Raining Hellfire 2

Chapter 1: Secrets, Secrets, Secrets...

"You have a sister?"

"No way that's your sister."

"I didn't see that coming."

You couldn't focus on who was saying what. Your mind was trying to make connections, not fully understanding what your eyes were telling you.

When did Max get here? And how- your thoughts were cut short as the driver finally exited the vehicle, the blaring music switched off as they opened their door and stepped out into the sun.

Nearby, a group of girls physically swooned at the sight of the handsome boy arriving, his jean jacket not making him any less cooler. He just had an aura of confidence that made every girl want to date him and every guy want to be him.

"Okay, who's that?" Lucas raised his eyebrows, looking intimidated.

"Let me guess, Y/N's long lost cousin." Mike suggested. If it was meant to be funny, he failed.

"Shit." You turned around and moved so that you were hidden behind Eddie.

"I assume you know him too." Eddie chuckled half-heartedly, his hand gently brushing against your leg.

"I- I have a lot to explain-" You began until Dustin joined you, looking panicked.

"Uh, I hate to say this but he's coming over here." The boy said.

"Oh, god no." You groaned. You reached down to your right and began picking up bags, throwing them towards the kids and they caught them with confused looks.

"This isn't even my bag!" Lucas exclaimed, swapping with Will.

"Just go to school, okay? You're gonna be late if you don't leave now anyway but trust me... you don't wanna stick around for this." You glanced between each of them with pleading eyes.

"Uh... okay." Mike shrugged, nodding at you, "Let's go."

Will walked side by side with Mike, Lucas letting out a sigh of frustration but following close behind. That just left Dustin.

"Dustin, please." You knelt to the boy, matching his height.

"Tell me later?" He smirked and you held out your hand. You both executed your handshake perfectly before you gave him a quick nod.

"Yeah. Now go. They're like halfway there." You said and he turned his head, yelling for his friends as he ran to catch up with them.

You let out a sigh and glanced to your left to see the guy still making his way toward you, a smug look on his face.

"Eddie-" You started but he held out a hand, stopping you.

"Whatever's going on, I'm not leaving." He declared, taking your hand. The concern on his face just made you want to grab his hand and run away with him.

"Please." You whispered, moving your hand away, "I don't know what hes going to say but I'd rather find you later and tell you myself."

He glanced at the boy who had stopped for a second to flirt with a girl he came across. Eddie let out a sigh.

"Fine." But you tell me everything. "And if he hurts you-"

"I'll be fine. See you at lunch?"

"I'll be there." He gave you a kiss, a little longer than just a quick peck and you had a feeling it had to do with the figure approaching.

Finally, Eddie grabbed his things and made his way inside the building, looking back at you until he was behind closed doors.

"Wow, isn't he just cute." The mocking laugh echoed around you, releasing the memories you had locked up years ago.
