Lukas, you didn't come. But I've been waiting anyway.
"Hey! I'd like to thank you for saving me yesterday!" I hear Javi's voice behind me. He's running to catch up the distance between us.
"Ohm, it's alright! Lucky you for being friend with Declan!" I answer a little amused because he's literally twice bigger than me and he couldn't beat the other boy.
"What's your first class?".
" Biology. Yours?" He changed the subject when I mentioned Dec. Why?
"Same! Let's go!" He grabs my hand and drags me after him.
"What a heck! Let go of me! I can walk by myself!" I shout angrily at him to leave my hand .
"Alright! Declan said you're a little picky..." I can notice he's trying hard to not let his loudly laugh outside.
After some minutes of walking on the alley, a question is rising in my mind.
" Umm, how did you end up being friend with Declan? I haven't been in school for some weeks. " I excuse myself for not knowing.
" I met him at the library. " OH, REALLY! At the library! Such a big lie.
"Couldn't you find a better lie? Dec has never been in a library, Garcia!" I say, being ironic and raising my eyebrows . He didn't say anything, but blushed being embarrassed because I caught him lying.
I finished my first period and I have 1 hour break before lunch. As I look up I see 2 silhouettes heading to me and talking to each other .
" Well, that's new! " I say with a smirk and trying not to laugh.
" How did you to become friends? Wait! How many things happened while I wasn't here? " I ask curious with a hushed face. They look at each other for some seconds.
" We met at the library. " Lukas says happy, having no idea how angry made me his answer.
" This is the second time someone said that met you at the library. " I shout pointing at Declan. " You have never even fucking stepped in a library all your life! Why in Hell is everybody lying to me?"
I take my things from the table where I stayed and I left nervous without giving them any chance to say something or stop me.As I walk away I hear Dec saying: " She is right though!"
I still that hour break . I should go do some sport . Or swim. I'm gonna swim. I put my red swimsuit on and I'm heading to the pool .
Louis is there. From what I've heard this morning , my brother and his new 'squad' don't like him so much. And Louis is also the same guy who I punched to save Javi. Worst thing I've done this week, saving Javi!!! Liar.
"Wow! Girl? What are you doing here? I don't want troubles or any others of your fists. " Louis says with a note of fear in his voice and moving away .
" Yo, chill! I 'm not here to punch you or something..." I say trying to apologize somehow,and raising my hands in support.
" Oh, ok! You have really heavy punches. You made me K.O from only one. I admire you!" I can see myself growing in his light blue eyes.
" I am glad you're not mad at me! I punched you because I knew Javi is friend with my brother..." He interrupts me .
" Your brother?! Do you mean Declan Moon? You're Declan Moon's sister?" Why is he shocked? I am a no one.
"Yeah! Why are you so surprise ? The headmistress made us introduce ourselves in he first day." I say confused by his looking.
" Oh, I skipped the first day with the ceremony and all that. I've had one in my freshman year. It was enough!" I laugh a little too loudly. But he is right. The ceremonies are boring and embarrassing if you're on the stage with the headmistress.
" I apologize for that punch. I saw today that Javi didn't deserve me to save him. But why did you two fight?" I ask him becoming more comfortable .
" Well, I was in the canteen sitting and eating my food and he slapped me on the back of my head. " I cover my mouth with my hands. I'm so disappointed! I thought Javi was a nice guy, with blue hair,despite lying to me.
" Well, can we be friends now? I really don't know anyone here besides my brother's squad and I don't really like them. " I ask him nicely hoping to an 'yes' as answer.
Louis has curly light blonde hair and blue eyes as the color of the sea. He seems like my male version. He's pretty nice.
" Only if you promise to not kick my ass ever again! " He answers, smiling .
" Promise that! But I still can kick your ass at swimming!" He looks surprised at me.
"My name is Skylar by the way. Skylar Moon!" I say and I jump in the pull.
" I can see you're full of surprises ,Skylar!I am Louis Miller. " I smile at him nodding yes. We spent the rest of the 1 hour break together.
While me and Louis were preparing to get out of the pool, I see Lukas with Declan and Javi staring at us and I feel Louis's breath near my right ear.
"Skylar, listen! I know you weren't here last weeks, but your brother and his squad were, and they have some kind of reputation in this school. I sincerely don't want to have troubles with neither one of them. " He is whispering,having a note of fear in his voice.
"Don't worry! We are friends now and I won't let them hurt you! They'll have to get over me!We should hang out more!" He takes his towel and gives me a pretty smile while shaking his curls.
"Sure! I'd like to!"
I take my big grey towel,throw it on my shoulder and I walk towards them . Their eyes are wide open.
" Wow ! Skylar! You're so ho..." Javi tries to say 'hot' but Declan rise his hand interrupting him. Javi's mouth closed immediately. How is he so bossy with them? Is Lukas his pet too? For his healthy I hope not.
"Skylar! Go and dress yourself. You have left 30 minutes of lunch time. Then you start second period." He says, angry.
"Why do you always have to demand me ? I am not your puppy as I see this two being." I point with my finger at Javi and Lukas who are staying behind them.
" Wait ,Skylar! Don't judge me ! Just because I hang out with your brother doesn't mean I am whatever you said. Alright?" I can hear the shaking in his voice due to disappointment and I can see his eyes sparking for being such a passionate person.
As he finishes talking , he looks gently into my eyes giving me the chance to apologize. But I didn't !He turns around and walks away. My hands are trembling at the thought that I hurt him. But what should I believe? I don't know him around other people than me.
While I'm looking after him I turn around too and walk to my room letting Declan and Javi gossiping about things. I can feel Javi looking at my perfect and fit ass.
" Look somewhere else, Garcia! That's private property ! " I says, looking back for a second and seeing Luk giving o harsh glare to Javi.
"Don't call me that!" He shout at me angrily raising his right hand in the air.
"Oh! Shut up!" I said and I left.
A few hours had passed and I finished all my classes. While I was picking my books to leave , I hear a whistle from the door and I turn.
"Oh! Hi, Louis! I didn't see you!" I say a little surprise seeing him here after he said he doesn't want troubles with my bro.
"Now that we are friends, I saw you here alone and I came. " He is acting normal and seems comfortable , I like that.
" You said you don't want problems with 'the squad'. I admire your courage! Really!" I pick up my schoolbag and I go to the door.
" Hey,Sky! I am not doing anything wrong here. I ALSO now no one!All my 'trustworthy' buddies left me..I am friend with you after you PUNCHED me so you should notice how desperate I am here." My face went sad hearing about his old friends,but also when he remembered me what I did.
" You know I am sorry! ... For your old buddies to. And you know I can't be them, right? I am myself and you have to be satisfied with me!" I give him a puppy face in defense.
"Don't! Skylar...don't do this face.." He comes near me and gives me a hug. It feels great . I needed it.
" Alright! I am sorry! Also, I like your perfume! Now, let's go! I plan to explore all this school the inside out. "
" How will you have time to go home , do homework, learn, come back to explore and then go back?" Well, that a good question from him. He's intelligent .
Why isn't my brother like him...?!
"I live in the boarding school now. I moved in here. " I say, proud of my decision.
" Really? At this academy? Why? But me too!"
" Really! This is great! It doesn't really matter why! What room? "
"88. And you?" He's room is exactly in front of mine. That's wonderful.
"I am in 77. We have the room in front of each other! This is so cool! If you want, you can come with me to explore around here! "
I don't want to go alone, and Lukas won't come after what I did. I think he wouldn't come at all tonight.
" Sure! I will! Now let's go to let our things !!" He seems so excited and happy.
We did as he said . The all afternoon we walked around and in every single corner of this school. We swam, ran, sang, took photos. We even posted on our Instagram photos with us having fun and being happy.
" It's 9pm! Let's goo! We have school tomorrow! I shout at him confused by how fast passed the hours when I looked at my phone.
"Oh, I didn't even notice! Let's go then! "
In front of our rooms , we said good bye and good night, but he had something to add.
"Skylar! Listen! I really like you for how honest and genuinely good you are! And I think , with the time we'll become besties ! So, if you ever need someone or something. ANYTHING! All you have to do is knock 6 times slowly and the 7th time louder." He puts himself at my disposition. He's a totally gentleman.
" Well, I never had a bestie...but sure. You can count on me anytime too! Cool private greeting though!" I answer, winking and opening my door.
We entered in our rooms.
That night was so quiet...My thoughts kept me awake until 4am on the roof watching the beautiful sky, hoping he'll come...but he didn't , and remembering how he was calling me 'sunshine' and how he described me as I was the entire world.
Without any drop of hope, I went back in my room at 4.30am trying to get some hours of sleep before school.
"He didn't come! I hoped in vain! He's too mad at me to care now. And my heart is bleeding.And I can't stop her. I can't help myself.I can't make the pain from my chest to go away. I can't hold my tears anymore when I think about him. The worst is that he thinks I did that on purpose.This hurts so much! "
I couldn't keep it inside me and I told Louis about what I feel for Lukas. We where in the backyard, 30 minutes before class started.
He is eyes and ears at me. He doesn't judge me. I think he really deserves my friendship .
But I don't know if I deserve his...
" Skylar! Stop crying, you wouldn't want him to see you now. If there was no money and everything depended on your moral standards and your acts. The way that you behave and treat people, you'd be on the top. YOU would even be the FIRST. "
" I don't think so, Louis! I don't know how he behaves around other people and I made him my brother's puppy . He didn't even deserve that because Javi is the one who listen all of Declan's freaking demands..."
My tears began to fall down my rosy cheeks. I saw he's face hurt by seeing me like that.
" You hurt yourself by hurting him, Sky! And that means you're in real love with him. And in love, one always starts by deceiving himself...and ends by deceiving others. " He says firmly standing in front of me with his legs crossed on the bank, same as me.
The wind blew my blonde curly hair, as I used my hand to fix it,I saw Lukas staring at us from four banks away.
" Look! He's staring at us. I can't let him see me this way. Can you give me a napkin, please?" He handed me over the napkin, I wiped my tears and we left heading to class. I felt Lukas glare burning me but I couldn't confront him now. I didn't have the strength to .
