Note: This is set after the Low Price of Fame. The title is after the song 'It's Beginning to get to me' by Snow Patrol. They maybe ooc but when I did this the show only had like four episodes. Anyway, enjoy the story. Oh, I don't own this show… or the song.

X stood before the swarm of fans. Inside he was worried over his brother, but he didn't seem like he felt anything other then the joy of winning on the outside. When Speed finally crossed the finish line, X ran to his brothers' side. They talked only for a few moments before X walked away. It looked like he was being pulled away by the two girls more than walking away. X, lost in his own world, almost didn't notice the young girl watching him.

As X slipped away from his ever loving fans and left the track, he thought over Belle. He felt odd and out of place being between the two young ladies. He honestly didn't want to be any where near them, but then again he didn't want to be with his red headed girlfriend. Belle had been something of an eye opener to him. Why couldn't he stop thinking about that one blonde fan of his away? He hadn't seen her in weeks and they had only spoken once. But still there was something about her. X lost himself in a world of thoughts.

"Hey X!" That voice sounded so…no, it couldn't be her. X thought. "That race was fun to watch, but you could've done better." It was her voice.

"Belle!" X turned around shocked. "What are you doing here?" The question seemed to spill out of his lips without thinking. X nearly ran to her side. It took all he had out to hold her close to him.

"Uh?" Belle parted her cutie pink mouth. She looked paler then shedid before and her hair was different. Her hair was no longer blond but black. She crossed her long arms over her black and blue short sleeved shirt. "You don't want me here do you?" She asked as if she knew the answer. Her long legs were covered up by dark blue jeans. Her hair fell into her eyes and as she brushed it back more hair fell forward.

"No." X said after a while. "I just thought you won't come. It was been awhile." She looked up quickly.

"I had things to do." She sounded a bit upset. "You should know how life is. Things come up." She dropped her arms to her side. "I have to go."

"What?" X looked confused. "You just got here!" She smiled with mischief and giggled at what he said.

"I have some things to do. I only had a few minutes. Sorry." She slowly moved backwards. "See you around campus." She sounded sexy as she said her goodbye to him.X watched as she moved away. The way she moved her hips seem lovely to him. It wasn't forced or some thing that she did by willing it. He could tell that it was natural for her. He heard her dark blue heels hit the ground softly. He smiled to himself when his brother came to his side.

"Who was that?"

"Someone I met once." X left his brother. He was tried of acting. He just wanted to go to his room and be by himself. He knew he wouldn't be missed. He rarely ever was. People didn't care about him not really.

The moon shined brightly within X's room. Unlike Speed and the other students, X had no roommates. So, his room seemed larger then the others and it was by only a few inches. There was a queen sized bed with gray sheets in the center of the room. It was pushed back against a side wall. It was close enough to the window to give light, but far enough away so that no one can watch him in his sleep. That was never happening again if he could have it. That fan girl was creepy.

X's desk was placed under the window. It was made of cherry wood and his black laptop sat in the middle of the desk. The rest of the table was covered with CD's and other personal things like that. His walls were painted navy blue and full of posters. Some of him and others of famous racers. One was even of his dad.

X was staring at a picture in his hand. It was a simple hand drawing of a young girl. Her face was missing. He threw the picture onto his desk. There were more drawings just like that one. Each one was faceless. None of the pictures came out right in the end. None of them could come close to how stunning she was. "Belle…" He wondered if he could finally get the face right now that he had seen her again. But so far, it didn't seem so... He hoped to see her soon and for longer than what they had had.

X sat down at his desk and turned on his computer. It was close to midnight and he still couldn't sleep. All his thoughts were on Belle. What did she mean when she said she would see him on campus? And why did she leave like that? While waiting for his computer to load, X stepped into his private bathroom. The bathroom was all his only because no one stayed in the bedroom contacting to it. "What's this?" On the bathroom mirror, there was a note written in blue ink. 'Hi, I'm your new roommate. I'm all set up in the room contacting to this one. See you soon.'

"What? When did this happen?" X was shocked. No one told him about this. He looked over at the two doors that led to the bathroom. One was led to his room but the other led to his new roommate. X was boiling with rage. How could his uncle do this to him? It wasn't fair. There was no way this was happening. A roommate would be a nightmare. It would be a way for crazy fans to bother him. First Belle came back into his life just to leave him in moments and now he was given a roommate without warning. He hated his life so much.

Note: This was hard. I had no idea were to start. Still not happy with this opening, but it's okay. Tell me what you think. Thanks for reading. BYE
