My Past Was Meant To Be Hidden

Bad Boy is talking to me?

I was sitting at the library desk, waiting for the new employee, Rose never said what time he would be here, today I'm wearing some gray shorts with a white top, gray cardigan and white converse, 'I'm sorry baby, they here after me' those words kept roaming around my head, someones voice made me jump and look up quickly

"Hello?" I smiled 

"Hello, how can I help you?" he had a bored expression on his face

"Yeah I'm the new employee, my mom made me get a job, so here I am" I nodded and passed him the piece of paper Rose gave me for him to sign, he lifted it up and signed it quickly and passed it back 

"so what do I do?" I nodded to a stock of books near a empty bookcase

"put them in order on the bookcase" he groaned then did as I said.

10 minutes later he sat next to me with a sigh

"well that was boring" I laughed lightly and he spoke again

"so whats your name?" 

"Ella, whats yours?" 

"didn't you read the paper?" I shook my head

"Rose the owner needs the paper not me, I'm just an employee like you" he nodded, thinking which gave me chance to actually look at him, he had brown hair that just went over his eyes, his eyes where chocolatey brown, he wore a white shit that showed of his muscles, a leather jacket, and some baggy black jeans, he looked like gangster, what the hell is he doing here?

"Drake, so your English?" I nodded

"did you just move here?" I nodded again

"do you go school?" 

"I'm starting on Monday and this place called 'Gala High'" he nodded

"that's where I go" isn't he gonna say whats its like? I waited a couple of minutes then realized he isn't going to say anything about the school

we stayed quiet for a few minutes until he spoke again,

"so do you want to play 20 questions?" I shrugged

"why did you move to America?" 

"I have a house here, so I might as well use it" he nodded accepting my answer and I sighed in relief,

"so is are school have cliche clicks?" 

"I guess" 

"so who are you?" he shrugged

"guess you will have to find out tomorrow" I groaned

"I'm not going to have to cope with annoying cheerleaders, threatening me am I?" he laughed

"most probably yeah, last new girl they made her unpopular after 5 seconds of talking to her, and made her cry in 10 seconds" I groaned again

"great" he stretched lazily, someone coughed making us both jump and look up to see a boy who looked out age but he looked nervous and was staring at Drake with a scared impression on his face, i smiled warmly 

"Can i help you?" he looked at me with a timid smile 

"Yeah i was wondering where 'the house of night' series are?" i smiled and looked at the computer and searched it,

"ill take you, and by the way do you read them?" he nodded

"my favourite books in the world!" drake spoke

"Gay!" i poked drake in the arm and he scrolled at me

"don't pick on him, its not like his sexuality is going to affect you" Drake raised an eyebrow

"did you just poke me?" i nodded 

"now be nice to the customers, why i take this customer to the books he wants" Drake glared at me again and i laughed

"stop being a grumpy arse" the boy next to me gasped, what does no one answer him back? why is he scared of him? oh well, i turned to the boy

"I'm sorry for his attitude and rude comment" the boy smiled 

"thank you, no one has stuck up for me before they all just take the mick out of me because I'm gay" i frowned

"well they're all idiots, i guess you go to his school two?" he nodded and spoke

"why?" 

"I'm starting on Monday, and now i know there is at least one nice person" the boy chuckled and put out his hand to shake

"I'm Jonah, nice to meet you...?"

"Ella, nice to meet you two also you have an amazing taste in books" he raised an eyebrow then smiled

"so do you have a lift to school Ella?" i nodded

"i do tomorrow morning but i have to walk for the rest of the days and after school" he thought for a minute

"so you want a lift from me?" 

"if you don't mind?" 

"Ella your the nicest person i have ever meet of course i would give you a lift" i hugged him happily, he laughed and hugged me back, i left him to read his books and went back to the desk, to see Drake asleep, i poked his face 

"Drake?" i patted my hand away as spoke 

"Ella, leave me alone" i sighed, my phone rang

"hello?"

"Cassandra?"

"Danny!" he chuckled as i put it on load speaker so i could put the phone on the desk

"so have you caught up on all the TV shows and that game on the computer?"

"no not yet, and no i have no computer anymore"

 "what! how can you not have a computer, look how about i buy you a apple mac and fly it over for you?" i gasped

"OMG i love you Danny your the best cousin in the world, well you and Hayden" he laughed, then his tone turned serious

"so how are you after everything that's happened?" i sighed and hesitated, trying to keep my tears in

"I'm okay, anyway remember you, Hayden and auntie Della can come anytime, i have spare rooms at my house"

"hows living alone working for you?"

"scary, what am i gonna do if a person brakes in, my dog will just run to them happily" he laughed

"i have to go Ella, ill talk to you soon and ill send the laptop tomorrow so it should be there in a few days"

"thanks and bye Danny" i ended the call and drake spoke

"your cousin sounds cool" i nodded, Rose came in and smiled 

"Hello you must be Drake, I'm Rose" he smiled at her and gave her the sheet he signed, she turned to me

"you can go now sweetie, i know tomorrows your first day at school" i stood and she kissed my cheek

"goodbye Ella" 

"Bye Rose, Drake" he nodded his head at me and spoke to Rose.
