Our Little Secret [Finished]

Chapter 5

I yawned and stretched my arms in an awkward, yet effective manner, before turning around and wrapping myself in more duvet. I opened my eyes just a fraction and felt the strange urge to groan, out of anger. The sun hadn't even risen, and I was awake.

I looked at the bright alarm clock and sighed when I read it was fifteen past five. Not an ideal time to be awake.

I decided to get up, slowly unravelling myself out of the duvet and stumbling into the bathroom, taking a short shower before getting ready by brushing my hair and teeth.

I put on a pair of fluffy socks, black joggers, and a plain, baby pink hoodie. I didn't look amazingly stylish- but I didn't care. I was at least comfortable.

I started by unpacking the things I had gotten for my room, yesterday, and putting them up around the room. I put up the clock, painting, and snow globe, and organised my vanity in the desk's cupboards. 

I next tried on a bunch of the clothes I had tried on yesterday. Practically every single article fitted and looked good! I smiled as I put them on hangers and into my wardrobe, content that every one of them looked great.

I finished by putting my SIM card into my phone and starting it up. I downloaded a few essential apps- Snapchat, WhatsApp, TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, and Kindle. I logged in on all of them- starting an account on TikTok. 

As a few games were being downloaded onto my phone, I turned to my laptop and turned that on, typing in my details and switching it on. I personalised a few things on my laptop before turning to the other gadgets- the Airpods, headphones, and Apple watch. I started connecting my watch to my phone when I heard a voice from the door. 

"Busy there?"

My head snapped up and my eyes widened, only to relax, noticing it was Ethan.

"Yeah, I was just organising everything I bought yesterday." I explained. His eyes scanned around the room at the things I had bought yesterday. "Did I wake you up?"

"Not at all- I was just planning on going on a run." He said. I nodded.

"Well, enjoy your run." I said, trying to wrap up the conversation. I was in my zone with what I was doing.

"Thanks- but when I come back we're going to have to talk some more." Ethan said before exiting.

I furrowed my brows in confusion and was about to inquire him, when I heard the front door slam shut. 

I shrugged before continuing to connect the devices. 

...

I sighed contently half an hour later when everything was ready and connected. I picked up my phone and went onto Instagram, scrolling through all of my friends' posts. I looked through Ethan's weight loss journey, Lux's shoe brand (also following the NoTwoWays page), Freezy's oldest pictures- some of which contained me, and Rosie's new Instagram posts. 

I followed the Sidemen's Instagram, scrolling through a few of the clips and laughing at the boys, before following the Sidemen boys' (who I wasn't originally following) page. I looked through Miniminter's, KSI's, Zerkaa's and Vikkstar123's pages, learning a bit about them. All of them were rich, and had girlfriends- apart from "JJ," who was currently single.

I swiped onto my personal Instagram page and looked at the last thing my SHEIN manager had posted for me. 2018- a picture of me from a photoshoot I had done with SHEIN. 

I scoffed at the picture, editing it so that SHEIN was no longer tagged- also unfollowing SHEIN in the process.

I looked through some of the comments, finding a few overly sexualised comments, a few asking what had happened since I hadn't posted in years, and a few making comments about Ethan.
