Hidden Dimples

❀ Chapter 16: Getting Caught

I'd like to address a few things before I start this chapter.

First off, thank you guys for your comments and votes, it means a lot to me even if it's not a lot. And I was actually away for the weekend plus Monday because we went back to my mom's hometown to visit family and it was actually around the countrysides. Basically I had no wifi for three days but I managed to sneak an update when I found connection. Yeah.. Don't tell my mom.

When we drove back it was around 1 a.m. And i had tons of notifications but the ones on Wattpad made me smile like a crazy cat lady at 1 in the morning. Thank you lovely readers so much.

Now, on with the chapter.

❣Celestine's POV ❣

Letting out a breath I smiled at the pictures I had taken. It's now printed and ready for the magazine. I took different angles of models on the stage, showing the clothing line my mother made.

I placed them in an envelop and walked downstairs, passing it to my mother as she smiled and took it from me.

We left Hawaii yesterday with a big smile. Honestly, it took my mind off everything that happened in school. Christian was at the airport smiling sadly. We've known each other for only 2 days but you can tell if someone was genuine or not, and Christian, well, he is.

After unpacking, I quickly went to develop my pictures in a dark room and here I am. I'm starting school tomorrow, it's bitter sweet, considering I miss staying at home and being lazy but I want to meet my friends again.

"These are wonderful." My mother smiled lightly.

"Thanks." I told her and went upstairs.

I swear, going to Hawaii is like my mom trying to indirectly fatten me up. I ate so much recently it's not even funny. I decided to go on a run to burn off the extra weight. I'm not exactly fat, I just need a few calories to loose.

As usual, I threw my hair up into a ponytail and changing into sports attire, I grabbed my iPod and headed out.

After a few rounds I started to walk at a normal pace. Running wears your energy, no doubt. I walked to a small alleyway, it wasn't trashy like those creepy ones, it's like small but cozy, somehow.

Small patches of green grass grew on the floor, flower pots were placed here and there with bright yellow flowers growing. The creamy walls of the back of houses made up the walls of the alleyway.

At the end of the alleyway led to a fenced area. It was a small field guarded with wooden fences. I climbed and sat on the fences, enjoying the view. The field was dotted with light purple flowers as the grass swayed to the direction of the breeze. The sun was setting and it was just peaceful.

Peace.

One thing I never thought I wouldn't find.

"You're back!" I hear a familiar shriek as I was being tackled to the floor with Jessyn and Jackson piled on me.

"Hey guys." I strained as I found hard to breath with elephants on me. I'm finally back at school, currently getting books from my locker when I got tackled.

"We've missed you!" They yelled and soon, I was the joined by Griffin.

"I've only been gone for 5 days give or take." I chuckled.

"5 days too long, kid." Griffin ruffled my hair and pulled me into a hug. "I missed your pranks." He told me secretly, blowing air into my ear which made me giggle.
