G W E N ' S P O V :
I saw Austin waiting for me two blocks away from school and drives me to work.
He then go down to his car as we arrived the building. He doesn't usually do it so I asks! "Do you have something to do here today?"
"Yeah! Dad wants to talk to me! We can't talk it at home because he's too busy!" He replied.
I just nod and we walk side by side, inside the building.
"So why did you disappeared a while ago?" He then asked while we're inside the elevator, pertaining to the lunch break.
"Uhm Dave and Ems were busy. I don't want to be left alone!" I replied.
"Aw okay. By the way, the girl in the cafeteria, she's-"
"Look! It's okay!" I said cutting him off. Like I said, I don't want to look like a jealous clinging girlfriend. So I just pretend that I don't care.
"Very well." Unexpectedly, he just sigh. "Can you block Ronalds number?" He asked all of a sudden.
"Why?" I looked at him
"You know he's into you, right?"
"I can't do that. It would be totally rude if I block him."
"So he's the reason why you wanna make us a secret?" He asks as we arrived the floor where her father's office is and where my work is.
"What's wrong with you?" I exclaimed, he really is confusing sometimes.
"Austin! You're here too." My mom cheerfully said. Haven't even notice that mom and dad is already infront of us.
"Oh hi Mr. and Mrs. Evans." He greeted immediately and smiled at them. "Dad asks me to come here today!"
"Oh! Would you like to eat dinner with us?" My mom asks!
"I can't Mrs Evans. I already ate breakfast with you. Dinner would be too much. And my mom cook at home, you know she'll get mad if I don't eat with them tonight."
My mom just smile and my dad nodded.
"I'll get going" he said goodbye to my parents and kiss me on the cheek and went to his fathers office.
"So are you gonna go together to the prom?" My mom asks as she walk me to the clerk who'll check my time in. While dad went to his office.
"No mom." I replied.
"Why?"
"Because I promised Emily and David that we'll go together." I explained.
"But David and Emily can go together, then you and Austin." my mom defended.
"He never asked me mom!" He never did! It sometimes disappoint me. But would I say yes if ever?!
"But Mrs A said-"
"Our relationship is a secret so we can't go together." I cut her off! She's a bit nosy sometimes.
"What? What kind of drama is that?" My mom chuckles. "Is that what Austin wants?"
"It's my decision. I don't know if that's what Austin wanted but I think so, 'cause he didn't complain."
"And your reason for keeping it a secret?"
"It's just that, I am not used to having a boyfriend. And I don't know what will I go through if words spread that I am Austin's girlfriend. The Austin James Anderson's girlfriend." I emphasize.
I don't want to tell my mom the whole truth about keeping it a secret. Because I still want them to think good thing about him.
"So what?" My mom frowns.
"Well! he's.... Austin." I hope she understands what I mean.
"Okay! You're still young anyways." She smiled. "I'll go to my cubicle. I'll get back to you when your three hours work are done okay!"
I nodded and went to my small table to prepare for work. Photocopying. Sorting. Scrapping. And doing all sorts of errands.

Time runs faster than expected. Same routine, he'll pick me to our house in the morning and drive me to work after school, still in secret, and sometimes he'll pick me up from work and drives me home. Then we'll make out whenever no one is around.
We didn't talk about the girl in the cafeteria nor the blocking of numbers, again.
For three days, we just go on with the secret relationship that we have. Strangers in school. Make out buddy slush friends inside our house and his car.
I don't know what to call to what we have. No sweet nothing. Not even I like you, and the likes of it.
Once, while we're making out, he said 'I wish I could fuck you right now', but he can't because of my period and I don't even know if that's sweet.
We text every night, more of sexting I guess. Or because we both don't know how relationship works that's why we just go on like this.
But somehow, I felt the sweetness in his actions. He's always kissing me, whenever-wherever given the chance, even in school. I remember one time he pulled me into the cleaning storage room when no one is watching just to kiss me.
And because I am always alone every lunch break. He asked Gabby to join me for lunch. He even joined once. He's ego wont allow me to have someone to eat with other than his bestfriend. Geeezzz!
He even put a chocolate inside my locker. No notes of course. But then, that's a good sign, right?
But the bitches and whores are always out there, ready to flirt with him. I sometimes feels like I wanted to announce what we have, to take him away from those sluts, but I am afraid of the consequences. So I just close my eyes whenever they're in radar.
I just hope, he's really is doing his celibacy. I actually don't trust him. But what can I do, I just have to have faith in what these leads us to.
