SELENA (9)

Xander wasn't even expecting a proper response when he asked Selena that, but unexpectedly, the girl answered him with an answer that made him feel very strange.

"Because that's the only time I can hug you without getting rejected," Selena replied with a smile.

Not a fake smile filled with deception, but a real smile that could make you feel so much better when you saw it. A smile that reached the girl's eyes, and made those blue orbs a lot brighter than usual.

Those blue eyes looked straight into his eyes and made Xander feel that she was looking straight into his soul. While the girl gave him warmth and not a scary flame that he had known so far.

"Taxi!" Selena said, interrupting what Xander was thinking at the moment.

Xander turned around and saw a taxi approaching before stopping right beside him. He then opened the car door for Selena and let the girl in, before he got in too.
