Secrets (On Hold)

I So Won That!

Katerina's P.O.V.

We headed over to the field, which is over a hill behind the school.

"Wow, the field is really far from the school." Fran gasped out of breath. She obviously has never been up here.

"You've never been to the field before have you?" Addy asked.

"No, I never needed to, or ever wanted to." Fran said.

"Not even for P.E.? Isn't that like a requirement for graduation?" I asked kind of confused.

"Yes it is, but if you know how to work the school's computer system, there is a lot that no longer seems mandatory." Fran stated with cockiness in her voice.

Me and Addy looked at each other in amazement. Honestly it wasn't that surprising given the technology of this generation. I was more surprised that a 15 year old girl could do it and not get caught.

"Wow, that's pretty impressive. Where did you learn to do that?" I asked.

"My father. He was a cool guy. He used to work as a hacker."

"Well that's not usually on the 'list of things dad's teach kids' but that's still pretty cool."

"Yeah." Fran giggled, "He wasn't like most dads"

"You keep using pass tense words when you talk about him. Do you guys not talk anymore?" I wondered.

"No, he died about two years ago." Fran suddenly looked really sad and I regretted asking.

"I'm so sorry!." I felt bad.

"No it's okay, you didn't know." She tried to reassure me but it wasn't working. She looked up with a happier face. "Besides, it was his fault." Fran continued.

Addy chimed in, " What do you mean?"

Fran seemed to regret her words, but she continued anyways. "It's a really long story, so lets just say he pissed off the wrong people and it backfired."

I could tell she seemed angry so I just left it at that. Besides it really wasn't any of my business and I had just met her.

Finally we made it up the hill to the fields. Up ahead I could see Matt, a good friend of Addy and me. He's the quarterback of the football team and he is hot! He has dirty blonde hair and a very nicely built body. He's average height, about 5'8". And he has the prettiest green eyes. Aside his physical aspect, his personality is just as hot as he is. He is the type of person you'd want as a friend. He's super sweet and always make sure you're having a great day, and if you're not he makes your day better.

"Hey Matty!" I like nicknames, sue me.

"Hey Kat! Hey Addy!" He started jogging up to us.

"What are you girls doing up here?" He noticed Fran. "And who's your friend?"

I looked over and you could tell Fran was terrified of human interaction.

"Oh! This is Francesca. Fran this is Matt." I introduced the two, hoping it would help Fran calmed down. She seemed to loosen up a bit.

I turned back to Matt, "I used my yearbook excuse again."

"So why are you here and not at the cafe?" Matt questioned.

"We got caught..." I looked down almost embarrassed to tell him.

"Wait. The Great Katerina Carlisle, got caught skipping class? Wow! I'm amazed. And I looked up to you!" Matty said in a very mocking tone. I punched his arm.
