My Secret

Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3

I spent the next day trying to figure out what my mom was talking about. Then something in my mind told me, It's Dad. So that was why she was so mad. Why is she suddenly blaming me for this. I had to talk to her, but tommorow school starts. I don't have her number and she'll be gone for 3 days. I don't know what to do, she's probably gone to tell everyone that I poisoned him or something. Anyway, no need to dwell on that now. It's too late, she already hates me. Besides I have studies to catch up with since I didn't do anything for 7 days.

SCHOOL

"Hey, Erica! I thought you'd like to hang out today. Want to? It'll be me, you, Brandon, Mitchell and of course, Emily and Sly.", said Jordan, my bestfriend. Then she saw the cold stone stare in my eyes, hid her face and said," Oh, ok. Well then some other time, I guess..." With that, she turned and walked away, meeting the other people she mentioned hanging out with.

WALKING HOME

"Hey, Erica! Wait up!", said an unknown voice I had never heard before. I turned around to see a guy in a black shirt that says "EMO RULES" along with pants that had rips all down one side of the left leg. Some black converse went with them and a black and white striped beanie covering short black hair.

Who was this boy? I had no clue. I barely know him, but now I want him. He continued to come towards me, panting. To me, this, he, was was such a breathtaking sight. I just wanted him to wrap me up in his arms and take me away from my mother, before the pain got any worse. I know that can't happen, because love doesn't exist, but I love him.

When he finally reached me he grabs his knees to catch his breath. After 5 minutes of silence I ask him," Who are you? How do you know me?" He looks up to me as if to say I've seen you around. He then gets up and says,"Hey, I'm Daniel Goring and I've seen you around school and thought maybe you'd like to get a coffee sometime."

I looked at this boy, who smiled at me sheepishly, before I gave him my answer, I turned to see if Mom was coming. I then said," Sorry, I'd love to, but I can't." He looked disappointed, but then said,"At least let me walk you home." I turned away towards the stop sign behind me and said,"Sorry, but we can't do that either." Then I walked away, back home, where my mother had cameras.
