Hidden Secrets

Chapter Six

"Okay..." Alex said, taking another deep breath. She felt like she was going to have a panic attack, and that could not happen when she was right in front of her boyfriend's house about to tell him something she'd been hiding. "1...2...3..." She pressed the little doorbell and waited.

Someone walked up behind her and asked in a snobbish voice, "Why are you here?"

Alex turned around and saw Steph standing behind her, giving her a weird look. Usually she would fire away with her comebacks but this girl made her feel like she wasn't important. Not a good thing. "Um," Alex said, willing the door to open. "I... I was just..."

"Whatever." Steph said, looking in the window to make sure her hair was perfect.

Jason opened the door, and smiled brightly. "Hi Steph! Hi Alex!"

Steph smirked at Alex. "See how he says 'hi' to me first? That's because I'm more important than you are."

"Or maybe it's because he's afraid of you." Alex shot back. Yes! My sarcastic-girl mood is back.

Steph looked away, she couldn't think of anything to say back to Alex.

Shane came into the doorway, hearing the girls' voices. One look at the both of them and he muttered, "uh oh."

Steph ignored them and ran upstairs, hearing Nate slam his door. Shane looked back and forth between Alex and Jason. Jason closed the door and stood there, unsure of what to do. Alex looked at the floor, this whole thing was making her feel weird.

"Why's Steph here?" Alex wanted to know.

That's it. Shane thought. I'm telling her that Steph is Nate's other girlfriend. Someday, he'll thank me for this.

"Steph is..." Shane began.

"Nate's girlfriend!" Jason jumped in.

Alex stared at Jason. "He's kidding right?"

Shane looked away, giving confirmation to Alex that Jason was right.

"Seriously?!" Alex said, her voice rising.

Jason nodded, oblivious to the fact that Alex's face was turning red and Shane was looking uncomfortable. Alex stomped up the stairs and into Nate's bedroom.


"Oh, hey Alex." Nate said, looking tired and unhappy. He didn't even care that both Steph and Alex were in his room at the same time. He saw Alex holding the wand in her hand and pointed it out. "What's that?"

Alex looked down and noticed the wand in her hand. She'd forgotten about it. Steph jumped up and ran out the door, giving Alex and Nate privacy. She didn't want to get involved, even though she kind of already knew she was.

Nate looked at Alex, wondering why she seemed so mad.

"I came here to tell you that I'm a wizard." She finally said, breaking the silence.

Nate thought that she was joking at first, but Alex pointed her wand at Nate's desk and the wand glowed. His eyes widened. "You're a wizard?!" He yelled.

Alex nodded.

"You're a wizard and you didn't tell me?!" He said, his face in shock and fury. "After all this time in camp and whole 7 years thing you didn't tell me that you're a wizard?!"

Alex gave him a look. "What about you, huh?" She asked, "You're the one who's also keeping secrets! Steph being your other girlfriend? I thought I was your girlfriend."

"You are!" Nate said, completely forgetting about Alex being a wizard.

"I thought I was." Alex said. "But then I found out about Steph from Jason. Jason!"

"Jason told you?" Nate asked, shocked. Jason didn't pay attention to this kind of thing. Romance wasn't part of his daily schedule!

"Yeah." Alex said, heading for the door. "He told me that Steph was your other girlfriend. Why didn't you just tell me? I could've waited! I could've understood!"

"I was going to tell you soon!" Nate answered, closing the door so Alex couldn't go. "I was afraid of what you were going to say!"

"We knew each other since we were 7 years old!" Alex yelled. "You think I wouldn't have understood?"

Nate stared at Alex.

"Well, I'm sorry." Alex said, opening the door. "But I can't go out with a person who's a liar." She went out and slammed the door, leaving Nate heartbroken.


"Steph." Nate said. "I can't do this anymore."

"Do what?" Steph asked, reaching up to touch one of his curls.

"Do this!" Nate said, getting up. "I can't go out with you anymore!"

"Are you breaking up with me?" Steph asked. "You can't do that! Only I can break up with you! And why are you anyway? Is it because of that Alex girl?"

"No! Yes! I don't know! Just leave me alone for a while, okay?" Nate said, pushing her out the door.

Steph stomped down the stairs, receiving a smirk from Shane.

"Did he break up with you?" Shane asked.

Steph gave him a furious look and walked out the door, slamming it. That was the second slam in an hour.

Shane shrugged. "I guess slamming doors is the new fashion."


"Hey mom." Alex grumbled, walking into the Sandwich Shop.

"What's wrong?" Her mom asked, concerned. "Sweetie, you look terrible!"

"Nothing." Alex said, walking into the lair.

"Well if you ever want to talk," Theresa said.

"Yes, I know." Alex replied, slamming the door.

"How did it go?" Mitchie asked.

"Mitch? What are you doing here?" Alex asked, surprised. Even though Mitchie knew about her being a wizard and all, she didn't expect her to be in the lair.

"I'm experiencing a real wizard training activity." Mitchie said, pointing toward Justin and Max. She looked at Alex. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"I can't talk about it here." Alex said, sitting down beside her.

"Did something happen between you and Nate?" Mitchie guessed.

"You guessed right." Alex replied, stuffing things into a random backpack.

"What are you doing?" Mitchie asked.

"I don't know." Alex sighed, covering her face with her hands. "Help me!"

Mitchie gently guided her into the house and up the stairs into Alex's room. "Okay, now tell me. What happened?"

"I don't think you want to know." Alex said, flopping on her bed.

"I'm your cousin." Mitchie said. "Of course I wanna know! Now talk."


Kinda short huh? But anyways... what'd you think of the drama? I know it was kinda like regular break-ups and everything, but hey, it's drama right? And it wasn't because of the old 'one girlfriend saw another girlfriend kissing boyfriend' right?
