I was taking stuff from my locker when someone grabs me by the shoulder. I turn around to see who it was and to my surprise it was Trina.
Her long black hair was in a ponytail today, and James was right. She did have a haircut because now she had bangs—curtain bangs. And it suits her. She seemed happy- really happy. She's literally bouncing on her feet.
"Hi, Trina!" I say, smiling, too, because if anyone's happy, I am happy too. "What's the good news? Is it about-?" James told me yesterday that she was going to tell her parents. She nods and grins "Everything went swimmingly! They were just mad at me for not telling them and they want to meet him today!" She squeals and I gasp "Trina!" I pull her into a hug. I am so happy for both of them. When I hug her she smells of flowers and it's oddly comforting.
"Have you seen James? I just never got to tell him-" She asks but as if on cue James shows up. "Trina.. why were you ignoring my texts yesterday?" He walks up to her at the same time Trina runs to him attacking him with a hug. He grunts in response the hug coming to him out of the blue. I smile and take a step back for them to have a 'moment'. I'm just an amazing sister like that. "I couldn't reply because my parents took my phone away." Trina says without pulling back.
Then it occurred to me, that Trina is hugging James in the middle of the hallway in school. At first, James stood there frozen not knowing what to do. "So everything's okay?" James murmured into her hair as he slowly wrapped his arms around her too. "Everything's amazing, James" I hear her saying. I make my way out of the hallway giving them their time alone, even though they were in a freaking hallway where half the people are staring at them.
Once I was out of the hallway Kayla came running from behind "Uh.. Sof, why are James and Trina hugging in the middle of the hallway?" . I tell her about the news on how Trina's parents were okay with her dating James and Kayla gasps "Oh my god! I'm so happy for them."
James hated that they had to keep it a secret but he did it for Trina for a whole year. He couldn't call her, or post about her, they couldn't even take pictures of them together. It was driving him crazy. They only met each other in school and they have some secret spot and you know other secret love kind of stuff. They spend time there before school and a little bit after school.
"I was searching for you guys.." Kayla goes on "Where's Aria?" She looks around as if she might be close by "I have no idea." I search along with her as well. Then we spot her. With Cameron. I think Kayla spotted her too because we both just stare at them not sure what to do.
They were just talking and their new friend 'the guy who hit his chin on the pole'- he's stuck in my mind like that at this point I don't even know his name- I think it was Andrew. But eh, what do I know? He was standing next to them tense, as if he wanted to leave but not sure how as Cameron and Aria laughed about something.
