Secrets

Chapter 2

A.N: Sorry it took so long! I kept trying to write, then writers' block hit me like a train. Soooooooo, I will try to introduce new characters, and I will not be including her dad in this! Soo, this chapter is gonna be A LOT happier than the first chapter. Also, if you see any grammar mistakes, (yes, I have Grammarly, it doesn't always work tho) and any areas I can improve in, please let me know!

I shot awake, expecting to be yelled at for sleeping in. Waiting to be scolded by my dad, I ran down the stairs as fast as humanly possible without tripping.

"Hey, Chris? Where is dad?" I asked, scanning the room 

"Oh, dad? He just left for the airport." Chris replied as an instant smile was put on my face. 

Chris was my big brother. We were only a year apart, but we loved each other dearly. Chris and I were the only survivors of the fire. Ever since then, we have been inseparable.  Chris was going to a different school, Eulogia Academy, while I went to Eastwood High. (A.N: I just googled some school names XD)

Hallelujah, I sang in my head as she opened the door to go to school. 

"Rosa, you ok?" Liz asked as I walked by with a smile on my face.

"Yea, I'm great! My dad left for work, so we can FINALLY have a sleepover! And, I won't get a beating for not cleaning up a single spec of dust," I say, mumbling the last part. 

"What did you say?"

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing."

"Ok, if you say so," Liz concludes as we walk up the stone steps to school.

'Great. Just great. Another day in the underworld,' I think to myself. "Remind me why I agreed to go to a place like this? Oh, wait! I didn't agree, I was frickin FORCED TO." I say, almost shouting the last two words as I slam my locker, then receiving a couple of weird looks from other students. I ignore them. 

"Hey, Peachy! Get over here!" (A.N why peachy? All I can say is she bruises VERY easily. The bruises don't hurt tho.)

I groan. Really? Now? Him? 

"What do you want Lucas?" I sigh. This dude. I swear I wi- 

"Common! Just this one time, please?" He makes a puppy do-face as he talks.

"No! Why would I want to go out with you? Now please, leave me ALONE." I glare at him. I run as fast as I can away from this jerk. Ok, maybe I lied, and I kinda want to go with him, but he's a player. No thank you. Besides, I am perfectly fine on my own. 

~Time skip till Lunch~

'What's for lunch? ' I wonder. My question was answered as I walked into the cafeteria, a sudden smell of cooked noodles, tomatoes, and various seasonings overpowered me. 'Finally, something good for once, and not the cardboard "pizza" they serve us,' I think to myself, walking up to the counter to get my food. 'Well, it's better than the food at home, that's for sure,' I continued. I then proceeded to find a place to eat. After a minute or so of looking, I find an empty table and sit down. Not even after one bite and I hear a cocky voice behind me. 

"So, whatchu you eating?" Lucas said, eyeing the blob of noodles and sauce.

"What does it look like, idiot? Pizza?" I said, glaring at him.

"Okay, jeez, I'll leave," Lucas says, as he starts to walk away.

I sigh. 'Why does it have to be him? The biggest idiot/jerk in the world. Why did he have to be at my school? Oh right! The universe is against me! First the fire, then William, now him?' 

A.N: FRIKIN FINALLY. I got this done! Sorry for the short chapter, but what can I say? Schoolwork is HARD. Ok, tell me what you think of this chapter! Sorry if it wasn't what you were expecting.  Also, this isn't just a "love-hate-fall in the love-get married type of thing. MUCH different. *Hint, look at paragraph 17.* 

See ya!
