The Secret Life Of Alaina Wild

Chapter Two

A/N So sorry for late update, forgot I was updating tonight so may be rushed but disney helped me through it;)

I could feel myself relaxing as I continued to speak, when I was Radio Wild, I was a different person, as Brody would say my alter-ego, but I knew I was only this confident due to the fact I was hiding my identity, honestly, I was frightened if anyone would find out my identity because then I’d be Alaina no longer Radio Wild.

Once I left to go home, I felt my whole body change, from confident to totally conscious of people, I knew it wasn’t ‘unusual’ for me to leave Radio Whizz, due to the fact it was my dad’s company, but I always felt as though somebody was watching, watching and waiting for me; Radio Wild to show herself. Paranoia, I know but it was just a feeling at the back of my brain.

As dad and I drove home, I heard Brody speaking on the radio, it was his slot and he always rocked it! Some of the things I just laughed at, he knew how to talk rubbish but he was brilliant at it anyhow, somehow he got the listeners, but so did I. I got my listeners via the truth and well…relating to people but Brody he got his by being…well, Brody, by being cocky, flirtatious and most definitely confident.

Pulling into the driveway, I could see another car parked in my driveway, a car I didn’t recognise; not at all. I looked at my hair in the mirror, it didn’t look like it had been cut but then my hair hadn’t changed for years. I liked routine, I wasn’t keen on change.

I entered my house and I could hear two voices, I mentally groaned as I recognised the other one…Amy! What was she doing here? I didn’t even realise she remembered where I lived; she hadn’t been here since we were about nine!! I hesitated running upstairs, locking myself in my room and to vow never to come back down. But I took a deep breath before entering the kitchen, making sure to have a surprise face.

“Amy! What are you doing here?” I asked, throwing on a grin although inside I was dying, I hated attention and I knew Amy wasn’t here for a ‘chat’ with my mum.

“I thought you were looking after your sister so I brought some DVDs, so we could hang out” Amy smiled, pointing at the pile of DVD’s to her side.

“I can explain…” I stuttered, although I knew I couldn’t; I couldn’t explain the truth anyway.

“Don’t worry your mom filled me in” Amy confirmed, shrugging as if it was okay. I glanced at mom, pretending I knew what she was talking about.

“You went to the hairdressers?” Amy laughed, I joined in, my heart returning to its usual pace, when Amy looked away I mouthed to my mom a ‘thank-you’.

“Anyway, now you’re home, why don’t you hang out?” Mom asked, I wanted to protest; I wanted to throw my hands in the air and scream, it wasn’t that I didn’t like Amy, I just preferred to be alone, being alone was better because then no-one finds out the real you.

“That’s a great idea; we could go to the mall?” Amy suggested, I smiled, agreeing. Saying I had to go and quickly get my jacket. By the time I was by Amy’s car, I realised I could do this, we would only go for half an hour, no-one would recognise me…no-one knows…no-one cares.

“Your hair doesn’t look any different” Amy sparked up conversation, pulling me out of my previous day dream.

“I just had a trim” I replied, we then feel into an eerily awkward silence, none of us making any sign to speak to each other. I looked out the window whilst Amy kept her eyes on the road.

“I hope you don’t mind, but the girls are going to be there, they asked me to come so I thought you might like to come” Amy said sweetly, she was so oblivious she had no idea how much I hated them, but I wouldn’t let her know; I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. I nodded, not saying a word.
