AFTER I GOT ready, I caught Sarah up on everything and she high-fived me. "There's my evil best friend!"

There was a knock on the door and Sarah and I raced to the door. Sarah got to it first and I glared at her because I knew exactly what she was going to do. "Have fun on your date." She smirked.

I rolled my eyes and Lucas started laughing. When we got outside, I froze on the porch. "We're going in your Mustang?"

Lucas nodded. "Yeah, why are you so worried about it?"

I scoffed. "I just thought you wouldn't want to bring attention to the fact that you're taking a Greaser out."

"It doesn't matter if you're a Greaser or a unicorn. I'd still take you out on a date." Lucas smiled and I felt my cheeks heat up the same color of red his Mustang was.

We walked into the Dingo and Jay's and I immediately ran to give Ashley a hug. "How are you doing?" I questioned, while sitting down at the booth with Lucas.

"I'm doing perfectly fine! How about you?" She asked, and I immediately laughed. "I could be better. Soda and I are not exactly on speaking terms at the moment."

"I'm sorry to hear about that. Who's this handsome fella with you here?" She smirked while handing us drinks.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. "Please don't call him handsome, you'll feed on his ego."

Lucas pretended to look hurt and I flipped him off while smirking, causing Ashley to laugh. "Just a friend." I spoke, giving her my order. After Lucas gave her his order and she walked away, he kept staring me down.

"What?" I snapped.

"You're the sassiest and feistiest girl I've met and trust me, I've met a lot of girls." He bragged which caused me to actually gag.

We were eating our food and having a great time. "So," Lucas began, "I have this rodeo coming up. You know, since we live in Texas and I was wondering if you wanted to come watch me. You could bring your friends too."

I took a sip of my Dr.Pepper and grinned. "I'd love to."

Just then the door to the Dingo and Jay's opened. I rolled my eyes and mumbled, "Look what the cat dragged in."

[Skylar's face when she saw Sandy LMAOOO]

Sandy and Soda both entered the Dingo and Jay's, and I immediately tried to have a great conversation with Lucas. This is my chance to make Soda pop.

Lucas started telling me about one time that he was drunk, and I busted out into laughter - real laughter - and it was so loud. Soda and Sandy glanced over and Soda immediately glared at us, and then when he saw me laughing he..... grinned? Smirked?

Sandy came over to us and I rolled my eyes. "Look what we have here, Skylar with another one of my boyfriends. I just ordered some pizza, you want those leftovers too?" Sandy seethed and got right in my face.

I chuckled and stood up to where I was so close in her face, I could see the caked amount of foundation she poured on herself.

"You're just jealous because they all like me way more than you. I mean after all, I don't go kissing guys while I'm still in a relationship." I pouted and shot a smirk towards Soda. Game on.

Soda and Sandy's faces were priceless. I grabbed Lucas and yelled. "Karma, oh karma, I love it when she smacks people in the face!"

LUCAS AND I hopped into his Mustang and drove off. He started laughing and I turned to him. "What?"

He chuckled. "You're so sassy. I like it. You were always that way to me in class. You were the only girl who stood up to me."

I flipped my hair and winked. "I'm also the only girl who will stand up to that monster back there."

Lucas scoffed. "All of the guys hate her. It seems like Soda is the only one who even remotely loves her."

I looked down and sighed. Lucas gave me a sympathetic smile. "I'm sorry, by the way."

"It's whatever. Sandy got what she wanted I guess." I shrugged my shoulders and let the wind smack against my face.

"And what did she want?" Lucas questioned, pulling into my driveway.

"To ruin my life. But that's okay because the thing about me is, you can do whatever you want, I'll just bite back ten times harder." I walked towards the porch and stopped. Lucas was in front of me, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Hey, Huckleberry." I grinned.

"Hey, what, Win?" He asked.

"HA-HURRRRR!" I got up in his face and walked inside, satisfied with the stupid grin on his face.

I closed the door and Dally sat there smirking at me. "Oh no." I groaned and sat down on the couch next to him.

I explained to him everything we were doing. I knew he wasn't going to tell Soda because everything I usually say to Dally goes in one ear and out the other, so he'll probably forget about this after today.

He ruffled my hair. "My sister is so evil and I love it!"

"You know where I got it from." I smirked.

He chuckled and we both said who I got it from at the same time, "ME!" "MOM!"

We both shot weird faces at each other. I scoffed, "I totally got it from Mom, not you." He scoffed at me, "Nah I'm the most evil one. You got it from me."

We argued over this for the past ten minutes until I gave up and walked up to my room. I sat on my bed and sighed until I glanced at my notebook.

I always draw when I'm sad, I don't know why. My fourteen-year-old self's voice came through my head. I slowly picked up my notebook and opened it to an empty page. I sat by my window, grabbed my favorite pencil, and smiled.

FLASHBACK

We were in art class, my favorite class of the day. I raised my hand to go use the bathroom and stopped by the door to listen to my art teacher talk to Sarah. They were talking about me.

"Skylar has something very special, Sarah. She paints from a place few of us are able to reach." She spoke, examining my artwork I just turned in.

"That's because she has an awful life." A Soc snarled and the art teacher told him to shut his mouth. I gulped and slid down the wall onto the ground.

I do have a terrible life, don't I?

//

I SNAPPED OUT of my thoughts and pushed the pencil onto the paper. I sketched and sketched and sketched my feelings out.

When I finished, I sighed satisfyingly and Soda busted through the door. I jumped up and fell off the window, causing my artwork to fly and of course, land right in front of his feet.

He picked it up and his face softened, "you drew this?"
