Oswald didn't seem to have the slightest idea what he was getting himself into. As it turned out we had the next class together, it was almost like we were destined to become friends. He led the way to third-period Literature in the Literature hall. It was just like all the other classrooms except it had bookshelves containing rows and rows of novels, magazines, encyclopaedias and anything remotely related to literature, almost like a miniature library. The words 'Literature Room' was etched into a plaque on the door which I noticed on my way in. A group of students came strolling in and sat at desks along the sides and the back of the room. My eyes did a sweep of the faces but none of them was from the class I had before this one.
"Over here," Oswald motioned with his head and I followed him quietly.
Curious eyes followed my every move
The remaining hours passed like a literal flash of lightening. After lunch, the first-afternoon session was Physics where I spent the two hours doodling on the note sheets that the teacher had handed out to everyone. I didn't stay around long enough after the final bell went, neither did I spot Oswald whom I had had two classes with within the crowd flocking out of the school. Tailing the crowd heading out to the schools parking lot, I made my way to the Beetle, got in and hit the road.Adam's motorcycle was parked in the driveway when I got home, a clear indicator that the doofus was home. Usually, I would feel a compelling urge to run the thing over... maybe that would stop him from blocking the whole driveway. The imbecile had once again parked sideways in the middle of the driveway just to piss me off so I had no other choice but to park the Beetle as closely to the motorcycle as pos
Oswald was late. I made one sweep of the lot for his charcoal coloured car before storming away from my parked car towards the school's entrance. His car was certainly not in the lot, even though I didn't search thoroughly I was certain it wasn't there as I would have seen the thing if it was.The parking lot was emptying slowly. The second bell indicating that everyone should be in their classes chimed, but the hallway was still packed with more than half the school parading in groups mindlessly gossiping. It was hard to tell how many had witnessed the confrontation between Blade and myself. I picked up a few hushed whispers as I headed down the packed hallway and caught a few hasty glances in my direction before they quickly averted their eyes and pretended they had not been discussing what had happened.Annoyed and wearing a grim exp
The rest of the day rolled by pretty quickly. A sea of students flooded towards the school's exit and I let the waves carry me along. As soon as we were outside the crowd dispersed and I filled my lungs with the fresh air before making my way to the Beetle."Hey, Secret! Wait up!" Oswald's voice calls loudly.I turned and saw the tall curly-haired boy pushing his way through a small crowd then jogging towards me.He was panting a bit when he finally reached where I was waiting and a smile appeared on his lips."Don't tell me you were planning on leaving without me?" He asks throwing his arm over my shoulder and we set out to where the Beetle was parked."I thought you didn't want to
The mid-morning weekend traffic wasn't as horrible as I had expected it to be. Helen had left before I even showered and had breakfast but on the bright side, I got to drive the Beetle to the floral shop. When I left, Brett was hanging out at the house with Adam and I was more than happy I didn't have to spend the day with those morons.Phoebe's car was in the parking lot which was overcrowded with people and vehicles. I scowled at how horrible I looked in the mirror, I had bags under my eyes and I was sleep-deprived. The reflection that stared back at me looked awful, almost like something out of The Walking Dead or worst one of those White Walkers.The hoodie I was wearing wasn't hiding me the way I wanted it to which made me even grouchier than usual. I was kept awake all night by the neighbour's son, and the hour-long excessiv
Music blared from the speakers and everyone around was busy partying away with loud cheers escaping their lips as they danced. The air inside the house was stale and there was an overpowering smell of liquor which lingered in the air along with the fumes from cigarette and cigars and whatever else they were cooking up.The oversized sweater was making it easier to move around and dance, as it allowed enough air to pass over my bare skin, which was a lucky pick considering the strong liquor was already working it's magic and my insides already felt overheated. I was feeling both hot and cold at the same time and I was thankful the sweater wouldn't get stuck to my skin or damped from sweat anytime soon.The tune blasted some more while teens and college students were in lip locks and getting down and partying their lives away. As for me the punch had left a metallic taste in my mouth and my body tingled madly
Ossey and the girl were in a liplock sitting on the staircase and people who were moving up and down the staircase didn't seem to pay much attention to the two. I turned my attention back to my cellphone in an attempt to shift my focus from off of Ossey and his fling. There was an overwhelming urge to spy on the two but I ignored it. Ossey and the girl got up from the staircase not long after and she led him up the stairs and he followed willingly. He glanced into the crowd of dancing people- perhaps in search of someone - when he got to the top of the staircase then disappeared with the hot college babe.I frowned. Outside was crowded as I made my way out of the house but the open space made it more tolerable. A group of rowdy teenagers seemed to be having another hot box while another group danced wildly to the music with beers in hand under the dark starry sky. Leaned up against the w
◆OSWALD'S P.O.V ◆ - CONTINUED -Secret groaned and tripped over her own two feet as I helped her up. She stumbled off to the side once more and I caught her before she could plummet to the ground."Do you even know her name?" She randomly questions.
◆ OSWALD'S P.O.V ◆ - CONTINUED -I awoke to an alarmingly excruciating headache and groaned loudly into the pillow. It didn't help much, only caused the headache to worsen. My eyes opened and snapped back shut. I squeezed them tightly to keep the bright glares coming through the window from blinding me as the pounding in my head escalated. My eyes too throbbed horribly which didn't help in the case of the already massive headache, which felt as if I was being cruelly jabbed in the head.I gripped the blanket and pulled it up over my head and buried my face in the pillows. They smelt of lemons for some reason and I sniffed the blankets. It too smelt of lemons for some reason, like lemon scented laundry detergent.When did Helen start using lemon scented anything?I rolled over in bed with my eyes closed fighting the stabbing pain but I was warm and cozy at least. Something felt wrong. How comes I couldn't hear Adam and Brett? Wai

The doorbell downstairs rang and I heard Helen's voice floating around before the door opened. Blade's voice greeted whoever opened the door and my heart panged nervously in my chest. I looked good, I told myself as I was doing some quick breathing exercises to calm the nervousness. My eyes swept over myself one last time in the mirror.I had let my hair down and it flowed in a mass of curls around my shoulders. The outfit I had chosen for my first date with Blade was an oversized sweater shirt that was opened back and held together with a ribbon, paired with off white lace shorts and platform sneakers. I gathered my cellphone and my purse and headed downstairs to where Blade was waiting. He was sitting on the couch, looking quite uncomfortable between Helen and Victor who seemed to be giving him'the talk'.I would have laughed if I wasn't already feeling so nervous.
My breathing was shallow and my heart hammered loudly in my chest. I allowed my legs to carry me as best as they could at the moment. The principal's voice continued yelling loudly behind us as Blade led the way down a staircase and I followed."C'mon," he urges a little out of breath as he reached the front door and threw it open.He allowed me to take the lead and he followed closely at my heels as our running footsteps echoed off the ground. The silence that had filled the streets before had been disturbed by our sprint to the Mustang plus my loud panting. Blade threw open the car door and I dashed around to the passenger's side and hopped in. He stepped on the gas as I closed the door. The tires screeched loudly before the car sped off. I was wheezing loudly from exhaustion. My heart was hammering in my chest and my body prickled un
"The principal's house?" I snap, a high guttural sound, "how did my cellphone end up at the principal's house you moron!"His lips tightened into a thin line and I was fuming. The only thing keeping me from attacking him was the fact that I'd never get my cellphone back without him."It's a long story sweetling, and if you plan on getting your cellphone back, I suggest we go now and save the interrogation for later," the asshole replies.I glowered at the smirk he was wearing and let out a frustrated hiss."Fine moron... Stay here while I go change," I command."Oh c'mon Tink, there's no need for that," Blade responds immediately, his eyes looking me over searchingly.
"So you're Brad and he's Chad?" I ask for the second time making conversation and sipping on a cup of strong liquor, all while staring up at the twin who had his hand over my shoulder."Yes," he replies smiling at me, "and you're Secret and your friend over there is Phoebe?" He questions."Yeah," I reply with a chuckle.Phoebe was busy conversing with Chad. She was cheery and flirting as only Phoebe would be.Brad spoke but I didn't hear a word of it. My mind was in a different universe and even when it wasn't I was too engrossed by everything happening around us. The music played loudly, and there were endless whoops and cheers."Do you want to dance?" He repeats loude
"I know it's last-minute but can you tell Phoebe there's a party tonight next door?" I plead, following Helen around the kitchen as again she checked her events calendar and was blatantly ignoring me."A party?... Where?" Victor's disembodied voice asks.Five seconds later he walked into the kitchen. His eyebrow furrowed as I followed Helen around with my face screwed up in annoyance."Tonight, next door," I reply pursing my lips and looking from Helen to him.His eyes gleamed when he saw her and I scoffed under my breath and he cleared his throat and looked back at me."Left or right?" He asks."Right."
The evening sun felt great against my skin just thinking how horribly cold the weather had been not long ago."Decided where to go for your first date yet?" I ask Ossey Thursday after school."Hailey likes theme parks, so maybe there, I guess," he replies with his accent more pronounced and thick."Of course take her somewhere she likes," I say with a smile.The sky was a bright blue dotted with white clouds and a ray of magnificent golden sunshine reflecting against it."I almost forgot," I say turning to Ossey, "Emmett is throwing a party and I agreed to go and I thought you'd want to go too.""Emmett? As in the guy you have a cru
An entire day of searching and yet Blade was nowhere to be found. I wouldn't find him unless he wanted to be found. And he didn't. He had disappeared off the face of the earth like a single water droplet on a sunny day. Clearly, he knew some secret passages in and around the school that I didn't know about, otherwise how else would he have managed to disappear? If I hadn't hesitated to chase after him he wouldn't have gotten away or I'd at least seen where he went.I kept wondering if he was lying about not having gone through all the photos. Even if he hadn't, he had still gone through my cellphone and stolen pictures. Now he'd get to satisfy his disgusting fantasies, that he knows what I look like beneath the clothes.I couldn't turn up at his house. I'd be giving the jerk what he wanted. He even hinted at it himself. Offering the key
Hailey and Ossey? I didn't see that one coming at all. The guy's great and deserves a great girlfriend but the thought of him being googly-eyed and romantic was almost laughable. But who am I to judge, I know absolutely nothing about relationships never have and never will.My mind shifted to Blade for a split second and I shuddered and gagged and shook my head to erase that horrifying seconds thought. Almost as if everyone in the hallways had suddenly lifted from a trance loud whispering commenced. Oswald's friends were staring at him in complete awe and he looked lost. Students hurried down the corridor whispering, eager to go spread the news to anyone who hadn't witnessed the PDA of the century. Ossey's friends were teasing him and he scowled, ignored their jeerings and walked in my direction leaving them howling at him.Ossey approa
