Hidden

After Spring Break

Her

"What are your plans after the graduation?" Isabel asked Lianna. "I'll be moving out of my parent's house. Have you got a letter from our  chosen university?"

"I did. I passed!" Lianna screamed. "Maybe we'd move and live together in college?"

"Sure did!" Isabel said. "How about you, Georgie?"

"I think I'm moving in with you." I showed them my letter. The three of us jumped in unison along the hallway. I am sure their cousins would be freaked out knowing we would be together.

The bell rings and it's time to go to our class. As I enter the room, I bumped into Jake. He gave me a smile. I smiled back but walk directly to my group.

"I thought he was suspended." Steven complained in a low tone.

"He was awarded by a community service, with his love, McKenley. They can make out in the janitor's room or in the lockers after they have cleaned up." Ed sarcastically said. He was out, totally out. Turns out he was gay or so.

"Mckenley's parents had the video removed. That'll mess up with her sister's reputation." Isabel said.

Clarkson and I have not spoken throughout the spring break. He never contacted me or anything. I guess he really did gave me that space I needed to clear out my mind from Jake. It was just so much I could absorb.

And I was still waiting for him in this room. He's still not here.

"Let's check our post-spring break attendance." our teacher told us.  She called us by our names and Clarkson wasn't even here. 

"Hey, you know Clarkson's whereabouts?" I asked Ed.

He just shrugged. "I don't know. I'll ask Trevor."

"Please get your books and open--Clarkson you are to early for the next subject!"

He wriggled his eyebrows. "Your husband crashed, I went to help in."

"What?!" the teacher exclaimed. The teacher fished her phone out on her pocket and was horrified. "Oh God!"

"Mrs. Franks?" another teacher came in the midst of her shock. "Your husband met an accident. I am going to be your substitute while you are excused."

The teacher went out of the room. The substitute sat down and told us : "I really don't know what to do with you, either."

She wanted to dismiss us but she can't. She just allowed us to do our thing, just that we would keep our voices low. She said holding a book would be nice if ever the principal comes to inspect.

We kind of have our own kind of relief when the bell ringed.

Him

"Georgina, how was your spring break?" I muttered as I follow her to the cafeteria.

She looked at me and smiled. "Fine, but you didn't called after the dinner."

"I think you needed it."

"Need what?"

"The space." I sighed. We found our way to our seats. The others kind of isolate the two of us seeing us talking. "You really needed it--"

"I had to make my own version of my amendments, Clarkson." she heave a deep breath. "I had to let things go. I had to muster all my strength to do things now." she smiled.

"Things, such as?"

"Break-up with Jake." her smile turned bitter. "I know I was running after him, so he thinks I will be there with him all the time. I think I have to make that thought of me being always there for him, end."

I had this small victory over the back of my head. But after this, maybe she need time to heal.

"Don't worry, I have healed up." she said as if she read my thoughts. "I just need to let go and cut the strings. It may tingle a little, but this is how I should end it up."

I nod in agreement. She ruffled my hair. "Maybe I'd grab some food. What do you want?" I offered.

"Anything. I am tired of thinking of food this last few days." she yawned. "Maybe you'd get anything for me?"

"Sure."

I stood up and took anything she would like to eat. I look at her and said to myself, I would do anything for her.

I am hoping to be the one for her. I know it ain't certain, but I am sure I would never let the things I feel for her, HIDDEN.
