The Lies In Our Love (book 1)

Second Lie

"Over here?" I ask.

He points out." Yeah... ok,stop right here."

I looked at him. We were in the middle of the forest in the outskirts of the city. Maybe he really is going to kidnap you... He brought you to the forest! As I thought of the quickest way to escape or hide, Austin interrupts my thoughts.

"Aren't you coming out?"

"Uh, yeah. Give me a second."

He gets out and I look under the seat for a weapon. I find only a plastic knife, but I keep it anyways. I get out and lock the car. He waits for me not to far.

"Come on." He says and walks casually, hands in his pockets.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

"Can I get a hint? Please?"

He slows down and takes my hand. I flinch.

"What's wrong? I'm holding your hand so that you don't fall in."

"Fall in what?" I ask.

He points down with his available hand. He didn't want me to fall in the rushing water of the river.

I blush in embrassment and he laughs again. His laugh his really nice, and so are his eyes... I shake my head and take his hand. There was a tree trunk convientlty waiting there. I go first, my right hand in his left.

"Woah.."

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yeah."

I take small steps on the large bark. I stumble and start to fall in.

"Austin!"

He takes me by the hips and pulls me back. The tip of my nose ends up in his chest. I can feel my heart beat in my own. Is it possible I've fallen for a dude I met a few hours ago? He smells divine, wonderful.

Austin laughs again and says:

"We can come back, if you want. Friday night, I'll pick you up. 9."

I blush. "O-ok."

He grins." It's a date."

September 2nd, 8:46

Dear dad,
First day of my new life completed. I met 4 girls who are most likely to become my best friends: Angelica, Tal, Aurora and Dylan. I also met a boy. Apperently, Austin, *the boy I met* hasn't talked to anyone since we were all like 7. But he seemed to really like me. And I admit, it's possible I like him too, even if we met today. Is it a love at first sight? If it is, I can only hope that it doesn't end like all the other times... it's my 7th adoptive family, and once again, they do not know why I was put to adoption. But it's also the longest time I've stayed with such a family. 2 years! They better behave, if they do not, they shall meet the others.

Forever yours,
Satinia. Aka, 'aliyah.'

"Hiya!" Dylan jumps on my back as I make my way to class.

"Hey Dylan."

"So, did you do your homework?"

"What homework?"

"The math homework."

"Um, I'm not in your math class.."

She looks at me." Shit! Now who am I going to copy off? I'm so screwed..." She turns around and races down the hall.

"Can Aliyah Herion come to the office? Repeat: can aliyah Herion come to the office?" Miss Jolla announced.

I made my way to the office by pushing through the rowdy high school students. When I arrived, the first thing I noticed was that Austin was in the principals office.

Miss Jolla saw me and smiled.

"Hey honey. Just called you in to tell you that you're leaving early."

"How early?"

"Your parents are picking you up in..." She checks her watch. "8 minutes. You can stay here if you want."

"I think I will." Especially when Austin is in the office, yelling at the principal.

Austin and Mr Williams come out.

"Stephanie, call this young man's parents immediatly!" He adresses to Miss Jolla.

"Yes sir."

"You take a seat to this young lady! I'm sure she is more innocent than you! Never in my 20 years of..." Mr Williams trails on, getting the first aid kit.

Austin had scratched his lip, and punched his eye. He takes a seat beside me, breathing heavily. It's the first time I notice how muscled he is.

"What did you do?" I ask.

"I sent a guy to the hospital."

"What?! Why?!" I put my hand around my mouth.

He looks me straight in the eye and answers:
" He called you a slutty bitch."

Yay! I don't know if this chapter is long enough or too short. It seems long to me but then again I've been working on it on my spare time at school. :)
