Hearts Burst Into Fire (Dylan O'Brien / completed)

Secrets.

Fri, Sept 28th.

-Hey Michelle I’ve been trying to reach Claire for weeks now, do you know anything? –Nathan asked walking towards Michelle.

-Um… to be honest Nathan I haven’t seen her since she left on tour –she said letting out a sigh.

-Tour? What are you talking about?

-You didn’t know? I think you did…

-No what the fuck? –he asked exalted.

Michelle explained the situation to him as he looked at her with his jaw dropped.

-What about the rest of the summer? She didn’t answer my calls she went out for summer?

-I… this might sound harsh but I think she just didn’t want to see you –Michelle said looking down.

-Because of what happened? –he said mad.

-Maybe… you know how she feels about D—

-Hey Michelle what’s up –he looked down to Nathan- oh hey Nathan –he sarcastically said.

-Hey Dylan –Michelle smiled- and Mary –she looked at Nathan.

-What’s up with you two huh? –Nathan sarcastically said.

-We’re dating isn’t it obvious? –Mary said smiling to Dylan.

-Yeah… -Dylan said looking at Michelle.

-Oh congrats! –she sarcastically smiled.

-Anyway I think I should be going Michelle, we still have that talk pendent –Nathan said leaving.

-What was that all about? –Dylan asked concerned.

-Claire… -Michelle said.

When Michelle said her name Dylan felt a cold shiver down his spine, he hasn’t thought about her since the last time they saw each other, back at the party.

-Right… how is she doing? –he asked.

-She’s fine, she told me touring is amazing and that is an experience that she won’t ever forget –Michelle smiled.

-Who’s Claire? –Mary asked looking at Dylan.

-Claire? –he took a quick break and smiled- she’s… she’s a friend –he said looking at Michelle.

-She’s probably Dylan’s bestfriend to be honest –Michelle said winking at Dylan.

-Probably? She IS my bestfriend, man I do miss her –he said looking away.

-You could call her if you want to—

-No I better wait until she gets back –he smiled and walked away with Mary.

Michelle walked to her class and after it she went to have a coffee with Tyler and Jill.

-So Dylan has a new toy huh? –Michelle reluctantly said.

-She’s not only a toy Michelle she’s a fucking sex machine –Jill said as Tyler remained in silence.

-Seriously? Ew! –Michelle said.

-Yeah I mean it’s good from time to time but since they began to date they’ve been fucking like every single day—

-That’s gross, I bet that’s the only reason they’re dating –Michelle sarcastically said.

-Yeah I know, what’s up with Dylan I mean I know he likes girls and all but that’s not like him at all.

-Hey Tyler, aren’t you going to say anything? –Michelle said looking at him.

-What? –he said coming back from his thoughts.

-About Dylan and Mary –Jill said.

-Oh… I… I think they look good together –he said looking away again.

-Are you ill? Or autumn makes you sad? –Michelle sarcastically said.

-It’s not that…

-What then? –Jill asked.

-Dylan’s been with that girl since he met her, I barely see him now, I should probably talk to him about it—

-Of course you should, we don’t like her –Michelle said.

-Who do you like, Claire? –Tyler sarcastically said.

-What? I didn’t say that –she blushed.

-Buy you agree –Tyler said smiling.

-I… why? –Michelle asked confused.

-You tell me, why do you agree? –Tyler said.

Michelle stopped for a minute and thought “If he’s asking me why it’s because he’s hiding something, but if I tell him anything I will break the trust Claire has in me, I promise her not to tell anyone about her true feelings so I’m not doing it… besides I bet Tyler doesn’t have anything he’s just trying to get the truth with a lie” she took a deep breath as Jill didn’t say a thing and looked at Tyler again.

-I agree because I think they make a cute couple, who doesn’t? C’mon right Jill? –Michelle said smiling.

-Well… I do agree they make a cute couple… -Jill said looking at Tyler.

-I think the same –Tyler said.

He knew Michelle was hiding something too but he couldn’t risk to tell her what he and Dylan been talking about Claire because what if Michelle tells Claire? No he couldn’t let that happen so he rather be silent about it.
