Harsh Secrets
C h a p t e r 4
I
woke up that morning to the sun shining. I walked
downstairs and towards the kitchen. I started going
through the cupboards to find something to eat when the
lady I saw yesterday came in.
"Oh don't worry about that dear! The cook
will make you whatever you want at once." She
told me. and twenty minutes later I was eating some amazing
chocolate chip pancakes that the cook I saw yesterday
had made. I finished and my plate was taken away and washed
by some other cleaning lady. I was weird not to have to
do anything because back home I had chores
everyday. I got dressed to lay out by the pool.I layed
down on a lounge chair. It was so quiet because I had
forgot to bring my ipod out with me but I was much to
warm and comfortable to move. Then music started playing. I
opened my eyes and sat up to see a boy about my age turning
on a radio at the pool house. He had his back turnde to me
and took off his shirt. With out noticing me he jumped into
the pool and started swimming laps. I layed back down
but watched him. He was so muscular! He got out
on the other side of the pool, walked over and grabbed
a towel. He turned and say me for the first time. He froze
and stared at me.
"Hi." I called out but he didn't answer
me. Just turned around and looked away. He turned off the
music and started wakling away.
"Wait, could you keep that on please?"
I called after him. He didn't even turn or pause for a
second. He just walked through the garden and towards the
guest house. Was he staying there? I got up and turned
the music back on by myself. That was rude. Who was he? I
decided to go inside and ask Aunt Kim. She was in her
office and talking on the phone. I decided it
could wait. I went to the kitchen to grab a glass
of water. When I passed the front room on the right
from the stairs I heard harsh whispers. I wanted to know
what they were talking about so I crept over to
listen. It was hard to make out what they were saying but I
did hear when they were comming out. I jumped back and
pretended to be walking out from the kitchen. I saw
the cook, the maid and John come out and go their seperate
ways. I caught up to John he seemed the nicest.
"Hi" I said sweetly.
"Hello. How are you Jen?" He asked with
a smile.
"Oh fine! I was just wondering if you knew who the boy
in the guest house was?" I asked.
John laughed lightly, "So I see you have meet Mr.
Collin."
"Well not really... He didn't seem to into meeting
me. He just kinda turned and walked away."
"Yess that seems like him. He is here because his mom
is a very good friend of your Aunts. She is always busy and
Collin was getting into a lot of trouble. Your Aunt said
that he could come live with her untill he finished
high school." Jon told me.
"He seems like a jerk." I said.
Jon laughed, "Well he can be rude but I believe
that he secretly is greatful to your Aunt for letting
him live here."
"Really? Why do you say that?" I asked.
"He is always nice to her. And I believe
her only did those things to get attention. Well
either way, he is staying with us."
"How long is that?"
"Untill the end of school. I believe he is in year
11."
"Great, my grade." I said
sarcastically.
Jon laughed then excused himself and I went up to my room.
I went out on the balcony and looked over to the guest
house. I saw something move in the upper window. A curtain
moving back into place it seemed. Was he watching me?
I shook my head. and went back inside but took on more
look back right before the doors closed. I would swear
that curtain moved again.
