Hidden Secrets (Jelena)

Chapter 6

~*~

"People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them." -Veronica Roth

Justin walked me back to my dorm and we were now standing by my room door.

"Do you wanna grab some food?" He asked.

I laughed, "You just told Becky you were gonna meet her!"

His eyes widened as I reminded him, "Oh shit."

He pulled out his phone, to text Becky I assume. I opened the door and entered my room, having him follow behind me.

"Okay, I gotta run. I'll see you around Selena," he smirked.

"Alright, I'll see you later!" I waved him off.

I took another deep breath and decided to change to some comfortable clothing, shorts, and a black shirt.

Before I settled into my bed, I made myself some noodles.

Finally, I began to do my homework, finding it hard to focus. My mind was running too fast and being overly crowded by thoughts about Isaac. I was so nervous but excited.

I haven't been on a date in the longest time and suddenly I'm contemplating if I have decent clothing in my closet that's fitting for a date.

Ironically, my thoughts were interrupted by a text from Isaac:

*Can't stop thinking about you! How was ur day??*

It was weird to think I was going to be 'dating' him. The more I think about this, the more I feel tenser.

Ugh. It's JUST Isaac.

I need to calm down.

I took a deep breath and replied:

*Me too! & It was good, just need to finish my homework. Ugh, I can't even concentrate. :/*

*Want me to come over? * My screen read.

*If you want :) maybe we can study? I really need help.* I responded.

*Yes. I am coming over :) :) :) :) :) :)*

I ended up smiling to myself again.

Before I even had the time to fix myself, he was already at my door.

"Hey!" I said, happily.

He pulled me in for a hug and gave me a tight squeeze.

He sat beside me on my bed and opened up his binder.

I couldn't stop staring at him.

"Is there something on my face?" He asked, touching his face.

"No!" I laughed.

"Then?" He smirked.

"I was just looking" I said, kind of embarrassed, he caught me looking in the first place.

He had light freckles on his face that I admired and was jealous of.

He playfully shook his head and then pointed to my paper. "So what question are you on?"

See, this doesn't have to be weird.

I broke my gaze and studied my paper, "Eight."

"You're ahead of me," He shot me a look and took my paper from me and started to compare our answers.

As he worked, I continued studied in his features carefully, trying to take in all the details I must have missed. I never bothered to take in Isaac's appearance before, the possible idea of even kissing him was weird to me at first. But looking at him now, it was easy to see he was an attractive man and I was blinded to it for the longest time.

He ran his hand through his brownish hair and then let out a huge breath.

"Half of this is wrong," He frowned.

I laughed, "Here, let me help you."

Isaac and I had managed to get most of our work done. It was difficult to get him to understand all the questions, but he was glad we had finished it.

A knock was heard from the door and I ran to get it, hoping to see Katie.

But instead, it was Justin.

"Luke here?" He asked, not too interested in looking at me. He fixed his gaze on my surroundings and searched my room.

Talk about mood swings.

"No," I replied, "He's probably with Katie."

He nodded and then looked at Isaac and then raised his left eyebrow at me.

I blushed.

"Well, if he comes here, let him know I was looking for him." He stated, "And you. Have fun."

Have fun? What the-?

"Whatever that means." I nervously smiled, "And yeah, I'll let him know."

"Later" Justin waved goodbye and walked off.

After Isaac left, I watched some T.V. and waited for Katie to return. When she did, I told her all about Isaac.

She was happy for me and that made me even more excited for tomorrow.

Now, my only worry was what to wear.

I showed my dresses to Katie and she made me try most of them on before picking one out.

She picked out a black knee-length dress. It was beautiful.

"This one!" She said.

"I should wear this?" I asked again.

"Yes! Stop stressing."

Finally, I took Katie's suggestion and decided I would wear a black dress for my date.

And then, we both settled in to watch Boy Meets World.

Justin's P.O.V

"Is there a reason you're drinking?" Luke asked, opening a bottle of vodka for himself.

"Nah," I laughed and bought the cup to my lips.

Who needs a reason to drink?

Life itself justifies for drinking.

"Becky not keepin' you company?" He joked.

I shrugged, "Only thing she's good at is fucking."

Luke laughed, "Only you would know."

"Well me and all the other guys she fucks," I corrected him, "But I don't care."

Luke let out another chuckle.

"Ever gonna go look for a serious relationship?" He asked.

I shrugged.

"Too many complications. Fuck that shit," I told him, "I don't do the whole commitment shit."

"Then what are your plans with Selena?" He asked.

"I'm still trying figure that out myself."
