Alfie's Secret: Chapter 2
Alfie's POV
I walked up to Jerome. "Where were you between classes?" I asked him.
"Oh, you know, around," he answered, putting his hands behind his head.
"You weren't at you locker; you weren't at the house; you weren't in the hallway; where were you?" I asked again.
"I was at the bike shed, making sure all of our bikes were okay," he responded. Yeah, right, I thought.
"Really, Jerome. I know you don't care much about other people, especially other people's things," I said, taking my seat next to him.
Before he could answer, Amber turned around to face us and said, "Beau, I want to talk to you after class, okay?"
"Okay, Ambs," I said, fake smiling. She smiled back then turned around. I turned back to Jerome. "I thought we were mates,"
"We are mates," Jerome said.
"Then why won't you tell me?" I asked.
"Good morning, class!" Mrs. Andrews said.
"Morning," we all mumbled.
"I'll tell you after class. Meet me by my locker after you finish with whatever Amber wants you to do," Jerome whispered.
"Okay, we'll start off today with..."
~After Class~
"There you are! I was begining to worry!" Amber said as I approached her.
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked.
"Well, I wanted to know when we were going to go on our second date," she said.
"Oh, how about this Friday night?" I asked her as she took my hand.
"Okay!" she said, a little to loudly. A few people looked at us in the hallway.
"Okay, I'll see you later then," I said, giving her a quick peck on the cheek. I walked to Jerome's locker. He was waiting for me.
"Okay, tell me," I said.
"Come on," he said, walking toward the door. I hesitantly followed.
When we got to the bike shed, he said, "Over here." He pointed toward a tree nearby. He walked over to it and quickly jumped up, grabing onto a branch. He pulled himself up. bracing his foot on another branch. His other hand shot up to another branch, and he pulled up again. Then he pulled something out of his pocket and set it in a branch. Then, he jumped down and came back over to me.
"Slip of paper. I want to see if someone can find it," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Just because," he said, heading back in the direction of the school. I looked at the tree, the branch where he left the note. I looked back to Jerome. He would figure out I wasn't following him soon, so I decided I would come back. I hoped that whoever he really left that note for wouldn't have gotten it yet.
~After school~
I walked toward the bike shed. I wanted to find out what Jerome's note had said. When I reached the tree, I realized someone was climbing it, much like Jerome had. It was a girl. I couldn't tell who, though.
She pulled the slip of paper out and jumped down. She unfolded it and read it. Then she took out a slip of paper and wrote on it. Then she stuck it in the same place Jerome had put his. When she turned around, I dove into some bushes to hide from her.
After she was out of sight, I walked over to the tree and climbed it. When I reached the branch where her note was, I pulled it out and unfolded it.
It read, tonight? okay, let's meet at midnight. Wear something nice. -P
What?, I thought. P? Who the heck is P? Then something dawned on me. Could P be Patricia?
And that's it for now. This will probably be a 10 chapter story at the most.
