allergic to it.
"My pen." I squeaked out. I didn't have the energy to get it off my thigh from under my gown. I fell and Xavier rushed to my side cursing. He ripped the eppy pen off of my thigh. He then stabbed it into me and breathing became easy again. My vision returned and I could get up. He hugged me and made sure I was okay before he turned to Xanthus.
"Are you and idiot? Did you put basil pesto in this?" He shouted.
"Sorry dude I didn't know she was allergic."
"Sorry! Sorry?" He demanded and I could tell that he was furious. I stood and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Xavier, it's okay; he didn't know." I said gently and he shrugged my hand off. I was taken aback by that.
"It doesn't matter! He almost killed you and now I see him as a threat." I frowned with tears in my eyes. Although I was upset that he was blaming Xanthus still I was kind of hurt that he shrugged off my hand, he never did.
"What has gotten into you? Ever since we met him you've been acting rudely toward me. It hurts and I don't appreciate it." I asked and he sighed.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. I didn't mean to be rude to you or hurt your feelings." He said and I sighed.
"It's okay I guess."
"No it's not, I shouldn't have acted that way." He said hugging me and I smiled. I had the old Xavier back. Hopefully he would stay. I looked around and noticed that Xanthos had slipped out of the room.
"I just don't understand, what is it between the two of you?" I asked him. It was a mystery yet to be solved.
"Nothing, I just get a bad feeling from him is all." He said and I knit my eyebrows.
"Okay, if you say so."
"I do say so. I also say that you should relax, you've done enough research for today." He said taking my book.
"No no no. I have work to do." I objected.
"Like what? Extra credit?"
"Maybe." I said, never being able to lie to his perfect brown eyes. They were darker than chocolate, almost black, but then he was Asian. They were slanted like Asian eyes to, some people didn't like them but I thought they were cute.
"Then you're done. I'm taking this, and this chicken. I will make you stuff that won't kill you."
"That's nice of you."
"It's my job." He said and I was kind of hurt. I didn't know why. I knew that he was only here because he was assigned this job but I don't know. I guess I wanted him to want to do it. That didn't make any sense though. I shook my head and he gave me a look. "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, just how I could be getting some major bonus points right now." I lied and he smirked.
"Too bad, it's time to rest."
