Hidden Secrets

Chapter Nine

Me and Hannah walked home after being at the coffee shop, Jay did ask if we wanted a lift home (me and Hannah live on the same street) but we were going to take our time to talk about the arrangements of Saturday night.
"Hey, isn't it Wednesday tomorrow?" I asked Hannah.
"Well today's Tuesday." She replied sarcastically.
"So it's your sisters birthday tomorrow."
"Oh god I completely forgot, everything that's been going on has distracted me. I need to wrap the dress I got her. I'll do it when I get home." Hannah told me.
"Okay...I've just thought what if Ivy isn't doing this alone, like what if she has a helper." I said as I turned to Hannah.
"I don't think she will need a helper to blackmail."
"Yeah your right. I think I'm over thinking this whole situation." I sighed. We strolled home and reached our street. Some new people were moving into the house across the road from us.
"I wonder what there going to be like." I said as I watched the moving truck pull into the yard.
"I hope it's a hot boy." Hannah replied laughing.
"Haha seeya at school tomorrow." I smiled to Hannah as I walked up my steps to get to my front door.
"Bye." Hannah ended.
I went into my bedroom and collapsed on my bed, it was so good to rest. I laid there for half an hour thinking of possibilities of why Ivy would want to blackmail Liv and Elizabeth I mean what did they do that was so bad? Or has Ivy just got problems she likes to take out on innocent people?
That night I had a nightmare; I was on a boat with Jay and Hannah, then Ivy was there looking at me on the balcony of the boat, then there was a storm and I fell into the sea I could just see Ivy in the boat staring at me. It doesn't sound that scary but it woke me up at 2:47 am.
When my morning alarm went off I got ready and walked with Hannah to school.
"Tell your sister I said happy birthday." I greeted Hannah.
"I will as soon as I get home from school if I can remember."
When I arrived at school I realised I had boring lessons today. I had English which meant I was working on a project with Cameron. Cameron is one of the popular boys but he's not on the football team, he prefers media you'll always see him with his camera around his neck.
When I went into school I saw Liv.
"Can you still call me Elizabeth? It will just confuse everyone at school and they'll start asking questions." Liv rushed.
"Yeah. Only in school right?" I asked.
"Yeah only in school." Liv said rushing off."
"She seemed in a rush." I suspiciously said to Hannah.
"Yeah. She was probably late to her lesson of something." Hannah replied.
We walked into English two minutes late, and miss Maya's wasn't teaching because she was sick so we had a new male angry teacher.
"WHY ARE YOU TWO LATE? YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD ANSWER."
"Where only a minute late." I answered.
"NO YOUR TWO MINUTES LATE AND NOW WASTING ANOTHER MINUTE BECAUSE I'M HAVING TO SHOUT AT YOU."
"Well could you just not shout and get on with the lesson." Hannah said rolling her eyes.
"GET TO YOUR SEATS." He shouted stressed. I sat next to Cameron and he sniggered.
"What's so funny?" I questioned raising an eyebrow at him.
"Just that as soon as you come in the lesson and he shouts at you." Cameron laughed.
"I know. What's his problem?" I said leaning on the table.
"Well last week he had a wedding ring on and now he doesn't. So I'm guessing something to do with that." Cameron suggested
"Gosh. I'd hate to have a marriage fail. I'd just like to get married once and to grow old with the same person." I said dozing out the window.
"Yeah me too. Anyway shall we write more on the language of poems?" He said picking up the work book.
"Yeah. We've only got roughly two weeks to finish. We have lodes to do." I sighed.
"Well we could always study after school or weekends. How about Saturday?" Cameron asked.
"Yeah that would be good." I smiled.
"Okay I'll be at your house at 5?"
"Yeah that'll be fine. Do you know where I live then?" I asked.
"Yeah. I saw you going in your house yesterday. Mines the house with the moving truck. Just moved there obviously." Cameron told me.
"Oh Yeah I saw that yesterday." I replied. We worked and got two pages of work done. After that the bell rang.
"We'll see you." Cameron dismissed as he grabbed his books.
"Bye." I left too.
"I'm sorry but did I just hear you making plans with Cameron on Saturday?" Hannah waiting for an answer. Jay and Hannah stared at me like I wasn't suppose to. That second I realised
"Crap! I totally forgot we were braking into Ivy's."
"SHHHH." Hannah and Jay shushed.
"Sorry I'll tell him as soon as I see him. I can't believe I forgot I mean it's been on my mind all day. I guess I got distracted by speaking to Cameron." I smiled
"Seriously, you like Cameron?" Jay laughed.
"Yeah. Why? So what if I do." I frowned.
"He's way to in love with his camera to be thinking about relationships." Jay laughed again.
"Well so that can change. Anyway why do you care about who I like?" I raised one eyebrow.
"Yeah Jay, why do you care?" Hannah suspiciously looked at Jay.
"Well I just thought you had better taste then the popular one who everyone likes." Jay shrugged.
"Cameron's cool." Hannah said.
"He is. Anyway bye got to get to my next lesson." I dismissed.
I had math and went and sat next to Liv or should I say Elizabeth.
"Hi." I greeted sitting down.
"Ivy texted me." Liv worriedly said.
"Saying?" I wondered intrigued.
"She wants me to meet her after school."
"And if you don't?" I asked.
"She tells everyone me and Elizabeth tried to kill Georgina." Liv froze.
"What does she want from you?" I demanded an answer.
Liv shrugged her shoulders.
"What have you done to deserve this. Tell me I'm helping you, don't you think I deserve to know the truth?" I questioned.
"...We were only children. We use to play pranks on her, I mean it was harmless fun, for us including Georgina. We were the three popular girls who just wanted some fun, not realising it was hurting people. Ivy was an easy target we were at a party and we planned for a good prank because we found out she liked Georgina's boyfriend. So we took some of her belongings and we set fire to them in front of everyone. I feel so bad. That's when I found out that some of the stuff we set on fire were her parents and her parents died in a fire. I felt so bad as soon as I found out. We were stupid I mean what sick people do that crap? Now I guess she's been looking for revenge ever since." Liv started to cry.
"Well no wonder she's wanting revenge. How could you?" I disgustedly asked.
"I know. It was horrible. I've told her so many times that I was sorry." She cried.
"I wish I never got involved. God if I wasn't so curious all the time, I would be still calling you Elizabeth, I'd be able to sleep at night and I wouldn't be in this mess." I rushed angrily.
"Well feel free to leave the situation. I never asked you to be involved did I?" Liv yelled.
"Leave the situation? It's too late to be backing out now. I guess your meeting her though." I said frustratedly.
"I've got no choice but to go." Liv sighed.
"Well I'm still angry but I'm going to have to be there I'll wait in jays car and soon as your done come and tell us what she's said." I obeyed.
"I promise i will."
After lesson finished I told Hannah and Jay everything.
"Oh my god that's harsh." Hannah said shocked.
"Yeah. But I've done things I regret too. That was her in the past we can obviously tell she's changed for the better." Jay explained.
"Yeah. I'm just worried now about the revenge, I mean Ivy's crazy whats she going to do." Hannah worried.
"The worst thing she can do tell everyone that Liv and Elizabeth tried to kill Georgina." I explained.
"So I guess where going to have to be there when Ivy talks to her. Just incase she kidnaps her, or some crazy shit like that." Jay sighed.
"See you after school by Jays car then." I turned around to leave
"Indeed." Hannah ended the conversation. We all left for class.
