"I am really sorry...for acting the way I did! I regret not talking to you and it makes me angry seeing you with another guy... I thought you liked me..!" He's really sad and upset. And angry because he saw me with Louis.
" Did you come to talk with me because I hanged out with Louis?" I couldn't keep myself for asking that. I was so curious . Does he like me back?
"Skylar! I planned to come to you from the day we didn't get along. So, don't say that! I like you too and that's why it bothered me. " He follows me on my way back in my room. I am going on the stairs hoping he leaves, but he's still behind me.
" Can you ,please, forgive me? I can't stay like this...I broke my promise because of my ego and I feel bad for it!" It hurts me too. More than he could know...but it does. It hurts me that his pride was more important than me .
"Sunshine?..." I stop in the top of the stairs. He called me 'sunshine'...My heart melts every single time I hear that word.
"Don't give up at this.. I know we are not together and we have no obligations in front of each other, but I know you felt that spark. Those vibes! Even those butterflies when we hanged out in the hospital watching the painted sky and having deep conversations about life or even on this roof." He points up with his trembling hand and pleading face. I see his rosy cheeks becoming purple.
"I won't throw away everything. Every moment we had and we were happy. I'll give you one more chance...but you have to understand that I have literally no idea how are you behaving around other people. " I turn around and I go down on his level.
"An intelligent boy who now is acting dumb." I say as I caress his cheek. " Once told me 'the thought of what could have been is as painful as a broken heart' and I 'd like to listen him this time." His face lighten up as if a lighting struck a tree. He erases his tears and after a minute of processing me forgiving him, he jumps into my arms.
" I missed you so much this days...Do you want to do our thing?" I am so happy now that we're good again.
I've got my good butterflies back.
He grabs my hand and drags me after him on the roof.
" Heyyy! I'm freezing! Can we go back? I wanna put more clothes on!" I shout at him with my all body shaking.
"No! Of course not! We just arrived..."
"Oh,it is so easy for you to speak...you're always so warm!" He shows me a jokey shocked face and keeps walking.
"Give me your key, I am gonna get you a blanket. I don't want you to get a flu!Doctor Froks will kill us both" He stops in the middle of the roof and stares at me.
" You're so beautiful! I think I won't get you a blanket anymore! Come here!" He opens his big arms and signals me to go. I give him a shy look and I squat in there.
That's how I spent the rest of the night. There were no cold, no everything bad. Just warm , safety and peace.
"Oh my God! Luk! Wake up! It happened again! It's 6am. We have to go to school!?!" I try to move him ,to wake him up. But he's already awake.
" Stop, Sky! I'm awake! I didn't even sleep! Calm down! " He doesn't have a sleepy voice, so he really didn't sleep.
" But why? You'll be tired in school. " I am a little to protective with him. I don't want to make him feel weird, but I am right.
" I can not sleep here in the middle of nowhere without any kind of protection. " He says clarifying a little the situation.
"What do you mean? Have you ever slept in the nights you were with me? And what's that ' without protection'?" I am so confused. What does that even mean?
"You'll understand in the future if you don't do now, trust me! And no, I've never had sleep while I was with you. " I feel the color draining from my face quickly and he saw it too.
"Don't be scared for nothing! Seriously ! Now let's go! We'll be late for school! OH, and ...what's the deal with Lis or whatever is his name." He is a little pissed of because of my friendship with Louis, that's as clear as the water.
"Yes! Louis! He is the first real friend I made here. Don't worry about it! Oh...and if I hear that you or your 'squad' upsets him any longer, trust me. I'll kick your asses, inclusive Declan's! Do not laugh because I am really not joking! " I give him a reproachful tone and a very serious face as I walk away.
" Ah, I see you really care about him!" He seems a little sad but he's very skilled at hiding his emotions. I saw that at my brother too after he started to work with Father. God! Is Lukas working with them too? I hope NOT for his good health!
"Of course I do, Lukas! Because this days when you where bff with your ego, Louis wasn't !Taking account that I punched him for saving Javi ,he is not mad at me, he even understood me saying that he admires me for my talent at fighting. " I couldn't have explained better the situation. He glares at me while I am leaving saying nothing.I don't want him to be mad at me again...but if I am right, I can't fucking shut up!
I left leaving him on the roof thinking about what I've just said . I am 2 feet far from my room and I hear Louis.
" Heeyyy! What are you doing awake so early?" The only thing covering him was a towel.
"WHAT A-?! I better ask you why what are you doing! Why are you walking on this halls a little bit- I mean, a little more naked?! Oh, nice abs though! " I can't keep it in anymore and I laugh loudly.
" You're laughing? By my abs? What's wrong with you? Don't you stare and say 'Wooow' as normal girls do?" I laugh even louder. It's clear that we've been friends for a little time.
"What on Earth made you think I am a ' normal ' girl?Now, seriously! Why are you walking like that?" I stop laughing and he seems a little ashamed because of his 'cool outfit'.
" My shower is broke so I went to shower to a friend in the other side of this building..." Did he walked like this all the way?!
" OMG! Next time, you can shower here!" I point to my room with a smile.
" OH! Thank you so much!! " I see him so happy with my proposal.
" Now, go and get ready! I have to do the same! " I urge him with a kind voice.
This week in school passed as fast as it came. I didn't even realize today was Saturday.
I clarified things with Lukas and I met him every day in school and night on the roof.
But now it's almost the middle of October and it's coming the winter outside. I wanna go to ski this winter. I will propose it to Lukas . Maybe Declan will come to and we'll be back in good terms, oh, and Louis for sure.
I have my headphones on and I am heading to the canteen. I put on a pair of skinny jeans and a red corset . My white Nike's completed my outfit .
"Nice hair, girl!"
I hear a soft voice while the songs are changing from behind me. I turn around and I see a red-headed girl with straight hair and some amazing earrings hanging from her ears. I take off my right earpiece so I can hear her better.
"Oh, thanks! You have amazing earrings though!"
She likes my blonde long curly hair, but now looking at her, her skin in literally glowing . I love it! She walks in front me in line to get food and turns facing me.
"I am Audrey, by the way! Audrey McLaren. Nice to meet you, Skylar! " I am surprised. She knows my name , I think Declan's reputation has something to do with this.
" I am Skylar Moon,anyway!" I say,with desire to introduce myself. "And I love your glowing skin!"
"Thank you! We're together in science , that's how I know you if you were wondering. " It makes sense now. She seems a nice girl.
"I remember! You're sitting like 3 desks behind me. " I think I saw her last week making her way out of class. " We should hang out sometimes!"
" I would be very happy! I am kinda new. I moved here 2 weeks ago. " She has a strong and unbreakable voice. I am wondering if she is a gifted girl, with singing and stuff like this.
" Why would you move almost 2 months after the year started? " I ask her a little confused.
"That's a story for another day! See ya! " She left without any other words. I like how mysterious she is. I took my bugs off completely.
After I brought the tray with the leftovers to its place, I saw I had 15 more minute from the lunch break . I should read something. I miss reading!
I finished one more chapter from my favorite book "Ugly love" and I took my English book.
"Come on, Skylar! Faster, faster! We'll be late because of you! I don't want detention. " Louis was shouting at me to walk faster. I forgot we had this class together.
" Stop screaming! You're scaring people! " He shut his mouth. " It's better this way! Trust me!" I decreed jokey and winking at him.
After Mrs. Shocker left, because she can't pass her 15 minutes of staying in class, letting us alone I turn around at Louis saying "I've finished my worksheet. Can we leave? " I made the puppy face I knew he can't resist at,making him confuse. " Come on! This is our last class in the second period. And she's not coming back. We always dismiss ourselves. PLEASEE!" He gave it quickly than I've expected.
We put our finished worksheets on her desk and left. The other classmates looked freaked out at us at first but after we walked 5 meters away on the hall I turned my head and I saw the others getting out of class happy because someone took the initiative.
"You're welcome, kids! " I say giving credit to myself noticing Louis staring at me.
"You're a one of a million!" He said with a smirk.
Getting in my room, and letting Louis enter in his and change because some dumb girl spilled her coffee on his white T-shirt, I take a hot shower to relax a little .
I was done and it was almost 7pm. Seconds after I check my phone I hear someone knocking in my door. This is Lukas! I ran over and slam the door.
"Luuu-Oh! What the hell are you doing here? If you didn't come with a bag full of food and a good film in your mind I won't forgive you!" I shout slamming the door nervously again.
"I did brought food! Even your favorite. And I can solve really fast with the film. That's Siri for!" He jokes, opening the door slowly like nothing happened. Like he was back the Declan I knew and loved and not the jerk Declan.
"Please! I am not in the mood for your fast changing attitude . Leave!"
He doesn't even deserve a chance to fix things for the way he behaved with me. He is not even my best friend anymore. ..I miss that...
"I know my lately behavior had become desirable, but I am here to apologize! And you know how hard it's that for me.."
Lately I've been so familiarized with boys ego that I am not even surprised...and knowing Declan, it must've been really hard.
I said nothing but I put a disagreeing face on. He walked past me letting the food on my big bad and then asking Siri for a good movie ,completely disregarding the fact that I was angry at him.
I heard her suggesting ' The Hunger Games' . I hadn't the chance to watch it and he was looking at me for approval so I nodded that it was ok .
He jumped in the bad taking all the food for him saying "If you're going to stay there upset and playing pride I am going to eat everything." I make a frown and I give him a hard look.
It doesn't matter how much angry I am, no one, literally no one can eat my food. So I jump in bed next to him watching the movie.Well, more eating than watching, knowing myself.
When the first two films where finished I realized we didn't even talk. Not a single word. I notice him taking all the garbage and cleaning where we ate. That's a new. He took his coat and is heading to the door.
"Bye, Sky! I know all this what so sudden but I needed it so much! Thank you! "
I run over the door leaning against it stopping him to leave. This won't remain this way. I need answers. I freaking need answers!...
"Why are you acting like this?" I asked hoping he'll answer sincerely, but hoping wrong as always.
He pushes me away, opens the door and gets out . I think the jerk Declan is back, oh and so is my sarcasm. Uhh, how I missed it! The sarcasm...
