Last Night was great! We went out to eat with Joe and everyone. I think life can't get better, but it does :). But Lucian is coming over today...... I can't just text him and be like "Yeah you can't come over." I could, but he was so happy when I said yes. UGH! What happens if he knows Joe? I just hope not. I get ready for hell (School) and right about to get my stuff together Joe walks in.

"Hope, you ready?" he yawns.

"Yeah." i said.

"Hum, what's the matter?" he asked me. How does he know? I give him a confused look.

"I know when their something wrong, now spill it." He said crossing his arms.

"Well....." I sat on my bed. "Theirs this guy, and he said he needed help with Math, so I said he could come over." I said waiting for Joe to say something.

"I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as you don't-" I wan't going to let him finish that.

"Ok NO! He has a Girlfriend, sadly." I said the last part quietly so Joe didn't hear me.

"Alright good, what time will he be coming." He asked me. I was surprised Joe wasn't picking up on what really matter here.

"Right after school." I said.

"Alright, I'll pick you two up, lets go." Joe turned and started to walk. I followed.

"I could tell him he could just get a ride." I said.

"why do that? that be a waste of time." He said.

"JOE!" I yelled. He turned fast to me in shocked. "Don't you think he might know who you are? and if he finds out that your my dad he might freak out, tell everyone at school, and also know where YOU LIVE!" I yelled. Joe was in shocked.

"Is that the real problem?" He asked. Joe is getting me pissed off.

"Yes." I walked to the door. No one said anything till we got in the car.

"Hope, I know your worried no you will like you for you, but you already have friends who do! I can tell you, they still will. Even if they find out about me." He said.

"I've never had friends before, and in all the movies things change and friends only are friends with people because they have something they want, and they don't have." I said.

Joe stopped the car. "Look, Hope movies aren't real. They will like you for who you are and if not, Fuck them." He said. I looked at him and smiled. "If it make you feel better i'll just stay in my room the hole time this boy is here." He said.

"Really you'd do that?" i asked. He nodded. "Thanks Joe, Sorry too." I said.

"Don't worry about, now go to school." He said. I got out and waved bye.

Later at Lunch......

"Hey Hope do you have the History homework?" asked Bella.

"Yeah, I'll email you it." I said putting food in my mouth.

"Thank you, My mom would of killed me if I forget it, again." She said. I smiled and nodded. Soon Anne and Bryan showed up.

"Hope! So I heard Lucian is coming over to your house." She said. I almost chocked.

"WHAT! WHO SAID THAT!" I yelled.

"Everyone is talking about it." Said Bryan. "They all think he is cheating on Alice." He said. oh shit.

"Oh My- if Alice finds out i'm dead!" I said.

"OOOOO so its true!" Anne said.

"NO! I'm only helping him with math, that's all he asked." I said looking over at his table.

"So he asked you?" Bella asked. I Just nodded. Then I heard Devon laugh a little. We all looked at him.

"Do you have something to add?" I asked. He looked at me his dark eyes.

"All I'm hearing is deny, deny, deny." He said. I don't think anyone understood him, but me.

"What the hell does that me?" Said Bryan. He just smirked.

"She knows." He nodded towards me, he got up and left. Maybe we understand each other more then I thought. I got up and followed him, leaving the table confused. I finally caught up to him.

"The one time you speak you said something smart." I said. He let a deep sigh out.

"Why are you following me?" he asked.

"Because you said something I understand, meaning you get it." I said He turned to me fast.

"If your saying were a like, we aren't." He said looking mad. Everyone at this school is scared of him, of thinks he is a freak. I don't think either.

"I think we are, and you know it." I crossed my arms.

"Please, your American, I'm not. You wear bright color, I wear dark colors." He said.

"That's only on what you can see on the outside." I said.

"Fine, how are we alike?"He asked. I thought about it for a sec.

"I think we been through some of the same things." I said. That made him laugh.

"yeah OK princess." He started to walk away. I cross my arms.

"You'll soon see it." I said, but it was to quietly so he didn't he me. I wanted to yelled at him,

'YOU DON'T KNOW THE HELL I BEEN THROUGH!' but the whole school doesn't need to know my problem. He just kept walking. What a ass.

End of school.

I met up with Lucian and his mom was going to drive us to my house because my "dad is working".

"Hello darling." Said Lucian's mom.

"Hi Mrs." I said.

"Mom this is Hope." Said Lucian.

"What a lovely name." She said.

"Thanks." I said. I give her the address and we were off. I can't say I'm not nervous, because I am. I just don't want anyone to know. Which makes me feel bad for Joe, he can never meet my friends. Soon we arrived.

"Thank you for driving us." I said.

"No problem dear, and you be on your best behavior." She said the Lucian.

"Yes ma'am." He said. She give him a kiss, but he backed away.

"MOM!" He yelled. I laughed. We got out of the car and we got in the house. Here we go.

"Nice place." He said. In 'nice place' meeting do you know where we are?

"Thank you." I said. "We have to be quite because my um dad is working down stairs." I said. Saying "dad" feels weird. He nods and we started.

1 hour later.........

"Do you understand now?" I asked.

"Um kinda." He said. Ugh we been going over the same thing for a hour, he may be hot, but not smart.

"Ok Lets take a break." I said. He was relieved. "Mind if i go on the couch?" I He asked.

"No go ahead, I'll be right back." I went down stair to check with Joe.

"Joe?" I asked. He was in his bed, sleeping I think. I just closed the door not wanting to wake him up. I got my laptop and headed back up stairs. I see Lucian was at the computer looking at something.

"What you looking at?" i asked. He turned and showed me a mouse pad..... With Joe's face on it. I froze. He smiled.

"I didn't know you were a fan of Joe Sugg." He said. SHIT!

"Ummmmmm." That's all that came out. He laughed.

"Its ok, I like his videos too." SHIT!

"Oh really?" I asked. He nodded.

"I didn't know him till Alice showed me some of his video....." Soon his smile went away. He put it down and went to the couch. Oh no, something happen.

"Lucian?" I walked over to him. I Put the laptop on the table. "What happen?" He didn't look up at me.

"Can you keep a secret?" he asked me. I Nodded.

"I never really liked Alice." He said. WHAT!?

"HUM?" I tried not to freak out.

"Yeah, Everyone said she liked me and we be cute together, all my friends said I should go get it and stuff like that, we kissed and we been together for 2 years." He said. I was just in shocked.

"Also, I was never popular. I was a geek, I did tech club, computer club, everything. I still do like it, but when I got to high school everyone made fun of me and called me Luser (Lucian and Loser together). So the next semester I got contacts, hair cut, and new style. Then things happen and I'm now who I am." He said. Lucian is a geek? A secret geek?

"Lucian?" I said. He got up.

"Today Alice found out I was coming here and wanted to break up, So we did, I told her I never liked her and I came here." He said. He broke up with her?

"And are you ok with that?" I asked him. He looked down.

"I don't know, things might change and go back to how they were and I know I don't want that." He looked at me. My eyes filled with tears. I don't know why I'm crying, I really don't. Maybe because I'm not the only one with a secret.
