Chapter 1

Xiao Xing’s POV

“Xiao Xing! Are you coming?! I don’t wanna be late to school!!” My “older” brother, Wang Yuan, whines.

I can’t believe he’s older than me, I’m way more mature and he still acts like a 3 year old.

“I’m coming!” I say, stomping down the steps.

We grab some apples and start walking to school.

“Boo!” A voice makes me jump.

“Xiao Kai! Don’t do that!” I scowl, putting my hand to my chest.

“Scaredy-cat!” Xiao Kai says, laughing.

I roll my eyes and take a bite of my apple. When we arrive, Wang Yuan and I throw the apple cores away.

“Xiao Xing! Xiao Xing!” My best friend, Mei Lin, almost chokes me as she hugs me.

“Calm down Mei Lin, you’re gonna choke her.” Xiao Kai laughs.

“Good to know that me choking is funny to you.” I give him a glare as I cough.

He laughs again.

Mei Lin gives Wang Yuan a hug.

“Why couldn’t I get a hug like that? Instead, I get to experience a near death situation.” I roll my eyes.

“Because she likes me better.” Wang Yuan says, playfully sticking his tongue out at me.

“You’re such a brat!” I growl.

“You are too!” He replies.

“Where’s Qian Xi?” Mei Lin asks, hugging Xiao Kai.

“Probably talking to Qin Qin.” Wang Yuan wiggles his eyebrows which makes Mei Lin giggle.

Xiao Kai and Wang Yuan leave to go find him.

“Just ask him out, he likes you too!” I tease.

“How are you okay with my dating your brother? Don’t you feel weird just thinking about it?” Mei Lin asks, frantically.

“Nope.” I say, popping the ‘p’.

“If I have to ask Wang Yuan out, then you should ask Xiao Kai out!” She teases.

“What?! No! That would be weird! Wang Yuan would never agree to me dating his best friend!” I say as my eyes widen.

“Wouldn’t he be protective of you?” She asks.

“Wang Yuan?! Never! He could care less about me! He would probably warn Xiao Kai that I’m annoying!” I say, rolling my eyes.

She giggles and we head inside.

“We fouuuuund him!” Wang Yuan excitedly jumps over to us with Qian Xi and Xiao Kai following.

“And guess what? He’s officially dating Qin Qin!” Xiao Kai laughs.

Qian Xi blushes.

“Aww!” Mei Lin and I giggle.

“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go to class.” Qian Xi says, walking away.

We enter Mrs. Liang’s classroom.

“Good morning, boys! How are you today?” She says with a smile.

“Good.” Xiao Kai replies.

I hated Mrs. Liang. She favored the boys just because they were famous.

“Good morning, Mrs. Liang.” Mei Lin mutters as we sit down.

She says nothing in return.

I roll my eyes.

After Class

We all head to the cafeteria after class. As I was about to take my usual seat next to Xiao Kai and Wang Yuan, someone rushes in front of me and takes my seat.

Brittney.
