Sky's P.O.V
I was peacefully eating my lunch when I felt someone's presence behind me. I looked back and saw Evan.
Giving him a smile, I motioned for him to come and sit next to me. He obliged and sat down. I frowned when I saw that he didn't have any lunch on him.
"Where's your lunch?"
His eyes widened and he quickly replied with "I've already had lunch"
"But lunch only started like five minutes ago"
"And your point is?"
I gave him a suspicious look and said "There's no anyone can eat their lunch in under five minutes"
"I'm a very fast eater" He shrugged but wouldn't meet my eyes.
"Right...."
"Plus, it's not like you can say much. All you're having is a salad"
I looked down and scowled.
"Yeah but that's different"
"Yeah? How?" Because I can't afford proper food, you idiot.
"Because I was in a rush this morning and I saw this on the table so I just took it"
He looked at me and gave me a-who's-lying-now look. I rolled my eyes and carried on eating. Once I had finished, we both got up and decided to go for a walk around the school.
We talked about random stuff like how chocolate is very tasty and how the Telly Tubbies were very scary in black and white.
"Hey, about the project, where shall we do it?"
"Let's do it at your house" I replied quickly. There is no way I'm taking to my house. There is no way he can see my dad.
"Uh, actually I was hoping we could do it at yours" He scratched the back of his neck.
"Why, what's wrong with your house?"
He looked away and stayed silent for a few minutes. Just when I thought he was about to spill his horrible past and tell me all his troubles, he said something that made me pee myself with laughter.
"My little brother eats a lot of beans and he keeps on farting, and trust me, it's bad"
We agreed on doing it in the library that was near the house. We decided we'd start today after school at five o'clock. He gave me his phone number and address and by the time we stopped talking, the bell went.
"Bye"
He waved back then walked away.
~*~*~*~
"Is anyone sitting here?"
I looked up and was surprised when I saw Alison close to me.
I gave her a questioning look. Why the hell would she want to sit by me? She hates me. She makes fun of me and humiliates me in front of everyone all the time.
"No"
She smiled and was about to sit down when I stopped her.
"But that doesn't mean that you can"
Her smile was immediately wiped away and a frown replaced it. She ignored me and sat down anyway.
Ugh. I hate it when people ask you something, you tell them the answer, but they still do the opposite of what you say.
Like, why ask in the first place?
"Look, I just want to be friends" She started but I cut her off again.
"Yeah well I don't so bye" He shooed her away with my hands and faced the whiteboard again.
It was hard to concentrate at what the teacher was saying when I had a weird, stupid, bipolar idiot staring at the side of my head.
"Do you mind?"
Like, I know I'm amazing and everything, but seriously, she needs to quit staring. It's creeping me out and making me feel uncomfortable.
"I don't get why you're being so mean, I'm just trying to be nice. I just want to be friends again"
"Oh so I'm the mean one? Well excuse me, but I'm not the one who has been humiliating and picking on people for the last few years. You have. So no, I don't want to be friends again. So just go away"
"Ok, I'm sorry for everything I've done for the past few years. It was horrible of me-" "yeah it was" She glares at me for interrupting then carries on talking. "But I think we should just pretend like none of that happened and start again. You know what they say, forgive and forget" She smiles because she probably thought that I agreed with her.
I gave her a fake smile and said "Well I don't want to forgive you and nor do I want to forget all the crap you've put me through. So this is the last time I'm saying it" I went really close to ger face, so close that I could smell her breath.
And man did it smell.
"Leave.Me.Alone" I said it slowly as if I were talking to a five year old. She huffed and looked away.
You see, people like her always want back the love they gave away. But people like me can't believe her when she says she's 'changed'. But the more I think about it now, the less I know.
All I know is that she drove us off the road.
All she had to was stay. We were best friends, we were really close. She had me in the palm of her hands. But then she goes and locks me out when I let her in.
And now she says she wants it back, but it's too late. Well, it could have been easy.
All she had to do was stay.
Here she is now talking to me, but I don't know what to say. I've been picking up the pieces of the mess she made. People like her always want back the love they pushed aside. But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye.
~*~*~*~
Luckily, work only started at half seven in the afternoon today. Which means I have about two hours to start the project with Evan, which I'm sure is more than enough. Plus, even if we did need more time, I don't think Evan would mind carrying on on different day.
I smiled at the though of Evan, he is the first friend I've had in over thirteen years.
Yeah, I know. Sad.
I have a feeling that he's not going to be like the others, like Alison, but he's going to be different. He's actually going to stay and we'll be great friends.
Maybe even best friends.
The thought of having a best friend exited me and I couldn't help but letting out a loud, high pitched squeal. The people who were walking nearby on the streets stopped and gave me strange looks. Judgmental looks.
I rolled my eyes, put my middle finger up high and walked away. I could hear some gasps behind me which made me smirk, yeah that's right, I'm the boss.
It took me about half an hour to get to the library, and when I did, I realized something. This is the place where I had come to a couple of days ago, where the policeman had been chasing me.
Hehe, lol. I'm such a badass.
My thoughts then started to wonder off to the guy who- I thought was nice but was actually an asshole- saved me by letting me on his motorbike.
That was the first time I saw him. The second time was in the pub, when I had accidentally spilled my drink on his clothes. The third time I saw him was when I was working at Debenhams.
Did you see how I said 'was'? Yeah? That's because the stupid asshole got me fired. He wanted to steal. Steal. S.T.E.A.L. You know, when you just take something without paying for it. He asked me to let him steal. I mean what idiot does that?
You don't go up to someone and ask them to let you steal. And especially not to a staff who works in the shop. Like seriously dude, that's just stupid.
"Are you just going to stand there all day?"
I looked around to find the source of the voice and saw Evan. I smiled and walked quickly towards him.
"Hey Evan"
"Hey. By the way, you never told me what your name was" Really? I was talking to this guy for the whole lunch break and I'm doing a project with him, and I didn't bother telling him my name?
"Oh, that's weird"
"Yeah it is isn't it"
I nodded. "Sky"
"Yeah the sky looks beautiful tonight"
I laughed and shook my head. "No, what I meant was my name is Sky"
His eyes widened and he flushed in embarrassment. I giggled at his face then made my way towards the entrance of the library.
I'm not sure if this happened or not, but I think I heard Evan mutter something under his breath.
Something along the lines of 'Sky looked beautiful too'
Awwwww. Isn't Evan so cute? Lol, and he keeps blushing at everything.
Two updates in one week, I must say, I'm proud of myself.
And btw, clicking the star at the bottom doesn't take more than two seconds, it won't take you long.
