His Hidden Little Secrets

December 6th- 3 Months Before Death of Carter

BEEP BEEP BEEP

My alarm clock screamed at the top of it's lungs and I threw one of my pillow across the room.

Screw my life. I thought. Mondays suck.

I hit the off button on that freaking stupid clock and rolled over in bed. Wake me up when it's Saturday.

Then I realized something. Today was Monday, and I could finally see Carter again after a long weekend without him.

I grabbed my phone off of my phone and pressed the power on button. My phone buzzed as the screen lit up.

Good morning, my beautiful girlfriend :), read a text from Carter. My heart soared.

Good morning, my amazing boyfriend(:, I texted him back. God, he truly was amazing.

He replied within seconds. Saige I miss you so much, I can't wait to see you at school!!! If you miss first hour again I will DIE because I need to see that gorgeous face of yours NOW!

I blushed and shook my head, grinning like crazy. I turned off my phone and decided to just talk to him at school. And potentially kiss him. Like crazy.

I drove myself to school and ran through the doors when I saw Carter. He turned his head towards me, and his beautiful blue-green eyes lit up and he smiled a gigantic dimpled smile when saw my face.

This is how you know that someone is in love with you; when someones face brightens up when they see you as much as Carter's face whenever he sees me.

I practically skipped up to him and I wrapped my arms around his neck, running my fingers through his long, light brown, wavy hair. He slid his hands around my waist and held me tightly, and I didn't want him to let go.

"Oh my gosh, you guys," said my best friend Kristen as she totally 3rd-wheeled us. "That is way too much PDA for just not seeing each other over the weekend."

I let go of Carter and he kissed my forehead, and I laughed at her disgust. "Yeah, well, Carter was at his cabin for the weekend, where there's NO CELL SERVICE! I couldn't even TEXT him for TWO WHOLE DAYS!"

"TWO WHOLE DAYS! Oh my..." Kristen rolled her eyes as she mocked me. "Get a life outside of your relationship, you two."

I ignored her comment and faced Carter as she walked away from us. "Hello, my love," he said to me in his deep voice, and I melted.

"Hey, Babe," I said. "Okay, yeah, Kristen is totally right. All of this PDA is way to cheesy."

His broad shoulders shook lightly as he laughed a warm laugh. "I definitely agree."

"Loser," I teased him, smirking at him.

"Wait," he stopped me. "I don't want to be like that just yet."

"Be like what?"

"Just don't act like a peasant yet. First, be my princess and kiss me."

Carter Dalton always had a way with words, but I never did tell him that.

He leaned down and his lips brushed against mine, and he placed his warm hands on my cold cheeks. His breath tasted like a cool mint, and he softly ran his tongue across my lips to savor the watermelon flavored lip balm that I applied minutes earlier.

I almost whimpered as our lips separated, but I knew that school wasn't a good place to make-out.

"You're delicious," Carter said, winking at me, and I slapped his arm.

"And you're gross," I said, giving him a fake disgusted look.

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he said, throwing his hands in the air. "I'll stop now."

"Just act my best friend at school, okay? Not my lover," I told him.

"I know, Saige," he looked down at the ground and then back up at me again, smirking. "I just couldn't help myself. You're just so beautiful... And I..."

"Come on, Weirdo," I giggled, brushing my blond hair away from my eyes. "We're gonna be late to homeroom."
