Our Teenager Years

Chapter 8 - I know the truth now

I've not spoken to Robert or Austin all day, well that's cause I'm trying to avoid them. I really want to be with Austin but I don't want to hurt Robert's feelings. I'm in art with Reagan right now, thank goodness it's the last lesson, today has seemed to go on forever....

Reagan: Hey girl, where were you at lunchtime?

Olivia: I was outside, I wanted to finish some work I had to do

Reagan: Oh right, I thought you were with Austin or something cause he wasn't there neither

Olivia: he wasn't?

Reagan: Nah, he's been down all day, same with Robert but I know whats up with him. Do you know what's up with Austin?

Olivia: How come Robert's down?

Reagan: Oh I can't say...

Olivia: Why not, you can tell me anything, you know I can keep a secret

Reagan: It's stuff about his love life that's all

Olivia: I know who he likes...

Reagan: You do? how?

Olivia: Cause it's kinda of obvious

Reagan: How do you tell that Robert likes you? He-

She covers her mouth as she relieves what she just said

Reagan: I didn't just say that

Olivia: I know he likes me, well I had a little feeling that he did

Reagan: What are you gonna do? Don't you still like Austin?

Olivia: Yeah I do but I don't want to hurt Robert...

Reagan: I'm sure Robert will be okay, I know Austin never liked Taylor in that way so i'm sure you'll have a chance

Olivia: I'll have a chance? 

Reagan: You know what i mean Livi

Olivia: yeah it's just-

Mrs Katler: Miss Roswell and Miss Samuels. Do you two want detention after school?

Olivia and Reagan: No Mrs Katler 

Mrs Katler: Then quiet down

We didn't talk for the rest of the lesson, just in case we got detention. Throughout the lesson, I had thoughts running around in my mind. Austin? Robert? Alone? Hurting one of them? I really couldn't force. Finally the bell went. I still had to pick Gabby up. I went to my locker and dumped whatever I didn't need and grabbed my Physics stuff as I had homework to do. 

I've been waiting outside Gabby's school for like 10 minutes now, she's not come out yet. I'm sitting on a wall bench thing outside the school when I feel my phone go off. I take it out and it's my mom calling me.

Stacey: Hey sweetie, are you over at Alex's?

Olivia: No, I'm waiting for Gabby

Stacey: Honey, your dad picked her up and they went into town together

Olivia: oh thanks for telling me mom, I've been waiting out here for like 10 minutes

Stacey: Sorry sweetie

Olivia: It's okay, i'll be home in 15 

I hung up my phone and started walking home. When I was turning the corner, my phone went off again, but it was a text this time.

"AustinMahone: Hey, can i meet you somewhere, I want to tell you something..."

"OliviaSamuels: Sure, park? in 5?"

I wonder what he wants to tell me. Is it want I think it's about? I'll just have to see when I see him....
