Our Little Secret

12. Timmy's Lips Taste Like Chapstick And Jaxon's Taste Like Candy

"I'm sorry mom you're right. I am just a child. Thanks for watching out for me," I said.

"That's my babygirl," she said walking up to wrap her arms around me and pat my head. Her emotions changed so quickly that I couldn't keep up.

I skipped school Monday and Tuesday. I skipped Monday to heal the bruise slightly and same for Tuesday. At least that's what I told myself. I actually just went to an empty prairie close to my house besides my bruise looked the same color of red it was before on Wednesday all I had to do was cover it up with some makeup. I had to be back at school on Wednesday because of SCOBDA and for two days I could lie and say that I had the flue but they would called my mom for any longer.

I didn't talk to anyone Wednesday morning and avoided all of my friends. I hadn't even talked to Jaxon. I blocked his number cause he kept calling and messaging me. I didn't want my mom to take my phone away out of suspicion.

So when it came to load up the vehicle to go to SCOBDA and I saw Jaxon. I didn't really want to sit next to him. Morgan and Katie noticed this so they pushed me in the middle of the seat. Jaxon sat to my right and Morgan sat on Katie's lap since our band director didn't notice.

It was an awkward silence until David spoke up.

"So uh is something up with the two of you. You're being...bearable" he asked.

"It's nothing," I said lying.

"Yeah right," Katie said rolling her eyes.

"It really is nothing," Jaxon mumbled staring out his window. Morgan flipped.

"Yeah, everything is wonderful. You legit admitted to the entire band that you loved her and would beat up everyone of them if they hurt her , kissed her in front of your penny something Club, and went on a double date with one of your friends, but the silent treatment is a sure cue that a relationship is doing okay." I tensed up and felt like crying again.

"I really don't want talk about this," I said my voice shaky. Jaxon looked at me and there was a tinge  of sadness in his eyes.

"Emily did the douche hurt you?" Katie asked.

"I-I kissed Timmy in front of him," I whispered. The vehicle had an aura of silence. I didn't actually cry and Jaxon kept looking at me like he was trying to do something but couldn't. I felt like horrid horrid girlfriend.

After we got their Morgan, Katie and I hung out until we could get out number to audition. They didn't ask about Jaxon. When they finally started giving out numbers Katie and I abandoned Morgan. Katie was the second to audition even though she was supposed to be seventh so she stayed with me to wait. I was number thirty-seven but I had nothing better to do and waited at my door. I got bored though and went to go find Morgan who had made some friends.

"Hey I met some people," she said. I was a little nervous. Morgan's always been the outgoing social one. She's super pretty and makes friends easy.

"Hey, I'm Emily and this is Katie," I said.

"I'm Meranda!" one said.

"This is Aliya," Morgan pointed out.

"Hey I'm Konnor," the guy said. They were really awesome. We talked about cute guys and argued on whether or not Morgan's cousin was hot. He isn't. He's not bad but meh. I was letting Konner use my phone to show us something but it wouldn't load and sadly before it did I had to run to the audition. I got there and I still had more time and ran back to our new friends. At least I hoped they were. They were all really fun and I wanted to know them better. But sometimes at these events you don't get to talk to those people again. I came back and we all jumped right into conversation. I started to feel a little less nervous.
