Chapter 2

Xiao Xing’s POV

“Kai Kai! I missed you so much!!” She squeals, giving Xiao Kai a big hug.

I snicker and sit next to Mei Lin.

“Could you move? Xiao Xing’s sitting there.” Xiao Kai asks, scrunching up his nose.

Aww, he’s so cute.

“Ready for our date?” She giggles, ignoring Xiao Kai’s question.

“Only if you’re ready to get stood up.” I chuckle as Xiao Kai starts to laugh.

“I wasn’t even talking to you. Stop being jealous of Kai Kai and I’s relationship.” She flares at me.

“What relationship?” Sorry, but I don’t want Xiao Kai to hate me like he hates you.” I roll my eyes.

She scowls and gets up. I get up and take my seat.

After awhile, Qin Qin comes in and sits next to Qian Xi.

“Sorry I’m late. I was finishing up some class work.” She apologizes.

After Lunch

After lunch, Xiao Kai and I head to art class.

“Hi, Wang Junkai. Hi, Xiao Xing.” Ms. Luo greeted us with a smile as we walked into the classroom.

We give her a small wave and sit down in our seats.

“Kai Kai!” Brittney squeals as she takes a seat at our table.

“Kai Kai!” MacKenzie takes the last seat at our table.

“Excuse you, you’re gonna have to move because I’m sitting with my Kai Kai.” Jayden arrives.

No surprise. Brittney, MacKenzie, and Jayden are almost always together. Not to mention, they’re also the prettiest girls in the school.

I shrug, get up, and go sit with Qin Qin. Besides Mei Lin, Qin Qin’s my other best friend. We just don’t talk as much because we only share two classes: art and gym.

“Ugh. Sorry about them, I know how much you like Xiao Kai.” She rolls her eyes.

“Eh. He’ll never like me anyways. All of them are way prettier than me.” I shrug.

“Don’t say that! You’ll get him, I know you will.” Qin Qin reassures me.

I shrug again and begin my sketch.

The bell rings shortly and Xiao Kai quickly gets up, grabs my arm, and rushes out the door.

“Jeez! Xiao Kai! Slow down!” I said, stumbling over my own feet.

“Hey! Kai Kai! Come back! Don’t you want to walk me to class?” Brittney calls.

Xiao Kai ignores her and runs even faster.

“Ow!” I cry out as I hit the floor.

Xiao Kai stares wide-eyed at me.

I get up and brush myself off.

“Jeez! What’s wrong with you?!”

“S-Sorry, Xiao Xing! I-”

“Hmph! Save it.” I mutter angrily, and head back to the art room.

“Where are you going? We have gym!”

“Thanks to YOU, I left my binder in the art room.” I shoot him a glare.

“I’ll come with you...” Xiao Kai says as he makes his way over.

“STOP!”

Xiao Kai stops in his tracks.

“Don’t come with me. Just go to class. Please.”

He hesitates.

“Alright. Hurry up, don’t be late.” He sighs, looking at the ground.

I walk back to the art room.

I peer inside.

Nobody’s in there.

I tilt my head in confusion and open the door.

I go to my seat to look for my binder. It’s not there.

“Looking for this?” A sudden voice makes me freeze in horror.

I slowly turn my head.

What do you know?

Brittney, MacKenzie, and Jayden.
