Dark Truths Revealed

CHAPTER 28

CAROLINE'S POV

It was the next day. After basically balling my eyes out to Damian I had eye bags around my eyes. My nose was red... Actually, my whole face was red. I put some concealer on my face to hide my zombie look right now. After all of that concealer my face looks like my normal self. I took my backpack and walked out. I locked the door and walked out and a car stood in front of me swiftly. I saw Damian in there...

"Caroline come in"

I walked towards the car.

"I'll be walking with..." I trailed of.

I just remembered that no one was going to walk with me. Damian gave me an apologetic look and unlocked the door. I hoped in with a smile on my face. I'm not gonna drown in my sorrows as they take 'a break'. I'll take a break too. And be happy!

...

"Have you eaten?" Damian asked me

"Nope" I said popping the p

"You wanna eat something? There's still a lot of time left" he said looking at his watch.

"Yeah ok"

He drove to the diner. The Berry's Diner. My go to study area with...let's not think about them. The fries here are amazing! I could literally eat those everyday. But then I'll began to look like a potato so...no. As everyone says, you are what you eat. We entered and found a spot to sit.

"Um, we'll both have the chicken parm one with extra cheese, extra large fries and pink lemonade" he said to the waiter.

I looked at him. Once he realised I was looking he asked me 

"What?"

"You remembered my order?" I asked smiling

"Of course. I've been here with you for like 100 times" he said as the bus boy brought us the food

I stuffed my self with fries. I think I'm stress eating.

"Ya, but you came with me like 3 years ago" I said with a mouthful 

He laughed at me. Or should I say at my state.

"I'll always remember you Caroline" he said.

I smiled at him and continued stuffing myself with even more fries. But in the back of my mind I had this feeling as if he was flirting with me? No. Don't be dumb Caroline. He doesn't think of you that way.

ELLY'S POV

I woke up the next day, with my head pounding and my body aching. I haven't came out of the room the whole day yesterday. I feel awful, I look awful, I probably sound awful too. I cleared my throat and entered the bathroom. I did my business. After all of that was done, I wore an oversized hoodie and a pair of leggings. I know, nothing stylish. I just want to be comfortable today. I have enough things to worry about and let's not add to that. I walked out with my bag pack and saw a familiar car driving off. It was Damian's and Caroline was in it. I heaved a sigh as I saw the car disappearing from my eye sight. I walked and walked only to bump into none other than Nick. I rolled my eyes.

"What are you doing here? Are you following me?"

"Um, dont give yourself too much credit, I also go to the same school. Therefore same direction. I do flirt but I dont find a person to flirt with. " I rolled my eyes again.

"I beg to differ" I said 

We ended up walking together.

"So look like you're being comfy today" he smirked

"Nicholas, it would be much appreciated if you shut up" I spatted

"Not gonna happen" 

"GOSH" I screamed

"Woah there. When did you become a banshee" 

"A what now?" I asked hearing the unfamiliar word.

"A Banshee. The predictor of death. Gosh Elly. For a smart person you sure don't know much" he said dramatically shaking his head in disappointment.

"Just walk" I glared at him

He raised his hands up in surrender and we continued walking with a smirk on his face.

...

PHOEBE'S POV 

I reached school with Mike. He walked with me today. As I reached the field for cheerleading practice I saw Elly stretching at one corner with Juliane and Katie, the other cheerleaders. While Caroline was stretching by herself. Just looking at this made me feel dizzy. Mike squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. I sighed.

This is gonna be a long day.

...

I sat down with Danielle. She also joined cheerleading the same time as Caroline. Thinking of the time Caroline entered cheerleading brought a smile to my face. Danielle shook me and I came out of my trance.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked 

"Nothing" I answered briefly 

"So why aren't you sitting with Elly and Caroline? And why are they sitting separately?" 

My body tensed up at this question. I'm not sure if I was ready to share this with her. But she has always been supportive of me and have always been a good friend. She's not one to gossip either. So I think it's safe. Right?

"You don't need to tell me if you don't want to" her voice cut me out of my inner argument.

"Um... maybe some other time" I replied 

"Yeah, sure. But you really don't need to tell me if you don't want to" 

"No I want to share it with someone. And you honestly, will be the perfect person. But...I just...need time"

"Yeah, no problem." she said giving me a reassuring smile.

At the corner of my eye I saw Caroline standing up and walking towards the audience sitting section. Whatever you call that. I saw Damian sitting there with a smile on his face. Caroline sat beside him and was talking something to him. I have no idea what they were talking. But what I do see, is that Nick is feeling incredibly jealous of those two. I'm pretty sure Caroline doesn't see either of them as her boyfriend. And I cant imagine that either. But I'm also pretty sure that both of them are simping over her. They are falling hard.

I rolled my eyes at her fortune. There we go again with her perfect life. With two guys who basically follow her like lost puppies. And the best part... she doesn't even realise it!

They were talking for a while when a tiny little rock hit Caroline's head. At the same time I heard Jane and her minions laugh. Caroline glared at them and made her way towards them. Nick was already walking towards her and Damian's face was practically red. I looked over at Elly and our eyes met for just a second. I watched all of them in horror.

Ouh boy...
