Our Little Secret ~•~

Chelatè

While walk to the car I wave at Kreed and get in the car."Oooo... who is he?"Mom asks.
"Someone I met just a few minutes ago, mom"I respond.
"How was your first day at school honey?"
"It was...good mom, I made a friend... her name is Ianna."
"That's nice sweetie"
I tell Mom about the rest of my day, but not the part of Chelatè, I didn't want to disappoint Mom but the rest of the car ride is silent. I stare out the window and think past the day.
What did Chelatè mean when she said "Remember where you come from" , did she know about my dad, Walter?
"That can't be possible, I made sure that they were gone, forever" I mutter under my breath.
" Is everything all right honey?" Mom asks while pulling up into the driveway.
"Yes, mom I just need to rest" I said while leaving the car.

I open the door and go up stairs to my room. I fall face down to my bed.
"What a DAY!" I shout into the pillow.
I take out my phone and watch YouTube and get change into a sage green sweat shorts and pastel pink tank top and struggle as put my braids into a bun. I lie on my bed and watch YouTube until I decide to do my homework.
The rest of the night was normal and consisted of me taking a shower, watching Netflix ,stroll through social media and chatting with friends.

THREE DAYS LATER:

It's Friday and mom drops me off at school. I walk to and Chelatè pulls my elbow to the far corner of the school. She finally lets me go and says" Look Madarin , tonight, midnight meet me at Central Park. We need to talk"
"What if I don't want to?" I ask.
"Then you would mess things up for yourself" Chelatè says while showing me a picture on her phone.
"Where did you get that, CHELATÈ how did you get that" I demand.
"Tonight, midnight" Chelatè responds. She walks away and leaves me in confusion. I blankly stare into space when someone taps me.
"Arinia!" a voice says.
I turn around so see a girl with bronze tan skin and rose colored cheeks she had black long briads.
"Hi, do I know you?"I ask
"No, definitely not, I'm Indigo, I just wanted to make sure that Chelatè didn't mess with you again."
"Hey Indigo, she didn't do anything she knew was stupid" I giggle.
"Oh, that's good, I need to go now but I hope to see you soon." Indigo replies.
Indigo walks away and so do I.

As I walk through the hallway I smell a familiar sent I turn to see it is Kreed.
"Hey stranger" I say.
"Hey Miss Ari, I need to steal during break"
"Why..."I ask.
" I am in need, I need a huge favor from you and I can say at break, so how about it?"Kreed asks.
"Hmm... I wouldn't actually do this but sure" I reply.
"Thank you sooo much"Kris's thanks me while running to class.
When I get to class Ianna catches my eye. She is talking to boy. Not in the "I wanna be friends way", he was short compared to other guys in my class and had caramel tanned skin, he had charming dark eyes and had a nice smile. I go behind the door and he comes my way. I see him walk away from me after a shot while and I catch I whiff of him, he smelt of the English Blazer. I quickly go to Ianna.

"So, who is?" I ask playfully.
"Oh... it's just the guy...." Ianna vaguely  responses.
"Does this boy have a name?"
"Umm... Troy..." Ianna finally admits.
"TROY?! Didn't you just say a few days ago he was toxic?"I ask.
"I was clearly wrong, maybe Chelatè brought out the worst and in him. We were actually talking for the past two days and he is so sweet, and kinda cute." Ianna says.
"Are you sure?" I ask her "I don't want one of my first friends here getting hurt."
"Aww... don't worry if something is fishy then I will walk away, plus I wanna have some fun."Ianna responses calmly.
We both giggle as the bell rings and we take our seats.

The first few lessons pass and I can't take what Chelatè may or may not know out of my head. I know that as much as if hurts, my hero,my dad is gone and it is all because of me and Walter, as the lessons go buy I try for get about. History is the lessons before break and Ms Yard calls me to her desk. I walk slowly and quietly to her desk. She hands me a strawberry lollipop"Those were my favorite growing up you know, anyways how has your first week been here at Richards High?" Ms Yard asks.
"Well, it's been good Ms Yard" I reply.
"Thats great sweetie and I want you to know that I am always here to help if you need it, okay?" She tells me.
"Thanks you much, I really appreciate it"
The bell for break rings.
"Enjoy, your break Arinia" Ms Yard says to me.
I walk to the cafeteria and I decide to have fries and chicken nuggets with some juice. I take a seat with Ianna at our usual seat and as always the food is amazing. From a distance I see Kreed waving at me. "Oh shoot, I forgot I had a meeting with Kreed" I say in a rush.
"Ooo the Kreed GATES, okay..." Ianna smirks " I'll just hang with Franiece of a bit"
I quickly get my remaining lunch and go sit with Kreed.

"Hey New Girl" He smirks at me.
" Hey" I respond.
" I guess your wondering why I called you here to speak with me?"
"Yea, I am"
"I think you are cute" he tells me.
"What?!" I ask again as I realize it's all in my head.
"I am starting to apply to university and I need some beneficial leisure hours so I can say I did something good with my free time, so I thought-"
My phone rings and it's number I don't recognize.
"Please, answer it.."
I do so. " Look here bitch, I don't like people questioning me and if you know what's good for you then I suggest you shut the fucking mouth of yours, okay " the phone  drops and I'm speechless.
" Is everything okay?" Kreed asks in concerned tone.
"Yea... please finish on." I reply back.
"So long story short I need to like tutor you or make some sort of difference in your life so... we would need to spend a lot time together this year so I can go to college... do you accept?" He asks.
I stare into his eyes and I suddenly become nervous"Umm... sure Kreed" I agree.
"One question, do you know Chelatè by any chance?" I ask.
"Yeah, redhead and crazy I know her...why" he responds.
"I think she is on to me... I feel like she knows about me and ... Walter" I say in a sadden tone.
"Who is Walter?"
"Um... never mind I need to go..."I say as I quickly stand up.
" Is everything okay Ari?" Kreed asks.
"Yea... no I mean yes" I say out of panic and walk away quickly.

I check my phone to see a message from a unknown number:
Tonight, midnight or you know what else.
