Secrecy

Chapter 7:

Wednesday, January 20
5:45 p.m

I woke up the next morning with a knock on my door. I groaned. "Who is it?" I asked. 

"It's me Cristian." I heard.

I gasped. "Give me a moment." I said really quickly and ran into my bathroom. 

After brushing my teeth and changing to new clean clothes, I opened the door. "Hey."

He laughed. "You're crazy." He simply said.

"What are you doing here so early?" I asked.

"Just wanted to check up on you." He simply answered as he followed me downstairs.

"Are you two going out?" I heard someone ask when we entered.

I felt my cheeks flush red as I looked at Cristian then over to Tyler who had spoken. He too was bright red. "No." he said. I looked at Tyler and widened my eyes as in saying, There you have your answer.

I was dying of embarrassment. "We should get going." I whispered as I quickly grabbed an apple and left running outside.

"Tinker bell." I heard Cristian's voice. I let out my breath and looked at him, wondering why he had said my name. He stood in front of me, looking into my eyes. I looked into his. They were brown and shiny. His hair was brown too and it was slightly curly. It wasn't a mess, the curls where mostly on the top of his head and the sides where slightly trimmed. His hair was usually combed upward, like always, but right now it was messy and scattered all over the place.

"Belle." He whispered.

"What?" I asked.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing." I said.

"Really?" He asked.

I quickly nodded. "Yeah. You're just seeing things."

He smiled and leaned forward, gently pressing his lips on my forehead. "You'll tell me if something was wrong, right?" He asked.

I quickly nodded. "Yeah, of course. You always now how to make me feel better."

He smiled. "Well, I am your best friend and it took forever to finally understand you." He said then gave me a wink.

I frowned softly and punched his shoulder playfully. "You're an idiot." I laughed.

He chuckled. "I'm a smart, handsome idiot" he said.

"And you're admitting  that?" I asked.

He gave a sheepish laugh.

I smiled and rolled my eyes. "Are you going to school today?" I then asked.

"Nope, they're going to ask me how I left the hospital so early." He said. I nodded understanding. I was about to ask him if he wanted a ride home, but remembered he had brought his car yesterday. "Well see you later." He said.

I nodded and slid into my car. "Bye see you later."

A while later I found myself parking in the schools parking lot. After getting out, I closed the door behind me and made my way to the building. I entered the school and walked straight to class.

The class didn't start till 7:45 so I was a few minutes early, thankfully. I sat down beside Katy and gave her a warm smile then took out my books. "Did you enjoy the party yesterday?" She asked.

"Yeah, it was fun. I was just careful not to drink to much." I lied.

She laughed silently. "Well, that's good, we got to be safe here and there." She said. I smiled and nodded.
