Secrets Lead To Accidents

7 | h e a r

Kill me now! I'm so sorry for the delay last chapter. And so so so SO sorry for this delay as well! At least I posted! What rhymes with seven? Oh... And some guy from Romania will be arriving... The picture is Lukas. Isn't he just... Yaaas? Yeah, yeah, I'm rambling now... Okay, um... Oh-right, both EBSHI and EGAES kids have blended accents which strengthen over the summer and weaken during the year. Love you guys here's the update! READ!

EDIT 9.5.16
SHUT UP MAYA

"SHUT UP MAX!!!"

"Abigail!" Maxwell whispered. "That was loud! Quiet down!"

She covered her mouth in shock. "Oh my god. Oh my god what did I do? Someone must've heard me. Oh my god Max!"

"Whoa, whoa calm down Abbie. People are probably still in the Hall, or on a tour." He soothed her.

"Nope! I can HEAR you!" A muffled voice said. It was male.

"Oh my god, oh my god, Max someone heard us! Who do you think it was?" She whispered, terrified. She was hyperventilating.

"I can still hear you!" The boy said teasingly.

"Lukas, shut up. You're making my friend have a panic attack." Maxwell said, sighing.

"Sorry. Who's your 'friend?'" He asked suggestively.

"She's Abigail. We were friends before we left for EBSHI and EGAES. No, she's not my 'friend' friend. She is just my friend. Bloody idiot." He replied, annoyed, and mumbling the last part.

"Really mate? I can HEAR you. We've been through this." Lukas said with annoyance in his voice as well.

"Oh, shut it. One moment. Gail, how do we get into Lukas's room? It's the one on the other side of this wall, I think." Maxwell asked.

"Oh, uh-I know! This way." She said excitedly.

Moments later, they walked out of the closet and into the room of a very startled Lukas.

"Whoa, mate. How'd you do that?" He asked, bewildered.

"You want to know?" Abigail asked.

"Um-yes? That's why I asked." He said.

"Okay, here, come closer, it's a secret. Closer, closer-"

"Ew! She. Spat. In. My. EAR!!!" he shouted in disgust. "Bloody hell!"

"LANGUAGE, Lukas!" Maxwell yelled over him, though Abigail could make out what he was saying.

"I just met you! I'm not telling you my secret! Max was right! You are a bloody idiot." She protested.

"HEY! I got into EBSHI! I am anything BUT a bloody idiot!" He said, offended.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Who are you anyway?" She asked, confused.

"I'm Lukas. Duh." He said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"I know that. I mean stuff like country, age, and last name." She responded, irritated.

"Oh. Right. Well, my name is Lukas Hardy, I'm turning 14 in a week, and I'm from France." He said dully.

"See? You could've said that the first time and we'd be done with it." Abigail was getting fed up with Lukas.

"Ohhh feisty! No wonder you like her, Max!"

Maxwell looked at Abigail and gasped sarcastically. "He is an idiot!!!"

"Oh shut it." He said grumpily. "Am not."

"Well, you see, some people, like Maxie over here, are geniuses sometimes, and idiots the rest of the time. You also seem to fit into that category." Abigail reasoned.

"Maxie, huh? And he was right when he was yelling at you. You are rude!" Lukas replied.

"Oh shut up!" Maxwell said.

"Am not!' Abigail yelled.

"Max. Why are you friends with this weird jerk?" Abigail asked with true curiosity.

"My god, I am right here! If you're going to call me names, at least have the decency to do it behind my back, don't just insult me to my bloody face!" Lukas yelled in exasperation.

"Sorry, Luke," Abigail mumbled.

"Thank you. And have I earned myself a nickname? Wow, fast friends!" Lukas said happily.

"Shut it Garbanzo." Abigail snapped.

"Garbanzo? Wha-?"

"Don't question my judgement. And I don't know, it just came out." She replied, confused.

"Okay then. Um... Max, do you know when the curfew is?" He said, changing the subject.

"No. Abigail?" Maxwell asked.

"9:30. They trust us at EGAES. They don't check for rule breakers, we know the consequences of less sleep. And we are allowed to sleep in others' rooms." She explained.

"Cool. Luke, you want to come with us? Abbie can introduce us to some of her friends, and we can introduce ours." Maxwell asked Lukas.

"Oh, maybe not now. Why don't you show me your friends?" Abigail responded quickly, discomfort hidden in her tone.

"Alright." Maxwell agreed, frowning.

"What happened? Why not?" Lukas asked like the idiot he is.

"That is a story for another day, Lukas," Abigail said, her voice threatening.

"Whatever..." Lukas muttered. "Anyways, who would we introduce to her first? Malic or Beri?" Lukas asked Maxwell.

"Malic. Beri would probably creep her out." He replied.

Why would 'Beri' creep me out? She asked herself. "Who are 'Malic and Beri'?" She asked.

"Malic is Malcolm and he's from England. Beri is Tiberiu and he's from Romania." Maxwell explained.

"Oh. Sure! I'd love to meet Malcolm and Tiberiu! Though why would Tiberiu creep me out?" She asked.

"He's not exactly a people person." Lukas clarified.

"Yeah, I'll meet Malcolm first. Where is he?"

"Probably in the hall, drooling over some girl," Lukas replied.

"I hope it isn't Scarlett who he likes..." Abigail mumbled.

"Why not?" Lukas asked.

"Because she's an ice-cold drama queen-slash-jerk." Abigail calmly stated.

"Wow. Okay. Not much love lost between you two then?" Lukas said, surprised.

"Nope. Now let's meet Malic!" She said, skipping out of the room.

"Bloody bipolar, I swear..." Lukas mumbled, following her.

Maxwell just chuckled, then ran out of the room.

"Wait guys! I don't know the way to the hall from here!"
