CHAPTER 17.

QUINN'S POV:

"It's no big deal Adrian. I've said this several times." I sighed and he still looked unsure. Adrian had asked me out on a study date and I had said yes much to his surprise.

"What about Mr Sterling? Won't he get mad at the fact that you'll be with me?" I shook my head.

I knew for a fact that Xavier will be pissed but it was really nothing to get mad over. It's a study date. Emphasis on study.

"Okay. So I'll pick you up?" I shook my head. That was a terrible idea. Coming to pick me up at Xavier's house was a death sentence for him and I cared about Adrian. He's my friend after all.

"I'll come meet you instead. Where are we meeting?" I asked and he paused to think.

"Maybe Tara's?" I haven't heard of that place.

"It's a coffee and pastries shop. It's cozy and probably the atmosphere needed to do alot of Chemistry." He was talking about the subject right?

"Sure. Text me the address. I'll meet you there after school." He nodded and walked off. I leaned against my locker as I just observed. As usual I was being stared at. At my old school I was barely popular. Even dating Aiden didn't even make me noticed. And he's the school's quarterback.

"Hi!" I looked at the brunette in front of me.

"You're Xavier Sterling's girlfriend right?" Girlfriend?

"Who's asking?" She flushed for a second.

"Sorry. I'm Yuri." She's Japanese? Thats awesome. Majority of the school's population are Americans.

"I saw you on the news. I heard he's dating you." I said. She heard well. Just incorrectly.

"I'm his wife." I said bluntly. She looked like she didn't believe me before she saw the wedding ring. I do try hard sometimes to conceal it with long sleeved outfits but today, I had on a short sleeved crop top and I already took off the jacket I wore earlier.

"Why'd you get married so early?" She asked curiously. I shrugged. "None of your business, Yuri." I said trying and failing to sound polite.

She made a face at me. "I was just asking." She defended and I smiled wryly.

"And I answered." From the corner of my eyes, I spotted Nico. He stood at a corner watching me closely. Another routine which I've learned to get used to. He was basically my shadow.

"I have to get going. Bye."

"Wait! Please!" Yuri called out and I turned to her. She was blushing for some reason.

"Can you get him to sign this? Please?" I took the piece of paper she stretched out to me. It was a printed picture of him and I gawked. This wasn't your normal dressed in a full suit picture all smiles, No it was the type where he's shirtless and giving you that panty dropping look. it was a sin to look this good.

I could probably draw this allot better if I wanted. Did I tell y'all that I drew? Well...

"Um Okay Sure." I said and turned to leave. Once I got to Nico I passed the paper to him.

"Get Xavi to sign this please then you return them to me." I instructed.

"Of course Mrs Sterling."
