Trust In Love 5 Romeo And Ro—Julie

Xandra closed her eyes and opened them slowly, breathing deeply. She quirked a brow, "Best friend?"

Logan frowned, "You don't sound enthusiastic"

Indeed, the corner of Xandra's lips were turned down. She blew on her bangs and bit her bottom lip. That sure backfired quickly. "I'm just processing that the guy who just trespa.s.sed wants to be my brother's friend"

"I didn't trespa.s.s"

"You didn't knock"

"You just didn't hear me"

"The house is dead silent, Logan. Believe me, I would have" Xandra rolled her eyes, realizing how many times she fell into an argument with him. That's when it hit her. The real question for this disaster hasn't been answered yet, "What are you even doing here?"

Logan shrugged, not looking at her, "I needed to talk to your brother"

"About what?"

"About the English project"

The corner of Xandra's lips twitched, Not this again. All of this? Because of the project?! Get real! There was no need for him to come to the house for this!

"You could have just messaged him" Xandra made no effort to hide her irritation. It didn't matter that the door wasn't locked. With Logan's personality, he would have been knocking till morning, not that she would've answered it. She would have gotten out through the back door—except that would mean keeping the front gate unlocked with an empty house... nope, there was no way around it. It was all Logan's fault.

He looked at her like the answer to that was pretty obvious, "Yeah, but I didn't know his number"

Xandra squinted at him, "Then, how did you know where he lived?"

"My father's the princ.i.p.al. I have connections to find out"

"But not his phone number?"

Logan was stumped for a few seconds. Xandra felt smug and relished in it, "Right. That should have made things easier but people's phone numbers change and I wanted to be sure"

The fact that he practically said she was right delighted Xandra, she was so close to winning, "It couldn't wait until tomorrow? When you see him at school? And maybe get his number too while you're at it?"

Logan was, again, at a loss for words, "What's with the interrogation?"

"You're a trespa.s.ser"

"I had no bad intentions"

"You still are and I still thought you were a robber" Xandra pointed out, "I'm not sure I want my brother to be a.s.sociated with you"

There it was. The winning statement. In Xandra's mind, she patted her shoulder for coming up with it.

Logan's brows knitted together. Things weren't going the way he planned. He wanted to finish the discussion with Alex before the day ended so he thought of the most bulletproof solution—visiting him. Instead of that, he found himself in a new disagreement. He didn't want to sleep with these still running in his mind.

As much as he wished for the debate to stop, Logan was determined to be friends with Alex. If he needed his sister's approval, he will get it, "It wouldn't matter if you're not here"

"I'm his twin" Xandra flipped her fake hair at that, displaying the power of 'her' influence, "My opinions matter to him"

The crinkle on Logan's forehead deepened, "Why are you even so against this? I wanna help your brother. That's a good thing"

It was. Not much to argue about that. Xandra pressed her lips together. If she couldn't get out of it, she at least had to think of a compromise in her favor but what?

Xandra's eyes glittered, "Tell you what. I'll give you a chance on one condition"

Logan was incredulous, that didn't take long, "And what would that be?"

"Alex has to be Romeo in your English project" It was a brilliant idea. There was no way to completely cut ties with Logan while they were still in Woodlands. Even if she refused now—no doubt, it wouldn't stop him from befriending Alex.

This way she sealed Alex's role as the male lead. No one may find it strange for Alex to be Juliet but she wasn't taking any chances for people to question Alex's s.e.xuality.

"Pft, is that all?"

Xandra batted her lashes, "I heard you had a big fight about. I hardly call it a small favor"

She could tell it got on his nerves but, nonethless, Logan relented, "Ugh... fine. FINE. He'll be Romeo and I'll be Juliet. We good now?"

Hopefully that'll prove my sincerity, he thought.
