My head was killing me.
My eyes were sore.
I felt exhausted.
All because of the stupid exams that would begin next week. After that graduation. And then college.
I yawned. It was only one p.m. in the afternoon and I was already feeling sleepy. I shook my head and tried to be more alert and active.
I'll pay Xavier a visit, I mused. I hadn't met him since our date two nights ago.
So I got up, dressed nicely, put on a hint of perfume and ate a mint-flavoured candy to freshen my breath. All ready to go!
I made my way towards Xavier's house a few blocks away. The snow had long melted away, but the breeze was still chilly. I wrapped my arms around my sweater as Xavier's house came into view.
I knocked at the door.
"Ethan darling! Come inside!", Mrs. Fernandes greeted as she opened the door. "Hi Mrs. Fernandes! Is Xavier in?", I asked after I kissed her cheek. She was like my second mother.
"He's in his room studying", she replied. I ran upstairs and rushed inside Xavier's room, pouncing on him. "HIIIIIIE!", I giggled loudly. Xavier was startled for a moment, and then he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Hi", he murmured as he pecked my nose with his lips. "How come you're here?"
"I was bored", I said, "And I was missing you."
"Hmmm", he replied, "That makes me feel good."
Just then, the doorbell rang downstairs and a few moments later, there was a knock on Xavier's door.
"Come in", Xavier called out.
The door creaked open slowly and I gasped in shock on seeing Xavier's ex girlfriend -
"Amy?!"
