The two of us walked into his kitchen and we sat at the kitchen table. " So what exactly did this Claire say?" He asked me.

" Just that they found the body of the real Captain John. Meaning that this one is an imposter." I told him rubbing my head.

        " You good?" He asked me.

" Yeah just a headache." I smiled. " We should probably go wake up Myra and Clint soon." I said noticing the time. We have school in about 2 hours.

" Are you sure you don't want to skip?" He asked me.                                                                                          " I promised a new student that I would help them with their schedule today and I feel bad just ditching them." I said while standing up.

    " Who is it?" He asked me standing up too.                                                                                                            " His name is Seth." I said and started walking towards the stairs with Cole right behind me. I cracked open the door and saw Myra and Clint sleeping on the bed with Karlie in between them with her little hand in her mouth. I walked over to the bed and shook Myra awake who ended up trying to punch me in the face but luckily I dodged it. She is most definitely not a morning person. Clint on the other hand was already dressed before Myra even opened her eyes.

          "Ugh I need to drop my sister off at pre-K." She groaned.                                                                        "I can drive you Skye." Said Cole in the doorframe.                                                                                               " Can Clint come with us?" I asked hopeful.

      "No." He groaned.

      " Then I'm going with Myra." I said back practically daring him to say no to Clint again.                             " Fine." He groaned.

Once we were all ready we got into Coles car. " If you even so much as breath on my seats I will have you brutally murdered." Cole snapped at Clint.

" Seriously!" I whisper yelled at him. I don't understand why he has to be so mean to people all the time. The rumors that have been spread across the school for years are practically the complete opposite of who he actually is. He is so kind and caring even if he doesn't want to show it. I was looking out the window and taking in the view of trees blurring as we sped past them. 

" Skye Did you end up finishing Ms.Waters  Essay Assignment?" asked Clint from the back seat. Dang it! Dang it!                                                                                                                                                                "When is it due?" I asked freaking out. It cant be due today it just cant be. I've never turned in a late assignment especially not in English this will look so bad for college. I'm in extremely deep cow poop if it is.                                                                                                                                                                       " Relax its due tomorrow I can help you if you want I finished yesterday." He smiled warmly.

Once, Cole parked the car the three of us made our way into the horrific building. This place is like a dungeon. They force you to do things that you don't want to do and then they give you un-necessary work. Even though I hate school, my dad always taught me that I should be grateful for my opportunity to get to learn, since there were kids at where he was stationed who could get killed for even looking at a book. Ever since he told me that I have never missed a day of school and am always on time with my assignments no matter how big or small.

"I'm going to go to my locker." I said while departing from them.                                                                  "I'll meet you there in 5."Said Cole.

Clint's locker was 3 lockers down from mine so we continued walking down the hallway. I opened my locker with a creek and then grabbed the books I needed for today. I was about to close it when I felt a presence behind me. I quickly turned around to see.                                                  "Do you think you can help me figure out my schedule?" He asked smiling down at me. "Of Course I can." I said as he handed me the piece of paper.

I noticed he had four of the same classes as me. "We have block 1, 3,8,and 9 together." I spoke excitedly.                                                                                                                                                                                  " Thank the lord!" He smiled. " How was your weekend?" He asked me being polite.

" It could have been better, you?"I asked not wanting to tell him that, oh after you dropped me off I was almost kidnapped by psychopaths in my own home.

"Mine could have been better also, I was freaking out mostly about how much I'm going to have to catch up and just starting at a new school, you know." He shrugged scratching his head.

       I suddenly noticed an angry looking Cole storming towards us from down the hallway. I think Seth noticed my wide eyes and immediately turned to see what I was looking at.                              "Is that Cole Black?" he turned around and asked me quietly. I just nodded confused as to how he knows him if its his first day here.                                                                                                                           " Seth what the hell are you doing here?" Asked a furious Cole.

"Cole, Calm down." I spoke stepping in front of him. He glanced down at me and his gaze softened for like a millisecond before it turned back to a scowl. He started pulling me away from our current spot.

" I'm sorry but I'm not letting you hang out around him." He said rubbing his temple. Did I just hear him correctly. No one, and I mean no one has the right to tell me who I can and cannot be around.

"No, remember I told you he was my friend he is new here anyways, so I'm not just going to abandon him. How do you guys know each other anyway?" I asked getting frustrated with this conversation.

"He isn't a good person. He's done things, bad things, he will just try to trick you into doing stuff, he isn't who he makes himself out to be." He spoke looking down at me with his beautiful blue eyes.                                                                                                                                                                                       "That doesn't mean you can tell me I can't talk to him, and I am going to at least be kind and polite to him and if I realize that you were right then I will keep my distance." I said trying to compromise. He gave me a dirty look before nodding in agreement. " Let's head to class." I said right when the fire alarm went off. You've got to be kidding me.

Cole's POV

                     When I walked to Skye's locker to see him there next to her smiling and her smiling back it made my blood boil. When I was younger I made some extremely poor life decisions and I realize now how messed up they were. Let's just say Seth Rogerson was apart of majority of them. He was into some extremely messed up shit. I being my extremely responsible self tried removing her from whatever situation he was putting her in. That's why I don't understand why she was fighting me on this instead of thanking me.

I mean I guess she doesn't know the whole story but I sure as hell don't plan on telling her any time soon, she has way too much on her plate as it is. She was about to convince me to head to class when the fire drill went off. You've got to be kidding me. It's pouring rain out there. I quickly grabbed her hand and leader her towards the back exit since majority of the students were going out the front. We headed out the back hand in hand when Rebecca shoved in between Skye and I as she replaced my hand with her own. I immediately shoved her out of the way while shooting her a dirty look to grab Skye back. " Sorry about that." I muttered to Skye, ignoring the shell shocked whore behind me.

" She doesn't know how to back off." I growled.

" Can we please skip today." I begged her debating whether to drop down on my knees.

" Fine but only this once." She sighed.

"Great lets go." I said pulling her to my car in the senior lot in the back.

" Where are we going?" She asked with a dimpled smile.

" I don't know, where would you like to go?" I asked her. She just shrugged. We passed a trampoline park and I got an amazing idea. I pulled into the lot and noticed how her eyes widened.

"I've never been to one of these before." She said looking up at me.

"You'll love it don't worry." I squeezed her hand. We both got out of the car and walked towards the entrance. The rain was still coming down pretty hard. I payed for both of our tickets and then we sat on one of those extremely uncomfortable benches with the rubber holes in them while waiting for our designated time.

" Can I ask you something?" She said looking up at me with those beautiful blue eyes. I just nodded motioning for her to continue. " What are we?" Her question caught me off guard. I Definitely have feelings towards her and I'm sure she has them towards me too. Friends don't kiss, friends don't do half the stuff we do together. My friends are all assholes who just party all the damn time.

" What do you think we are?" I asked her. She didn't answer right away but when she was about to they called our time.

"Lets go back there. So everyone doesn't have to see you completely fail." I whispered in her ear causing her to swat at me playfully. I pulled her towards the back of the trampoline park and started jumping causing her to lose her balance.

" That was so mean!" She yelled at me while I was about to fall over from laughing. Before I could even realize what was happening I felt a leg connect with my shin knocking me down. I glanced over to see Skye dying of laughter right next to me.

"You're so gonna get it." I said picking her up and throwing her gently at the trampoline on the wall. Now we were both laughing. when she bounced back to our rectangle from the one on the wall I caught her while pressing my lips to hers. She immediately kissed back. I wanted to take this farther but her being her gave me a don't you think about it look. We both sat down in our rectangle and just talked.

" Let's talk about what we were discussing earlier." She said causing her cheeks to tint red.

"What were we discussing again?" I smirked being my annoying self. She immediately caught on and swatted my arm. As much as I want her to be my girlfriend I just felt like this wasn't the right time. I wanted it to be more special then us sitting on a trampoline around screaming kids that are half of our age."Friends." I said and her face dropped slightly but she immediately shook it off. Shit. As much as I wanted to ask her I wanted to make it more special than this.

"Our time here is going to end in a minute maybe we should just go." She said. Great I've ruined it.

" Why because I said we were friends." I snapped, before realizing what I said. "Sorry I didn't mean that." I breathed out. We walked over to the cubby where we put our stuff. She pulled out her phone and began calling someone.

"Hey Seth, Is everything ok?" She whispered. Probably hoping I wouldn't hear anything. Wrong. I yanked the phone from her grip and told Seth to Fuck-off before hanging up. "What the hell?" she snapped grabbing it back.

"You have no right to act this way!" She snapped. I looked around and noticed a few people were looking at us.

"Let's go outside." I said pulling her towards the door.

"You act like your my boyfriend all the time! You act all, you can't do this, you can't do that and I am so sick of it. Plus you have made in clear that we are just friends so you have no right!" She yelled at me.

"I have every right! Your the one who practically threw yourself at me and now that I said we aren't dating you go to the next guy in your long line!" I snapped immediately regretting it.

"I've been throwing myself at you?" She laughed. " Your the one who invited me to that party remember and then I get there to see you practically in the biggest drama queen on this planet's pants! So don't you ever treat my like one of your hook-ups ever!" She yelled.

"I'm going home Claire is there don't expect me to go back to your house." She said her eyes welling up with tears.

" Wait let me drive you at least its pouring out here." I said rubbing my head.

"I'm fine." She said while walking away from me towards the sidewalk.

Just to be sure I got in my car and followed her. I screwed up big time. She is none of the things I called her. When she got to her street I headed home. I stormed up to my room and threw my jar of pens and pencils at the wall causing it to shatter. I grabbed my notebook from underneath my mattress and began drawing a portrait of her laughing at the trampoline park. The way her dimples appeared by her mouth to the way her cheeks tainted red. To her perfect smile. When I finished it was around 5pm. I drove to her house and knocked on the door. A woman with dark hair and bags under her eyes answered the door. "Who the hell are you?" I asked not in the mood to be polite.

"Goodbye." She said while trying to shove the door shut but I kept my foot in the way.

"Where is she?" I snapped.

"Cole, what are you doing here?" Asked a tired looking Skye from the stairs.

" I have something for you." I said handing the envelope to her and getting into my car. I really hope she likes it and takes it as an olive branch.
