Secrets

Chapter 9

(Amanda's POV.)

The first thing when I woke up Monday morning was school. I really didn't want to go back to another 5 painful days of torture. All that homework made my brain hurt.

I dragged myself out of my warm, comfortable bed and into a nice warm shower. The water woke me up, but it also felt good against my skin. For some people, showers are when they clean their hair and body. It's like that for me, but it's also when I think like how I did last night. The events are smeared blurs in my mind.

As soon as I jumped out of the shower, I ran into my room and changed quickly into my red skinny jeans with a white V-neck top and a denim jacket. I brushed my hair back into a pony tail and popped in my contacts. I slipped on my sneakers and ran downstairs for breakfast. I grabbed an apple and headed out side where the bus would pick me up.

It was a slow walk to the bus stop. No one to talk to, no one to listen to. Just... silence. About halfway there, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I jumped back in panic to see who it was, only to find a smiling Sydney staring back a me. I smiled and gave her a hug.

"What's up?" She asked me. I shrugged.

"Nothin' much," I said. "What about you?" I asked. As soon as I said it her phone buzzed in her pocket signaling that she had a text.

"One sec," she said, pulling it from her front pocket. She smiled, typed a few words, then slipped her blue i-phone back into her flower print skinny jeans. I eyed her suspiciously.

"Who was that?" I questioned mischievously. I small blush crept across her cheeks and she smiled.

"No one," she said, twisting her hair around her finger. I gave her a questioning look.

"Just... no one?" I asked. She nodded still smiling. "Are you sure?" I asked. She jumped up and down and started shaking her head "no."

"Okay, okay! It was Niall!" She squealed. We fell into each other's arm as we laughed hysterically.

"Really! How are you two?" I asked as soon as our laughter stopped.

"Amazing! We... well... kissed a couple of times," she sheepishly answered. By now the bus had stopped where we were and we hopped up on the bus, my attention still on Sydney. As we came to our seats, I looked at her and squealed with excitement.

"What do you mean, a couple of times!" I questioned excitedly. She blushed.

"You know..." She said. I smiled.

"Sure I do," I smirked. The bus pulled down the street where my school was. I have lifted and I looked out the window, noticing how many cars there were in the school parking lot.

"We're here," I announced. My eyes were still locked on the parking lot and I noticed a new silver Camaro parked in one of the spots.

My heart skipped a beat. It was Harry's car.

The driver door opened and Harry's head popped up, his curls flying everywhere in the wind. He looked around the lot, searching for something, or someone...

As he looked around his eyes fell on the bus I was riding. What if he sees me? I don't want to talk to him. Not after last night! I felt my heart start to beat faster and faster as I kept thinking about him.

"-mand!" Sydney waved a hand in front of my face. I snapped back into reality and looked at her. I smiled at her and she rolled her eyes. "What are you staring at?" She asked looking around me. I scooted over so I blocked her view of the parking lot. She folded her arms over her chest and raise both eye brows.
