“Hey, old friend.“
Xander. That jerk. The group glared cold daggers toward him as his squad did the same. He has a new look now.
His squad was the same; some new, some old. He has light blue hair, green contact lenses, and a smug look on his face like always. He wore a dark crimson, close to maroon, shirt with the sleeves cut-off and white skinny jeans. His converse were black with checkered shoelaces. His skin looked pale and he gave off an innocent yet rebellious look. He now has a tongue piercing and his voice sounds more developed. I hate to admit it but.. he looks somewhat cool. He looks skinnier now with nearly some of his bones visible.
He looked at me up and down and I raise a brow in question. “Does something bother you?” Xander’s eyes flicked back up to mine and he chuckled lightly.
“You seem so ‘vibrant’ Ree-chan.”
“Why do you care?” He’s right though.
Today, I was wearing a yellowish-orange tank that had a pink cupcake on it, orange jeggings, and white slip-ons. I had a white star tattoo on the corner of my left eye and a white choker around my neck.
I crossed my arms and sighed. “Anyways, what are you doing here besides invading our space?” Xander looked beside us to see some kids arm-wrestling at our table.
“Were you planning on an arm-wrestling match at your table?” Xander asked, acting as if I hadn’t said anything. He started to walk over as I stepped in his way. “Answer my question first.”
“Let me through.”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Are you that stupid?”
“Are you that much of a priss?”
“Are you that much of an asshole?”
“Hey, no cursing in front of the children.”
“The only child here is you.”
“Wow, that hurt so much.”
“It better.”
“You’re adorable.”
“You’re disgusting.”
“Alright, this is getting nowhere.”
We looked toward the voice and saw Kusa and Oliver next to us. “So this is Xander, huh?” Kusa asked, pointing toward him.
“It’s rude to talk about someone when they’re right in front of you.” Xander huffed, crossing his arms.
Kusa took one look at him then back at me. “So this is Xander, huh?” Kusa repeated as I smile to him.
“Yes. This is Xander. Xander, meet my boyfriend Kusa-koi.” Xander’s eye started to twitch slightly as he stared me coldly.
“Yawn. I don’t have time for you right now. C’mon, guys. These are a waste of time.” I sigh as I take Kusa’s hand. He blushes a little and follows as we walk to the table. “Wait a minute.”
I continue walking, rolling my eyes. “I challenge you to a arm-wrestling competition!” We all stopped as I turn on my heel with a smirk. “Deal. But one question.”
“What is it?”
“What do I get when I win?”
“Hm.. I’ll answer any question you have. If I win, you have to wear a dress the whole day.” I chuckled in disbelief, same with Oliver and James. They both knew that I didn’t care about what I wear, dress or not. Xander should’ve realized as well.
“Is that the best you can do?” I ask with a smirk. He rolled his eyes with a sigh and place my hands on my hips. “Fine, Fine. One more question.”
“What?”
“Do you even lift, bro?“

The cafeteria was divided into two sections; on the left was us and the right was Xander’s group.
Since the teachers had some “trouble” in the copy room, it was a free fight area. The ones monitoring the door were West, Riley, and Randy. We often texted for reports of incoming teachers or security. The rest were patrolling around, trying to get as much information about the fight as possible.
The people that were in the cafeteria were choosing sides, most of them hovering our side. Although, some went over to Xander’s side. It was obvious there was a lot of tension in the room.
I sat with Kusa as I took a sip of my strawberry milk. Oliver headed toward me with a group of girls by his side. “Yo. Hazuki. The girls have some questions for you.” I flick my eyes to the group and back to Oliver. “They aren’t spies?”
“Nah. I already checked through them.”
“Hm.” I grunt in response. Kusa started to scoot more to me, his leg almost on my lap.
“Don’t worry, sweets. These girls are probably curious about the fight.” I whisper to him reassuringly and hold his hand in a loving way.
Kusa always was the easily jealous type. He did trust me that I would never cheat on him which made me happy. It makes me feel special whenever he holds my arm in a protective way. It’s cute.
Kusa looked at me and bit his lip but he reluctantly nodded. I look back to the girls as they took a few steps forward, nervous. “You girls had questions for me?” I ask, brushing my thumb against Kusa’s knuckles. “Um.. I do..”
One of the girls softly called out as they walked forward. She was small with light blonde hair and brown eyes. She seemed skinny but had a healthy figure. She had on a sundress with white flats. Adorable.
“Um.. my friends told me about you from your middle school.. Did you really date Xander Marx?” I nod and bite my lip a little. “Yes. Worst mistake ever.”
I saw her flinch as she stepped back into the group. I saw another girl step up — or more like bounce. She had an hourglass-shaped body with an average bust. She had on a tank top with neon pink shorts and white converse. Her hair was in a sandy, messy bun as it bounced along. Her lips were a pale pink and her makeup cast in with her outfit. She looked pretty but I wouldn’t date her. Probably be her friend though.
“Name’s Piku! I have a question for the Lord Hazuki!!” She squealed as she bounced, pointing towards me.
“I have an answer.” She giggled and flashed a smile. I start to smile back, a light chuckle escaping my lips. “So! Are the rumors true?! You’re gay?”
“Not really. I’m more of a pansexual type. Tori, however, is pansexual/demisexual.” I explain to her, pointing toward James who looked back in confusion. This caused the guys and girls look at James with a light blush. James always was a cute guy to both genders.
“Next!” I yell, catching the attention back as she hops away. “I’m next.” A girl grunted, pushing a few girls aside as she stood in the front. I studied her as she crossed her arms.
She had brunette hair with pink highlights mixed into her hair. She was flat-chested; wearing a black crop top and a navy blue skirt that went to her mid-thighs. She had on sandals as she leaned onto one leg in a sort-of attitude type of way. She reminded me of those classic girls who rebelled against her parents and dress up like prostitutes. Because apparently dressing up that way is “cool”. Girls like her annoy me.
“‘Kay, what’s your question?” I ask irritatingly. “What are your thoughts on girls?” I raise a brow in gesture to say ‘are you serious’?
“If I were actually interested in girls, I would make the effort to talking to them. Otherwise, I leave them be. What was the point of your question?” She flinched and looked down with a light blush on her cheeks.
Oh God.
“Next!” Kusa spoke up and I sigh in relief. I kiss his cheek and he giggles in a cute way.
“I only have time for one more.” Boy, this is going to take a long time.

Xander’s POV-
I sigh as I lean my head back on the table.
Some boys were asking me questions. I couldn’t tell if they were either gay or straight but they continued to ask about my relationship with Reece or I guess about Reece.
They keep saying “Hazuki” and it confuses me. Another boy walked up to me with a sigh. “Why did you break Hazuki’s heart?”
“Remind me who Hazuki is.”
“My God, man! Who doesn’t know who Hazuki is?! Hazuki is the God of this school! He’s the only one brave enough to tell Miss Osu that her body odor is horrible when everyone knows that she hates criticism of her body! HOW DARE YOU WALK HERE AND ACT LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO HAZUKI IS?!” The guy yelled, the others holding him back.
I raise a brow at his speech and sigh. “Lead me to ‘Lord Hazuki’.” I grunt, standing up from my seat.
“Gladly!” He huffs and starts to walk through the crowd to the left side of the cafeteria. We spot a group of girls and he points in that direction.
“Lord Hazuki!” He yells out and the girls turn back to him. They clear a way for him and my eyes widen but then narrow at the sight.
“Oh. Hey Maku. Why is the enemy here?” Reece says nonchalantly, looking mostly at him.
“He had the audacity of not knowing who you are, my Lord. He’s an enemy alright!”
“No way. Reece, your real name is Hazuki? Why didn’t you tell me that you originally lived in Japan?”
“Cus it wasn’t important. You must be seriously stupid to just now find out about this.” Reece said with a laugh in his voice. I clench my fists and bite my lip in anger.
“Go away. We don’t want you near our atmosphere.” His boyfriend, Kusa, spoke up with a cold stare in my direction. He rested his head on Reece’s shoulder with a smirk as Reece kissed his forehead lightly.
I had sworn to myself that I was in love with Mason but.. that scene pissed me off. I stomped away in anger as my thoughts were everywhere at once.
Mason and I are still dating. We have been ever since I broke up with Reece. As long as I told him that I loved him, he wouldn’t harm Reece.
I felt like a prisoner.
Stuck in Mason’s grasp for who knows how long. Having to kiss him whenever he wanted to. To make love whenever he wanted to. He took my virginity and made it obvious that I was his. He placed scars and marks on my neck and my body, making it obvious to the world.
It was humiliating.
It felt disgusting.
Usually when your virginity is taken, it should be from the one you love the most.. yet why do I feel so violated?..

“Welcome to the 2015 Annual Arm-Wrestling Match of the Year!”
James announced over the cafeteria as the crowd cheered. “Today, we have our reigning champion Hazuki Yukai!!”
The girls on our side cheered loudly and the guys rooted for me in the mass of people.
“In this edition of arm-wrestling, we have a new challenger who has declared war on our champion! Give it up for Xander Marx!” Some guys and girls cheered in the crowd along with his squad. Tough crowd.
“Now, for the first round! May the challengers step up at this time?!” James was standing on our table as we pushed through the crowd and ran up to James.
We stood next to him as he raised our arms, the crowd going wild. “Let the games begin!!”
