The Fashion School

His Secret

After he paid for the food, we were silent. It was late and dark and we should be heading home. We walk together. It was very awkward and silent. The streets are quiet and empty. I don't dare look at his face. I'm scared that I'm going to do something stupid like kissing him or worst telling him how I feel. Finally he said.

"So...."

"Yeah so?"

He leaned towards me with his eyes closed. I am not sure to close my eyes or pucker up my lips so I just stood there looking at the ground. He looks exasperated like he's going to throw up or something. I can't tell that's he is angry or sad because it's a bit dark finally he put his hand on my neck.

"Jennifer...."

And I breathed out, "Alex..."

Then he close his eyes and look down and shook his head. He dropped his hand, feeling his hand slipped away from my neck. I look at him and ask why.

He look away and shook his head.

"Me and Carissa, um, we used to be a couple," He turn back to me, our eyes met.
I didn't know what happened next. I couldn't think but I think I made my ugliest face ever. I was shocked of course and practically angry at him for not telling me. His eyes are still looking at mine.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

He hesitated and I looked away. I can't believe he used to be with the girl I loathe the most.

He's still staring at me. I can feel his stare.

"I didn't want you to think I was like her and all her silly friend... Well I did used to be like her, I was mean to people and.." he trailed off.

I can't look at him but I can tell that he is sad.

Don't look at him, Jenny. Don't you dare. He is a lying asshole.

"Then one day she told me she was pregnant."

This caught my attention. Finally I look at him with big eyes, unbelievable. I can't believe this. I shook my head.

"She was pregnant? Carissa was pregnant?" I asked. "I can't not fu-,"

Before I can finish my sentence he cut me off and said. "No, she wasn't,"

I looked at him, confused as ever.

He is lying, Jennifer. That's what he do.

"Carisse, she had always been an attention seeker. She loves the limelight and the fame school. She loves being adore and wanted. And she loved me. A lot. When we were together I wanted it to be kept a secret. You see, not many people know about this but she wanted everyone to know that I'm hers,"

He look at the ground. "One day, I had an accident. Nothing serious but the person who helped me was the boy that I was always mean to. From that day on I try to not be mean to everyone. I changed, Jennifer. She didn't like it. I was no longer like her but we're still together and I still tolerated her attitude. Then one day told me she was pregnant and I believed her. I can't just leave her like that. I should be responsible so I stayed with her. Turns out, she wasn't. She claimed that she had a pregnancy scare. She thought she was but she wasn't. Personally, I think she lied so that she can have me all by herself. When she told me she was pregnant I can't imagine my life with her forever until the day I die so I was relieved that it was a scare. The next day I broke up with her."
I look at him. "You could have just told me."

He nods and still looking at me. "I know.. I never told anyone about this except for the guy that helped me that is Josh from another school. I never opened up to anyone because it's hard to trust. I know I should've told you.."

I look away. "It's fine. No wonder she hates me. No reason for me to be mad it's your choice to tell me or not."

I shouldn't have been mad. He wasn't my boyfriend or anything but I know that things will change after this.

"I think you're cool, Jennifer. I really like you but I think I need a little bit more time." he shrugged.

I felt rejected. I felt pain and my heart aches. I don't love him but being rejected hurts a lot.

"I need you to know that I really, really do like you Jennifer." He placed his hand on my cheeks. "I just hope that one day-"

I shook my head. I'm tired off all this. Im tired of listening to him. I just want to go back to my own home. Not school, but with my mum and dad.

So I cut him off and look away so that he won't see my stupid tears

"Take me back, it's better if we leave it this way,"

He nods and we went to his car.
