  As I'm heading to lunch, I get a text from my dad.
  Dad: Please take care of your brother tonight. I trust you. Mrs. Nichol will be bringing you home. Do not alarm him. Just tell him that we are spending time with friends.
  Me: Dad, what's going on?
  Dad: Your mom has cancer. It's really bad. She has a low percent of surviving.
  Me: ok. I'll take care of Carson.

Oh dear. My heart couldn't take it. I ran to the bathroom and started crying. I knew I had to go get lunch, so I stood up, looked in the mirror, wiped away the tears, and put on my best smile.
  I didn't eat anything. I didn't speak. I was deep in thought. My friends started to get worried. They tried to get me to talk, but I stayed silent.
                ~~~~Time Skip~~~~
  My brother didn't suspect anything. I had tear stains on my face. I just told him that I missed my horse that was sold. (Btw mrs. Nichol also took us to school)
  When we got to school, I sat down at my desk, and didn't look or talk to anyone. None of the teachers asked questions, because Mrs. Nichol told them what was going on.
  I had to meet my secret admirer this afternoon, and Carson has practice. I noticed in homeroom that Tito was looking at me a lot.
  In 3rd block, it looked like he was going to say something to be, but decided not to. Something strange is going on. I'm glad class is over. Now time for lunch, where I can enjoy peace.
  At lunch, I went to sit by myself, and I noticed that someone was coming over to me.
  "Are you ok?" I heard a familiar voice ask. "Kode said that you haven't said anything to anyone for two days. What's going on?"  "I don't want to talk. It's none of your business," I almost yelled that last part, as I looked up. I was taken aback by who had come over here. It was Tito, and he had shock written on his face. I sighed. "Look, I'm sorry. Usually people aren't in a good mood when they stay up 'till 1 in the morning."  "Why we're you up that late?" he asked with curiosity and concern in his voice. "I have enough on my mind right now. And I really don't want to talk about this. Just....," I sighed again, restraining the tears from falling. "I can tell this is a sore subject for you, so I wont push you to talk, but just know that I'm hear to listen. Ok?" I nodded my head, and got up to go to 4th block.
             ~~~~After School~~~~
  I was waiting outside Mrs. Coile's room for someone to come. I was looking around until- "Ah!!" Someone's hands covered my eyes. "Guess who." I could practically hear the smirk in his words. I heard that smooth, deep voice again. "Guess right, and I'll let you see. Guess wrong, and you won't see until you're right."  "I know it's you, Tito." He chuckles some before removing his hands. I turn around to face him, and my eyes immediately go wide. My face is surely a bright red. He was shirtless. He cleared his throat, which pulled me out of my trance. "So you got my note?"  "Y-yeah. W-what did we n-need to talk about?" Stupid stuttering.






















Almost there



















You're close













Lol. Sorry for doing this, but I'm gonna leave this as a cliffhanger, just for the sheer fun of it.
