Love and Secrets 52
"So this is the house where the IP address was tracked to?" Navaeh asked turning to Quinnel who gave me a nod. They were all standing in front of a house that was constructed with wood that had almost fallen unto the house. The woods had been eaten by woodpeckers yet it seemed someone was living in it since there was light in what they presumed to be the kitchen."Ready to find out who it is?" Zaire questioned Navaeh and she nodded her head."We need a plan first. Whoever is in there won't just say they indeed did it, you know?" Ashley asked and Navaeh nodded her head slowly."Okay, Jake and Zaire... You guys should go maybe into the person's room, get the person's phone or a laptop of a sort... Any device the person might have used to post it.""Why?" Jake asked Ashley."We're going to need evidence you know? You can't just barge into the school and say so so is the person that framed our baby. No one would believe you without an evidence. People would think you're desperate to cle
Love and Secrets Epilogue
In the school hallway that led to the auditorium. Students were filing out of the auditorium with shock on their faces. They discussed what they had just heard in twos, threes, groups... Even people that had never talked to each other in their whole lives talked to each other! "I can't believe Amelia would do something like that." "I know right? It's really confusing. She didn't seem to hate Navaeh. She greeted her once in a while." "Exactly. Those you never think would do something are the ones that stab you in the back." "Those that chose to believe Navaeh are really wise." "I know right? The poor girl had to work to cater her siblings need and someone used that against her? How horrible." "But I have to give kudos to Navaeh. I have trouble babysitting my junior brother that is even 10! But she has to take care of her two siblings that are half his age! And they're two!" "Me too! She's really trying." "I pity her. How could a hardworking student be called a slut just like t

Navaeh. "Come on. Aelin. Where's Aerin?" I asked wearing my sneakers. "Oh... she's already outside. I have no idea why she's there though. She really weird if you ask me." She replied scrunching her nose before focusing back on her cereal. I looked at Aelin in disbelief. I shook my head and stood up straight having successfully worn both shoes. "You shouldn't say that about your sister. She finished her breakfast earlier than you and is ready to go doesn't mean she's weird. Understood?" She nodded her head and muttered an apology before taking her bowl of finished cereal to the sink. She climbed up the stool right in front of it and washed her dish placing it back in it's rightful place. We walked outside hand in hand to see Aerin standing there looking in distance. She noticed our presence as she looked up at both of us. "Hola." I smiled in response. "Lunch?" I asked. "Check." They both replied. "Lunch money?" "You haven't given us." Aerin said. "Oh shoot. I'll be ri

Quinnel. "Bye Mom." I said. "Won't you eat breakfast?" She asked coming from the kitchen. "I know... I'm late for practice." "Regards to coach." "Kay... bye big man." "Bye." Caspian muttered eating his cereal. Today was the first day of school and yes we really do have practice... Crazy coach. I could ditch practice but I'm the captain so I can't. I entered my Corolla and drove to school passing by the Thatcher's. Standing outside was a girl whose hair was packed into two ponytails or was it quacktails? I knew it was one animal tails staring into the air with no care in the world. I drove past her and then to school. Running out of the car, I ran to the stadium. "You're late, Ashford!" Coach bellowed. "I know I know..." I said and dropped my bag on one of the bleachers. "Why were you late?" Zaire asked me after practice. "I slept in." I said and winked at him before gulping water. "Well, let's go. People are arriving! It's our last year and first day! Yayyyyy!" Zaire ye

Is this the sign a rapture is coming? Is the world coming to an end?! I'm not ready to die! "Quinnel?" I asked again. Don't blame me. I'm shocked to the bones right now. Quinnel Ashford is on the phone with me?! As in, it's Quinnel, the captain of the basketball team. The one I only talked to by mistake this morning! Yes, that Quinnel. "Navaeh, you still there?" I heard making me shake my head slipping the thought out of my head. "Umm, Quinnel Ashford?" I asked still in disbelief. "Don't hang up...please. I know you probably hate me but..." "I don't hate you Quinnel." I said cutting him off. "You don't?! Oh my God! Thank you so much. Oh Goodness! I was scared you did." He replied heaving a sigh of relief. "Well I don't so..." I dragged kicking the air. "Oh right... Look I know what happened has happened but could you kind of... forgive me? That's all I need. Look..." He said and then paused. "I'm sorry for that time and all but I just need your forgiveness. Could you forgi

With a furrowed brows, I continued to stare at Quinnel who was also staring at me with both hands in his pocket."Dude, what the fuck?" Was the first thing that flew out of my mouth before I could even process it."Hold on, I mean... What are you doing here?" I corrected shaking my head."Right. Can I come in first?" He asked and I blinked and then nodded."I think I saw a ladder there this afternoon, check that side." I said pointing at the wall."Oh okay." I nodded my head and then leaned on the window pane. Turning my head briefly to my room, my eyes widened."Ah geez, this ladder is heavy." He said placing it on the side of my wall.I would have asked him to climb the tree, but my room is not like the typical cliche girl having a tree by her room.Shut up, Navaeh... That's not the point right now.I turned my head back to him and he was already on the second to the last step."Stop!" I yelled holding his shoulder and he froze blinking at me."Don't look into the room. Just close

Being the only black girl gave me a kind of popularity when I first came to this school. And then my academics gave me more popularity. Hold on, I didn't tell you I was black? Let me describe myself again. My personal appearance now I mean. "Ash..." When did we go on nickname calling? It all happened when she and her girlfriend saw me this morning and came to meet me so we could enter the school together. "Morning, Neve." I'm like, what?! "Ash... Could you like describe me? My physical appearance, I mean." I said and she nodded her eyes twinkling. "Why does she look so happy?" I asked Connie. "You'll find out soon." Connie replied with a smile looking at her girlfriend. "Shhh! I'm about to go." Ashley said making us look back at her. I wanted to talk but Connie held my arm and shook her head. I blinked before going back to Ashley. "Alright. Get ready to hear the most fascinating and most interesting description ever." She said rubbing her palm together. I smiled at her en

"You're here." She said flatly looking back at her plate of pasta."I'm here too!" Zaire said popping his head in front my side and waving at her.She smiled at him and waved back.It's like she likes Zaire more than me. I mean, I'm not sounding jealous or anything but really? Zaire?!"Shut up your mouth." I said pushing him to the back with my elbow."Harsh bro. Real harsh." He said and I rolled my eyes looking up to see Ashley, was it? looking at me.I raised an eyebrow at her but she shook her head looking back to her plate of pizza."Oh you got Pizza?" Connie I guess asked.Hopefully Ashley nodded her head with a smile. Something seems off about this two. Friends aren't supposed to be smiling at each other like love struck fools. Love... Shit."Are you Connie?" I asked the girl with shoulder length blonde hair. She blinked at me before nodding her head yes. "Oh shit you got it!" Zaire said fist bumping my upper arm."Yeah and Ow!" I said pushing him slightly.Everyone at the tab

"Who do you guys think did it?" Jake asked looking at Quinnel and Zaire.Zaire looked at Quinnel who shook his head lightly."Maybe we can get a hacker to help us track down the IP address of the poster?" Jake asked and Zaire and Quinnel looked up at him immediately.Presently, they were in the cafeteria with students chatter all over the room. And the word on their lips was about the post.No one. Absolutely no one could guess who posted it. They thought Navaeh was someone loved by the whole school so something like this happening was absurd."IP address?" Zaire asked foolishly and Jake shook his head."Yes. An IP address is your house internet address of a sort. It's like, when you have that number... You already know whose house the internet is coming from. Simple as that. But you can't just randomly find it. Cause the IP address is like the key to your house internet. But, a hacker can access the internet and find someone that posted it by tracking down the IP address. Simple as t

Navaeh's breath was laboured as she scrolled down the article reading it. Her head was muddled yet her brain could process the words she was reading.Her tears had started to choke her threatening to fall off her eyes and roll down her cheeks but she blinked them away and continued reading."Everyone knows the queen diva, right? Navaeh Thatcher. The awesomely straight A student. Her first position has never been threatened not once but not for long.What if I told you, she isn't all she seems? All perfect and all that? What if I told you, it was all a facade? What if I told you her parents neglected her?Not only her... Her siblings included. She has always had to cater for the needs of her siblings all by herself yet she comes to school like all is well.Making so many people jealous of her! It's unfair! She's the one with the wrecked home! She's the two faced one.All of you who call yourselves her friend, have you ever for once been to her house? Met her parents? Have you seen her

"Hey guys!" I called pushing the door to the house open.I had planned with Beatrix the day before to drop my sister's off at our house instead of going to her home.I meant to give them a surprise so I didn't tell them I was coming home even when we talked this morning. So they have no clue and today is Saturday so it's really the best."Did you hear that?" I heard from upstairs and I grinned."Hear what? You keep hearing things." "I'm not hearing things! You're the one with the bad ears.""I don't have a bad ear." "Yeah sure. I'll believe you when it doesn't snow on Christmas.""You know that's impossible.""Exactly. "I shook my head and pushed the door to their room open. Immediately, before I even step in, they shrieked out loud."Help!""A burglar!""I told you I heard something!""Well? This is not the time to argue! And defend your point or whatever it is you're doing! We're about to get burgled or worse, kidnapped!"I rolled my eyes while shaking my head and threw my duffel

Who do I know in New York? No one. Absolutely no one.So imagine my surprise when I hear, "It's really you guys."I'm like, what?! Am I about to be kidnapped by someone who claims to know me? Oh, Quinnel is here to help. But what is he is whisked away as well before he gets to say a word?! Ah! Stop being dramatic!I turned around to come face to face with a brown haired woman beaming with smiles. Directed at us. Woman, I don't know you!I subconsciously gave the woman a once over and nope, I don't know her.I glanced over at Quinnel to see his brow was already raised at the woman's face in confusion.He doesn't know her. Wait, he is supposed to know her. Why won't he know her? Cause I don't know her!So how does she know me?"Were you talking to us?" Quinnel asked and the woman's smile faded."Aren't you... Leo?""Leo?" Quinnel repeated in shock and she nodded her head vigorously.She turned her head to me."And she's...""Not the person you're looking for." I cut her off before s

With an angry sigh, I walked up to them like a jealous girlfriend. God, I feel like a jealous girlfriend! "Hey, Nell." Did you seriously have to use that nickname? Ugh! I'm mentally face palming myself right now. "Hey, Heaven." He greeted with a smug smile that I knew too well. He was going to tease me about it later on. Stupid hunk! I turned my eyes away to the girl that still had a smile on her face. "You must be Heaven. I'm Rose." She said suddenly stretching her hand to me. Though feeling awkward, I accepted her hand with my eyes on Quinnel demanding an explanation. He shrugged in return and I rolled my eyes at him. Never helpful! "Guess I don't need to introduce myself anymore. I'm Heaven." Is that even my name? It's Quinnel that calls me that! "Nice name." "Could say the same about yours as well." I replied with a tight smile. "Well, I guess I'll get going then. See you guys." She greeted waving at us. "Never." I muttered once she was gone out if earshot. Quinnel

After we left the cafe, it was in the evening when Coach said he wanted to show us all something.We obliged and dragged ourselves out of bed, well I did, and trust me while I say this. It was indeed worth it!We stopped when we got to a brightly lit place that was bustling with people despite the fact that it was in the evening.Different companies and shops had their front light on and it wasn't white! It was more like neon colors. Well, it was beautiful.I saw a neon sign of McDonald's. This was a very beautiful place! It would be a waste if we didn't get to see it before we left!"Times Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment hub, and neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is formed by the junction of Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and 42nd Street. Together with adjacent Duffy Square, Times Square is a bowtie-shaped space five blocks long between 42nd and 47th Streets.""Brightly lit at all hours by numerous billboards and advertiseme

The song that was playing in the background had changed to Let Me Down Slowly by Alec Benjamin. "How did you guys find us?" I asked before moving the cup of my strawberry smoothie towards my mouth. "He asked." Quinnel replied nudging his chin towards Jake who was looking at the steam of his coffee get off his juice. Then his eyes would follow it until it disappeared before he looked back down at the cup to follow it again. I blinked at him before Quinnel slapped his arm lightly. "Hey, steam boy... You okay?" He asked and Jake blinked at us looking round the table before he nodded slowly. "Yeah, why? And why are you calling me steam boy?" "Uhh... Cause you were using your eyes to follow the steam?" I asked and he smiled at me before his smile fell and he looked down looking all pouty. Ashley sighed rubbing his back. I was about to say something when I saw the pink haired girl stand up. She gathered her load stuffing it in an off white coloured tote bag before she stood properly.
