Chapter 7: Secrets

Heather awoke the next morning, and quickly got out of bed, took a shower, and straightened her hair. Then she went over to her closet, hoping to find the perfect outfit for when she went out with Craig after school today. After 15 minutes, she decided on a black puffy mini skirt and a pink Hurley top with hot pink converse sneakers. She grabbed her ipod from the dock, her pink and black messenger bag, and the directions Emma had given her for the Dot earlier in the day.

'Never thought I would need these.' Heather though, staring down at the directions while walking to the door and grabbing a pop-tart on the way out.

The day in school went by slowly. Heather had met Craig by her locker in the morning to get the song lyrics that morning, and now she was sitting in 7th period...MI..with Sean looking over her shoulder at what she was reading. She had finally gotten around to reading the lyrics, and they were so amazing. Heather wondered who he was talking about. Suddenly, an IM popped up on the computer she was using.

NelsonE07: what are you reading heather?

MoenaH07: just something craig gave me earlier.

NelsonE07: oh. Craig? Do you like him?

MoenaH07: idk yet, I just met him and all..but he seems nice, and hes into music, so I might, idk, I'm meeting him at the dot after school.

NelsonE07: oh. Well ask him about his past. Hold on, I'm going to connect you and do a chat with Manny. Do you want me to invite Sean too?

MoenaH07: yeah, I want a friend in there.

NelsonE07: ok

Then, a chat invitation came up on the screen. Heather entered.
