6

A/N :

Hey everyone! I hope you're doing Great! I know some of you really liked my book and commented and looked forward to new chapters, but after some really confusing chapters I just stopped writing this story.  I didn't know what to do with it for a long time. Few days back I read it again and realized that I must write this story again, with less chaos and confusion this time. I tried and yes I was able to write this story better than I did before. Also I want to inform you that I'm restarting from chapter six, I hope you like it.
 So here it goes!~


P.S. I would really appreciate your response on my chapters and also if you clicked that blank star! Thank you so much for reading my book !

It is clear to me now that this guy must have been to police station a lot of times. He's speeding his bike like he needs to win some kind of race and I'm sure we're going to crash with some car or truck very soon.


I grab onto him tightly so that when he turns his bike on the next corner I won't get thrown away by the strong jerk he loves to give his bike, I mean it's cool when you see it happening in a movie but if it's happening in reality...


"Christian slow down!" I shout over the wind, I really don't want to die young, well not until I've eaten every delicious thing in this world.


My wish is simple you see.


"Christian!"


"Hold it!!" Is the only abrupt reply I hear. 


I close my eyes shut hoping that it might hurt less when I bump my head into some random car. After when it feels like hours have  passed he slows his bike and eventually we stop.


"You can open your eyes now, well if you don't want to knock yourself out that is." I scowl at him while he laughs at me.


"What kind of world do you live in? You can't go beyond the speed limits!" I shout still sitting awkwardly on his bike, my legs are hanging in the air because I'm not tall enough.


"You can lecture me all you want after you land on the ground miss." He gestures me to get off his bike and I follow.


I am so busy yelling at him that I don't notice where we are. I blink few times as i realize I don't recognize this part of town. It is a cheerful Street with different shops and cafes, but thanks to this guy who loves black color so much we are standing in front of a cafe named Secrets which is totally black, I mean black walls, shiny black door, glittering black Windows, you name it.


"Why are we here? This place is so gloomy and dark."


"Inside is totally different, like they say don't judge a book by it's cover? It applies here so just come in." He extend his hand like a gentleman and I feel flustered for a moment because he's not acting rude or rough but gentle and if feels weird.


"Alright."


I go straight inside with him walking on small little black pebbles which lead to the cafe . As I  step in my eyes squint a little trying to adjust to the mysterious violet light. The inside is just like Christian said, it's filled with violet, pink, glowing lights, every table is flower shaped with little twinkling lights decorating them, it's like as if you're in a fantasy world.  


We settle on a table near the window and I notice that the window is painted with a picture from inside. You can still see outside because the picture just covers the half of the window but instead of noticing what's going on outside you just keep looking at the picture.


"It's beautiful." I feel myself smiling at him. I really didn't expect him to bring me to such a place which doesn't suit him.


Actually when you think about it, it does suit him. He's just like this place, he is mysterious, he makes you wonder how beautiful you can look in black clothes, in black color.


"I knew you would like it Hazel, now shall we order?" His eyes question and I reply with a nod.


He orders something which is called magic potion and we wait in silence for it. Seriously magic potion? This place makes me feel like I'm in some kind of adventure game where you drink such magical drinks to power up yourself.


"Well, I didn't know you knew such a nice place Christian." I break the silence because no matter how great place is silence between a boy and a girl gets awkward.


"You don't know many things about me." He pauses, his eyebrows join for a moment and he speaks again. "Actually you don't know anything about me."


"That's right." I remember what Charlotte said on the phone, about him being expelled.


"So why did you asked me out on a date?" Oh here it comes. I don't know what and how Grace asked him out as I have not been through that chat box yet so what am I supposed to answer now.


"Well I, uh, um I.." While I stumble with my words looking like a fool our order arrives, it's actually blueberry mojito with some pink and purple syrup but it looks kind of cool.


I thank the waitress mentally for bringing it at the right time and spend some time sipping on my magic potion. Christian does the same but he continues to stare at me.

What should I do? It's obvious of him to ask that question because it's been literally few days since we met and here we are in café on our date.


"I actually, I didn't ask you out. I mean I wasn't the one who talked to you on Facebook." Before I realize my mouth already has spilled the truth.


"Oh."


He stays silent after that for while, we finish and leave the cafe, get on his bike, it is already passed seven so without any further delay we decide to head back.  


On the way home it is quiet, surprisingly he ride his bike a bit slower than earlier. He's been quiet since I told him I wasn't the one who asked him out, it's making my mind flood with questions. Is he upset? Did I hurt him? Why isn't he talking? Why am I so worrying about it?

"um Christian?" I ask after I climb down his bike. He doesn't reply, just looks at me. 


"Thank you, I had fun today."


"Me too. See you in school tomorrow?" Something is definitely wrong. He abruptly ends our conversation and kicks on his bike, before I know it he is already out of my sight. I feel like he desperately needed to get out of here.


He didn't wait to hear my reply.

"What happened? Where did he take you? Did you guys kiss? Do you-"


"Grace, calm down please. Let her at least come inside." Leah swats her forehead playfully. Gracie moans like she's been hit by a baseball bat. Drama queen.


"Guys, let me change, and let's have dinner together okay? Lee you're staying." Leah gives me a weird look before nodding slowly.


"What are we having? I didn't prepare anything you know." Gracie says rubbing her forehead.

"We'll just order something."


I am too tired to cook anything or help these two in preparing so it's better we just order and enjoy ourselves, besides I need to talk to them about happened at our date.

After I change and return to the living room, I join Gracie on sofa and lazily spread my body in it.


"I ordered Chinese, is that okay?" Leah asks throwing the phone on the cushion.


"Yeah." Gracie shouts over my voice. She's so loud.


"So what happened?" Lee asks scooting beside me and squishing her body between me and Gracie.


"Nothing, but there's something I need to talk to you guys."


"Nothing happened? Nothing?? Not even a kiss?"


Leah shush Gracie by shutting her mouth with her hand so I can talk. 


"He took me to a cafe calle-" 


I am cut off by a loud thud of door. Austin returns with his face flustered, hair messed up and a huge red mark on his bleeding cheek.


"Austin! Oh my god what happened?!" Gracie exclaims before I can and goes towards him and hugs him. What's got into her now? I mean it's okay worry about your cousin but she's acting like she's not just a cousin. 


I'm worried too but I know my brother, when he calms down he talks to me or at least that's what I think.


Gracie goes searching for first aid box while Austin settles down a bit. He's angry which is clear from the scowl on his face, it's not disappearing. I just sit beside him, staring worried at his wound, wondering who is it this time, who did he get into fight with.


"Austin-"


"Where have you been today sis?" He barks at me angrily cutting me off again, I notice his eyes are accusing me of something.


Wait a minute, did he find out about my date with Christian?


Shit
