"Harry, It's getting late. Shouldn't we head back now?" I ask.
He looks lost. I place my hand on his shoulder and shake him. "Harry?"
He turns and looks at me. His eyes grow wide. "Daria?"
"W-what?"
He seems to wake up from a dream. "You urm, remind me of my mom. D-Daria." he says awkwardly, trying to cover up something. A lie, perhaps?
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"About what?"
"You said your mom and dad died in a fire."
Something silver catches my eye and I'm suddenly reaching for the thin chain around his neck.
My actions surprised him. He seemed almost, afraid. I pulled out the chain and at the end of it was a St. Christopher medallion.
"It was my mothers." he says.
"It's beautiful." I look back up to him. His eyes were full of pain. His jade eyes becoming lighter than before.
Before I knew it, the both of us leaning in, unable to stop. We were inches apart...
*buzz*buzz*
I almost jump off the fence, but before I do, Harry grabs me.
"Thanks." I blush.
I pull my phone out of my back pocket. A phone call from Bradley. I slide the lock and hold the phone to my ear. "Hello?"
"Samantha Marie Ford! Where in the world could you possibily be at 12am!"
"I-I thought you were in Bradford!" I whisper, knowing I had been caught.
"I am. I called the house and no one answered. I called our neighbors next door to come and check on you." his tone hard and serious. I can see his face now. Brows creased, eyes locked ahead. I could even hear the slight tapping of his foot. "Where are you."
"I took a walk." I look over to Harry. "To clear my mind."
I hear him take a deep breath. "Please go back to the house, lock the doors and stay safe."
"Yes Bradley. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Then he was gone.
I look back at Harry. Any sign of the pain his face once displayed, was gone. His quick transition frightened me.
"I'll walk you home." he says coldly.
On the way home, he doesn't say anything to me and I don't say anything to him.
We reach my driveway and I see my neighbor, Mrs. Mary Ann sitting on my porch.
"Oh, gracias señores!" she says.
"Samantha, you nearly gave me a heart attack. And who is your friend?" she asks with a warm smile.
I can feel him glaring. I look back and sure enough he is. He steps into the street light and that causes Mary Ann to tense up. She grabs the cross around her neck.
"Diablo! Diablo! Vete criatura de la oscuridad!" She yells as she backs away, running for her house. I give Harry a questioning look but he shrugs it off.
"What did she say?"
He stares off at her door. Jaw set tight. "I don't know."
"Well thanks for walking me home."
With a nod of his head, he sets off down the street, towards the woods. I watch him disappear into the thick green trees. Without another word, I walk into the house. I shut all the lights off and go to my room. I set out my laptop and log into twitter.
Harry is different outside of school. He's cold and demanding. In school, he's charming and cheeky.
I start to wonder about what Mary Ann said. I typed in, "Diablo! Diablo! Vete criatura de la oscuridad!" on google translate. My eyes widen at the answer.
"Devil! Devil! Go creature of darkness!"
Looks like im not the only one with a secret...
