Secrets

Chapter 1

Jay pov

Today it was my 17th birthday and unfortunately for most of the day I was at school.

"Mum, dad I'm gonna go to school now I'll see you later" I shouted up to my parents, like usual no answer as my parents would always be in the garage doing something. So, I walked up to the end of the road to catch the school bus just like I would nearly every single day.

"Bro happy birthday" my best friend Kai said with a giant grin on his face and a wrapped git in his hand

"Kai, you shouldn't have" I said sarcastically

"Enough sarcasm open the present already" he said impatiently, slowly I opened the blue, slick, shiny paper to find a pair of silver num-chuks

"Dude these are amazing but I better put them in my locker before principal Wu finds them and then bashes me with his stick" Kai nodded his head in agreement

"Ok I'll see you in 1st lesson then" I waved him goodbye and ran off to my locker.

I had a pretty big locker it could fit 5 coats in it and had 3 shelves for my books and other pieces of junk, the outside was a dark shiny green. I put the num-chuks at the back and grabbed my books for the first 2 lessons, all of a sudden my locker door slammed shut right in front of my face by a slightly tinted orange hand

"Walker I see it's your birthday"

"And what do you want with it, Nadakan"

"All I have to say is Nya doesn't like you and she never will"

"Get away from me Nadakan I don't want to see you so just go away you over grown bully"

"Walker you really have out done yourself this time, why don't we take a trip to the toilets"

My arch enemy Nadakan had a tight grasp around my neck as I felt myself move around until we stopped and I heard a familiar voice say

"Nadakan put Jay down and no one has to get hurt"

"Hence if I were you I wouldn't act so tough"

"And if I was you I would put Jay down very carefully" I dropped to the ground with a big thud I looked up there he was with his jet-black hair and brown eyes kneeling down to help me up

"Thanks Cole, long time no see am I right"

"Jay I saw you yesterday you idiot, but happy birthday I got you a card with some money I'll give it to you in second lesson, until then"

"yeah bye" all these presents for me, I thought. There was 5 minutes until lesson 1 which to me was a very short time so I quickly ran to maths.

It was the end of the day already, I could go home and see all the presents I was going to get I was about to cross the road but then a motorbike and two people stopped in front of me one of them got off and took off their helmet, the girl had black hair trimmed perfectly into a bob and pale blue eyes with ruby red lips

"Nya, hey how are you" I said awkwardly

"I'm fine, so I heard it's your birthday and I wanted to give you this" she leant in close to my cheek and gave me a kiss, I could feel her warm lips against my cheek. I stood there in shock as she got back on the bike with the other person and drove away

"Out of all the gifts I've had today that was the best" I quietly said to myself and ran to catch the bus home.

"Mum, dad I'm home" I shouted this time there was a reply

"Son can you come in here we've got a surprise" my dad said, I dumped my bag at the bottom of the stairs and ran into the living room

"Ta da we hope you like it" my mum said excitingly, I looked down at a wooden basket and in the basket, was a golden Labrador with brown eyes it came up to me with its wagging tail and sat down right in front of me

"I love her, she's so cute I'm gonna call you Lightning Strike" I said to the Labrador

"it's a he dear to be correct"

"Lightning Strike can be a boy's name too" I said back still staring at the dog

"Son your mother and I need to tell you something which we know you won't like so take a seat in the chair would ya" my father said with full concern, I went and sat down in the old armchair opposite to the couch

"Son I don't know how to tell you this but 16 years ago we found a child at our doorstep and took him in, a year earlier your real mother abandoned you so the comity decided you needed a family and so a year later we had a child at our doorstep, that child was you"

"You mean I'm adopted, no this this can't be true"

"we're sorry son"

"No, I, I, I have to go to my room and don't even bother following me, come on Lightning Strike lets go" I left the room tears streaming down my face but they didn't feel like normal tears they felt like lightning. I grabbed my bag and ran up the creaky stairs to my room, I dumped out all the presents and cards onto the floor and jumped on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
