The Perilous Secrets

Chapter 7

The final bell went and everybody in my biology class left in a blind of an eye. I made my way outside and saw Jacob on his phone leaning against the school building. I made my way over to him slowly in hopes of one of the others getting there before me. but obviously luck is never on my side.

Jacob looked up from his phone and frowned but covered it up with a friendly smile in less than a second, if i hadn't been looking at his face i would have missed it.

"hey new girl" he said looking down at me. I knew he was using his height to intimidate me which had little to no effect but i just had a bad feeling about him which i couldn't put my finger on it.

"hey, oh and its connie" i smiled back. i saw Emily walking towards us, i've never been so relieved in my life.

"hey guys" she smiled walking faster to get to us. Jacob put his phone away acknowledging Emilys presence and began chatting to her.

"you guys ready?" Summer asked with Caleb next to her as they approached us. "we could go to the abandoned skate park on bridge view?" Caleb smirked which the others all immediately agreed to. they all had giddy expressions which already hinted were about to do something thats going to get us into trouble.

we headed off to the abandoned skatepark which only took us a ten minute walk from the park. But we did have to cut through a field to get to. which in that field we got chased by Sheep that had lambs.

"so what are we doing here" i said to the group as they sat down in the middle of the skatepark. They all shared glances before Caleb took a bottle of vodka and coke out of his bag.

"you drink?" he smiled at me. I nodded smiling back as he took out plastic cups and opened the bottle pouring everybody a drink.

all of us began drinking and chatting about how bad school is and the approaching exams before i knew it the sun had set. Emily, Summer and Jacob went to the top of the skatepark to try and climb the ramp leaving me and Caleb.

"do you know how to skate?" Caleb asked untying his skateboard from the back of his bag. I shook my headed and looked down avoiding his smile that only grew further.

"ill teach you if you'd like?" he asked getting off the ramp we were sat on and reaching his hand out to me. I grabbed it hesitantly and jumped off the ramp, only to lose my balance and almost trip.

"woah your a lightweight" he laughed helping me get my balance. "im not a lightweight, ive only had three drinks!" i slurred slightly giving him a grin.

suddenly we heard music being blasted from the other side of the skatepark. We both looked over and saw Summer connecting her speaker to one of their phones.

Caleb pulled me over to one of the small ramps and put his skateboard down. "okay give me both of your hands and stand on it" he instructed taking both of my hands to keep me from falling.

i stepped onto the skateboard wobbling slightly, he started to pull me by my hands which evidently made the skateboard move with me.

"look I'm doing it!" i laughed looking into his kind dark brown eyes. He laughed at my outburst while continuing to pull me.

"would you like to go over a small ramp?" He asked me in an unsure tone. I rolled my eyes jokingly and pointed to a bigger ramp.

"can i do that one?" i asked hopefully, he laughed shaking his head. "you cant even balance alone i think we should do the small ramp first" he replied pulling me over to the small ramp.

he brought me up the small ramp and let go of my hands "lets see if you can go down it alone, don't worry ill be here to catch you if you fall" he smiled making my heart rush with excitement.
