Stay

Chapter 2

Getting ready for an event like this is always so difficult. If you dress nice, or as they say "fancy." You most likely won't get anything because they think you're working for 5'O. But then on the other hand if you dress poorly, they will think you have no money to buy anything.

I dressed in what I always do. A sunflower crop top, & my black high waisted jeans.

I began to walk towards the place. Graffiti covered walls, probably one of the best graffiti walls in California.

'Everything is set & ready.' I read my text.

I grabbed my skateboard to get quicker to the garage lot.

"Secret over here" I heard Leslie say.

I walked towards her, and saw that she was with the rest of the guys.

"Guess I'm not the one late this time" Eric said earning a punch in the arm from Maria.

"Same thing from always, right Secret?"
"Yep" I said grabbing the red cup from the young man.

"So we were planning to go skateboarding tomorrow, how does that sound?" Austin said.
"That sounds great." Eric said.
"Unless something comes up" I said.
"We obviously know that Secret" Aaron said laughing.

"So who was that guy from earlier?" Eric & Leslie asked.
"I have no idea, I never seen him around here before, but his face seemed very familiar." I said remembering his appearance.
"You better be careful though, it seemed like he was after you." Austin said coming over & putting his arm around me.
"Nah he's probably curious"
"You never know you got to watch yourself." Eric said staring at Austin's arm around me.

"He might end up showing up here." Maria said.
"I doubt it."

"Everyone to your positions there's an intruder!" I heard someone scream as everyone ran to where they usually do.

This hardly ever happened. Nobody knew what we did here. Unless someone snitched.

I looked over at Maria with a confused face. It was kind of odd that as she said that, there was an intruder.

"Got him!" Someone yelled.
"Secret over here!" Leslie said. I ran towards the place to see two of the guys holding someone.

"He wasn't on the list?" I asked confused.
"No, he tried breaking in." One of the guys said.
"Is that so?" I said asking the boy, who's head was down.

"Who told you of this?" I asked.
"No one..." He said his voice muffled.
"Then why did you come here." I said even more confused.
"Same reason as everyone else." he said not even bothering to look up.

"Whats your name?" I asked trying I get to the bottom of this as quick as possible.
"Obviously not A fake ass name like Secret." He said looking directly Into my eyes, obviously proud of what he said.

I reached into the back of my waistband & reached for the pocket knife. I walked towards him & kneeled down so I was at his same height. I took out the knife & put it against his neck.

"I'm going to ask you one more time, its on you if you don't answer correctly. Got it?" I said as he nodded.

"Whats your name?" I asked, ready to press the knife against his skin, but to my surprise he answered correctly.

"Cameron." He said looking straight into my eyes.

"Cameron what?" I asked raising an eyebrow & putting the pocket knife away.

He sighed & said,
"My full name is Cameron Alexander Dallas"

Thats when it hit me.
