Teenage Diaries

Secrets Revealed

"Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit." I cursed as I managed to shut my alarm off and scramble out of bed. I was fifteen minutes behind time and could hear Ashley's car honk outside my house. I ran into the bathroom, squeezed some toothpaste onto the toothbrush and scrubbed my teeth vigorously and sprinted to the window.

"Give me five minutes!" I managed to yell at Ashley, with toothpaste dripping from my mouth. She said something to Tanya that I couldn't quite hear and didn't bother to.

I spat out the toothpaste, got dressed and darted the stairs two at a time.

"Hey mom, hey dad. Bye mom, bye dad." I gave a quick kiss to both of them, stuffed a croissant in my mouth and headed out, limping as I tried to wear my shoes properly.

"hey" I smiled at Tanya and Ashley who just cursed me for taking too long. Ashley began driving and within minutes we reached school just in time. I opened the school doors and walked towards my locker. As I reached there I found the snog couple staring at me. I raised an eyebrow and searched for my English book inside and slammed the locker shut when I found it. I made my way to English class when I caught some people gazing at me. I realized it was because of the makeover, hugged my books and quickened my pace as I entered English class, which was filled. Wendy was at her desk, filing her nails and surrounded by her clique went she stopped abruptly and ran her eyes over me. I tried not to squirm as she gave me a look of disgust. Well my outfit was decent enough considering I got dressed in less than five minutes. I'd chosen to wear brown ballet flats with skinny jeans and a white t-shirt. On top of it I wore a brown jacket. I'd left my hair loose. I went over to my place just as the English teacher came in, her Barbie perfume encompassing the class.

"So class, today I think I will let you all watch a movie."

The class was filled with cheers and hurrahs.

"but," she smirked. "I choose the movie."

Groans and sighs were heard all around.

"Now, Angela please go to the staffroom and get the DVD of Little Women." She requested me and I headed out. The school was empty now as everyone was in their own classes. I walked at my own pace, in no hurry at all. Then I happened to glance at the soft board that held the Class President Voting sheet. I went over to it and produced a pen from my bag. My non-existent bag. The one in the classroom. I'm such a klutz.

"Here," I heard someone behind me. I turned around and nearly had a heart attack. I found myself staring at Zach's emerald green eyes.

"What, are you some God or something? You always happen to be helping me at the right times. The car ride," then I snatched the pen from his hand in a playful manner, "and this." I finished off, leaving him grinning. He then pointed at the red sheet. "You really should write your name."

"Nah, I'm good. Besides I have places to be right now." A second after I said this I regretted it. It sounded rude! He merely chuckled. "Right, I didn't think of you as the class bunking type."

"Then what type am I, according to you?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Smart, cute and funny type." I swear he moved just an inch near me. I broke eye contact and then took a tiny step back. "Okay, see you later!" I said brightly, too brightly perhaps and walked off towards the staffroom. I could feel my cheeks heating up. Quickly, I grabbed the cursed Little Women DVD from the staffroom and ran back to class, to avoid meeting Zach again.

As the teacher played the movie I stared at an ink stain in my notebook, replaying what happened before this. Hm, was he flirting with me? No, he can't. Then again, he doesn't have a girlfriend currently. But me? Urgh, boys were so confusing! As class got over, I grabbed Ashley's hand and dragged her to the closest washroom. They were right when they said that washrooms were the places where promises were made and broken, and secrets made and revealed. I quickly told her everything, about the dinner the previous night and the pen thing. She stayed quiet and listened attentively, her eyes twinkling occasionally.

"You know what I think?" she put a finger to her chin and continued. "I think that Zach likes you and Jake is just playing with you."

I sighed and turned my head to the door that just opened. And guess who came out.

Wendy.
