"Yasmin, are you okay?" I questioned, glancing over at her slowly

"Yasmin, are you okay?" I questioned, glancing over at her slowly. "I hate seeing you like this."

Yasmin looked over at me and paused. "I'm getting there, Khloe." She explained flipping her long dark hair over her shoulders. "I'm accepting the fact that Xander isn't the person that I thought he was."

I still felt horrible for Yasmin. Xander didn't truly love her in the way that she had thought he did.

I nodded my head. "I'm so sorry, Yasmin but none of this is your fault. Xander had his demons that he needed to take care of. I really do believe that he loved you." I paused. "Just not in a way that is romantic." My eyes then widened. "I know that doesn't make what he did any better, but all I'm saying is that I know he cares about you. I know he didn't want to hurt you, but the truth always comes out, and he should have known that."

"I know, Khloe." Yasmin smiled softly at me. "I'll be okay. Xander was my first love, and it sucks that he's gone. He wasn't perfect and no one is, so I hope he gets the help that he needs to succeed in life."

I nodded my head in agreement. "Xander told me that he hopes he'll see me again," I stated. "That probably means that he wants to come back."

"His parents said that they'll give me updates," Yasmin explained. "I hope once he's eighteen he can get away from them. They're completely controlling, and I know that they wouldn't accept him."

I smiled sadly. "I know, and that's the sad part."

Yasmin smiled at me, and just before she could open her mouth to say anything else, Noah and Kiera walked up beside us.

"Hey!" Kiera exclaimed as she grabbed onto my arm. "How are you, girls?"

"Hey Kiera," I laughed and then looked over at Noah. "Hi, Noah."

"Hey," He smiled at both Yasmin and I. "Is everyone good?" Noah placed a silly smile onto his lips, and that was the Noah I knew and always loved. "Is everyone feeling alright?"

"Yes!" I exclaimed. "Everything will be just fine." I smiled, specifically glancing over at Yasmin and she smiled back at me. "Okay guys, I'll see you later. I have to meet Hayden, he's giving me a ride home."

"Okay, Khlo." Kiera grinned. "Call me later!"

I knew exactly why Kiera was grinning so hard and it looked like her face was about to fall off. "Sure!" I laughed just before I walked away and down the hallway.

Hayden said that he wanted to meet me in front of the school because he wanted to take me somewhere special. So that's where I was currently waiting, at the front of the school.

I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and began to scroll through my social media until I heard my name being called.

I looked up quickly, but only to be surprised to see Aiden Pierce staring back at me with wide eyes.
