Trust is a dangerous path.

Chapter 9 : Dad's secret

I wake up and the first thing i think is 'It's wednesday' the second thing it think is 'I'm late'.

If i am quick i'll be just in time. I put on black jeans and a dark green sweater. I rush downstairs and i hear my dad's voice weird because he never wakes up this early since he has to work so late.

"Yes i'll be there. .............This weekend yes." I what i hear him say before hanging up.

"Good morning." I say. He turns around and says "kaya shouldn't you be at school?" "Yes, i woke up late." i answer. "Who was that? i aksed.

"Oh no one special. Just so you know i'll have to leave for the whole weekend." He said. "What why?" i asked. "Work." Is the only thing he said before dissapearing out the front door.

Like i believe that.

Without thinking straight i drop my bag and go to my dad's office. Normally i'm not aloud in there but it can't matter if he doesn't find out. I opened the door and wow, letters everywhere. He definitely needs to clean this room. I looked through some papers and most where very boring letters. I was about to give up before i saw on the desk was a ticket. Not just one ticket, 3 tickets.

I looked at the dates and one was for Friday. Which is when he's leaving i geuss. The other 2 were on the same date. Monday.

I quickly thought about who the other person could possibly be. And the truth is i had no idea.

I went back into the living room and i saw my bag on the floor. Shit! I mumbled to myself. Now i'm late for sure. I look at the clock and the first is already almost over.

I take my bag and run out of the house. I open my phone and see 5 missed calls from Lira and 13 Messages. Jeez girl.

I opened the school doors and basically run to my class. I knocked on the door and when i came in everyone was staring at me. Great.

"Miss ovana, please take your seat on the end of the day i want to know why you're late." The teacher said. I nodded and quickly went to my seat. Lira slapped me on my arm. "Ouch." i said looking at her. "I called you 5 times and left messages!" she whisper yelled. "I know, i'll explain in break." She nodded.

10 minutes later the bell rang. Lira immediately turned to me. I turned to the side and from the side i saw Noah and Miles were listening closely. "Where were you?" Lira asked.

"Okay, first of all i just woke up late." i said. "Typical Kaya." Lira said. "Yeah, yeah whatever." i shushed her. "Second of all my dad is leaving the whole weekend." I continued. "What why?" Lira asked.

"Exactly my question, so i asked him and he just said it was for work which obviously isn't true." i answered still wondering why he would leave.

"What did you do?" Lira asked me looking very sharp at me. "Nothing." i lied. "Kaya Ovana you tell me what you did right know." She said pretty loud. "Okay, hold you're voice down." i took a deep breath. and started my story again. "I looked in my dad's office." "You did what?!" Lira said but i quickly continued. "There were letters everywhere but not the point. I found 3 boat ticket's, so i looked at the dates and one is leaving friday which is when my dad leaves and the other 2 are for monday. After i found it i realised i had school and then i ran to school." i finished my story.

"Do you have any family that he could bring or something?" Miles asked. "No." "Any friends that are not on this island." Noah asked. "No i never left the island in my life and i thought that my dad didn't either now i'm not so sure." I said. "He's obviously keeping something from me and i don't like it one bit."

"It's weird yes, but i'm sure he has an explanation." Lira said. "See it from the bright side we can have a sleepover." Lira said excited i couldn't help but laugh. Then the bell rang.

We had class and in the next break Miles told me a hilarious story. Apperently he and Noah went to a friends house and there Noah ended up fighting over chicken nuggets.

They put up a little fight even when this fight was Noah's fight Miles started arguing with the others too.

Miles and Noah left with the chicken nuggets after all.

After school i went straight home and geuss what, my dad wasn't home. I went opstairs changed showered and brushed my teeth and did my skincare. I was so tired for some reason and fell asleep a couple minutes after falling on my bed.

I woke up by a very annoying sound. I looked at my clock and saw i slept about 2 hours. I focuse back on the noise and it was my phone. Well, someone's calling me, wonder who it would be? I looked at the popped up name on the screen. Lira, ofcourse.

We called for 3 hours and we talked about, school, my dad and most of the time we talked about Noah and Miles.

Lira has a big crush on Noah and i'm pretty sure everyone in class notices. I mean it's so obvious. Lira also didnt stop asking me if i like miles. I answered no for the first hour, but what is the point if Lira already knows anyways she just wants me to admit it. After 2 hours i did. I have a crush on Miles, still it is weird to say. Miles is so different, he's one of the last that i thought i would have a crush on.

Still here i am laying in my bed thinking about Miles.
