Locked Away --- A #keethan Fanfiction

Chapter One

*Keila's POV*

"You know what rhymes with sloth...?" I heard someone say behind me.

I smiled to myself. It could only be one person. "Rape," I grinned.

"Good guess," he whispered, as he stood on his tip-toes to kiss me. When we broke apart, he swept the hair out of his eyes. "Wanna go grab lunch? We'll have time before next period," he said with a crooked smile.

I nervously twirled the ring on my finger. "I... can't." I muttered and bowed my head down.

I caught him off guard. "Why not?"

"I have... studying to do. See you eighth period."

I turned arround and rushed to my locker. I entered the combination, and checked myself in the silver reflection.

Blotchy face, bags under eyes, and messy hair.

I looked like a wreck.

I hadn't got much sleep those last few days. So much stress. And it wasn't helping that Maddy and Jehanna would keep reminding me...

"Hey, you going to Hayden's Sweet 16 party tonight?" Maddy had ran up to me and smiled.

"Yeah, you like, really should go. Why miss it?" Jehanna rambled.

I shrugged. "I don't really know if-"

I was inturupted by Maddy punching me in the arm. "Of COURSE it's a good idea, stupid," she said, shaking her head.

"Yep. It'll be a blast," Jehanna exclaimed, flipping her hair dramitcaly.

"Yeah, sure, wonderful..." I muttered and closed my locker shut. "I really got to get to class, guys."

"Well, we'll be there to pick you up at eight!" smiled Maddy as she grabbed Jehanna's arm. "Come on, we get new seats in science today. I bet I'll get partnered up with Slushie!"

I rolled my eyes. Slushie was a code word us three had been using for ages about the guy Maddy liked. It drived me crazy. Why couldn't they use the real word. And "Slushie" wasn't even hot. Whatever.

I was interupted from my thoughts as I was grabbed from behind by my waist. "You going tonight? Because it sure would be a shame if you weren't..." a deep voice whispered in my ear. "Because I have something planned for us. It is my birthday, after all."

And just as soon as he came, he left.

I shivered. Hayden.
