Secret lover

hate

We always knew each other's secrets, but we weren't close. we didn't even got along to be honest. he hated me and i despised him.

It's my 17th birthday. i never liked birthdays. birthdays are just one day of everyone pretending to like you when the day before they barely even knew you existed.

My name is Kiara, but everyone calls me Kee.

"Kiara wake up!! you're late again!!" i heard my mom screaming like this day couldn't get any worse than it already is.

My face was buried in my pillow as i refused to get out of bed and face all of the hypocrisy of the kids at school. but at least i got Mia, my best friend.

She is the only person i can really trust and rely on when i'm at my lowest.

I flinched as i heard my phone ringing, i sighed in exhaustion and grabbed my phone. fuck. i forgot that mia is supposed to pick me up.

I groaned in frustration as i realised that i didn't even wash my face or brushed my teeth yet.

I answered the phone and immediately regretted it when i was met with mia's birthday song for me. guess i got a little more spare time for this.

"happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to kee, happy birthday to kee!" mia sang through the phone as i began getting ready.

"thanks for the birthday song, you just saved my shitty morning." i admitted as i sighed in tiredness.

"i'll be at your house in 5. you better be ready by the time i'll arrive." mia said and without even letting me say a word she hung up.

I went downstairs after i threw on my school uniform and looked for my favourite sneakers. where the hell are they?!

"Kiara come eat your breakfast!" my mom called me,in italian. she probably forgot my birthday, like always.

Then my father came and offered to take me to school. "my birthday girl deserves a birthday ride to school isn't she?"  He said as he brought my favourite sneakers.

i giggled as he gave me my shoes and i took them. at least he remembered my birthday and lightened up my mood unlike my mother.

"thanks dad but Mia is already taking me to school. oh and i am not hungry." i said to my mother and father and rushed out the house towards mia's car.

"what took you so long?!" Mia asked. "tonight's going to be crazy!" Mia said sounding way more excited than she should be.

"relax, i don't even know if i'll make it to the party." i said and sighed. i was obviously not in the mood for any birthday party.

We were about to drive away but we were stopped as Jacob's motorcycle blocked our way.

Jacob smirked as he said "happy birthday princess." and drove away.

"ugh, i hate that asshole." i said while Mia laughed and drove off to school.

When we arrived at school, Kylie, Julia and Jennie waited at the entrance. "here's our birthday girl!!" julia screamed as jennie was holding a small camera, filming me. man i hate being filmed.

As i asked Jennie her to put the camera down, Kylie gave me a cute present wrapped in pink.

I smiled at her and thanked her for the present. i opened the present and i was met with a bunch of sweets and some of our shared photos.

I went through my first period and it almost lunchtime already. ugh, this day is so boring. i thought to myself.

As the class ended, something caught my attention. everyone's attention, actually. Jacob was beating the hell out of Matheo, the most wanted guy at school. I gasped, i was a little bit scared of the look Jacob had in his eyes. he looked almost psychotic.

The principal came and immediately separated the two. "happy that your girlfriend's watching?" matheo said to jacob with a smirk.
what did that even mean?

Then the principal screamed at jacob "isn't it enough that you're already failing all of your classes? you want to start getting in trouble by using violence now?!"

Jacob looked at me with deadly eyes, and i could see his expression softening a little bit from seeing me. "sorry, sir." Jacob said as he was struggling to maintain control over his actions.

School is over and mia ditched me so now i found myself standing outside the school building without a ride home.

"hey birthday princess, need a ride?" i heard.
it was Jacob whispering to my ear.

I turned my head back to look at him and immediately shook my head in denial.

"from you? believe it or not i rather walk home." i said and crossed my arms over my chest while rolling my eyes.

Jacob laughed in response and held his helmet as he walked towards his motorcycle.

"i have a spare one if your'e scared." he said as he sat on his motorcycle and showed me another helmet that he had.

"I don't want to bother you." i said and rolled my eyes.

jacob chuckled and said "we are living in front of each other anyway."

i looked around the place and realised that i had no other way to get home. i walked towards his motorcycle and sat down behind him.

"i'm not scared." i said and kept a firm expression on my face while i grabbed the spare helmet.

"the ride might be a little bumpy so i suggest you'll hold on tight." Jacob said and i refused to hold onto him in any kind of way.

"i'm good." i said and not even a second later Jacob started driving and stopped suddenly which caused my hands to grip onto his arms tightly for support.

"you did it on purpose didn't you!" i asked him in an angry tone. it annoyed me but damn i didn't know he had such big muscular arms.

"maybe." Jacob said and chuckled as he started driving.

we finally got home and it wasn't as bad as i imagined it to be.

i got off the motorcycle and took off the helmet and gave it to him.

"you can keep it if you want." Jacob said and i stared at him in confusion.

"but i don't have a motorcycle." i answered as it was obvious that i had no reason to keep the helmet.

"yeah but i have one." he said with no expression and without letting me say another word he drove off to his house that was in front of mine.

and i was left standing there speechless with his helmet in my hand. But then i remembered that my birthday party is in a few hours. Ugh fuck my life.
