Our Teenager Years

Chapter 25 - Now you know

I've not spoken to Austin since homeroom. It's lunchtime right now and I'm walking to the canteen with Reagan. All I want right now is to go home and crawl into my bed and sleep. I've been zoning out all day since homeroom. I guess I'm doing it right now because Reagan was clicking her fingers in front of me.

Reagan: Olivia *clicks fingers*

Olivia: Sorry, what were you saying?

Reagan: I wasn't saying anything, i just wanted you to snap out of your staring zone thing you've got going on over there

Olivia: Sorry, I just want to go home that's all

Reagan: I'm sure everything will be okay between you and Austin

Olivia: The way I spoke to him this morning? I doubt it, Reagan

Reagan: It's okay, he loves you, give him time, he'll get over it

Olivia: We'll see

We walk into the canteen and notice where everyone else is sitting and walk over to them. Austin and Alex aren't there yet and I guess they're having lunch somewhere else or something. I take a sit beside Sarah and Reagan sits down beside me.

Olivia: Where's Austin?

Sarah: He's in the queue with Alex. I heard about you two arguing in homeroom

Olivia: Do you think he's mad at me for doing that?

Sarah: No, he loves you, he won't stay mad at you, give him time

Olivia: That's exactly what Reagan just said

Just then I saw Alex and Austin walking towards the table with their lunch.

Austin: I'm gonna go sit beside Ivan and that

He starts walking in the other direction but when I say his name he turns round and looks me in the eyes. I stood up and walked over to him.

Olivia: I'm sorry for how I spoke to you this morning

Austin: I'm sorry too

Olivia: What are you sorry for? It was all my fault

Austin: Your right

Olivia: Excuse me?

Austin: Your the one who doesn't trust me and that's why we had that argument, so it's your fault

Olivia: Austin, I do trust you, I trust you with my life

Austin: Then why can't you tell me this?

Olivia: I told you why in homeroom

Now nearly everyone was staring at me and Austin. He places his food on the nearest table and walks out of the canteen. The only thing I can do is tell him. It's gonna come out sooner or later with the way we're going. I run after him and stopped him in the middle of the corridor.

Olivia: Austin, please

Austin: What? What's the point of us if you don't trust me. I trust you with everything, I don't have any secrets with you. It just shows that i'm more into this relationship then you

Olivia: Stop there for a moment. You don't tell me all your secrets, you didn't tell me that Robert fancied me. And I'm bloody into the relationship with everything I have. I miss after school study classes to be with you. I take hours out at night to see you instead of doing homework. And you know who much school means to me. But Austin, you mean much, much more to me

Austin: That wasn't my secret to tell, whereas here, this is your secret

Olivia: I've had it, seriously, it's my necklace okay, it has a secret that my da-

Austin: Stop, back up, your not telling me about your necklace?

Olivia: Can you let me finish please?

Austin: Is the end that you got it on holiday or something?

Olivia: I was just about to tell you the secret, the biggest secret that I have and your just taking it for a joke

Austin: It's a necklace Olivia!

Olivia: It's the only thing I have from my Biological Father, Austin! Seriously, if my life is just a joke to you, we're done!

I storm off, not caring if it's only lunchtime. I walk home with so much stuff running around in my head, why did he act so childish? Why couldn't he just listen for like 2 minutes? Did I just end mine and his relationship?....
