《Secret Lovers》


 New Day, New Student

    I was sitting in the rain kissing this handsome guy with the most beautiful eyes when he said to me ¡°Let¡¯s run away together.¡± My heart stopped as I looked into his mysterious green eyes and said ¡°I would run away with you any day.¡±. On one hand I did want to run away with him, and on the other hand I also had so much here.¡±Come with me to New York. We can live the rest of our lives together.¡± he said. I was about to say yes when..


    I woke up to my noisey alarm. I forgot all about school. I got out of bed and started rummaging through my drawers to find some jeans and a tee shirt to wear. Who was that boy I saw in my dream? He was so handsome and mysterious. I just wanted to run away with him.


    I heard my phone buzz so I picked it up to see a text from Bianca. The text read ¡°Girl, there¡¯s a new guy at school and he¡¯s in our class!¡±. I texted back with ¡°What does he look like?¡±.


    As I waited for a reply I started to get dressed. I put on a tee shirt with the band Queen''s logo and a pair of black jeans with rips around the knee area.


    My phone buzzed once more and I read the text from Bianca which said ¡°He has green eyes and he¡¯s tall and handsome with black hair.¡±. I paused as I thought to myself, he couldn¡¯t really be the boy I was dreaming of could he? No, that¡¯d be too ridiculous. But then again, this was one hell of a coincidence.


    I rushed downstairs to grab my backpack and went outside to wait for the bus. When I got on the bus, I saw the boy of my dreams. He had mysterious green eyes and silky black hair with the sweetest smile I had ever seen.


    He immediately noticed me looking at him and waved at me. I blushed redder than a tomato and went to find a seat on the bus. It was overly crowded today. I sat across from the handsome boy and tried my hardest not to be obvious about looking at him.


    He turned his head towards me and said ¡°Name¡¯s Axel but you can call me yours.¡±. Did he just flirt with me?! I shook my head and said ¡°My name is Mia but you can call me out of your league.¡±. What did I just say?! I just said I was out of his league! I am so dumb its so obvious he could easily pull me.


    He giggled and said ¡°We¡¯ll see about that.¡±. I thought I was about to faint. Did he just say what I thought he said?


    The bus stopped and we started unloading off the school bus. When I got off I started to walk towards the gym for athletics when someone said ¡°boo!¡± from behind me and startled me. I looked back to see Axel smiling softly at me. I rolled my eyes and walked off.


    When I showed up to athletics I couldn¡¯t help but notice everyone seemed to be whispering to their friends. I went up to Bianca and asked what everyone was talking about. She said ¡°That new kid is a famous singer from New York.¡±. New York?! Okay now this was getting way too similar to my dream.


    Axel walked into the gym and everyone looked at him immediately. I noticed a few girls were fangirling. Axel walked straight towards me and said ¡°Hey ¡®out of my league¡¯, if it¡¯s still okay to call you that.¡±. I opened my mouth to speak but quickly shut it as I turned red. He giggled and waved at me as he walked away. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.


    Bianca looked at me and said ¡°I see you¡¯ve already met him then, so tell me, do you think he¡¯s cute?¡±. ¡°He¡¯s not bad.¡± I said with a sly smile. Bianca rolled her eyes and took my hand as we walked into the locker room to get changed into our athletic clothes.


    All the other girls were giving me dirty looks. Surely it wasn¡¯t because Axel chose to talk to me and not them, right? But why would they be so jealous? Right, I forgot he was some famous singer from New York.


    I walked into the gym wearing my gym shorts and low cut top. The coach blew his whistle and said ¡°Today both the boys and girl will be running together, the first five to finish running two miles won¡¯t have to do tomorrows workouts.


    I smirked. I was one of the fastest students here. I could run a mile without resting. I noticed Axel was looking at me. I smiled shyly at him and started to jog outside to the track with everyone else.


    I got in position and waited for the coach to blow the whistle. When he blew the whistle some girl behind me shoved me, knocking me over. Axel had seen what happened and jogged over to see if I was okay. He kneeled next to me and asked ¡°You okay cutie?¡±. I rolled my eyes and smiled as he held his hand out for me. I took a hold of his hand and got on my feet.


    Me and Axel ended up running together and being the second and third person to finish. I shook his hand and said ¡°Thanks for checking on me back there.¡±. He nodded and grabbed my hand and took me to the nurse. Was he holding my hand?! I just knew those girls were gonna be even angrier now but I didn¡¯t care.


    He looked exactly like the boy I had seen in my dreams, he was even from New York too. I knew that I wanted him then. But I also knew that school life wouldn¡¯t be easy especially with the fangirls who are obsessed with him.


    I sat on a chair to rest while Axel looked through the nurses drawers for a band-aid. I giggled and told him I¡¯d be fine without one. ¡°Ahah¡± he said as he pulled a band-aid out of one of the drawers. He kneeled down next to me as he put the band-aid on my knee. He then looked up at me and said ¡°This might sound weird but, I had a dream of a girl exactly like you last night. Crazy right?¡±.


    ¡°Actually, I had a dream about you last night, so I don¡¯t think you''re crazy.¡±. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. ¡°Maybe we¡¯re meant to find each other and-¡±. ¡°Run away to New York, yeah I know¡± I said. He smiled and took my hand. "Well, I can definitely see you as my wife.". I blushed and shook my head as I stood up. ¡°Now you do sound crazy.¡± I said. ¡°Says the one who had a dream about me.¡± he said. ¡°Yeah well you had a dream about me too.¡± I said. ¡°But I¡¯m not denying it could be reality.¡± he said.


    I giggled and waved as I started to head to my next class. I saw him smirk out of the corner of my eye as I walked away. I couldn¡¯t believe he had  the same dream I did. Maybe we really were meant to be? No, that¡¯s just a fairytale. Then again he did seem like he¡¯d make a good prince charming. Ugh what was I thinking?


    As I walked to class I noticed people looking at me strangely and whispering in people¡¯s ears. Were they talking about me? I quickly walked to class with my head down.


    I walked into my social studies class to see more people staring at me. I sat down in the back and opened my textbook waiting for class to start. And there he was, Axel walked into class and the girls went ballistic trying to flirt with him. He ignored them and came and sat next to me. Again? Why was he so obsessed with me? There were much prettier and smarter girls here.


    I must have said that out loud because he said ¡°Yeah but you¡¯re the girl of my dreams, literally.¡±. I covered my mouth as I turned red. I put my head down in embarrassment. It was going to be a long day.


    After what felt like years school finally ended. I had gotten every type of dirty look there was today. When I tried to sit next to Axel on the bus someone threw a ball of paper at my head. Axel gave the girl a dirty look and made room for me to sit next to him. I smiled and calmly sat next to him. He must have noticed some girls were getting jealous because he held my hand and smirked at me. Was he trying to get me killed?!


    I waved to Axel as I got off the bus and ran inside my house. I immediately went up to my room and jumped onto my bed. Today was such a crazy day.


    I convinced myself to get up and take a shower. While in the shower I couldn¡¯t stop thinking about Axel. We had seen each other in our dreams and were getting along so well. Could he actually like me. I barely knew him but I already knew I was in love with him. Did he feel the same way? No, of course he didn¡¯t. But then again he did kind of act like it.


    I got out of the shower and looked at myself in the mirror to try and see what he might see in me. A girl with acne and messy hair? I decided to just shake it off and wait for tomorrow.


    I studied for a good two hours before I finally decided it would be best to go to sleep. I layed down and stared at my ceiling. Tomorrow will be normal, I told myself.

 Second Day, Second Thoughts

    ¡°Yes!¡± I exclaimed. He hugged me tightly and said ¡°I¡¯m already packed, all I need is you.¡±. I excitedly kissed his soft lips. ¡°Let me just grab a few things,¡± I said. He nodded and I ran inside quickly to grab some clothes, my rings, and the hoodie he gave me. I ran back outside but when I went to get in his car..


    I woke to my noisey alarm again and sighed. What did these dreams mean? I looked at the picture of my mother on my bed stand. I missed her so much. Her dream was to become a famous fashion designer and go to New York. Huh, funny coincidence considering my dreams and Axel. I blew the pictures of my mother a kiss and got up to see a text from an unknown number on my phone. It read, ¡°Hey pretty girl, it¡¯s me Axel from school. Bianca gave me your number so don¡¯t worry I¡¯m not stalking you. Cya on the bus!¡±. Axel had my number now?! And he called me pretty?! I certainly didn¡¯t agree with him but I did love the compliment.


    I quickly threw my hair in a messy bun and chose an outfit. I decided to wear some jean shorts and a crop top today. Was it too much? Nah, it¡¯s perfect.


    I grabbed my bag and stood outside to wait for the bus. When the bus arrived, I could see people staring at me through the tinted windows. Looks like these fangirls were angry about yesterday. I smirked and walked on the bus to see Axel sitting in the back. I walked to the back of the bus while getting dirty looks but I ignored them. Axel greeted me with a gentle smile and motioned for me to sit next to him.


    Even if everyone else on my bus hated me, at least Axel would let me sit with him. He seemed like the sweet but ambitious type. His silky hair looked perfect today. He must have noticed me looking at him because he kissed my cheek and chuckled.


    ¡°What was that for?¡± I asked. ¡°For being so cute.¡± he said with a smile. I was turning red again. Why was he so flirtatious with me? ¡°Did you have the dream too?¡± he asked. ¡°What dream?¡± I said. ¡°Where you told me yes and we got ready to run away?¡±. ¡°Oh, yeah I did. Wait, you did too?!¡± I said. He nodded.


    We were having the same dream again? This couldn¡¯t be a coincidence. ¡°You don¡¯t think it means something do you?¡± I asked him. ¡°Well I would hope that it''s true we¡¯ll be together in the near future.¡± He said with that same soft smile. I smiled back at him.


    ¡°But what about all your fangirls? Wouldn¡¯t that anger them even more?¡±. ¡°I¡¯ll protect you¡± he said with a cheeky grin. I giggled. I believed him.

    When I got off the bus someone poured water on my head. This certainly wasn''t what I wanted to deal with today. Axel quickly put his coat around me and scared off the girl who poured water on me. I looked at him with a slight frown.


    He quickly made me smile by hugging me tightly. This was the best hug I had ever had. My mother had died during childbirth and my father was never around.


    Later that day in english class another girl ¡®accidentally¡¯ hit me in the face with her book. That was obviously a lie. These girls were starting to get on my nerves. Bianca never stood up for me at all, then again I didn¡¯t really expect her to, she cares more about her reputation than me.


    Axel, however, stood up for me in a heartbeat. He never hesitated either. Why did he care so much? Well I guess we are friends. But I wish we were something a bit more. Wait no, I don¡¯t think that.


    Do I? No, He¡¯s just a friend, I think.


    Axel started to hang around me at all times. He said his reasoning was so people couldn¡¯t pull anything and get away with it. He is definitely fitting to be my prince charming. What am I saying?!


    I wonder if Axel feels the same way. Well, I won¡¯t jump to conclusions. He may just be flirtatious. But his mysterious green eyes just pull me in every time. It''s almost impossible to not kiss his perfectly pink lips when I see him.


    Math class was a piece of cake today. We just did some basic algebra with partners. I guess it wouldn¡¯t be surprising to say I partnered up with Axel. After all, I have been around him a lot lately.


    I noticed Bianca was whispering with some other girls who had previously given me dirty looks or talked about me behind my back. Why was she talking to them?! Didn¡¯t she know what they did to me?! Of course she did, but she didn¡¯t care. As long as she still has a good reputation, nothing else matters.


    I put my head down on my desk and tried not to cry at the thought of my best friend talking shit behind my back. She didn¡¯t even try to hide it either. I was starting to tear up when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see Axel smiling at me. But when he noticed my tears he quickly stopped smiling and pulled my hair out of my face. He didn¡¯t ask any questions. It was almost as if he knew because he stared at Bianca and the girls she was talking to.


    I knew Bianca was going to be like that sometimes though. When we said we were ¡®friends¡¯, I knew it was more like I was her assistant. It¡¯s funny considering I¡¯m the one who helped her through so many hardships. But in the end, I don¡¯t matter to her anyways so what¡¯s the point of wasting my energy on her? Especially now since I had Axel to rely on and talk to.


    I stood up and immediately hugged Axel. He didn¡¯t say words, but I knew he was saying ¡°It¡¯s okay¡±. After what seemed like an hour of hugging him, the bell rang and school was out.


    The bus ride home was actually normal today. No one threw anything at me, no one gave me any dirty looks, it was decent actually. I laid my head on Axel¡¯s shoulder as I started to fall asleep. He tapped my shoulder to gently wake me up at my stop. I got off the bus and waved as the bus drove to the next stop.


    I went to my room and sat on my bed. I looked over on my bed stand to see the picture of my mother. ¡°I promise to make you proud¡± I said as I blew her a kiss. I wish she could be here to see me. Father never approved of anything I did. He thinks of me as a low-life honestly.


    Why was I having these dreams? Did they mean anything? I mean, how could both me and Axel dream about each other on both nights with the exact same dream?!


    I¡¯m too tired to think. Off to bed for me.

 Romantic Eyes, Romantic Lies

    I got in his car with a smile on my face. I couldn¡¯t help but stare at his mysterious eyes as we drove to the airport. When we arrived we rushed in to buy a ticket before my father realized I was gone. Within a matter of minutes we were boarding a plane to New York. We were just about to take off when..


    Again! My noisey alarm woke me up from my dream. Why did it always have to end when it was getting good?! No time to stress about it. I had to get ready for school!


    I dressed in a short black dress and put on some heels. I was excited for school today. I couldn¡¯t wait to ask Axel if he had the dream too.


    When I got on the bus I got a bunch of looks, not dirty looks , but more of a ¡°oooh¡± type of look. I went and sat next to Axel but he didn¡¯t speak. ¡°Did you have the dream too?¡± I asked. ¡°Yeah, but right now I¡¯m not worried about that. Someone spread a rumor about us dating.¡±. What?! Why would anyone think me and Axel were dating?! Well I guess we do hang out a lot but that doesn¡¯t mean anything!


    ¡°I mean I love the idea of dating you but I don¡¯t want you to be hurt by these rumors.¡± he said with the softest voice. I almost melted. His voice sounded so sweet and soothing. And his eyes, I was lost in the green.


    ¡°You okay?¡±. ¡°Oh yeah sorry just got distracted that¡¯s all.¡± I replied. He smiled as if he knew what I had been thinking about.


    Axel held my hand as he stared into my eyes and said ¡°We will make dreams reality.¡±. I blushed red and just stared at him. Did he really just say that? No way! I nodded my head and looked out the window as the bus came to a stop.


    I smiled at him as I got off the bus. Everyone looked at me as if I was new. Girls started coming up to me asking to be friends. When I asked why they always replied with something along the lines of ¡®because you¡¯re Axel¡¯s girl¡¯.


    When I explained me and him weren''t dating they would give me shameful looks and walk off. Why would they want me to date him? Weren¡¯t they obsessed with him? What were they thinking?


    I quickly headed to athletics to see everyone looking at me. Some looked jealous, and others looked shocked. I ignored most of the looks I got. It was almost funny to see girls jealous of me for once.


    I sat in the gym bleachers waiting for the coaches to announce what we would do today. After a short while Coach Rau blew her whistle and said ¡°Boys will be in the gym, girls you¡¯re in the weight room.¡±. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    I was pretty strong so I didn¡¯t really care that we were lifting weights. Most of the girls maxed out around ninety pounds but me and a few other girls lifted around one-hundred and fifty pounds.


    While in the weight room I noticed some girls smirking and then looking at me. Please don¡¯t tell me they¡¯re gonna pull another joke on me. Well it sure did look like it.


    When athletics ended and I went into the locker room to change, some girls took my clothes and ran off with them. Great, so I would have to wear my gym clothes to class. The worst part in my opinion was that people would be able to see the sweat marks.


    Axel saw me walk into class in my gym clothes and he immediately took my hand and led me out the classroom. ¡°Why are you wearing those?¡± he asked. ¡°Some assholes stole my clothes from my locker.¡±.


    Axel took off his hoodie and revealed his tank top and muscular arms. ¡°Wear this¡± he said to me as he handed over the hoodie, I smiled up at him and nodded as I put it on. His hoodie was really soft and comfy.


    Axel gave me a hug from behind and then led me back into the classroom. Now even more people were staring at me. I smirked for some reason, I still have no idea why I did.


    At lunch people kept asking me and Axel if we were dating. Everytime Axel would reply with ¡°We¡¯re just close friends.¡±. For some odd reason this made me sad. I didn¡¯t want to be just friends. Wait yes I did. I don¡¯t love him!


    People always gave the same disappointed look when Axel told them we weren¡¯t dating. Only a few girls seemed pleased with it. Did people want me and Axel to be together? Surely not.


    During my free period I went outside and sat on a bench by myself. Like normal, Axel came and sat next to me. Except this time Axel laid his head in my lap and smiled up at me.


    I smiled back at him and played with his curly, silky, black hair. He blushed a little bit and I giggled. I had never seen Axel blush or seem shy ever. He must have been tired because he fell asleep in my lap after about five minutes.


    The bell rang and it was time for math class. I decided I wouldn¡¯t wake Axel up, so I stayed with him playing with his hair as he slept. I couldn¡¯t help but think about if he was dreaming about us again. Probably not.


    I leaned my head back and started to doze off. When I did I started to see an image of a plane taking off. I quickly woke myself up and looked around. Was Axel having the same dream?


    The bell rang once more and school was out. I decided to let Axel sleep, again. He didn¡¯t live far from school. He only lived a few houses away from me. I could walk him home if I had to.


    After what seemed like an eternity Axel finally woke up. ¡°Where is everyone?¡± he asked. ¡°School¡¯s over, let''s go home.¡± I told him. He smiled at me and took a hold of my hand.


    On our walk home he told me to keep his hoodie because I might need it on the plane for when I get cold. I blushed because I knew what he was referring to. These dreams were driving me crazy.


    We arrived at my house and just as I was about to wave goodbye Axel said ¡°Meet me at CinemaGrill tomorrow at eight!¡±. I nodded my head and walked inside my house. I ran up to my room and rummaged through my drawers to find a cute outfit for tomorrow. After about ten minutes of searching I picked out my best pair of blue jeans and a shirt with the school mascot on it.


    I decided to study for a while. I was hardly able to focus, Axel was still on my mind. What if these dreams actually did become reality?


    Shit, it was almost time for bed. I quickly took a shower and got in some pajamas. I was about to sleep when I heard my phone buzz. I had a text from Axel. The text read ¡°Goodnight Mia, cya tomm.¡±. I smiled and wrote back ¡°Night.¡±.


    I laid my head down to sleep. Tomorrow was gonna be great.
