The Hidden Secret

Chapter 1

My alarm clock pulled me out of my dream, which I was quite enjoying. Its not every day that you get to kiss Connor Franta. I lazily smack the alarm clock and roll out of bed. Monday morning again. I walk over to my dresser much like a zombie. What can I say, I'm not a morning person. I grab a t-shirt and my favorite jeans. I make my way to the bathroom to make something out of this hair. After several attempts to make it look cute, I settle with a ponytail. Sophisticated I know. I put on some concealer and some mascara, I'm not much for make-up, and head downstairs for some much needed breakfast. You see I love food and I don't pass up any opportunity to eat it.

"Hey what's for breakfast?" I ask my mom sitting at the kitchen table pulling out my phone.

"Whatever you get yourself" Mom said as usual.

"Fine" I say dragging myself out of my chair and over to the pantry.

After gazing for a while, I grab some chocolate cheerios, my favorite. I grab a bowl, some milk, and my favorite spoon. I know weird I have a favorite spoon. I scarf it down while scrolling through my facebook feed.

This was my first day of senior year. I am excited to say the least. I was finally on my last year at hell, I mean school. At least my best friends Rachel and Ty will be there. Rachel is a junior and Ty is a senior. Rachel is the best. She loves food, One Direction, 5SOS, and jokes. We have been friends since the first day of school last year. We just clicked. Ty and I are a totally different story. We have been friends for about 4 years. He is like Rachel in ways. He is funny, loves video games just like me, and has the cutest dog. We all go to school together.

After breakfast, I grab my car keys and yell for my sister.

"Come on Ash!" I yell and she comes out of the bathroom and grabs her backpack. I go and start up my truck. She hops in and I back out of the driveway.

After a short drive, we arrive where we go to school. I park out back with the rest of the seniors and head in. I dispose my bag in my locker and head to home room. Seniors and juniors share a homeroom at my school. Which is awesome.

"Hey Rachel!" I yell and run over to her desk.

"Hey!" she says eating grapes, like she always does in homeroom. Ty comes over to join us.

"Hey" I say smiling at him. He is wearing his daryl shirt. He loves Daryl from the walking dead. As do I.

"Hey" He says back smiling as well. We all chat about summer but me and Ty don't have much to talk about because we hung out alot this summer. Rachel lives a lot further away than he does though so we only saw each other a few times. Sadly.

The bell rings and we disperse to our seats. Mine's is right next to Rachel thank god. But I don't think the teacher was very smart to do that but I can't complain.

The day went by pretty fast and it was already lunch. Me, Rachel, Ty and Tj head to our regular table from last year. Ty and Tj talk about sports and me and Rachel just talk about random stuff like we always do.

"Guess what I have for lunch?" I ask Rachel.

"Hot pocket?" She asks.

"You know it" I replied revealing my hot pocket. We are hot pocket buddies because she usually brings one too. But hers are more of a mystery because she just grabs one and never knows. Nor does she care.

The end of the day comes quickly thank god. School is one of my least favorite things. I grab my stuff and head to Ty's locker. I usually give him a ride home.

"What's up?" I say walking up next to him.

"Oh not to much. School" He says making a face. I laugh.

"Ready to go? Its just gonna be us cuz Ash has some after school thing" I ask him.

"Yeah" He says grabbing his bag and throwing it over his shoulder. I turn around and head for the door and walk towards my truck. My truck is a Dodge with a v10. I know pretty awesome. and Lifted of course. I throw my bag in the back seat and jump up into the drivers seat. Ty gets up in the passengers side with much less of a jump. I start it up and 106.5 starts playing and I crank that ish. I pull out and start going down the road. After a little ways, Ty turns down the music.

"Hey!" I say sadly but joking.

"Sorry" He says smirking. "No ones home at my house so can we just go to yours?" He asks.

"Yeah sure" I say taking a left instead of a right at the intersection. If he comes over, we usually watch worlds dumbest or the walking dead. Or play a video game.

I arrive home and my outdoor cat greets me.

"Hey kitty" I say petting him. It doesn't have a name so its just kitty. We head inside and up to my room. I chuck my bag in the corner where I usually chuck it. Ty laughs and throws his there too. I flop onto my couch and sigh. Ty flops down next to me and grabs the remote and turns it to truTv. Worlds dumbest is on. Awesome! We watch it for a while.

Ty suddenly tenses up a bit and seems to be concentrating on thought.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Oh nothing I just remember that I have to leave." He answers playing it off.

"Ok do you need me to drive you there?" I ask sitting up on the couch.

"No I'll just run there." He answers and goes to the corner and gets his bag.

"Run? isn't it kinda far for that?" I ask.

"Nahh just a ten minute run or so" He says heading for my door.

"Well are you going to say where you're going?" I ask him getting up off the couch and follow him out the door.

"Just home. I have to feed Duke and take him out" He says.

"Oh I want to go!" I say. I love his dog. He is so cute.

"Maybe tomorrow or something" He laughs. He goes out the door and I go out onto the porch. He takes off running pretty fast down the road, taking of his shirt as he goes. Damn, didn't know he could run that fast. I sit down on my porch and just watch him run down the road.
