The Secret Keepers

They Seek Him Out

Matthew's POV

It was a Friday. The week had been average, and I made good friends. I was okay with living here. It felt close. Almost like anyone in this town, automatically became your family.

But something was different today. I know something was off, so I don't know why I didn't just stay home like I felt I should. I really should've stayed home.

Maybe then, I wouldn't be so confused. Okay, now you're probably wondering what's he talking about? Well, it all started when I got to my locker that morning.

*Flashback*
"Hey!" Blake greeted happily, just like every day. "Hey."I stated simply in reply. I started opening my lock as Black jabbered on about plans for the weekend.

"Maybe we could all get together and help you with unpacking, or we could go out to eat or mayb-" A note fell from my locker. "Secret Admirer already? Matt, you dog!" He joked playfully. I grinned and rolled my eyes as I picked up the note.

'We're keeping a close eye on you New Guy-S.K. 1' Blake and my eyes' filled with confusion. I could already see him trying to work out who it might be. I saw his eyes widen with shock and slight-dare I say- fear? "What?" I wanted to know.

"S.K. 1, I think I know what it stands for." He said in awe. "Well?" I asked impatiently. "Remember that stupid legend we told you about? The Secret Keepers?" I did a quick nod. What did that have anything to do with the note?

"Well...this may sound crazy, but I think that S.K.1 might stand for Secret Keeper 1." He whispered. It's official. He was insane. "Wha-" I started.

"I'm not crazy!" He exclaimed. "It's not as insane as it sounds! I promise!" I had no idea what to say so I had just stood there with wide eyes at him.

"We have to show this to Jake! He'll help you understand it better. He knows the most about The Secret Keepers in this town probably." Blake states excitedly.

He grabs my arm and drags me of to find Jake somewhere. "Hurry up!" He yells at me, tugging me along.

*End of Flashback*

I think I secretly knew all along that Blake wasn't right in the head. So why was I friends with this guy again? I couldn't tell you.

But as he dragged me along to God knows where, I realized that if you ignored that tiny fact that he was mentally unstable, he was actually an okay guy.

"JAKE!" Blake screamed out, calling Jake to us oh so casually.

Jake approach is looking slightly confused. "I swear I haven't done anything bad this week!" He claimed, defending himself.

"Yah and dog are blu-That's not the point! Look at the this!" Blake hissed, shoving the note into Jake's hand.

He carefully read over the note, looking confused and slowly, you could see shock forming on his face.

"A Secret Keeper?!" He whispered excitedly."Who gave it to you?"

"That's the thing," Blake murmured ,"Matt here found it in his locker."

Jakes eyes widened with surprise. "What the hell did you do?"

Still absolutely and utterly lost I said "Excuse me?"

Blake rolled his eyes. "What he means is, The Secret Keepers have never reached out to anyone like this. You'd have to do something pretty damn big to have gotten them to tell you to watch your back like that."
