10. secret place

Dylan pov

This friday we had a day off, and then the vacation started. Thomas and I had decided to go to the movie on friday.

today it was wednesday, I wouldn't see Thomas in any class. Maybe I could see him while it was lunchtime.

I had three boring classes before I might got to see Thomas, English, French and PE.

When it was time for lunch I looked if I saw Thomas anywhere.
I saw him sitting at a table, all alone. I walked towards him. "Hey Thomas, would you like to sit with me and my friends?" I asked with a smile. Thomas looked behind me "with them? No thanks, I would rather sit alone"
"I understand, but can I sit with you? Just me?" I asked. Thomas nodded.
After five minutes I was the first one to talk. "I am so excited for the movie friday"
"yeah, me too" he said. Thomas was very quiet, it felt a little weird. "Hey, I noticed you're very quiet..." I said while I moved an inch closer to him. "I am just not used to talk to someone, I am always sitting alone... you know." I felt sorry for him. "You ever skipped a class?" I asked Thomas. He gave me a strange look "no, why would I?" He said. I smiled at him "well, there is a first time for everything" now he looked at me even stranger "w-what...?"
"Come with me, I want to show you something" I said confident.

Dylan wanted to show me something, but I wasn't sure about going with him. It kind of scared me, I'd have to skip a class and I had never done that before.
After a minute or two I decided to go along with him.
"Where are you and that kid going?!" Jace yelled at Dylan. "Why do you wanna know, jealous?" Dylan said back. Jace just rolled his eyes and Dylan told me to follow him.

After 10 minutes we were walking down a street I had never been. "You sure you know this place?" I asked insecure. "Inside out" Dylan said with a smile.
We turned right and then left. "We're here" Dylan said and got a small rusty key out of his pocket. He unlocked a door. "Dylan, where are we?" I asked. He laughed and grabbed my hand. "I'll show you" he pulled me inside a small, old building. "Before I turn on the lights you have to promise me something" Dylan said. I nodded. "Okay, promise me that you won't ever tell this to anyone. And promise that you won't laugh at me?" The last thing Dylan said sounded a little insecure, but I agreed. "I promise" I said with a nod. "Okay, great" Dylan said before he closed the door and the last light had vanished.
It was dark, but soon Dylan turned on the lights.
I stared into the room. "Wow" was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
