. Almost.

He could find out who I was and when I stepped foot into this school with just a snap of his finger. I was never scared of him but I keep away just for my safety knowing how violent he could be to others that disobey his orders or so they say 'rules'

I never understood it but I never questioned it either.

"Autumn"

"That's a very pretty name where are you off to autumn"

"Biology"

"Can I walk with you"

"It's a free country" he laughs and walk along side of me in silence to my biology class.

I finally make it and head inside but not before he grabs my wrist.

"Hey how about you sit with me at lunch I'd like to get to know you more"

"Oh I'm sorry I can't but thanks for the offer" I quickly turn on my heals and head in class before he could protest any further.

It was awkward really most people seen him as being scary and ruthless but he wasn't any of those things to me. He was actually normal than I thought he would have been. Maybe it's true what they say. Never judge a book by its cover.

Xzavier wasn't at all mean or rude to me even when I crashed into him he didn't yell or threaten my life. He was calm and understanding about it. I just hope I never see him again after this , it's probably a good day for him today and tomorrow I'll feel his wrath.

I take my seat next to Matt and catch up onto today's work while I try and clearing my head of Xzavier.
