X e n a

It's been around 3 days since Brie got realised for the hospital and today was the first day she was coming to school. Today is also the day of the gala, if I'm being honest I'm a bit nervous. I've gone for galas before but that was with my family. This time I actually have a date and it's none other than the Greek God himself Archer Howell, aka my soulmate.

I stopped outside of Bries driveway and honked for her to know I was here, her car was complete messed after the accident so she had no other way to go to school other than going with someone. Her parents would be getting her a new car soon but as of now it's either Cam, Felix or I dropping her and picking her.

Brie walked out the door, there was a scar on her forehead from the impact of the car accident but it looked like it was healing. Luckily she didn't break any bones, she only had a few few cuts and scratches on her arms and a few on her face.

"Hey" Brie smiles and gets into the passenger side of the car.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" I ask her as I back out of the driveway.

"I miss my bed, and I'm tired, and I just want to sleep. But other than that I'm perfectly fine" Brie says.

She then reaches for the aux cord and puts on some music. I turn to her with raised eyebrows.

"You're really going to play music at 7:30 in the morning?" I laugh and shake my head focusing on the road ahead of me.

"This is the only thing that won't make me fall asleep" Brie shrugs.

A few minutes later we reached school and I got out, Brie doing the same. We both walked into the building and saw Felix, Archer, Owen and Cam talking. We both walk up to them.

I stand beside Archer after I greeted everyone and he put his arm around my shoulder. Brie standing next to Felix.

"I'll pick you up for the gala at 7. Is that cool with you?" Archer turns and asks me quietly.

I nods my head and he turns back to the group, we were all talking about random things. Soon the bell rang and we all headed to our classes.

Archer, Owen and I had history right now.

My favourite subject.

I hate the subject. It's the worst. I don't need to learn about the past. What happened, happened. There is no point in learning about it.

We all got into class and as usually I sat at the complete back of the room in a corner. That way the teacher can't see me sleep.

And just like I expected I was fast asleep during that class.

———

"Xena. Xena. Xena. Xena" someone says while they tap my shoulder.

"Xenaaa" Someone says a bit louder near my ear while they vigorously shake me.

"Let me be" I mumble into my hand, snuggling closer to it.

I then felt cold fingers forcefully open my eyes and green eyes stared back at me.

"Get up" Archer says while he shakes my shoulder.

"You're going to be late for class" Archer says.

I then felt a Archer give me a wet willy.

"Yuck" I shoot out of my seat and smacked Archer on the chest.

"I'm heading to my next class, I don't want to be late" Archer smiles innocently and walks out the class.

I look around and no one was there, not even the teacher. Doesn't she have another class to teach?

Knowing her she's probably chilling in the staff room.

I sigh and walk out the room and heading to my next class which was Maths. Yuck.

You see I may say that I hate each class that I go to, and that I may not pay attention but I always know how to finish my work and study. So I never really fail any classes.

Time flew by and before I knew it, it was lunch time. I walked to the cafeteria, I was scrolling through my phone while I opened the cafeteria doors when I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm so sorry—" I say but I was cut of by an annoyingly high pitched voice.

We all know who that voice belongs to.

None other than Vera.

"Watch where you're going, whore" Vera rolls her eyes.

"Excuse me? No need to be rude. I apologised" I narrow my eyes at her.

"Well you never really apologised for stealing Archer away from me" Vera grits out.

Stealing Archer away from her? She should be the one apologising for faking to be my soulmates soulmate.

I look down a bit and boy was I shocked, the rumours were definitely not wrong. Right in front of me was Vera with a small bump on her stomach. So she did get pregnant with the pedo weed guy.

Before I could even comprehend what happens I felt a cold and sticky substance being poured on my shirt. Did this bitch really just throw her slushy on me?

I move back and lean forward a bit so the slushy doesn't pour down to my jeans.

What the fuck is her problem?

"What's your fucking problem?" I yell, I look up at Vera only to notice the whole cafeteria was watching. Oh God.

"What the hell? What are you doing?!" Archer voice booms as he walks up to us, along with Cam, Brie, Felix and Owen.

"Oh my god! I didn't mean to do that" Vera fakes surprise, but I saw the mischievous glint in her eyes and the small smirk that was on her face. 

"Yo, you good?" Owen comes and ask me.

"Listen here, You stupid aloe bitch. You can't just pour a whole fucking slushy on her and act like you didn't mean to do it. Why the fuck are you so pressed over the fact that Xena found her soulmate?" Brie walks up to Vera.

"They aren't soulmates. He's my soulmate—" Vera starts of.

"Shut the fuck up. We all know your soulmate is that stoner guy. Just because you're not happy with who your soulmate is, doesn't mean that you can go around trying to ruin it for others" Cam butts in.

"That guy isn't my Soulmate, It's Archer! He even got me pregnant!" Vera screeches.

This bitch...

"Excuse me, what? That baby isn't mine, I have never in my life slept with you. Don't pull that shit. You got knocked up by that stoner guy" Archer grits out. His jaw clenching and unclenching.

Not going to lie, he looks a bit scary.

"No. It's yours. You slept with me during the party" Vera shakes her head again and again. She walks up to Archer and rests her hand on his bicep.

I quickly swat her hand away from Archer and step in front of him.

I really feel bad for whoever her kid is going to be. Imagine having to grow up with her.

"Listen here Vera. You don't know what happened at the party, Archer was by my side the entire time. In fact why don't you go and ask your stupid stoner boyfriend what happened." I say calmly

"Stay. Away. From. My friends. Understood?" I continue, poking her near her collarbone with each word I said.

"Whatever, move out of my way" Vera rolls her eyes before looking above my head at Archer, gulping and walking away.

I turn to Archer and he had a glare that could kill, his gaze following Vera almost like he was trying to shoot lasers out of his eyes.

I laugh a bit and cover his eyes to stop him from glaring.

"Calm down" I say, then I remove my hands from his eyes.

"Do you have spare clothes?" Archer asks, looking at my shirt that's drenched with red slushy.

"Oh god, poor shirt. That was suck a cute top. Now it's ruined because of that bitch" Brie says turning to the doors that Vera exited from.

"You're so caring, I love how you care for my shirt that much. It means a lot to me" sarcasm dripping from my mouth.

"I'm just joking, but seriously are you okay?" Brie smiles.

"Yeah, it's all good" I nod my head.

"All right, stop being nosy. Get back to whatever you guys were doing" Felix yells to he cafeteria since almost everyone's eyes were on us.

"I have an extra top in my locker, let's get you changed out of that" Cam says.

I nod and follow Cam and Brie out of the cafeteria. Owen, Archer and Felix has all gone back to the table to eat.

"I really hate that girls guts" Brie shakes her head.

"Right? I feel bad for the baby. They have to grow up with her as their mom" Cam says.

"Right? I was thinking the exact same thing before" I laugh a bit.

I'm thankful that the slushy only got to the top and not my jeans. Cause that would have been really uncomfortable.

Cam lends me her top from the locker and I change into I'm in the bathroom. We all walk back to the cafeteria pretending like it never happened.

It was currently 6 and dad and I had gotten home an hour ago. He came home early because he needed to be at the hall for the gala at 6:30.

I decided to go for a shower since I had to do my hair and makeup. We don't want to look like an uncooked potato, now do we?

I took a long hot shower and tried to remove all the stickiness of the slushy from my body.

After some time I got out of the shower and walked to my vanity and started with my makeup, I tried to keep it simple but appropriate for the event too.

Once I was done with my makeup my hair was already dry so I decided to give my black hair some loose curls. I looked at the time and it was 6:40. Dad had already left a few minutes back.

Since it was almost time I decided to put on my dress that Archer got me and some champagne coloured heels.

I walked around my room a bit so I could get used to wearing heels again. I haven't worn them in a long time.

Once I was confident enough I looked at my self in the mirror and I was actually really proud with how I got myself ready.

Last time I went for a gala was around 10 years back. I was only 8. I remember my mom helping me get ready.

Just then the door bell rang and I carefully walked down the stairs making sure not to trip on my dress and I opens the door. In front of me stood a very very very hot Archer in a tuxedo. He already looks hot in casual attire but he really just hits different when he wears a tuxedo. His hair was still the messy curls they normally are.

"You look stunning" Archer smiles and puts his hand out for me to grab.

"Shall we?" Archer jokingly say with a small smile.

I laugh and grab onto him and and we both walk out of my house, I shut the door behind me and we walk to his car. He opens the door for me and I smile and get inside. And I leaned forward and opened the door for him from the inside.

"Thanks"'Archer laughs before getting inside and starting the car.

We drove to the hall while singing very horribly to the songs playing from the speakers.

After around 20 minutes we reached our destination, we both got out of the car and enter the hall, hand in hand.

There were many people here. People were chatting in small groups all of them having some sort of wine or champagne in their hands.

Soon we saw Mr. Howell walking up to us with a smile on his face.

"Finally, you guys are here" he says.

"Mr. Howell, nice to meet you. Congratulations on 20 years of running this company" I smile at him.

"Thank you sweethearts, and how many times do I have to tell you. Call me Matthew" he laughs.

"Sorry" I grin.

"Well I'll leave you guys to it, have fun" He smiles and then walks away.

"What are we even supposed to do here?" I turn to look at Archer but he was already looking at me.

"What? What are you looking at?" I squint my eyes at him.

"Nothing. Did I tell you that you look absolutely gorgeous?" Archer asks taking a strand of hair behind me ear.

"Well, you said stunning, you didn't say gorgeous, but thanks. You look hot too. Now, where's the food?" I say while I walk around trying to find where the food was.

I heard Archer burst out laughing before following right behind me.

Once I found a table with the starters I saw some bruschetta's and I decided on having some of those to accompany since I was bored out of my mind.

"You're really something else" Archer shakes his head before stealing a bruschetta from my plate and popping it in his mouth.

"Hey, get your own!" I way pulling the plate away from him.

There were a few people who came up to Archer and started talking to him, after all he will be the next CEO of the largest magazine company soon.

After an hour or so we decided to sit at the tables. Archer never leaving my side once.

I did although notice that there were many ladies eye fucking my manz. But it was okay, even I couldn't take my eyes off him. God took his time on creating him.

After around an hour, everyone started taking their seats on tables while Matthew walked up on the stage and said a speech, thanking everyone for coming, he then told everyone one to continue with what they were doing.

This thing is going to last forever.

"Babe, are we allowed to leave?" I whisper to him.

Archer looks and me with a glint in his eyes that I couldn't really make out, his eyes darker than his usual washed out green eyes.

"Why do you want to leave?" He asks suspiciously.

"Well, I'm tired and my feet are killing me" I show him my hells that I was wearing.

"Oh" he turns away.

"So...are we allowed to leave? We can head to your house" I say.

"Sure, if you're tired I'm sure they wouldn't mind" Archer shrugs.

"Okay great, I'm letting my dad know that I'm going" I say before I painfully walk up to my dad and tell him I was leaving because I was getting tired.

These heels are going to be the death of me.

I limp up to Archer and he laughs a bit.

"Just take them off, they wouldn't notice you don't have it on, your feet are covered by the dress anyways" Archer says.

I take my heels of and I instantly let out a breath of relief. I grab the heels and hold them in my hand while I walk to the car. My feet may be dirty but I don't give a flying fuck right now. My feet hurt like hell.

"So do I just drop you off at yours?" Archer asks as we drive.

"We can just go to yours since it's closer" I shrug.

Archer nods his head and heads to his house. After around 10 minutes we reach his place and I got out of the car. He opens the door and we both got in. We walk up to his room and he tells me to freshen up in the bathroom.

I washed my face and luckily since not that much makeup was on, it came of pretty easily with some face wash and water.

I got out of the bathroom and Archer was already sitting on the bed scrolling through his phone.

I sat on the bed as well and we both were in peaceful silence on our phone.

I turn to look at Archer but he was already looking at me with a small smile.

"What?" I laugh.

"Nothing. Nothing" he shakes his head.

I lean closer to him and gave him a peck on the lips, he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear and kisses me again. The kiss was in no way innocent, it was like a tease but hot, fiery, passionate and demanding. I honestly could no longer think straight.

One thing led to another we ended up making out.

Then one thing led to another we ended up doing things way more than just making out...
