《A Hidden Secret(Cancelled)》8: Embarrassing
Advertisement
The whistling of the cold, sharp wind passing across the fields of flat toned skin, flowing inwards of the mouth like a trap the raging wind fell for from a sudden inhale from the nose. Her ocean waves eyes stared at a lost figure she never thought could be such a monster, her irritated hands fold into a tight fist as she watches the lips of the boy speak about his broken past. Her heart started thumping more than normal as she feels her body create storms of weird sensations caused by strong sympathy.
His words that came out of his mouth sounded so numb and emotionless, but the explained story felt like a betrayed mind becoming rogue from the influence of fought wars. Ms Paden couldn't do anything but stay speechless from the sudden story Caden willingly told her.
Getting Caden to classes never mattered to Ms Paden anymore, all she thought about was giving this lost hope of a boy a comfy home he could live in for eternity no matter how much of a criminal he becomes.
Ms Paden's hands subconsciously ached their way onto the tip of Caden's shoulders that had millions of walls standing strong, and all of the walls had everything to describe his troubled personality. Even though Ms Paden heard Caden personally say he hates humans, she just couldn't disagree. All she could do was suppress the stabbing pain she felt throughout the story which felt like thousands of pages collapsing onto each other, rotting away from all the ongoing scars shredding the skin of a lonely teenager stuck in a time loop.
"That's..." Ms Paden squeezed out, but her lungs stomped her into the pavement and cancelled her vocals from holding in the urge to cry like a newborn baby in the middle of the night after experiencing its first nightmare.

"So, before you plan on assassinating me, allow me to tell my story to everyone so I could die a meaningful death." Caden howled quietly, faking a soft smile that felt more real than any genuine smile, Ms Paden just stared at a smile that could make such a monster a beautiful boy.
"I-I apologize for asking why you were nicknamed that...I didn't k-know you were in pain this much," Ms Paden started fumbling on her steady words where tears began to fall from her eyes like a rainstorm shouting its annoyance at the world for not listening.
Caden didn't respond to the sentence as he just tilted his head over to the tall mountains becoming a whirlpool from the clouds attaching and wrapping their non-existence body around the tip of where everyone figures themselves out after climbing one hundred feet of steep mountains. Then the sound of a clang caught his immediate attention.
He glanced at the door and noticed it was slightly open, which was a suspicious image he processed because he remembers shutting the door immediately after stepping out onto the wilderness rooftop. A blue spec of sparkle was seen disintegrating into thin air. At first, he wanted to stop time but couldn't care less because someone else listened in on the conversation privately.
A whimpering cry became a burden to anyone who walked past the female bathroom, their passing faces were more annoyed than curious about who was crying to themselves. Cramped into the corner of a bathroom stall, hugging themselves tightly, was Kaylee weeping away.
"First...he scared m-m-m-me...now he's making me c-c-cry?" Kaylee sadly whispered to herself, wiping away her flooded face of dried tears losing their youth, "What the h-h-hell, man" Kaylee cried again.
The day faded away into the back of everyone's memories as they all wake up to a new day, a new opportunity to make more new memories along the narrow way. Caden woke up from his slumber and hopped out of the bed immediately, he grabbed hold of his school clothes and jumped into them while having a toast hanging out from the right side of his mouth.

Once finished with basic things, he begins to head out of his blind room when he bumped into Ms Paden once again, he quickly reacted and grabbed hold of his balance while Ms Paden struggled as her legs violently wobbled onto the carpet floor. Their eyes instantly met and all Ms Paden could do was smile innocently.
"You better eat that toast quick or you'll be in trouble." Ms Paden silently laughed.
"Yes, yes. I'll hurry up and tell my rumbling stomach to stop rumbling." Caden said motionless as his chin descended onto his chest, "Stop being naughty and quit your rumbling, you naughty organ." Caden jokingly patted his stomach.
"Being smart today huh?" Ms Paden snickered after being helped up from Caden's helping hand.
Caden nodded to the answer and started walking alongside Ms Paden until he got to his classroom, when he poked his head in he saw something was up immediately. The two most connected people are far away from each other and not even batting eyes even once, Kaylee was still in her seat while Autumn sat right next to Caden's desk.
"Did you two argue?" Caden asked with a smile while in the middle of comfortably sitting himself down, Autumn looked towards Caden's direction and looked at where Kaylee sat before turning her head back in Caden's direction.
"Yeah...something like that. Jealousy got the best of her and her hatred towards you got us into an argument." Autumn answered honestly.
"Well, what a lucky guy I am-" Caden joked, "But seriously, if you both don't have an agreement on something, then just make another statement where you'll both agree on. After all, you both are cute when you smile together." Caden smirked.
Autumn sat speechlessly, her eyes darted over to Caden's face and her face began to fluster up like a tomato making its debut on painting human skin. Then the sound of a chair being slammed right next to Autumn caught both of their attention.
Kaylee looked at us both, clearly was also blushing from something, but this movement caused Autumn to get nasty.
"What do you want?" Autumn growled.
"What he said made me rush over here..." Kaylee answered in an embarrassed tone.
"HUH?!" Autumn suddenly yelled from the top of her lungs.
