'His secrets are... That Mike has Sha-lied to all you bunch of losers!' Lightning explained proudly, crossing his arms over his chest. Everyone at the table sat there in confusion, all staring at each other. Mike panicked. He felt his heart beating much faster, banging hard against his chest and felt like he was going to faint feeling a rush of cold air go through his body. Zoey's face still hang anger, but kept on listening to what Lightning was about to say next.
'Mike, has lived in an orphanage all his life in Toronto. It was only a few weeks ago that the loser got ado-pt-ied... Or whatever that word was...' Lightning continued having trouble saying the words. Mike stood there in shock, feeling like he just got pounded in the face. Zoey's eyes widened and her angered expression disappeared, she was standing there motionless exactly like Mike. The whole table gasped loudly murmuring to each other, all except Dawn and Cameron who both also stared at each other in shock. The two got up, running over to Lightning. Cameron started pulling on Lightning's arm saying 'Don't you dare continue to talk about my friend like that!' Dawn stood in front of Lightning, being quite annoyed.
'Your aura is disgusting at the moment. What do you have to say for yourself?' Dawn asked angrily staring up towards Lightning, while Cameron grunted with his pulling.
'I can do what I like, creepy-girl. And shrimp, let go of my arm!' Lightning told the two. He pushed Cameron off his arm and slammed him down onto the ground, hearing a loud crunch from his bones. Cameron grunted with pain and said weakly 'Is this... What pain feels l-like?' Lightning then kicked Dawn to the side, making herself fall and land on the ground with a thud, sliding up against one of the tables. Dawn squealed in pain. Mike gasped and said 'Dawn! Cameron!' almost running over to help the two.
'Nuh-Uh, you're not going anywhere! Because I have another secret to tell,' he said to Mike, glaring him straight into his eyes. Everyone at the table were too shocked to speak, all except Izzy who was smiling with delight.
'Lastly... Mike has some sort of special disorder...'
Mike stood there with thoughts pounding through his mind and his heart began to break into one million pieces.
'Lightning, please don't!' Mike complained.
'You know I will. He has a disorder known as... Multiple Personality Dis-Orr-dur...'
That was it.
Lightning told his secret.
Mike felt all those words slam straight into his face, filling his brain up with too much words, almost exploding with sadness. His eyes were too wide to do anything, except for a few tears ready to drip down his cheek, trying to hold them in. His heart exploded from his chest and onto the bottom of his stomach, shattering like pure glass.
'MPD is when you have different and weird personalities which can pop out at anytime. He doesn't do acting, those are his personalities! You guys were all so stupid to not see that,' Lightning continued, closing his eyes with proudness.
'M-Mike, is this true?' Zoey asked, looking straight towards him, staring deeply into his eyes.
'I can't lie anymore Zoey,' he sighed, staring down at the floor. 'It's all true,'
'So, you lied to me?' Zoey asked, feeling a force of rage bubble up inside of her.
'I-I did. I just didn't want you to think I was weird or-'
'You do realize we're your bestest friends! But sadly, you can't even trust me,' she replied yelling straight towards his face. Cameron and Dawn weakly got up, staring back at the two, feeling sad for the both. Everyone's faces at the table were still in the same position as they were before, waiting until what was to happen next.
'But, Zoey-'
'You know what? Just forget it, Mike,' Zoey replied with a loud grunt. Her fists clenched together, turning completely white which travelled through her body. She turned around and began to walk off out of the cafeteria, feeling too annoyed and upset to talk to anyone.
'Whoa...' B said in quiet tone from the table.
'Mike... Please tell me, are you alright?' Cameron asked Mike, waving his fingers in front of his face. Mike's eyes began to fill with tears and he disappeared out of the cafeteria, running as fast as he could. His legs picked up faster than usual, and sprinted further away down the halls to the front of the school. Meanwhile back in the cafeteria, Cameron and Dawn both had annoyed faces on.
'How could you! How could you!' Dawn shouted surprisingly, shocking everyone.
'You're just a big bully! So, get out of here!' Cameron muttered glaring towards Lightning. Lightning gave a small mimic of Cameron's tone and walked out of the cafeteria.
'So wait… what exactly is MPD?' Trent asked with curiosity. Cameron sat down and then began to explain everything to the group at the table. At this time, Mike was at the front of the school seeing the gates that held people in and the others out. His tears were streaming down his cheek, sniffing as every little drop came. He grabbed onto the gates bars, putting his feet on the side and started climbing up with his good grip of the hands. He tried his hardest not to fall, but had trouble because he couldn't see properly because of his tears. He finally reached the top, then jumped down into a bunch of small bushes that were below. That was when Mike ran as fast as he could, seeing the school in the distance.
'Will I anyone worry about me? Maybe,' Mike thought to himself as he ran further down the road.
'Will I get in trouble? Probably. Is this worth it?' Mike asked himself looking back towards the school one more time. 'Definitely,'
'Hey mate! Where are weh going?' Manitoba Smith asked talking through the mind.
'I'm running away from home,' he replied, turning one of the corners and stepped onto the pavement.
'That's so stupid! Why are you doing that?' Vito asked, perking in.
'Because, of all of you! You guys a ruining my whole life!' he yelled back in his head, making the other personalities gasp in shock.
'What de zwe ever do! I made you look like an amazing gymnazzzzt!' Svetlana complained.
'You guys all messed up life! That one girl I love, now hates me. All I ever wanted was a girl to *sniff* like me... I-is that so h-hard?' Mike yelled back, giving a loud sniff while running around the corner down the main streets. He dodged the few people on the pavements, carefully avoiding them with his every move. He passed the local supermarket, without trying to show signs of his facial expression to be upset. Mike jumped across the path, moving across the ground freely and loose like feeling the cold wind run against his body.
'W-why... Can't I just ever be normal!' Mike asked himself in his mind, looking straight towards the ground passing him as he ran.
'Why...'
Zoey's thoughts ran through her mind, like a bunch of angry flies buzzing in the hot, Summer's heat. Her fists were clenched tight together, which began to start sweating very slowly. Zoey rushed down the school halls and headed straight into the bathrooms, running into a cubical and locking the door. She sat on top of the toilet, hugging her legs tight and felt the tears burst out. The slowly dropped from her eyelids and landed on her knees, soaking the fabric of her pants.
'Why... D-did Mike have to lie to me? Does he not trust me!' she whimpered, trying to think everything through. 'I can't believe he couldn't tell me. A-and after all the trouble I've been through... This happens!'
She shut her eyes tight, making sure no-one was in the bathrooms that was until she heard the bathroom door click open. Zoey froze, perking her ears up and wondering who had come into the bathroom.
'Aw yeah, baby! Time to freshen up!' another girl yelled to herself, just outside Zoey's cubicle. She slowly opened the toilet door, looking through the small gap of the ajar door. Standing there in front of the mirrors, was Anne Maria, carefully applying mascara.
'Oh-no! My poof's messed up too! I need my emergency hairbrush,' Anne Maria told herself, putting the mascara bottle away. She reached into her hair, grabbing out a hairbrush while Zoey watched her, trying not to say a word. While Anne Maria was brushing her hair, she looked into the mirror. In the mirror, she could see there was someone peeking through the cubicle door. Anne Maria turned around and said 'Hey! Who's in there!'
Her hand reached out and opened the door, while Zoey moved back a few steps and turned her head away.
'Oh, it's you, Red,' Anne Maria groaned, dragging Zoey out of the cubicle.
'Ew! Your face looks terrible! All puffy and red,' she said in disgust. Zoey stared angrily back at the Jersey Shore reject and glared directly at her.
'Whoa, sor-ee! I didn't mean it like that,' Anne Maria quickly told Zoey, and continued to brush her hair.
'You! Your that person who messed the whole thing up!' Zoey shouted, her eyes almost full of rage. Her fists were clenched tightly together and she leaned forward over to Anne Maria, who stepped back a few steps.
'Look! I'm sorry, how was I supposed to know you liked that guy? I only liked him for his personality; Vito!' she replied. Zoey's face became more full of anger and she stared directly at Anne Maria.
'You ruined everything! You just made everything worse!' she yelled, making the words bounce of the bathrooms walls and hearing repeated echoes.
'Alright, it wasn't my idea, okay? It was Lightning. He wanted me to help him. I said no at first, but then he said he'd give me fifty bucks. So... That's what basically happened,' Anne Maria replied, trying to calm the red-head down. Zoey's anger toned down, and she looked at Anne Maria suspiciously.
'I know it was partly my fault too, but Vito, he's hot! Don't worry, I don't like Mike so I'll stay away from him. He's all yours,' Anne Maria explained.
'The problem is, I'm not sure if I can trust him anymore... He lied! I-I couldn't believe it!'
'But honey, you see, sometimes you have to lie. C'mon, I've bet you've had a few secrets,'
'But-'
'You've had to have a few secrets,'
'Y-you're right. Thanks a lot, I've had quite a few secrets actually...' Zoey replied.
'See! Now imagine if you were Mike, that'd be so annoying. Lived in an orphanage? Has MPD? Got bullied most of his life?'
'Oh my gosh. I-I see now... Wow. I never thought of that before, thanks so much!' Zoey said with a smile.
'Hey, no problem. This is probably the first time I've helped someone out properly,' Anne Maria laughed. Zoey giggled back, but then she gasped in shock.
'Where's Mike now!'
