A Story Of Silent Love

Shattered secrets

Wednesday 22nd May

6:30AM
The alarm went off, and Kayla was already up. She got changed and out the door by 7:45 since she was no longer meeting with Ruby for a while.

7:46AM
As she walked out the door, Parker was there. Right outside her driveway with his car waiting for her. 'Hey piano girl, dreamt about me again?'

Kayla sped walked up to him with a confused laugh, 'You crazy person, what if my parents see you?' She said looking back at the house.

'I don't care if they do. We're going to school, we won't get in trouble for that now will we?' He said pulling her in for a kiss, his arms wrapped around her waist.

8:13AM
They got to the car park early, for once, and sat there with music playing on in the background. 'So we have music together in third period, before lunch which is perfect because then we can walk with each other to lunch.' Parker said with a smirk on his face.

'You are acting so much different than before, it's nice I like this side of you' Kayla said with them holding hands together.

'I've got my music exam on Friday, you're so lucky you joined Monday, you don't even get to do the exam.'

'Indeed, I am lucky. Lucky I won't get to do the exam and lucky that I have the most beautiful girl ever.. right next to me'

8:16AM
Parker got out of the car and carried his and Kayla's backpack to the entrance of the school. 'This is where we sadly depart mademoiselle'

She didn't know what was better, that she had the most perfect guy ever right next to her, or that he's french!

They walked to their first class without each other. Parker walked to Geography, which was all the way on the third floor. To make it worse, there's like 30 steps on each floor soo it was too much especially cause it was summer and it was so hot! All the kids pushing him coming up and down the stairs. Just chaos.

He entered Geography and sat in the seat that he got placed with on Monday. Everyone was still staring at him from the fight with Spencer. He tried to ignore it by just opening the textbook and answering the questions.

'So where's little miss perfect?' A voice behind him said, he turned around to see it was the one and only.. Ruby Wilson.

'She's in Art? Where else would she be.'

'Oh I don't know, maybe skipping school with another guy that she just met' Ruby said with a sneer.

Ruby was still mad at Parker, he understood that, but mad at Kayla? The two have been friends since they were little. He just didn't understand any of it.

'Look just leave Kayla alone, she hasn't done anything wrong. She can do what she wants, you can't control her life all the time Ruby.' Parker said as he closed the textbook for full attention on their conversation.

'Spencer told me all about you. All about your past, and I'm not letting her anywhere near you. No matter what it takes.'

'You don't know nothing, that was just Spencer's point of view, leave Kayla out of this.' He said sitting up straight, looking at Ruby with a serious look. 'Leave her alone'

'RUBY, PARKER, ATTENTION PLEASE. NO GOSSIPING' Miss Hart said.

Parker turned around to focus on his textbook, ignoring Ruby's voice in the distance.

'Watch your back..' Ruby said in a whisper.

10:30AM
It was time for music. Parker walked in, looking down at the floor not even realising that Kayla was nowhere to be seen. As he sat down, the register got taken. He said here, but Kayla didn't. He looked around to see where she could be but she wasn't there.

10:33AM
'Umm excuse me, Miss Sharp. Where's Kayla?' Parker said hesitantly.

'Oh every Wednesday, she has a session with her counsellor for 30 minutes. Do you need a partner or are you ok for now?'

'No no I'm ok, just wondered that's all.' He walked back to his seat thinking to himself, why does Kayla need a counsellor. I mean everybody has problems but he thought Kayla didn't have a counsellor. Does he even know her that well as he thought he did?

11:00AM
While Parker was playing on the drums, he felt a touch on his shoulder. 'How you getting on without your partner?'

It was Kayla with a huge smile on her face when he looked in her direction.

'It's terrible, but she's here now so it's not that terrible anymore..' Parker replied while Kayla dropped her back pack on the floor.

11:13AM
The two hung out for the remaining of the lesson, wether it was Parker walking over to Kayla's piano area or Kayla walking over to Parker's drum station.

It was a while before the lesson ended, so they both walked to their table and talked about the upcoming exam. More specifically, Kayla letting all her worried out to Parker about the exam.

Parker looked to her and he remembered Ruby's voice saying 'watch your back'. He then positioned himself like he wanted to leave, his heart racing. He feared that if Ruby saw him and Kayla together then Kayla would have to suffer for it. 'I need to go..'

'Hey what's wrong, music hasn't finished yet?' Kayla said looking up at him worried. Parker started heading towards the exit when Kayla pulled his hand towards her, making his body turn.

'Parker what's wrong?' Kayla knew he was hiding something but she didn't know what. 'You can tell me..'

'Oh yea, well why didn't you tell me that you're seeing a counsellor??' Parker had so much anger in him and he let it all out on Kayla.

'What are you on about, that's a stupid little thing so what if I am?' Everyone in the music room had now turned to hear the two arguing at the doors.

'What's the point of this thing we have if we don't even tell each other anything!?'

'This thing. What is wrong with you, I haven't done anything wrong.' Kayla felt like her whole relationship was a lie.

'Right. You never do anything wrong, then how do you explain skipping school with me. That's wrong ain't it?' Parker felt like whenever Kayla got in trouble.. it was because he was always there.

Parker felt like if he just stayed away from Kayla for a bit, Ruby would stop throwing threats around. He ran out of the doors and the slam echoed throughout the room. Everyone stared, especially Scarlett Davidson who was whispering all the gossip to her friend group.
