Pretty Little Secrets

Chapter 10

I felt a sudden grip on my shoulder as I was being spun around and pressed against my locker. It was Tristin. I hadn't spoken to him in 3 days after Destiny told me to leave him alone and now he was pressed against me, his chest touching mine, our eyes locked in to each others. Today he was wearing a grey beanie with a dark blue long sleeved shirt. His piercing light blue eyes gleamed against it. "Why are you ignoring me? Is it something I did, I said?!" He said, speaking very quickly but he didn't sound angry, he sounded almost worried. "I kept thinking it over, maybe she just wants space, maybe she wants time to settle in, maybe I pushed her too far, was it the friend request thing or-"

"Tristin!" I interrupted quickly, causing him to finally look up and in to my eyes again. "I didn't want to ignore you I..., I..., I just.. had to."

"You had to?"

"Er.. yeah." I realised how ridiculous it sounded.

"Why? Is this some chick thing? Is it how all of you work? I thought you really liked me Kate?!" He sounded very worried now and almost upset.

"I did like you! I still do! It's just.."

"What? Just tell me Kate, you can tell me anything. I really like you too! More than i've ever liked anyone." He said grabbing one of my hands, and staring intently in to my eyes.

"It was Destiny."

"Huh?" He said looked confused. He looked cute when he was confused. I had to give my self a mental slap to get my self out of it.

"She told me... she told me to leave you alone because you were hers and you two were a thing and I should lay off." He let go of my hand, pulled it in to a fist and slammed it in to the locker next to me.

"That girl, that bitch. She thinks she can control everyone, and own them. When is she going to get it. I don't frikin' like her anymore!" He said followed by a loud "Aghh." I failed to suppress a laugh. He was even hotter when he was angry. He raised his eyebrows at me, then smiled. "I've missed you Kate."

"I've missed you too."

He looked around the hallway that was now nearly empty as nearly everyone had gone to lunch. He got closer again, leaning over me. He put one hand on the locker behind me to support him, then slowly bought the other hand to my chin, raising it so I was looking directly at him. His face got closer, his lips now centimeters away from mine. I closed my eyes, taking in the moment, I felt his forehead touch mine and I puckered my lips. I began to feel the pressure of his against mine. Then all of a sudden he jolted away. I opened my eyes and looked up to see a a large group of people walking towards us. Tristin raised his arm above his head putting his hand on his shoulder, that cute thing boys always do when they're trying not to look flustered. I looked at the people who were now right in front of us. It was only Elena with Danny and Summer and everyone else. She gave me a huge smile and raised one eyebrow in to a prefect arch, indicating that she'd just seen what was happening. She then peered at Tristin's perfect butt in his skinny jeans as she walked past him. Her mouth fell in to a perfect 'O' shape, then she put her thumbs up in approval. I gave a huge smile and waited for the whole group to pass.

Tristin gave me his cute boyish smile. "Few, I thought it was Destiny."

"I thought she didn't own you?" I said jokingly.

"That was for your sake, not mine." He replied laughing. He put his arm around my waist as we began to walk to to the cafeteria.

As we were about to enter he pulled his arm back and put his hand in to his pocket. "Now you go in and sit with your other friends and i'll count to 20 then come in after you okay? Barbie over there won't suspect a thing." He said quite seriously, but still joking at the the same time. That's what I loved about Tristin. He didn't like serious moods and if there ever was one he'd always try and lighten it. He seemed genuinely concerned that Destiny would find out about me and him. I guess he knew what she was capable of.
