The Killer Secret

Chapter 2

I walked into the big red double doors, and from there Nash and Jayden showed me to our room. I stood at the front door of our room and just stared at the inside. They said "Hey, what's wrong?" I cleared my throat, shook my head and said "nothing, I'm fine. Oh this is so scary."
"Why what's so scary?" They asked me. I told myself, "don't let them think you're scared out of your brains because you don't have a mum, your dad is gone and your Aunt just left. "Nothing, don't worry." I said.

All four of us walked into the room. Straight away Jayden and Gabi sat me down and said "okay, the first thing we have to do is let Aria (me) get to know Nash." Jayden said "Oh I actually have something to do right now, sorry Aria but I'll catch up with you guys later." "Okay, we'll see you soon I guess." Gabi replied. I wondered what she was going to do but thought nothing of it.

All three of us sitting in a tiny circle, we were so excited especially Gabi that I was back because she was never really that close with Jayden but when Nash came into the picture, Jayden started to get jealous because Gabi was always hanging around Nash and it was all one big pointless drama, but now that I'm back I feel like we can all be friends and sort out anything that hasn't been sorted yet. I want us to all be bestest friends because these girls are the only things I have in my life that mean everything to me, I will absolutely not allow anyone or anything to break us up.

The first thing Nash said to me was, "How was the drive here?" I told her "The scenery was nice up until we hit the point where it was just land. We got food halfway and then I fell asleep the rest of the way." She laughed, and honestly I laughed to. I asked Nash "Are you excited to be in college?" She said to me with her beautiful big red lips "Oh my goodness of course I am! I'm mainly excited because here, nobody judges you and everyone is like so socially accepting." I replied "Yeah that's true."

We kept talking for ages and then we checked the worn out clock on the bedside table and it said 5:30pm, we had lost track of time and started getting really hungry. Gabi suggested we go to the college cafeteria but Nash and I didn't feel like eating food that we didn't like the taste of. Nash said "Lets go for a drive and look for a nice Italian restaurant?" I replied "Omg yes please, I'm craving Italian food." Gabi said "That's actually a good idea Nash, how did you think of it?" Obviously in a joking tone. We all had a good laugh and then picked up our handbags and walked out.

Last time I saw Gabi's car it was a worn out, grey Mini, but when we walked out of the big, red double doors my jaw dropped to the floor. It was a brand new polished, shiny, black Mercedes. I said to her "Where did you get this car?" She said "My Mum got it for me after the last time I visited you in Panama City." Which explains why I've never seen it before. We all jumped in and drove off.

Around the corner we saw a restaurant that said Italian cuisine on the top, so we said lets go check out their menu. Gabi let Nash and I out to go look at the menu while she parked the car. We walked over to see the menu on the wall, it was black with white writing. It looked promising, but not as promising as the cafe me and Aunt Sarah went to. Gabi walked up to us from behind, we barely heard her footsteps because she is so small and light. She said "So? How does it look?" I replied "Uh it's okay, maybe we should eat here." Nash agreed, so we went inside.

The waitress came up to us and asked "Hi, table for 3?" "Yes, please." I replied. She sat us in the back of the restaurant next to a massive window that showed us one side of the road, a park in the distance and the parking lot for the restaurant. Not very amusing but better than most. Another waitress came to us and said a waiter is coming to take your order.

Two minutes later he comes to our table and I stopped breathing for a second. He was so cute. His name was Seth. In that moment our eyes met but I looked away not even half a second later. He had big, beautiful brown eyes that were sparkling when the sun hit them. He brushed his silky brown hair back with his hand, he tensed his jawline and pulled out his notepad to take down our order. His voice was so manly. He said in a welcoming voice "Hey ladies what can I get you?" Nash said "I'll have the spaghetti bolognese please," "Sure thing," he replied. "Can I please have a Margherita pizza?" "Of course you can," He said smiling a beautiful bright smile. He looked over at me and said "What would you like?" "Um, can I please get a fettuccine pasta?" He looked at me, this time differently and winked at me. "Why, yes you can." I started getting butterflies. He asked what we wanted to drink. I said that I'll go over to the bar and order for all three of us hoping he would be there to serve me. I asked the girls what drinks they wanted. Nash said she wanted a coke and Gabi said she wanted a water. I made my way over to the bar.

In that second I felt my face light up because he came over to serve me. He said to me "Hey pretty face." I looked up at him in such shock and disbelief as to why he said that. "Hey." I said. "Can I please get a coke and two waters?" "Of course you can, but, you have to do something first." I looked over at Nash and Gabi and they're just dying of laughter. I said "Um, okay? What do I have to do?" "Give me a high five." "That's it?" "Yep that's all you have to do, and the drinks are on the house." "Oh no you really don't have to do that," I said. He told me "All you have to do is high five me and you get three free drinks, I don't do this very often." "Um okay, fine."

I gave him a high five. His strong, big, muscly hand grabs mine and he puts a little paper in my hand without anybody noticing. He said "See, was that so hard?" I looked at him confused but I put the paper in my back pocket. I walked back over to our table and sat in my seat "Omg, you're like so in to him." Nash whispered. "Uh no I'm not he's just really cute," and after all of this I'm just now remembering Blake.
