Secrets Open

Chapter 2

The necklace Octavian wears

I straighten and go back to the locker and finish putting the gym cloths on. as I turn around I hold back a laugh as I see Becca still where she was before, "Still haven't moved Kitty? You're going to need to, class is over. Well History."she still doesn't move, so I roll my eyes and grab the back of her neck tightly leading her out of the locker room. Becca shakes her head her head in my grip, "you can let go." I smirk, "oh really?" I lean in and tease her, " and what makes you think I want to?" she shivers and with a chuckle I let her go, "now don't get behind Kitty or you'll be late for class." I sing out walking ahead of her. 

why am i being so nice? I can't help myself. God, this is so stupid. I shake my head making my face go back into a cold mask. so curious Becca......... you shouldn't be. it's only going to get you hurt.

I make it to the floor and immediately go to the top of the stands, secluding myself from everyone. Becca makes it out and looks around the floor. Looking for me is my guess. she lockers eyes with me and starts jogging up the stairs to me. Great, I was right, she was looking for me. well she found me.

I roll my eyes and look away from her, "hey." she says when she makes it to the top. surprisingly not winded. I sigh when she sits beside me, "why won't you tell me?" she puts her hand lightly over mine. I look down at our hands and narrow my eyes, "because you don't need to know, " I say a growl in my voice, "now take your hand away from mine."

Becca hesitates before taking her hand away. she reaches up and gently moves her finger along the new scars along my neck before jerking her hand back when someone calls out, "hey Becca!" I turn to see another person coming up the stairs. when they make it they're breathing a bit heavy, "hey Becca,  you're here early." they turn to look at me, eyes widening. Guess they didn't realize I was sitting here. they look between Becca and I, "Becca, you know the rebel girl?" I sigh and look coldly at the new person, "first off," I stand up and stalk towards the person. Becca tries to grab my arm but I jerk away, "I'm not a 'girl'" I get in their face, "and second, I don't know you and you don't know me, and third. " I jerk my finger back towards Becca, "she doesn't know me at all. so fuck off." I glare at them for a few more seconds before sitting back down.

Becca clears her throat, "ahem, anyways Octavian-," I jerk my head towards her. How does she know my name? It shouldn't  be in the academies records and I haven't attended any of the classes, "this is Kasey." I turn to look at the new person who is so called 'Kasey'. They're in the same gym cloths as us and seems to be female but I'm not going to assume anything. They have long black hair that goes to their mid-back and green eyes. Their pale complexion brings out their eyes.

I look away and ignore them. But not before I ask, "How did you know my name Kitty? I never told you my name." Becca stutters trying to make an excuse. I turn away and lean my head back against the wall, closing my eyes. Kasey covers the conversation, "anyways, Becca do you think we're going to be running today?" Becca sighs, "probably. Coach L doesn't seem to want to do anything else."

"Ladies! Get down here!" I smirk as I here the voice call out. i look down to see my old friend Lorileli. Becca and Kasey jog down the stairs as ordered. Lorileli looks at me with cold eyes, "ay, you too!" My smirk grows. She doesn't recognize me.

I call down to her, "wow Lollipop! You don't even recognize your own friend?" I put a hand to my chest faking hurt. Lorileli's eyes widen slightly before she smiles, " well well well, Octavian. So you finally decide to come, eh? Come down here and give me a proper hello!" I let out a bark of laughter, "oh you wish! You just can't wait for me to beat you again." I walk down the stairs, a smirk covering my face. Fully aware of the classes eyes on me, "how long was it since the last we spoke? One, no, two years ago? I think it's time to see if you've improved 'coach'." I say mockingly.

A smirk slowly grows her handsome face. (yes women can be handsome. Beautiful, handsome, gorgeous. whatever your compliment is does not matter on gender. men can beautiful and women can be handsome. Open your minds and get some perspective if you disagree with me.) 

"Okay Octopus. Lets see." My smirk stays in place as I make my way down the stairs, playfully glaring at her, "Oh? But what about your poor wittle stwudents?" I say in a baby tone but theirs an underlining of what I said. Lorileli and I can't fight in front of her students. She laughs, "they can just watch." My eyes narrow. She better realize what she's saying. I play it off by being cocky, "oh really? That's nice to know that I'm going to humiliate you in front of your students." Lorileli laughs and grabs my shoulder lightly, "it's good to have you back kiddo." I tsk, "I'm not that young to be called kiddo. I'm just young to you, old lady." I gently shrug her hand off, "and this 'kiddo' is about to beat you." Lorileli shakes her head before lowering her voice, "we can't fight in front of them. But we can race." I shrug but I'm kinda relieved that she indeed, knew that we couldn't, "that might not be as fun but I guess that will do."

She nods, "we're doing forty snakes. Whoever finishes first wins." The students look at us like we're crazy. But what they don't know is that I can do those no problem. Lorileli? Probably, she's pretty strong and I'm sure she's only grown stronger. I nod as the students relax on the court, watching us as we go to opposite sides of court and line up to the stairs. She has one of the students count down, once he says, "go", we both rocket up the stairs with ease. All the students are cheering for their coach but I almost stumble when I hear Becca shout for me, "You got this Octavian!!" I turn quickly and look for her. Once I see her I raise a surprised eyebrow at her before turning quickly back around so I don't trip and fall on my ass.
