The time I have dreaded so far, has arrived.

Attending a new school.

I woke up a little earlier this morning, thinking about how today may turn out. I cringed a little at the thought of standing infront of other students, doing introductions.

It's all awkward, that's all.

You just never know what to say, even when the teacher doesn't make you say alot of things. You find yourself overthink about how other students may perceive you, the minute you stand infront of them.

It may sound silly, but it always sticks like a sore thumb, the whole ' May they never find me weird,' thing.

As I stare myself in the mirror, I shove an unwanted childhood memory to the back of my mind, not wanting it to ruin my morning. It's when some kids were quite mean towards me, just because I was quiet.

I never blended in well with them and I didn't feel like putting in the effort, especially when they did things I didn't want to do.

" It'll go well." I mumble to myself, patting down invincible crease

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   21: Strange, very strange.

    IN THE LAND OF THE BLACK SHADOW PACK....She had looked at him with different eyes than the ones he had gotten used to.He'd started to ease into her welcoming and familiar gaze, but not this. Again, she became guarded. He could feel the non-existing wall building on top of the one that had already been there. That clearly bothered him and he couldn't deny it.Thankfully, none of those around him that noticed, mentioned anything. It hung dry in the air.When he'd introduced her as a friend to his father, he'd realised after some time that he meant it. In the beginning, it had come as a surprise to both of them but it didn't feel out of place. Time had been short, he hadn't known her for long and yet, being around her felt like he was meant to be in her presence. The heir of the Black Shadow Pack, who had faced some of the worst experiences known in their world, was bothered so much by the way a new comer in town had looked at him. It should have not lingered in mind and marinate itse

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   20: You've got me.

    ' Am I just unlucky?' " Casey?" I flinch in surprise when a hand makes contact with my shoulder.The many thoughts that had crowded my head, have now ceased.I look up behind me and meet Ethan's concerned eyes. " Call your mom back baby. I'll walk out officer James." He says, with my phone in hand.Mom called and I didn't even hear it? Where is my head right now?" Okay." I take it and start scrolling through it." Hey?" I look at him again. " Would you like me to take you home instead? Maybe you want us to call off------" I shake my head no, " I want to stay here with you." Despite the turnout from tonight, my weekend plans with Ethan remain the same." Okay," he kisses my forehead. " I'll be right back." He says against my skin." Hmm." I nod, watching him leave until he disappears from view.I take a moment to prepare myself, for the call I'm about to make.When I'm ready, I press the call button. On the third ring, she answers.The conversation with my mother is not long. From

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   19: You can trust me.

    "I can't believe you wanted to take her to your place," A male voice says in amazement.Whoever that might be, sounds familiar to me."Saving her life, that's all I thought about. Location was the last thing on my mind." Another person responds, male and again familiar.Two people are present in the room with me, possibly on either side of me. Their voices come from each side, confirming what I'm thinking.There is back and forth forty talk happening. I can't open my eyes at this very moment but my ears catch on to the words shared between the two people." It would have upset him." ".....""You, taking charge like that, knowing that it concerns...." "I know....' Silence. ' And I wouldn't have blamed him."" But you would have gone ahead with it anyway, wouldn't you?" " ......"" As your friend, I need to tell you when to take a step back." I hear a warning in there. " And you're telling me now?" " I am." A moment of silence passes as I come to the realisation of who, is in the

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   18.Her Life

    "Is there a problem here?" Ethan! His voice breaks through the iced tension that we are all captured in. "Not at all." The answer comes from the guy who had troubled me. I see the veins visible on the guy's neck, his posture much more tense as he glares down at Ethan's necklace. It's different, unfamiliar to me. " We were only passing by." A cold shiver runs through my spine when he passes a look my way for a moment. I want to go to Ethan but I decide to remain in place. I feel like I shouldn't, not right now. I let out a sigh of relief when the green eyed stranger with his friends, walk past. I feel Alan's hand gently push me more behind him, when that guy attempts to walk a little too close to me. We all stand in place, not moving for some time until they have gone. With the coast clear, I step out from behind Alan and turn to Ethan. His eyes are already on me. An unreadable emotion passes through his eyes, his face all serious as he stands there watching. Something tw

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   17. A Warning.

    It's finally the weekend and I am seriously looking forward to later.I wish I could say it was the excitement that woke me up early, tossing and turning in bed, but no.Last night, the interaction between mom and that nameless man, refused to leave my mind.My mother's behaviour, made me even more curious about her interaction with that man. In my view, he was crowding her. He made her feel uncomfortable. The surprise that appeared on her face when she saw me, didn't scream the good kind of surprise.I sensed that she wish I hadn't shown up last night, at that particular moment. In other words, she wished that man didn't see me.There is something off about that man, whoever he is.He instigated some weird tension between mom and I, last night.Downstairs, I take in a breath as I prepare to talk to mom. I can't let last night go, not when it's a constant thing replaying in my mind. Walking into the kitchen I see her standing by the sink, looking out the window with a cup of tea in ha

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   16: The Meeting.

    I had lost myself in the art again.It felt good, really good.I felt myself smile at times as the brush caressed the easel.This was the life, this moment right here.Art had been another way to speak without words, an expression of the voiceless.I was young when art found me and I never looked anywhere else again. Uncle Johnathan had encouraged me the most, to treasure the love I have for the art.' I believe it's something you were born with, an inheritance possibly.' I'd caught on to those words.Now that they replay in mind, I wonder whether one of my parents was possibly an artist.And if so, I wonder what kind of artist they were.What was their story?After that horrific night, I stopped touching the paint brush.My vision centred around the attack and that deprived me in some sense. Fear had prevented me from doing most things and I felt drained. The journey to the now wasn't easy because all around me, darkened.Without an inch of light.In this moment, I feel light. I ha
