* First book in the Hidden Series *
There are 2 ways to keep a secret.
One is by covering it all up. Pretending that another idea is the truth. Changing and twisting the original idea to protect yourself, change your identity. One example of this i...

Q U I N N
My eyes flutter open, and I'm welcomed to the sight of Jonah next to me. I get up, but I'm pulled back down. " Ughhhh why are we still on the couch?" I ask. " Because I fell asleep too, idiot," He groans.
" Let me go!" I say, trying to push him off. " Nah," He simply says, holding me tighter. " If you love me, let me goooooo," I quietly sing with laughter. " Well I don't love you, so I'm not gonna let you go," He shrugs.
Jerk.
" So, what's up?" I hear Jason say, as he walks into the room. " Oh..."
Jonah immediately lets go of me. " Ha, I win!" I whisper to him. He rolls his eyes in response. He takes out his phone and starts looking at his emails and stuff.
" So, what we doing today?" Jason asks. " Not every day is a holiday Jason," I mutter. " Well it's a Saturday!!" I hear Valentina shout as she runs down the stairs, the grin on her face unmissable.
I smile as Valentina comes and sits next to me, holding onto my arm. " Well, since you've been working so hard missy, why don't you choose what you wanna do?" I ask, poking her in the shoulder.
I turn and glare at Jonah to make sure he says yes.

" YAYY!! Ivy come with meeee," Valentina screams an hour later, jumping in the ball pit.
Jason let out the true child in him, and followed Valentina and jumped backwards inside the ball pit.
Seeing Jonah in a soft play centre has to be the funniest thing ever. He'd close his eyes every time a child screamed, trying not to let his eardrums burst, and the fact he's sat at a colourful table in his black suit, and behind him even more bright colours is hilarious.
" Why do children enjoy this type of stuff?" He groans. " Oh my god, you are literally a statue! You don't know how to have fun! I can only imagine how boring you must have been as a child!" I exclaim back, putting my hands on my hips.
He looks at the floor. I must have hit a nerve. " Sorry..." I say, while sitting next to him. "You really wanna know how to have fun?" He suddenly smirks.
Well I'm doomed.
He picks me up bridal style and throws me into the ball pit, hitting Jason who was playing with Valentina.
" Well that was entertaining, hitting two birds with one stone," Jonah says. " You calling me heavy?!" I shout back at him. " I never said that," He shrugs. " The stones were those balls and you guys were the birds,"
Don't laugh.
Jason bursts out laughing. " Stones were the balls, friggin hell Jonah, think about what you're saying!"
Jonah rolls his eyes in response."You're such a child,"
A guy comes up to where we are and is cleaning up around that area. " Hey beautiful what's your name?" He smiles at me. "Iv—," " None of your business," Jonah cuts me off.
This guy sends a sly smirk at me and then starts flirting with me, and Jonah looks like he's gonna explode.
I see what he's trying to do...
" So, you wanna hang out tomorrow night?" He asks. " Sure," I smile, playing along, while Jason plays with Valentina before he ruins it and laughs.
" Absolutely not! She won't be hanging out with any random dude!" Jonah growls.
We give up and laugh for a good minute. Whoever this guy is, he totally gets me. Jason turns around and joins us, and Valentina is wandering around the play area now.
" Y...your face!" I giggle, and Jason gives the guy a high five.
I've got to stop calling him 'the guy'
" My name is Lucas," He smiles at us.
Jonah is looking very lost. " He was just trying to wind you up, although I don't know how that made you annoyed," I explain.
" Isn't it obvious now?" He mutters under his breath, but I just manage to catch it.
" Ivyyyyyy why are you staying here come have funnnn!!" Valentina whines while walking back to me.
After an hour more of playing with Valentina, we head back. When we got back, Jason and Jonah were giving each other death glares and I couldn't stop smiling from whatever 'sibling rivalry' they were suffering from.
" ZACH?!" I hear a shout from the kitchen. Then there's a lot of scrambling. And then there's some blonde girl leaving.
Oh.
" I have been scarred," Jason says dramatically, bringing a hand to his forehead to mimic fainting. " Dude you look in the mirror everyday, that must be traumatising enough" Zach smirks back. " Ugh you're so annoying I can't even stand you," Jason shrugs. " Sorry if you're not good enough for this," Zach grins.
These guys.
This goes on for a long time before I realise Jonah is gone and so is Valentina. " Look you're gonna be the prince!" I hear from upstairs.
Oh this ought to be good.
I get my phone ready and tiptoe up the stairs to find Val and Jonah playing with her dolls, Jonah sat cross legged on the pink carpeted floor.
I can't decide whether this is cute or hilarious.
I'm gonna go with hilarious.
I take a picture and then leg it downstairs to interrupt Zach and Jason. " What is it Ivy?! We're having an important conversation," Jason says. " Just look!" I reply.
Zach looks first and literally falls on the floor, and then Jason gets all interested and starts laughing uncontrollably.
Zach and Jason then go up the stairs and I follow them to see what they say. " Too bored with the guns already Jonah?" Zach grins as Jonah's head turns in embarrassment. " Yeah are dolls a nice replacement?" Jason sniggers behind him.
" For the record I think it's cute," I smile, trying to get him out of this extremely awkward situation I put him in. " There's a lot of words you can describe me with, but not cute," Jonah says to me. " I said 'It's cute', not 'you're cute' and for those other words to describe you, I think Mr Moody will do just fine," I laugh back.
" I hate you guys," He replies back.
