Behind The Secrets

Chapter 2

"Zianna!" I heard someone called my name but I refuse to look back. "Zianna stop!" I walk faster as the voice is getting closer. I recognize that voice. Her sweet lovely voice. I know it's her. "Zianna please, stop" I felt a hand grabbing my shoulder, stopping me from walking. I took a deep breath and look at her straight in the eye.

"What do you want?" I can see she's catching her breath.

"Why didn't you came to school last week?" I can't tell wether she's worried, happy or sad that I didn't came to school. "Ana answer me. I know it's my fault that summer but can you just forget about it?"

"Forget about it?" Oh Ezra. You are such a fool. I feel like slapping her for saying that.

"I was humiliated infront of the whole school and you can still tell me to 'just forget about it'? Who do you think you are?" Now I'm getting mad.

"I'm your best friend"

"Used to be my best friend" I shrugged my shoulder and walk away. She don't desreve to be treated nice. She's the reason why am being like this. She lied to me. A traitor. Best friends don't stab each other's back. She did it for her own good. Sorry Ezra, but I won't accept your fake appology. I quickly walk out of the school compound. I didn't call my dad to pick me up. I took a cab back home.

People says she's beautiful

But when she looks in the mirror

She sees an ugly part of herself

Looking back at her

Her dad told her

She's a princess

But she feels like a servant

Who's always in distress

Her mom told her she love her

But she saw that fake smile

That'll always make her cry

Everyone she knows

Lied to her

So she wish to dissapear forever

"Ana help your brothers with their homework, please. Don't just lock yourself up there!" I heard mom shouting from downstairs. I am so lazy to help my brothers. They won't even pay attention to me, so why sholud I bother helping them?

"Zianna Albourne, come down this right instant!"

"Coming mom!" I shut my book, clean my table a little bit and walk out of my room. I really hate it when someone disturb my writting time. I have my own schedule too you know. I have two brothers, twin actually, Zack and Zayn. We're the Z family. I'm the eldest and I'm seventeen. My brothers are fifteen but both of them act like they're just ten. I think it runs in the family because my dad is half a century but act like he's just thirthy. Oh well. After finish helping my brothers, I planned on going out.

"Mom I'm going to the park" I put on a t-shirt, my favourite Nike sneakers, bought my iPod and walk out. It's just five. Still early to have dinner.

Walking along the sidewalk is very relaxing. Kids running around, playing kites, playing tag and other kids games. I miss my time being a kid. No worries, no nothing. If only mankind could build a thing called the 'Time Machine", I'll use all my savings just to buy that. Surely I can make that one unforgettable day during summer dissapear.

So as I was walking, a little boy ran across me. I almost fell but I stablized myself quickly. He almost fell too but luckily I caught him. The little boy was holding an ice-cream so it kind if splatter on the ground. He said sorry and run away. I felt guilty so I bought that little boy a new ice-cream.

I walk closer as I see him running around near the bushes. "Hey there" the boy turned around. He look at me wierdly. I just smile and give him the ice-cream. I mumbled sorry but I don't think he heard me. He said thanks and hugged me. My body froze immediately. That was unexpected. He wave goodbye and hop away merrily. It has been a while since someone hugged me. All I can do is smile.

She's so nice. They can't have lied can they? All those rumors about her. Should I believe them? No, I can't. I need to investigate her myself. Look at her. She look so pretty when she smiles. Oh Zianna Albourne, I am so going to get to know you. I will help you proof them wrong. I will find the truth. That's my will. You are under my sight.
