Buried trust

Chapter 2

"Of course you can" Alex answers before I can even open my mouth. I glare at Alex and she has a big smile on her face. "Alex, why didn't we discuss this first" I whisper. "Because he is freaking hot" she whispers back. I drop my face in my hands and sigh. When I put my head back up I feel some eyes staring at me. I turn around and see Luke in the doorstep. I stand up and walk towards him.

"Who is he," he asks? "I don't know. Alex said he can sit with us" I say quickly. Luke is watching the new boy sitting at our table. Alex has a full conversation with him. "Why are they talking about you," Luke asks with a cold tone. I look at him and focus on what they are talking about. "Sorry I can't hear them from here. I will go back and ask him about it" I say. I stand on my toes to give Luke a kiss but he turns around and walks away. What the hell. Why does Luke this always when we are in front of a lot of people.

I walk to my chair and sit down. "Class is starting guys, so everyone is quiet and if I hear you speak you'll get detention. I hope that not a single person in this room would like detention on their first day." the voice of the teacher says. I grab my pencil out of my bag and grab my binder. I see that some other guy sits next to the mystery guy. I remember him from last year. He sure had a glow up this summer. The teacher is saying stuff that I already know so I start on making my notes very neat and organized.

The bell rings and everyone in the classroom stands up and grabs there bags. I do the same. "Hey Ethan, do you want to sit with us at lunch," Alex asks mystery guy. Now I know that his name is Ethan. "Alex," I say. "No, I'm good" he answers my thoughts. Alex stares at me and hooking her arm into mine. "Well your shame," she says. "Never say I didn't offer" she quickly adds after that. Ethan walks past us at the exit. Alex and I walk to the cafeteria together. I see Natalie and Andrew sitting at our table. "You never guess who we met" Alex screams to Natalie. "Alex you can quiet down a little bit, they can hear you," I say. "Tell me everything," Natalie says.

"First there was this hot boy sitting in our group with biology. But I think Luke doesn't like him because he was there to see Maddie and then walked away without a kiss" Alex begins. I give Alex a deadly glare. "We had a conversation about our group and Maddie specific. I think he has something to hide. After the lesson, I invited him here but Maddie didn't want him here. So he walked away." "Yeah we get it, I think he is a creep. His attitude, His staring at my everything." I say before I look like a bitch. "But he was very hot Maddie" Alex responds. "I don't care if he's hot. I have Luke."

The first day of senior year is over and I decide to go home with Luke to hang at his house. I step into my car and drive behind Luke and Niall. When we pass Jenny's old house I begin to think of every happy memory there. When I see a tall dark-haired boy standing next to his car I can't believe it. Oh my god, its Ethan. I stop my car and sit in my car doubtful if I should go to him. I send Luke a message that I will come to his house and that I have to take care of one thing first.

I step out of my car and walk towards Ethan. "Hey," I say. Ethan looks up and stares into my eyes. "Can I talk to you about something?" I ask. "Yeah sure," he responds to me without looking into my eyes. "I'm sorry about how rude I was at school. I wanted to apologize, but I couldn't find you at school. And I was going to my boyfriend's house and I saw you standing there and I was, this couldn't be a coincidence. Yeah, it could be but." "I get it, apology accepted" he cuts me off. "I wasn't done," I say quickly because he was already walking towards the front door. "What is it. Tell me" he says and steps closer to me. "You know I looked at this house because my friend used to live here." I feel tears already burning in my eyes after mentioning Jenny. "Jenny is her name. She was my best friend and I miss her a lot. But she never left a new address. So do you have it" I ask? "No, I don't. But I know Jenny. She is a friend of mine too." he responds. I look at him. He is getting uncomfortable. "Can I write a letter so you can give it to her?" I ask. "Yeah sure, but can you do me a favor?" he says. I nod and think about the letter that I'm going to write. "Please be careful who you trust" He suddenly says and walks away. "Okay, I will. Bye." I say and I begin to walk back to my car.

'Sorry that I can't come anymore something has come between it. I finally have the possibility to write a letter to Jenny and I want to do that right now. Sorry babe. Love you'

I send the text to Luke and drive home. I see no cars in front. That means that my parents are still at work. I walk to my room and grab a piece of paper and begin to write the letter I wanted to write after Jenny left.

'Hey Jenny, I know we haven't spoken for a long time but I finally saw an opportunity to send you a letter. I don't know how you know Ethan but I think it's a miracle. I miss you very much. Why did you have to move away so suddenly? I hope you have a nice senior year. We always talked about it. By the way, I started dating Luke right after you moved. Were do you live? Do you have a phone so we can text? I miss you. Please come back even if it is for one week. You can crash at my house. I'm sure my parents are okay with it. We have to talk about a lot of things. Come back to Maryville, please. Only if you want to. Anyway, I like that I can send this letter to you. It feels like we are connected again. Love you. Kisses Maddie.'

I fold the letter and put it in an envelope. It isn't the best letter I ever wrote but it is how I feel right now. I want her to come back to Maryville, back home. I check my phone for any messages. 'No, it's alright. How are you planning on sending Jenny a letter.' A text message from Luke. I text him back saying I will tell him that tomorrow.

I walk downstairs and see my mom already started with dinner. "What are we going to eat?" I ask. "Just some pasta with tomato sauce," she answers me. My mom loves the Italian kitchen and we always eat 3 days in the week Italian. I am more into Mexican cuisine. That's why I always cook one day the week. I grab plates, some forks, and knives. I begin setting the table. "Thank you honey." my mom says. "Mom, can I tell you something?" I aks. "Of course you can," she answers me. "I met a guy today who lives in Jenny's old house. He is also friends with her and he talks to her sometimes. So I asked him if I could write a letter and that he could give it to her. He said yes and now I have written a letter to Jenny but I'm not sure if she wants it." "Oh honey, of course, she wants it, and if she don't I think she isn't going to write you back. You can always try you know." My mom is so sweet. "Thank you mom" I hug her and take the pasta to the table.
