Xavier stared at her. His eyes looked unhappy; ''why? Did I do anything wrong?''
Ari shook her head, as tears gathered in her eyes. Turning towards the door, she dashed out.
Xavier stood at the spot for a long while, trying to process what had just happened.
Ari locked her door, and she ran to her room, slumping on her bed.
What has she done?
She pulled at her hair as she groaned. She shouldn't have kissed him. Now he knew she liked him. She had let her guard down.
Ari's phone rang beside her on the bed and she looked at it; it was Xavier calling her.
Closing her eyes, she took in a breath and turned the phone over. What would she do now?
Why? Why did she kiss him!!
Everything people said about him started coming back to her. She knew. She knew she was going to get hurt, she knew, and yet she had kissed him.
