Secrets chapter 4

Instructions

That night, I decided that I probably should tell Adrien about my... Life form? Extra parts? Cyborgyness? Whatever. I would tell him... My biggest secret. That was the word, or, words. The one thing was, I didn't know his he would react. He could very well slap my face. Or expose me to the whole school, and I would be sent to a lab. I know that happened one time, and that's how humans were able to make us. It's.... complicated. But I knew that I needed to come clean, and if I wanted to be as happy as I can, I'd rather him know. Hey, I have something to tell u 2morrow The response was near immediate, and I would have thought that he was staring at his phone, just waiting for a text, if I didn't know that around this time he was doing something on his phone. What is it? Plz tell me I will 2morrow. promise. G'night, <3 Fine... But you will tell me Yeah, i will, and idk abt u, but I for one want sleep OK, see u, love you, i'll let u sleep now I plugged in my phone and went to sleep. The next day, I got to school early, and, with luck on my side, he was there too. " Cassie! I've been wondering where you were last night. You said you have a big thing to tell me that had to happen today and not over text. What is it?" "Let's go somewhere more private," with less people to question my sanity when I tell you I'm a cyborg from the future, I thought. "But school's about to start," he protested. "And how important is homeroom?" I reminded him. "Good point." I knew he would follow me after that without much hesitation. "I have something huge to tell you. And you might not like me anymore. But just so you know, I will always love you." I hoped this was a good start to my confession, but I didn't know just yet. "We're here." I brought him to one of my favorite places this season, with the cherry blossoms reflecting perfectly off the stream. "Well, I don't care, honestly. I love you, and nothing will ever change that." I wasn't so sure about that, but it was a good start. I think. "What would you do if I told you I was a robot from the future?" I hoped that he would play some sort of joke here. Maybe that was why I liked him in the first place. He was an even balance of both joking and serious. "I'd joke about how you always got perfect scores because you have a computer in your brain. Wait, is that the reason you have straight As? Am I dating a robot?" He actually sounded as if he might believe that. "No, I'm not a complete robot from the future. I'm only 41% robot, but 100% from the future." "Slap me." I thought he was beginning to be crazy because of what I am, and then remembered that people said that these days when they think they're dreaming. "I'm sorry, but I can't slap you. I love you too much." And I didn't want to slap him harder than he could withstand. Arms of metal did have bonuses. Silence. For one, two, three minutes. Maybe we would be late to school. "I know this is a lot to process. And you're probably hurt and mad at me. But I want to tell you I don't have much time. Once my mentor realizes that I did this instead of the mission, he'll send me to a different time. After, let's just say it won't be pleasant. Like, you equivalent of being tortured until you die. And I live a bit longer than you will, because if both my cyborgyness and coming from the future. " I truly did love him and wished that he would see why we belong. But, at the same time, I couldn't judge him if he didn't want me because I wouldn't be here for much longer. "So, what you're telling me, is I've had and have a cyborg girlfriend. This is weird, but I don't want to lose you, even if you happen to be half robot." I was happy beyond limits, but I didn't want to give us away by squealing, so I just said, "I'm glad." I looked at him and give him a questioning look, and he nods and we share a quick kiss, probably the only thing that's happened today that was meant to happen here with normal people. After, we start sprinting to school, hoping that we won't miss the bell. Sadly, our classes, while not the same, were on the other side of campus. Here's where the built in AI part of my brain helps. "Don't worry, I can get us out of this," I assured him. "OK, Ms. Cyborg, I'll let you search up the best way to convince our teacher to let us pass." He replied with a smile. "Hang on, step aside for a second," I told him. After he complied, I found a bump in the sidewalk, opened my backpack to put my phone in, and tripped over the bump on purpose. The good part was it completed all that I it needed to do. On the other hand, I had also damaged the metal on my knee a little, and I won't be getting a new coating anytime soon. Adrien helped me pick up my stuff and we raced to the front office. After a bit of persuasion, the gave us a hall pass. After speed walking to our classes, we said goodbye and parted ways. Whenever I leave him, I think it will be the last time I'll see him. Maybe this time will be it.
