chapter 2 (1/1)

“WHAT!” Sandra shouted causing people around them to give them weird looks“shush!” Loraine tried to calm her down before she ended up spilling the beans to the student population“okay okay i'm calm” Sandra emphasised by holding up her hands, she put them down and leaned towards her “but only three people know about your secret, I definitly didn't spill and I doubt Jennifer would tell. She's had plenty of opportunities to”“i'ts not Jenny, she would have told me if she slipped. You know what she's like” she remembered the bundle of nerves that was her friend.Sandra suddenly grabbed her hand while looking over her shoulder ecxitdley “Luhan at 12 oclock”Loraine turned around and saw him leaning against the wall chatting with his posse, Loraine swallowed, all thoughts of confronting him vanished in her head. He could spill her secet if he wanted, it's not like she was going to die from people knowing about it.“go talk to him” Sandra encouragedshe shook her head quickly “no way”“why not, you have an excuse to talk to a cute guy. I'll take it if it were me”“easy for you to say” she muttered looking over her shoulder wishing she had Sandra's uncrushable confidence. Other than the secrect and the fact that Luhan was cute, she other personal reasons for not wanting to approach him. She didn't intentionally not approach him for a reason, a reason only she knew. As she looked over at the group chatting and laughing away, a sudden wave of sadness overwhelmed her, she had promised herself she wouldn't let it effect her, it seems like that promise had been long broken.“hey are you okay?” Sandra asked concerncered. Her sudden mood change must have been really obviousShe shook herself “i'm okay, i'll just go get a soda” she got off the chair “want one?”“orange juice please”Lorraine made her way to the machine and put her coins in and waited for her drinks to fall out. As her luck would have it, the machine decided not to couch up the other drink or her change. She wasn't a stingy person, she'll let it go once or twice but a third time...no way, she was getting her change back“everything okay?”“arrgh” Loraine jumped back startled, she had been absored in trying to get her coins back she hadn't noticed anyone approach. She stared up at the newcomer and her breath hitched, today was not her day“Luhan, what are doing here?” she regretted the question as soon as it was out of her mouth, it was a school cafetiria of course he would be there“i was going to get a drink...but looks like you broke the mention” Luhan replied her“it wasn't me, it swallowed my change and everything” Loraine defended herself“you sure it wasn't you? That last kick looked pretty harsh”“i..err” maybe she shouldn't have taken out her fustration on the machine. She decided to change the topic of conversation, might as well since she was already speaking to him“did you send me a note in english class?”Luhan frowned as if trying to remember if he did “did i” he pasued “what did it say?”Loraine pursed her lips, was he really going to play this game, she wasn't falling for it “did you or not?”“i might have..then again a lot of notes were flying around, you might have got someone else's”Loraine's hope soured, so the note wasn't for her“then again mine mentioned something about a secret”Loraine sighed as her short lived hope disapeared, yup it had been meant for her “what secret do you know?”Luhan raised his eyebrows and whistled causing his lips to go in a small kissy pout “there's more than one”“i'm a girl, we're known for keeping secrets”“that's true”“anyways are you going to tell me or not?” Loraine realised she was starting to sound whiney, she always did that everytime she was getting impatient and then the shouting would begin“okay, i'll tell you only if you answer a question for me”Loraine nodded“were you at Han Hotel's yesterday?”Loranie tensed remembering her meeting with her Grandpa, she had forgotten Luhan's family owned them. She nodded slowly trying to gouge what secret he was reffereing to, it didn't seeem like he had conncected the dots and hopefully he won't be able to“okay, so I wasn't seeing things. If you don't mind me asking, what were you doing there?”Loraine chose her words wisely “visiting a relative”He nodded and made ah noise as if he had spent the whole night debating about my presence at his hotel, did he do that with all his guests that visited?.“i've answered your question, what secret of mine do you know?”A small smile crept along Luhan lips “i didn't take you for a Victoria Secret kind of girl”Loraine's mouth dropped open “h-how..” she trailed off trying to make sense of what he had just said, was that the secret he had been talking about, her undergarments, and how the hell did he know she wore Victoria Secret.Luhan seemded to enjoy her shock as he bent down and collected the only drink that had come out of the machine“you seem like a nice girl so i'll give you a tip, next time you're looking for a place to strip, bare in mind the music room isn't as deserted as it looks” he took a swig of the drink in his hand “i''ll take this as payment”Loraine stared after him shocked and not to mentioned embarrassed, she walked back to her table in a daze. Jenny had joined the table and they pounced on her as soon as she sat down“that was a long talk, what did you talk about?” Sandra asked ecxited“nothing” she replied“it didn't look like nothing” Sandra commentedLoraine ignored her and turned to Jenny “YOU!” Jenny jumped at the sudden outburst “i thought you said that music room is always deserted!” she accusedJenny blinked at her startled “it is” she defended herself“obviously not” she muttered and shoved a chip in her mouth, she regretted it as the cold mushy potato assulted her taste buds“anyways, check this out. I found my Mum reading it and I thought you should take a look” Jenny shoved a magazine at herLoraine wasn't interested but her grandfather's picture was on the page so she took it and scanned it, she sighed as she finished reading the article. It looked like things had become official“so it's true?” Sandra concluded, usually Loraine started complaining when she read bogus articles about her Grandfather but this one's details she knew.“am so jelous, wish my Gandfather was a millionare” Jenny sighed dreamily“ not really, guy's a control freak. Why do you think my Mum left”“can't belive he disowned his own Daughter though, that's just deep”“not really disowned. She just gave up her right to the inheritance” Loraine smiled thinking of her Mum “she chose love over money”“still, you gotta have balls to do that. I salute your Mum” Sandra did a salute“i think it's romantic, and it's not like she went to some jobless drug addict. Loraine's Dad is a doctor, a proud profession if you ask me”Sandra looked thougtful for a moment “does that mean you're going to inherit the company?”“hell no, I don't want that kind of pressure in my life. My Uncle's taking care of that”“i can't belive you're going to come out on your twenty first, the press is going to have a field day”“it's like princess diaries ecxpet you knew all your life” Jenny commented“i'm hardly royalty” Loraine muttered feeling a little embarassed by the notion“no, you're just the secret grandaughter of a multimillionare” Sandra raised her eyebrows“whatever, can we change the subject. I don't want to think about it”They all agreed not to mention her Grandfather or her coronation as Jenny had deemed it.
