Secret love
chapter 5
It was nearly Dawn before I got to sleep. My head barely hit the pillow when a loud sound awakened me.
Arg! Stupid alarm.
I dragged myself out of bed, quickly getting ready for school and went downstairs for breakfast.
“Good morning kiddo, ” my dad said as I was coming down the stairs.
“Morning dad, ” I said giving him a kss on the cheek.
“Hi sky, ” Ethan said.
“Wow, look who is up and ready, nice job bro, “I told him with a smile.
“Stop with all the sarcasm, you know I can be punctual if I wanted to,”he said rolling his eyes.
“Are you OK? you seem a little under the weather, “Dad said touching my forehead to feel my temperature as if i was a baby.
“Am good, just a little tired. ”
“Are you sure you know you didn’t come down for dinner last night also, ” he asked worry plastered on his face.
“Yes am sure and i wasn’t that hungry last night Dad, “I said trying to convince him and it looked like it worked when he stopped with all the questioning but not before giving me a look that said he wasn’t sure he believed me.
“OK, I’ll see you guys later then, “He said as he took his keys and left.
A few minutes later i was in school and all settled down. Serena wasn’t here yet which was really strange. I also tried calling her but her phone was off. She was never one to miss school unless something was off. What happened last night? I really hopped it wasn’t what I was thinking. I thought of calling Chris but then decided to call Jay instead.
“Hi sky, Morning, “Jay answered on the first ring. I half expected him to answer after what happened last night.
“Morning, can I see you after class. ”
“Yeah, let’s meet at the cafeteria OK? ”
“OK, see you then, ” I said hanging up.
Soon class was over and I was up and out of the door.
“Hey sky, wait up, ” I heard someone shout from behind me.
I turned to look back and saw Jim running towards me .It had been a while since I had seen him obviously because I was trying to avoid him as much as I could.
“Hi, he said he reached me almost out of breath from running.
“Hi Jim. ”
“I have something for you, “he said handing me a box of chocolate.
What was with this guy and gifts?
“Uuhm, thank you, I have to go now am really in a hurry, ” I told him turning to leave.
“Wait ,am having a party on Friday ,it’s actually for Jay and I was hopping you’ll be my date, ” he said looking at me with hopefull eyes.
” I can’t Jim, I don’t want to give you false hope,” I told him wishing he would just give up already.
“OK, I understand but can you at least save me a dance.? ”
“OK, just one dance ,”
“Thankyou so much, I guess I’ll see you on Friday then,” he said as he left smilling from ear to ear.
What have I done? I hope I dint give him any hopes.Just one dance won’t hurt right? Anyway what’s done is done.
I turned and continued with my journey to the cafeteria. I was very curious at the same time worried as to what had happened last night.
I spotted Jay as soon as i got in the cafeteria and walked towards him. Just looking at him made my heart skip a bit. What was this guy doing to me?
“Hey,” I said taking a seat in front of him.
“Hi,whats wrong you look kind of worried? ”
The way he was looking at me made me feel all type of ways. Oh shit! I was really falling hard for him.
“I need to know what happened last night, how was the date? ” I asked him.
“I thought Serena would have told you already, I mean you guys tell each other everything, ” he said his chin resting on his hand.
“Well Serena dint come to school today and her phone is off. ”
I knew something was off when he looked at me for whole second without saying a word.
“Everything was fine, I thought she was OK with us been only friends ,”
“What are you talking about, just tell me what happened already,” I said getting impatient.
I told her that we can only be friends and she was OK with it or atleast that is what she made me think, ” he said concern showing on his perfect face.
“She must be really heartbroken to even miss school, I knew this was going to happen, ” I said as i got up and started walking away from him.
“Where are you going, “he asked almost shouting.
“To class, ” I told him still walking but he was quick to catch up with me.
He stood in front of me reaching out and taking my hand into his which made me shiver. I instantly pulled my hand away from him which left him very confused and irritated. If he only knew what his touch was doing to me.
“Why are you mad at me, you pritty much forced me to take her out. I dint mean to hurt her or you, ” he said apologetically.
“You’re right, it’s all my fault. Am sorry I got you in this mess, ” I said fighting back tears.
“That’s not what I meant, it’s noones fault. I just said yes to her so that I could take the chance and explain to Serena that we could only be friends, I really never meant to hurt her, “he said trying to take my hand but i didn’t let him.
“What’s up with you? you’ve been acting weird lately and I know it’s not all about the date.”
This was really getting intense. We had already started attracting some attention.
“Nothing is wrong Jay and speaking of weird you are the one who was giving me attitude at Serena’s yesterday,” I said trying to control my anger.
“I was having a moment Sky and am sorry if i took it out on you. Come on, you know I can’t stand it when you are mad at me, ” he said lifting up my chin so I could look at him.
“Am not mad at you OK, I have to go now, ” I told him as i walked out of the cafeteria leaving him standing. I felt so stupid. Why was I even mad at Jay when it was not even his fault .
” That was quite a scene you made at the cafeteria. I have never witnessed such entertainment before, ” Joy said beside me as soon as i was out of the cafe.
“Back off Joy, am not in the mood,”I said rolling my eyes.
“Come down OK? That was straight from a soap opera, are you sure you and Jay are only friends.?” she said giving me an evil grin.
She was really getting on my nerves but I was not going to entertain her.
” I have better things to do with my time, than waste it with you Joy! “I told her as i walked away.
All I wanted was to see Serena, but that had to wait until after school.
