Secret Identity

Hell Breaks Loose (Chapter 8)

This was it. The secret would be out, and I would get kicked out and sent back to New York with my parents.

"Whoa!! Elouis! You're Daron?" Alex said in shock.

I quickly covered his mouth and pulled him into the room. If the whole entire fifth floor found out THEN I'd be deep fried.

"Listen to me Alex, I got reasons why I'm disguised as a boy. Please! You can't tell anyone, not even a soul about this! You got that?" I whispered closely to him.

"Yeah, yeah! Not a word. Wow this is so weird dude! You were always here the whole time. I knew your eyes seemed familiar!" Alex said chuckling.

This guy was just so easy to persuade. Thank goodness he would keep the secret. Now it was Isaac, Susan, and Alex who knew my identity. I kept messing up. I led Alex towards the door and told him again to not say a word. He agreed and left. I guess he forgot what he was intending to say before. I wonder what it was.

I went back to bed. My thoughts brought me back to what that Beatriz girl had told me. I hope it wasn't true because I felt like I was really falling for Isaac and the last thing I needed was him to break my heart. I hear the door opening and it was Isaac, I quickly shut my eyes to act like I was asleep. I didn't feel like talking to him.

"I know your'e awake." he said staring at me with a bag in his hands.

Damn it. How does he always know everything?

"Where were you?" I asked flipping to my side on the bed.

"Out." he said setting the bag on his night stand.

"Out where? I asked again.

"Why do you want to know so bad?" he replied in a cold way.

"Well excuse me for getting curious that you weren't here at this hour. I hope you know it's like 11:00pm." I shot back rapidly.

"You're not my wife. I can go and do whatever I please." he started getting loud.

I looked at him in disbelief. I gasped and I wanted to say more. I wanted to shoot out the words and tell him what Beatriz told me. Only one thing was holding me back. I didn't want to know if it was true or all fake. I don't know what I'd do if it was all true. I turned off my lamp and silently pulled the covers over my head. Wanting to just block Isaac's presence from my mind.

*****

I was in class when I heard my name being called out to the office. As I approach the office, I see a manager like man on a desk. It was the guy I saw at the beginning of me being here.

"Please take a seat" he gestured his hand over to his leather chairs.

I was a little surprised to why I was getting called to the office. He looked through some papers, when he finally took out something that looked like a scholarship.

"This scholarship says Daron Marriot is eligible to register 5 years from now." he said.

I don't know if I should either run away and hide, or tell him the truth. How could I be so stupid? I remember back in July when I received this scholarship I was so happy at where it said "accepted" but I didn't check the bottom where it said the eligible date and my brothers name. Stupid, stupid, stupid. What was I going to tell this man? That I skipped from 8th grade all the way to college? No wonder that old lady was suspicious of me, though she didn't know the eligible date that was imprinted at the bottom of the paper.

"Excuse me, are you listening to me?" he continued.

"Uh..sorry I have to go back to class, we were taking a test." I said too quickly.
