Cryptic Secrets

Chapter Two

        Chapter two

All day in class, Cedric passed me love notes asking if I was coming over after school. After about an hour of notes, I started to get really agitated.

Finally, I walked over to him and answered all his questions with a snap,"NO! I will not be coming over just leave me alone. JERK!!!" I couldn't believe the words that came out of my mouth. I was in utter shock and so was Cedric.

"I just need some space." I tried to be more sincere as I spoke. He just sat there staring at me like I was a black sheep. Feeling horrible, I walked back to my seat waiting for the bell to ring. At last the bell rang, I rushed out the door to my golden car.

   I pulled up to the Junior High School to see John and Naomi waiting together. They both hopped into the car with big smiles on their faces.

"Does Natalie know you are riding with John and I?" I asked curiously.

  "Natalie said she doesn't care," Naomi said with confidence. John didn't have practice, so we went straight to Natalie's. The entire ride there John and Naomi kept whispering back and forth to each other.

When we finally arrived at their house, John and Naomi jumped out the car and into the house. Natalie and I were in her room studying while Naomi and John were in Naomi's room studying. After we finished our homework, we went to check on them. They had finished their homework and were playing with each other, giggling, and listening to music. For some reason, they looked good together as a .....couple.

After we got home, I asked John, "Are you and Naomi together because if you were I would be extremely upset with you."

   "VERONICA!!!! Why would you think that?!!!???" John screamed back at me. John has yelled at me before, but never has he ever made me cry. I rushed to my room, but by the time I got there everything was blurry from my tears. Even though I was 18 and he was 15, he still scared me to death at anytime he could snap. I eventually went to sleep around 11:21 a.m.
