The Secret 2- Part 17

I saw Austin at the end of the corridor. I stopped walking as we both stared at each other. I looked away and turned around. I walked off and as I disappeared from Austin's view he managed to run up to me and shout my name. I recognised his voice and didn't turn around. I carried on walking until I felt someone grab my arm. I turned around and it was Austin. He was covered in bruises and almost all his face was swollen.

'Austin, I may be easy to fool but I'm not stupid.'

'Maria, I'm sorry. It wasn't me! It was my friends. They shouted your name and Seb threw a cream pie on your face.' He said.

'And you expect me to believe that? I heard YOUR voice, Austin. I know what I heard.'

'Maria!!' He yelled.
