Chapter 49

They were making out.

James' hands were all over Kylie's body, one under her non existent skirt and one behind her back.

Get a room.

I watched this scene for another five minutes, until I noticed Mr. Harts making his way towards them.

He gave them both detentions, before telling the rest of us to do what we were doing.

As soon as they both pulled away, James' eyes met mine.

He stared at me, and I stared back.

I noticed Cole tightening his grip on my hand, as though reassuring me.

James' eyes fell on Cole and I's enterwined hands.

He looked at me, in the eyes again.

His eyes were cold, calculating, and...and...

Shallow.

They lost the sparks they once had, all because of me.

They looked empty.

He looked away from me, as he walked away.

"Hey kitten. I wanted to talk to you." Cole said, causing me to look at him.

"Yeah?"

"Uhm, I don't think it's James who killed your best friend. I've known him for long, Xandra. He isn't the type who does shit and tries to cover it up by making it seem like a suicide."

"But, I have seen the way you have never seen him, Cole. I've seen his vulnerable state, his crazed mind, as though he has no control over himself."

"What if this all is a hoax?"

"What do you mean?"

"What if it's not James?"

"What if it's him?"

"You haven't seen him rape her, now have you?"

"Why are you supporting him, Cole? Remember he almost killed your brother yesterday."

"I'm not supporting him. I clearly remember what happened. I just feel like, we should take things in our hands."

"What do you mean? Why should we do that? We know it's James."

"Not exactly. What's the proof Xandra?"

Wait, Cole didn't say that.

Both Cole and I turned around to face Antony, who said that.

"What's the proof that he didn't?" I asked him.

"Don't you get it? He's a psychopath, I agree. But that doesn't mean he forgot what was between you both." Antony said, and I rolled my eyes.

"There was nothing, I mean nothing between us. I used him, because he used Jasmine." I said, bitterly.

"Really? Why do you think he hasn't reacted seeing you with Cole then?" He said, as he gestured towards my hand enterwined with Cole's.

I removed my hand, from Cole's.

"That's because, he's moving on." I said, as I told him what I just saw.

"Yeah right." He said, as I rolled my eyes.

Cole however, didn't seem to agree with me on this topic.

I walked away, to my next class, knowing that I wouldn't get anything if I argued with them.
