SECRETS.

Chapter 2: The Doubts [I]

I woke up with something ringing besides me so loudly and so annoyingly. Crap! I'm late! I drag myself toward the bathroom and have a short and NOT nice shower.

***

I have finally arrived at school. Probs 15 minutes late. Yas! New record. That is the fastest walk i've ever had to school.

I knock on the door. Slowly coming in.

"Sorry i'm late" i groggily said. Make the whole class turn their heads towards me.

"Late again Mr. Danes. What a surprise *coughs* not" my teacher said with a sarcasm in his voice making the class laugh. I make my way to my usual seat.

Trigonometry. Something i hate and also love. Hate because this subject couldn't be more pointless. It's not like you're going to use it when you grow up anyway. I only love this subject because of a person. And if its the right person changes my whole mood in this class. Anastasia Raelynn. My chilhood bestfriend. My mood booster. And also my first crush. Yes, you heard me right. She was my first crush. I know y'all be thinking like "You're such a pussy Sac, you don't even have the guts to tell her that you like her." Well if you are in my position you would know how i feel. It's hard to tell Anastasia that i like her because she's such an amazing girl and i'm afraid if this not going to work, she's going to never talk to me again. Better not take the chances right?

I used to be so close to her until we grew up and i have this attached feelings to her. And because i'm an idiot, i keep my distance with her. Afraid that she'll never look at me the same way if she knows about my secret crush on her. So yeah, i'm kind of a jerk.

My thoughts was interrupted by the bell. I started walking to the cafetaria when a conversation stole my attention.

"You better get your game together Dan!"
A squeaky girl voice said

"You know it's very hard when it comes to her. Anna isn't going to say i love you just like that to a boy she barely knows." That twät! Wait until Anna hear about this.

"You know there's a grand on stake right?"
Before he could answer, i move my feet and it makes a noise.

*crack* SHÎT! They turn their head toward my place trying to find the source of the voice. I ran off hoping they wouldn't notice me.

Music. The most annoying subject i learn at school. It's not that i hate music, i just hate that we have to study which is which and have it written on a test. I am now enterring the class and see that everyone already sit on their seat. And the lesson began.

At the middle of the lesson i saw Mr. Denniz pulling of Anastasia earphone and said something to her. Hesitantly, she is dragging herself toward the stage, picking up the guitar, and started to sing the song that is very familiar to my ear, "A Daydream Away" by All Time Low.

You're just a daydream away, i wouldn't know what to say if i had you. And i'll keep you a daydream away, just watch from the safe place i'll never had to lose

Listening to the lyrics, i feel like i should be the one who sang that song. Like seriously!

***

The lesson has ended. I see Anastasia standing alone in the crowded hallway. I decided to come to her.

"What a lovely song you have there" I said suddenly making her jump because she was shocked.

"Thanks i guess" she nervously answer me. I know her gesture. She always look down and scratching her hand if she's nervous.

"You know, whoever that song was played for, i just want to let you know that he is a VERY blind man to let a girl like you slip off of his hand" i was jealous. I was VERY jealous at the person she sang that to. Here i am standing like a hopelesss man with this infatuation towards her.

"I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you by the way" i wanted so badly to tell her about Daniel. How much a jerk he is wanting to use her for some stupid bet. I openned my mouth, but instead of telling her about the bet, i just simply said,

"You're welcome" with that, i left her with my heart feeling guilty. I lost the chance to tell her. She'll hate me if she knows. Ugh!

***

I was walking home from football practice when i see Daniel going out of the place where Anastasia work. I follow him rather closely. And when i see an alley to my left, i dragged him there.

"WHAT THE FÛCK SAC!" He screamed at me feeling a tas bit pissed.

"What were you doing with Anastasia?" I tried not to yell. Then he smirked at me.

"I just bought an album from the store that she happens to work at"

"You and i both know you didn't go to the store JUST to buy an album" then he laugh. HE IS EFFIN LAUGHING AT ME.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LAUGHING AT??!"

"Well, mr. Boyfriend, although i'm pretty sure i should call you mr. Secret admirer, you're not the only man she can talk to" he smirked AGAIN. Do i need to punch his face or what?

"I know your game Ackwood, you better watch out" with that i did something i wanted to do since the start. I punched his face and leave.
