Fate's Identity

Chapter 27

The next morning, school came. I woke up to the absence of Liam and the quilt I covered him now around me. Liam must have gone back to his house. I remove the quilt, folding it neatly before setting it down on the couch. I walk up the stairs, slowly. The girls were either awake or sleeping still. I walk into my room and cautiously shut the door behind me. I look at my laptop and bag on top of the table that was below the window, and I walk to it.

As I grab those items to set them down on my bed, my eyes catch a glimpse of Liam from his window. My eyes couldn't stop looking at shirtless body. The heat hit my face as I stare at his pecks and then his abs. His eyes meet mine, and wonder fills his eyes.

After a couple of minutes, I realize that he had caught me staring. I blink my eyes, turning my head away. I slap myself. I shake my head, shivering not in disgust but more in shock.

I walk away to my closet and change into a new outfit. I grab my laptop and my bag off the bed, resisting the urge to look through the window again. I exit the door and trot down the stairs where I meet Camila and Dinah, cooking scramble eggs.

After setting my stuff down by a chair at the table, I grab a box of Rice Krispies and a bowl. I pour the cereal into the bowl halfway and pour the milk approximately the same level. I settle by my bag beside my feet as Dinah and Camila does so too.

"You both did really great last night," Dinah says, interrupting the silence.

"Thanks," Camila and I sat in unison. We both chuckle at one another.

Dinah's eyes shift to me dramatically. "So, Ally, give us the deets," she says, secretly.

I raise an eyebrow. "What deets?" I question.

"About last night between you and Liam," Dinah responds, rubbing her hands together. "Was there any sweet moments? Any touchy deep talk?"

I shake my head in disbelief. Dinah is really shipping Liam and me. "Dinah, nothing happened. We just talk, and then, we went to sleep."

"Mmhm," she replies, sassily. "Right girl. And I had straight A's my entire life. Something juicy must have happened. Tell us."

"Dinah," Camila speaks up, "Ally won't tell you because you are being rude." I smile at Camila, giving me justice. But that was too soon. "Ally will only tell you if you ask politely." She turns to me, intertwining her fingers together, and smiles brightly. "Ally, will you please tell us what happened last night? And why you won't walk about it?"

I groan. "I don't want to talk because there's nothing to talk about," I defended, but they seem to be so skeptical. It was as if they knew that I was lying. Were they there? Listening to our conversation or what? I nod my head, caving in. "Okay, yes, Liam and I did talk. Right before the show, Jade came in and said something to me that made me doubt him, but he cleared that up."

"What did Jade say?!" Camila and Dinah asks in unison.

"She said..." I didn't exactly want to tell them, but they wanted to know, and I can't just bottled it up. I mumble under my breath, hoping they could hear me, "She was Liam's first..."

"Huh?!" They said in unison once more.

I sigh. "She said that she was Liam's first," I said.
