The doubt I had about Skyler was gone.
A few days passed by and Thursday arrived.
I decided to go to the spot again.
Skyler was sitting in the corner reading a book.
He looked up as I approached him.
"You came!" Skyler said with joy.
"Well yeah ...you...know...I had nothing else to do and Umm" I tried to hide the fact that I was excited to see him again like this too.
"yeah yeah, whatever sit down," he said patting the ground next to where he was sitting.
"You know before you I was lonely, I never really had anyone to talk to" He looked at me as he said this.
Well, that was true, he never talked or let anyone talk to him in class.
"Well you know you can just make friends and tell them to meet you here as you did with me," I said looking down.
"I told you, Alex, you are special. That's why I brought you here."
His statements made me so confused.
(Why am I special to him now? Why is he being so nice to me all of a sudden?)
Questions were popping up in my head, but I ignore them.
"What about your boyfriend", I asked thinking about the guy he was making out with.
"Boyfriend?" He looked at me confused.
"Oh, I apologize... I meant your former boyfriend. You don't have to say anything if it's a hard topic." I realized the topic of his ex might be a bit hard for him.
Despite my correction, he was still looking at me confused.
"The guy with the mole on his face....?"
Still blank.
"THE ONE YOU WERE MAKING OUT WITH?"
(oops- that came out so rude.)
I said the last sentence a little louder than expected.
Still, He looked unbothered by this statement.
He looked down, trying to avoid eye contact.
"Oh him.. yeah he knew about this place too I guess."
I was kind of bothered by the fact that I wasn't the only one who knew about this place even if the other person was dead.
(Why am I even bothered moreover why was he avoiding eye contact?)
I tried changing the topic...maybe this topic was just too hard for him.
"Oh yeah so...I heard there's a new amusement park that opened have you checked it out?"
"Amusement Park?" He asked confused "Umm no I have never been to a place like that since the death of my parents. My aunt said it wasn't safe back when I was little".
I looked at him blankly.
"So...You haven't been to any place fun since you were 7?"
"No"
"Not even to the movies?"
"Nope"
That is so weird...Lucas, Louis, and I used to love going to amusement parks, and having movie nights was our favorite thing as adults.
"I can tell honestly" I replied quietly.
Everything went quiet for a moment.
.....
(Ugh this is so awkward, never mind I'm gonna do it.)
"Hey, Skyler can you wait here for a moment I'll be right back," I said getting up in a hurry.
"huh, but where are you-"
"I JUST GOTA GO, I'LL BE BACK IN A BIT DON'T GO ANYWHERE"
Skyler looked at me as I rushed away.
I went to a nearby shop and bought some clothes and other essential accessories.
After about 30 minutes I came back.
*huff huff* "sorry it took a while."
"ah I thought you ran away" Skyler replied looking at me confused.
He then noticed the bag I was holding.
"What's that", he asked.
"Well, we are going out," I replied catching my breath.
"What do you mean? you do know that I can't go right" he replied looking unbothered.
"You said you can't go 'cause of your aunt right?" I replied grabbing his face and making him hold the bag I just bought.
"Right," He said opening the bag.
"Well let's take you out in a disguise!"
"What?", he asked while taking out a piece of cloth from the bag.
"...a skirt?"
He looked at me in disbelief, with the most judging expression.
"Don't look at me like that! I said I'm taking you out! You can disguise yourself as a girl so that no one can tell it's you!!!" I said flustered
"You know you could have just bought a face mask or something instead of a skirt and this...wig...?"
A blush ran down my face...I...didn't think that far...
" J..just shut up and wear what I bought for you! don't be ungrateful!!" I said hiding my embarrassed face.
" hmm ok," he replied.
Everything went quiet for 15 seconds, it was awkward again and I was still hiding my face.
(Ah isn't he gonna say something???)
I turned around to see why he was quiet all of a sudden.
(There he was only in his underwear, his body was so pretty, so pale and beautiful...WAIT NO ALEX WHERE'S THE SHAME INSIDE YOU? TURN AROUND!)
"WH...WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!", flustered I turned around.
It felt like my face was about to explode.
"What I'm just changing into the clothes you bought me". He said in a calm tone.
"At least tell me before you start changing dude!"
"Jeez " dude" ", he stepped closer to me "I have a dick remember? No need to be so flustered".
He got closer and lightly touched my neck.
"H-H-HEY! hurry up and get dressed already!" I felt the shivers going down my spine.
"But I am dressed," he replied in a cheeky voice.
I peeked to look and he wasn't dressed ...at all.
In a hurry, I grabbed the skirt and dressed him for his own sake. Touching his bare skin, though my eyes were still closed.
"Ugh this is so weird", I mumbled.
He chuckled lightly and put on the wig I bought for him.
"ok I'm ready you can look at me now," he said turning around.
"Thank God I-" my words stopped.
He looked so beautiful, better than any girl I have ever seen in my life. Long hair looked so good on him and Skyler...he looked so pretty. Everything looked so good when it was on him.
"Wow...", word came out of my mouth without thinking.
"Hmm what was that?"
"N...NOTHING!" I said turning around "M..M...MOVE! WE HAVE TO GET GOING !!"
He looked so beautiful, but I could tell it was Skyler. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have guessed it was him.
I started to walk fast, still blushing like crazy, hoping he couldn't see my face.
Skyler chuckled as he started to follow me.
