BLOODBOUND HEART

After another busy day at the bookstore,she headed back to her tent where she now calls home.To her surprise she slept well that night dreaming of her favorite novel.

She woke up the next morning feeling energized and in a good mood. She quickly looked for something to eat and headed of to class.

During lunch break, Helena finds a quiet spot in the school courtyard to read her favorite book. As she's immersed in the story, a shadow falls over her, and she looks up to see a strikingly handsome boy standing before her. His mesmerizing green eyes study her intently, and Helena feels an inexplicable connection to him.

"Well, well, well," he says, his voice smooth but laced with arrogance. "It seems like you're the infamous scholarship student everyone's talking about."

Helena feels her face flush with embarrassment and anger. She recognizes the boy as Xavier, one of the most popular students at school, known for his good looks and wealth.

"My name is Xavier," he continues, smirking. "I couldn't help but notice you. You don't exactly fit in here, do you?"

Helena stands up, her book clutched tightly in her hand. "I don't need to fit in," she retorts, her voice shaking with anger. "I'm here to learn and better myself."

Xavier laughs, his cruel words piercing Helena's heart. "We'll see about that." He walks away, leaving Helena feeling humiliated and alone.

As the days pass, Xavier continues to torment Helena, teasing her about her appearance and humble background. Despite his cruel behavior, Helena can't shake the feeling that there's more to Xaviour than meets the eye.

She notices his unusual habits, like his aversion to sunlight and his preference for solitude, making her wonder if there's a hidden darkness lurking beneath his arrogant facade.

Be one the lookout for what will happen next!!!
