NovelOnlineGrace was a girl of her word. Students in her grade finished classes before Xander's grade did. She went out to the school entrance to wait for him the instant the bell rang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrace soon saw Victor, Caleb, and Xander cycling out. Victor waved hello to Grace first. "You're finally sensible enough to wait for your brothers before going home." Caleb said, "But the three of us have agreed to play games at the intecafe before going back. Why don't you have the driver take you hfirst?" Grace's gaze landed on Xander, who stood behind them. "Who said | was waiting for you guys? Let's go, Xander!" Victor and Caleb shared a look of disbelief. "Wait. You were waiting for Xander, Gracie?" Grace hummed in assent. "lI need to properly thank Xander for helpingout this morning. You two can leave first if there's nothing else." Victor turned to Xander and said warningly, "You promised to hang out with us at the intecafe, Xander." "Yeah. We haven't finished our gyet!" Caleb added.
The brothers prioritized gaming above all else, so they naturally felt that Xander should feel the same.
Victor instantly refused Grace on behalf of Xander. "Xander won't be able to go with you today, Grace. Why don't you guys set another date?" "It's alright, Gracie. Let's go," Xander said, much to Victor and Caleb's shock.
"What about our game, man?" Xander replied seriously, "We're already 15 years old. It's best to rein in the gaming and start preparing for exams." Victor shared a look with Caleb.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWho was the one who had suggested they go play games in the first place? What was with the sudden change? Grace was overjoyed. "You're the best, Xander! Let's go, then. I'll buy you ice cream." As Caleb watched Grace and Xander leave, he said, "Don't you feel like Xander's place in Grace's heart has gotten more important compared to the both of us, Victor?" Victor narrowed his eyes and spat out, "Xander and his hoes before bros attitude!" "What do you mean 'hoes'?" Caleb didn't understand. Grace was the only woman in their family and was naturally doted on by everyone. What did it have to do with hoes? "It should be sisters before misters, Victor!" Victor gazed at his brother like he was looking at a fool. "It looks like only you and Gracie are blind to Xander's intentions. Forget it.
Let's go home." Caleb was confused. "What are you talking about, Victor? What intentions? Tell me!" He ran after his brother, pressing the topic on and on. But Victor never answered, leaving Caleb with all sorts of thoughts and questions.
Meanwhile, Grace had taken Xander to a Haagen-Dazs ice cream shop. "You can order whatever you want, Xander. It's my treat," Grace said courteously.
Xander scanned the available options. Before he could answer, Grace started giving suggestions.
"This shop has the best ice cream out of all of them, Xander. It's creamy and melts in your mouth. This is the only place I've had ice cream that | haven't grown tired of," Grace said.
"Then, I'll give it a try."
