Hidden Secrets (Jelena)

Chapter 4

"Don't commit to a secret relationship because your partner might be committed already, that's why he wants it to be a secret." -Margott

I woke up the sound of my loud, annoying alarm blaring through the speakers of my phone. I reached under my pillow and tapped on the screen of my phone until it shut off the annoying and painful sound.

Waking up on time is not my strength. I laid in my bed for a few minutes, debating if class was worth missing for some extra sleep. It's the second day, it would be terrible to skip. I can't get so lazy this fast.

I opened my eyes and let them adjust to the light in the room, I glanced over to Katie who was in the bathroom, applying make up.

"Morning," she peeked her head out of the bathroom, shooting me a smile.

"Hey," I yawned.

Katie was done getting ready and as I waited for her to finish the last touch-ups of her makeup, I decided on what to wear.

Looking outside the window, I took in the sunny weather. I decided to wear a light, baby blue coloured dress. It was a little short but covered the important areas. Katie was out of the bathroom and I decided to take a quick shower and brushed my teeth.

I brushed my tangled, messy hair and threw it into a lazy bun. I was impressed at the way it turned out.

Finally, after applying some mascara and concealer.

When I walked out of the bathroom, I noticed Luke's presence and waved at him.

"You look pretty!" Katie commented.

"Thanks, so do you." I smiled.

"Okay, let's go babe," Luke said, taking her hand in his.

"See you later," I waved them off.

"Later," Luke smirked at me and pulled Katie out of the room.

Okay, weird.

I grabbed a doughnut and drank some milk and made my way to class, still finishing off the last few bites of my doughnut.

"Whoa, so you made it on time today?" Taylor said from behind me.

I had almost forgotten Taylor and I had this class together.

"Yeah, shocking isn't it?" I laughed along.

As I sat down beside her, she was quick to lean towards me and whispered, "What's the deal with this Justin boy you bought along yesterday?"

"He tagged along. He's friends with my roommate's boyfriend." I stated, "oh, and we have literature together."

"Do you like him?" Taylor asked, excitement evident in her eyes.

She's been waiting for me to get a boyfriend for quite a while.

"No!" I laughed, leaving her in disappointment.

"Okay, whatever, I thought I'd ask."

Class dragged on and I actually managed to take some notes and pay attention to the slide show in front of me. I was relieved when class ended. Taylor waved me off and walked away.

I pulled out my schedule, already forgetting the class I have next.

Literature, Room 213.

I had thought I only had it every Monday. My frustration grew as my mind wandered off to Justin being there.

Justin was not in the class yet, so I opened my notebook to an empty line paper.

"Good morning class!" Mrs. Hilton smiled.
