Chapter 9

   I didn't know what I could do because at that point, Devin still had his palms around my waist and my feet were dangling in the air. It almost seems like he had forgotten he was crying to me because I was light.

   "Excuse me!?" I wiggled my legs as I looked down to see his face.

   He still had an angry reaction on his face, there was something more but I couldn't tell because his hair was covering his face and he turned and walked away immediately he dropped me. He went back to his previous position and stood still, leaning on the wall with his legs and arms crossed.

   I turned to look at Xavier who had the most dreadful look on his white face, it even look like he would snap Devin's neck within the twinkle of an eye. He moves closer with his shoulders high like they could no longer lap beside him.

   "X-Xa Xavier?" I stuttered "I needed to keep the books up" I moved back.
