The Hidden Truth

The guy

The school day passed slowly, as usual. Just ten more minutes and I could meet up with Zane and Aqua since this is the last class of the day. Our teacher, Mrs. Smith, instructed us to put the textbooks away but to keep quiet until we can leave.

I looked down at my phone to see if Zane or Aqua had texted me. They haven't. I texted Zane to see if anything new has happened. I was about to text Aqua when the classroom door opened and a guy walked into the class.

He was dressed in all black and looked like he was in his twenties, maybe older but it was clear that he didn't go to school here. I watched as he walked up to Mrs. Smith and started talking to her.

I looked back down and a few minutes passed then the teacher called me up to her desk. I grabbed my backpack and walked up to where her and the guy we're standing. I looked at Mrs. Smith and asked, "Is there a problem Mrs. Smith?"

"No Ivy, there isn't. This is Jay Miller. He says he wants to talk to you," Mrs. Smith respond

I glanced at the guy and asked, "Why?"

Mrs. Smith said, "I don't know, since class is almost over that's between you and him."

I turned to face him and he said, "Come with me Miss. Starr." He turned and walked out of the class and I followed him. My phone went off and I looked at it. It was Zane, he said that nothing new has come up and he asked me if something new has come up so far with me regarding what is happening. I was about to respond when Jay said, "Don't answer that. Do not text."

I asked, "Why Jay?"

He said, "Do not call me Jay. It's Mr. Miller to you and because I can't have anyone else knowing your with me yet until I leave." I went to ask why but before I could he said, "Don't ask questions. Shut up and listen to me. We can make this really simple or we can make it hard."

He started walking and I wasn't going to follow him but he yelled at me to and given I don't know who he is or what he could do to me I followed him. We eventually came up to a car, that was about four blocks away from the school and my dorm, and he said, "Get in."

I said, "No. I don't know who you are or what you want. I'm not getting in that car with you."

"Smart girl. To bad your parents had to send you away...well your real parents. They could have trained you to fight better," He replied.

I looked at him slightly confused, "What do you know about my parents?"

I watched as his eyes flased red and he said, "More then you know." I stood there and watched as his eyes got really red and then slowly went back to normal."

I stood there spaced out for a couple minutes not sure what to do. Did his eyes actually turn red for a few seconds? Did I just imagine them turning red because of all the other werid stuff that has halhappe so far? I snapped out of it when Jay said, "If I were you I'd be careful with what you say or do around me. One wrong move and it won't end well for you.

My phone has already gone off about fifty different times while I've been with this guy. I figured if I pulled it out or answered it he could or would hurt me. I stared up at him and his eyes turned red again and said, "Now I suggest you get into the car."

Before I could respond a girl from acrossed the street yelled, "Hey Ivy, who are you with?"

Jay wispered, "Who's that?"

I said, "umm..a girl in one of my classes."

He thought for a second and then said, "Tell her I'm your cousin, now. If you don't things won't end well for either of you."
