Here's the long awaited "Surprise, Surprise," Sequel! Here is... "The Secret!"

And I'm sorry if this sounds similar to "Surprise, Surprise."

My life is perfect. I've got the boy of my dreams, all the friends I need, the best of families. But I guess I upset the balance. I mean, having a girl experience perfect happiness for two years really tilt that girl's life for disaster.

And boy, did I get disaster.

7:45 AM

It's way too early. Yeah, I know. But I couldn't be any more excited. First day of senior year.

"Whoa!" Mom laughs as I rush into the kitchen, already dressed and ready to go. I'm wearing a lilac shirt, a pair of jeans, and white sneakers. My hair is down and in a white headband, and around my neck is a locket with my family's picture, and a photo of my totally awesome, amazingly sweet, and oh-so-cute boyfriend.

Jack. Just the name makes me squeal.

"Honey, thinking about Jack?" Mom asks teasingly. I roll my eyes.

"Pfft, nooo," I lie, but since when did I become a better liar?

Mom chuckles. Just then, I hear the doorbell. "Gotta go, Mom," I call as I grab a breakfast bar and my bag and run out the door, into my boyfriend's arms.

"Hey," he says simply. Something jolts the back of my head. I ignore it, contenting myself with a quick peck on the cheek.

"Hi Jack. Ready to go?" I ask. He smirks. My stomach drops.

He offers his arm. "Shall we?" he suggests. I giggle as I take his arm, and we walk to his shiny red convertible.

8:00 AM

When I get to my new locker, I'm bombarded by my best girl friends.

"Wow, Beth! Did you get any tanner?" I comment. It's true. Beth's gotten darker.

"Maybe," she giggles.

"Pfft. So what, she got a tan. But guess what I got?" Mandy brags.

"What, another sunburn?" Grace teases. Mandy rolls her eyes

"No. A boyfriend!" she squeals.

"Really? Who's the lucky guy?" Julie asks nicely. A pair of arms wraps around Amanda's waist.

"Me," Brody answers, blushing. He gives her a little peck on her cheek.

"AWWW!" we giggle.

"I'll never get girls," Jack sighs playfully. "Hey Brody. Get any more muscle?"

"Nah. Don't want to attract girls, when I've already got my beautiful girlfriend," Brody shrugs. Mandy blushes.

Just then, the rest of the boys came. It was all guy talk about vacation, sports, and karate, while we girls just giggled on and on about random topics.

Then I picked up on something wrong. Mandy and Beth have become a little quieter since we got on the topic about parents.

"Hey, Mandy? Beth? What's up?" I ask, concern coloring my voice. Everyone stops.

"Uh..." Mandy blushes. Beth doesn't say anything, but just looks at her shoes.

"My... I mean... our parents are getting divorced," Beth finally says. A small tear works its way out of Mandy's eyes. We all hug her.

"Why?" Julie asks sympathetically.

"My dad was cheating on my mom," Mandy cries. We all "aww," and try to comfort her.

That's when I knew something was up. Something was about to change our lives. And fast, too.

12:00 PM

"You were SO checking that girl out!" Grace hisses under her breath.

"I was not! She bumped into me, tried to flirt with me, and I told her I had a girlfriend!" Jerry defends himself, his voice rising.

"Liar," Grace chokes out before she runs away.

"I'll get her," Mandy says, standing up and running after her. I sigh, It's been like this the whole day. I like Jace (that's their couple name) and it's hard not to remember the days when we were hanging out at the beach, Jerry and Grace dancing their hearts out, together.

"Relax, Kim," Jack mutters in my ear. He's been a bit edgy lately, especially around me. Shouldn't I be a little worried that Jack seems more... friendly than romantic? I mean, we've been dating for almost two years, now. And it's just not right.

I'm looking at Milton and Julie, Brody and Amanda, and Kevin and Beth, and they're all couple-y: giving each other gifts, . They've had arguments, yes, but... Jack and I haven't. We've known each other since sophomore year, and it feels like we've known each other forever.

Something's not right. And I think I know why.

1:00 PM

I'm heading to class when I bump into someone.

"Hey, watch where you're going," the guy says as he turns around. He's got brown eyes, and brown skater hair. He's wearing a leather jacket, black jeans, and dark sneakers, all of which seem like they've been through a lot. He was just covering the doors with graffiti.

"Sorry. You new?" I ask. He rolls his eyes.

"Course. You ditch school yet?" He asks.

"Um, excuse me? You barely introduce yourself and you ask if I ditch school on the first day?" I ask, my voice rising.

"Fine. Jeremy Woods. Now get out of my way," he says. He pushes me aside and leaves the school.

2:30 PM

"I'm so glad seniors get out early when they have a free period at the end of the day," Julie sighs in happiness.

"I-I know, right?" I reply, my voice feeble. Grace turns to me, her eyes a bit red and puffy.

"Are you okay?" she sniffles.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Just got this... ominous feeling," I deflect with a hasty, weak laugh. Although not altogether reassured, everyone pretends nothing happened, and gets in their cars.

Jack wraps his arms around me. "I'll see you tomorrow," he says, with a quick kiss on the cheek as he walks to his car.

"Hey, where are you going? You're my ride home!" I call out.

Jack shrugs. "I have something important to do right now. Could you walk home?" he puts on his puppy face.

"Fine," I groan. I can't resist that face. He smirks, and drives off.

I walk home, grumbling.

6:45 PM

"Ugh!" I yell, throwing another textbook on the ground. I've gotten too much homework. "Being a senior is hard!" I scream. Luckily, I'm the only one at home, since mom's at work.

Just when I decide to call Julie and ask for help, I get a text from Jack.

Um. This is going 2 sound awkward. But we're done. I decided I'm not in 3 with U anymore. CU 2morrow.

Jack

What?

What do you think? It seems so much more dramatic than usual. AND KIM IS OOC! ARGH! (throws keyboard at piano)
