"I will go in a little bit," Alexander says and he smiles at me.

"Okay. I'll see you later," I give him one last smile before running down the hill.

I look at the flower Alexander gave me and look back down at my dad as I put the flower in my back pocket.

I'll keep it forever.

SIX YEARS AGO

"God, he is hot. I wish he could take my virginity," Becca says as she rolls her eyes to the back of her head.

I almost gag just from hearing her talk about him.

"No, same. I once heard that he beat up one of the senior Calcio players. No one goes after those dudes," Regina agrees and I can almost hear her moan from just sitting next to her.

"You guys are both disgusting for wanting someone like him. Trust me he isn't all that."

Regina looks away from him and looks at me with a raised eyebrow, "Aren't you guys like cousins?"

I cringe when she says that. "No, we're not fucking cousins you dumbass. His father is my father's best friend."

"Lucky. So, you get to fuck him."

I can't help but laugh.

Yea.

Like Alexander and I will ever be fucking one another.

"Why would you even suggest that? That's stupid, I have no clue where you get these ideas, Regina. I will never be fucking Alexander. I have better things to do than obsess over him like you and the rest of these stupid little girls at this school do. I'm better than that."

"You guys would kind of look good together not going to lie," Becca says and I just roll my eyes at her for the fifth time today.

I look away from the food on my plate and look at Alexander who is sitting at the opposite table across the room. I feel my body fill with heat. My hands clench by my side and I can't help but feel my heart rate speed up.

Fuck you, Xander Russo.

Alexander smirks at me and then winks.

I bite the inside of my cheek and try to ignore the churn in my stomach.

God, I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Alexander Russo.

So many ways to describe the type of person he is.

He is worse than the nightmares under my bed. He isn't a good guy like the other guys at this school.

No.

Alexander Russo is a jackass and if my dad wasn't named the number one devil in the world, Alexander would take that spot.

He is only sixteen, but he has done so much damage that it would probably scare all of these little girls away.

I've seen everything he has done.
