Ch.38 Truth

I managed to keep even pace with Zack the whole way back to my apartment. Once we were at my doorstep I reached down and grabbed the key from under the mat, and unlocked the door. I glanced up at Zack he smiled at me. I felt myself blush as I twisted the door knob, 'he's so cute' I thought to myself.

Once we were inside I locked the door and heard a voice from the livingroom.

"Your back already?" Anyira asked walking over to us. She stopped as soon as she seen Zack.

"I don't think you two were properly introduced?" I said wanting to make the situation less awkward. "This is Zack, Zack this is Anyira." I spoke evenly.

"Hey." Zack said waving.

"Hi." Anyira replied. "Myira can I talk to you for a second?" she asked.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"Just come with me." she said grabbing my arm and dragging me into the livingroom and walking over to the back door.

"Zack, make yourself at home we will be back in a few minutes." I said closing the door.

Anyira drug around the corner away from the windows. "Why did you bring him with you?" Anyira shouted at me.

I looked at her in shock, why was she mad? "He brought me back here away from everyone." I spoke softly not wanting to be rude.

She looked at me in disbelief. "What happened?" she said shaking her head.

I looked toward the floor. "It is a long story but, a girl fainted because of me and it caused the whole school to have an uproar." I said beginning to tear up.

"I knew you shouldn't have gone back." Anyira said suddenly.

I wiped the tears from my eyes. "I geuss she was right, we may never consort with their kind as long as they know our secrets." I said looking toward the clouds.

"I am sorry for shouting at you." she spoke softly with her head to the ground.

"Don't be." I said as I looked at her and smiled.

She smiled back "We should get back in there." she said looking at the door.

"Yeah." I said turning.

I grabbed the door handle turned it and let us in. I looked at the couch Zack had seated himself on it and was looking at the note that I had left for Anyira. He suddenly looked up and his eyes caught mine, he smiled and I smiled back.

"I will be right back I am going to go change." I said.

Zack and Anyira both nodded and I headed to my bedroom. I changed into black leggings and a dark purple shirt, and put the uniform in the laundry basket. 'I am never going back there.' I thought to myself. I turned and headed toward the door and opened it.

Anyira and Zack sat in complete silence as I walked over the couch and sat next to Zack. We sat in silence for a few minutes before Zack spoke.

"Can I ask you something Myira?" he asked cautiously.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"Why didn't you tell about this back on the island?" he asked looking up at me.

"About what?" Anyira suddenly.

I looked at Anyira "I think it is time you both find something out about each other." I said.

"Anyira, Zack knows about my wings. Zack, Anyira is just like me." I said looking down at my lap.

"Myira!! You what!?" Anyira yelled at me. "Why would you tell him?!" she yelled even louder this time.

I looked at Anyira and then at Zack who's eyes bounced back and forth between me and Anyira.

"This day just keeps getting crazier and crazier by the minute." Zack said in a shocked tone. "But I like it." he said smirking.
