It was me...

They immediately break off and he pulls up his trousers as Zara zips her dress. 

He looks at me, astonished and puzzled. 

"Terra?" 

"Eli?" 

Zara's face is flushed with embarrassment. This is the guy she didn't want me to find out about? Eli? 

But why? 

"Uh... See you around..." Eli looks at me then at Zara who is looking down at the ground. 

Eli seems a little disappointed as he leaves, leaving me alone with Zara. 

I laugh. "So it's Eli? The guy you've been trying so hard to keep a secret?"

Zara rolls her eyes, pretending to be busy washing her hands but her face is still flushed. 

"I'm not keeping him a secret!" 

"Well, that's what it looks like..." 

Zara stares at me sharply. "Something is kept a secret when there's something. But there's nothing between us." 

I giggle. "What I saw some few minutes ago didn't seem like nothing."
