That's when I immediately regretted it. I regret from sending a letter to this college. Regret even seeing him again in my life.

Secret. Not known or seen or not meant to be known or seen by others. Something that is kept or meant to be kept unknown or unseen by others.
Looks, locked doors, whispers, stares, and glances. That was Maya's life for the past few weeks.
The people she thought she trusted aren't worthy, or at least that's what she keeps trying to say so it won't hurt her.

She took a glance at everybody who kept quiet, not wanting to corrupt the awkward silence.
"Smackle and I have decided that we can't go to NYU anymore. Princeton gave us an option and we're considering it." Farkle said out of the blue while holding Smackle's hand.
Riley looked down at the floor, her hair draping over her shoulders, and creating a curtain from the world. She stared down long enough at the carpet beneath her socks and shoes, as she fiddles with the hem of her shirt.
