Chapter 9.
Ahh.. Good morning, birds. I sat up with a smile and stretched like how any other princesses would do. The birds will still chirping. Oh, what a lovely sound. I got out of bed, still smiling,and walk to the window where the birds were chirping and hit the window hardly, making a bang sound. Well, that seems to shoo them away. I sighed an annoyed sigh and took my towel and head to the bathroom or what I like to call 'My second bed in the morning'. Yes, I sometimes sleep in the shower.
After showering.
I got dressed in a sweater with a thick jacket on top of it and a pair of jeans and black leggings underneath it. I thought school'd suppose to be canceled since it was snowing but, sadly, no, it was not canceled. Asses. I wore a black beanie and took my phone from my dressing table. Okay that's all let's go. So I went down to the living room and saw Rebecca dressed in pink. Oh gosh,why pink? She was talking to someone on the phone.
"Baby..." Oh, her boyfriend.
I rolled my eyes at her 'voice' and walk pass her and out the door. I didn't want to wait in the snow but it's better than hearing her whine to Tyler. So, why not wait in the cold snow right? Yep. I walk towards her car and lean on it, waiting for that idiot. I wonder what'll they be talking about. Probably about dates and other romantic stuff that are surely gonna happen. Note the sarcasm. Is that what relationships are like? I haven't been in a relationship before. I think it's annoying because you'd have to speak to your partner everyday. Just imagine how annoying would that be if he'd text you every single shit that happened to him or her. Okay, stop. I blinked once and realized that I'm still waiting for her. Ugh! I walk towards the door and heard her talking. I slap my hand on the door knob and twist it , opening our brown, wooden door. I stuck my head in our house.
"I'm walking, slow coach!" I shouted.
I pulled back my head and slam the door shut. I've been waiting for so long that Frodo, from The Hobbits, has probably reach his destination. That's how long I've waited. I huffed and turn my back to the door. Let's start our journey, shall we? I walk down the driveway and onto the pavement. I look back at our house. Our house is quite big and I just realized. Good job, Skylar. You've been living in that house for 17 years and you didn't know that, a round of applause please. A car passed by me. A far too familiar car. Looking at the number plate, it was Rebecca. She didn't bother fetch her sister to school, nice. I couldn't see her number plate anymore, the numbers got blur. And nature is more better than being in the car with Rebecca.
*~*~*
After walking for minutes or what seems like hours, I finally reach my school's parking lot. First I saw was girls fixing their make-up and guys talking. Literally 90% of the girls wore pink today. Is it 'Pink Day' today? Oh gosh I hope not. I spotted Kyle making out with a girl, that's normal. I spotted Tyler talking to his friends with his arm slung over Rebecca's shoulder. Fake. I rolled my eyes and quickly walk into the school, not wanting to see the sight of them.
After school.
I walk out of our school and spotted a lot of people talking, leaning on their cars and making out in the middle of the parking lot. Finally, I spotted Rebecca's car, she wasn't there. Oh, come on! They're having cheer practice! Where? In the locker room? Whatever, I'm just going to walk home. I pass Rebecca's car without looking at it. I felt disgusted looking at it. It made me thought of Rebecca and Tyler. If you know what I mean. I walk out of the school gate. It's not like there weren't anyone walking home, they walk with their friends while I don't. Who cares, right? Friends are not important, at all. I huffed in annoyance and start walking home.
*~*~*
Walking into the woods, I heard humans talking. Who's here? I turn my head to the direction the voice was coming and saw a guy with his group of friends, sitting at the place I slept. Why were they there? Great, now I can't sleep there. I turn around and walk away, the leaves crunching whenever I put my foot down on the ground.
"Skylar!" Someone shouted.
Startled I turn around and saw William. We weren't far from each other and he's holding a cigarette with his right hand. He's smoking? Stupid question, Skylar. He's holding a cigarette and you're asking that question.
"Hey, William. What're you doing here?" I asked.
"Just chilling with Jacob and the others." He walked closer to me.
Jacob? Who da'fuck is that?
"Jacob?" I asked him in a more polite way.
"The guy that was beside me that day, at the mall." He waved his cigarette around as he explain.
"Oh.. That guy." I respond.
He put the cigarette to his mouth and suck it. He let go of the cigarette and exhaled smoke at my face. I coughed and wave a hand in front of my face.
"Are you dumb or dumb?" I glare at him.
He chuckled and and swung an arm over my shoulder.
"I was wondering, what do you do here? Do you come here with guys, nerd?" He said.
"No, In fact I-" I stopped mid-sentence when I realized what he said.
I started slapping his shoulder repeatedly while he chuckled. He's so dirty minded! Ew! I bet he comes to the woods and hook up with sluts. I stop hitting him and cross my arm over my shoulder, shivering. He took a last puff from his cigarette and threw it to the ground, stomping on it.
"Cold?" He asked me.
I look at him with the 'what-do-you-think' look.
"Okay, okay. I'll warm you up." He scooted closer to me and hug me.
I can't help but hug him back. He was so warm, I wish I could cuddle with him but that would be weird. I mean, a girl and boy cuddling together and they're no even in a relationship. It's like friends with benefits.
"You can let go now." He suggested.
"No." I mumbled in to his chest.
I heard him sigh and the next thing I know, we were falling to the ground. We landed with a thud. What? I let go of him and pushed my hand my hands, making me tower over him. He smirked at me.
"Woahkay! Let's get up!" I pushed myself off the ground.
I dusted myself and extended a hand towards William, wanting to help him get on his feet. But, instead of me pulling him up, he pulls me down. I grunted when I land on the cold, snowy floor.
"Thanks." I rolled my eyes and sit up.
A hand grab my shoulder and pull me back down. Gosh, I think I'm gonna get abs if he does that again. I land on the ground, again. Okay, that was already tiring. I should just stay on the ground. I lay there, on the ground, thinking what's happening to my life right now. I'm still an outcast, nothing's change and let's see.. I've been ignoring my sister, nothing's change and I've been tutoring Tyler. Wait, shit! I quickly sat up and got onto my feet. I grab my bag and run off. I bet William thinks I'm crazy or something.
"Bye, William! See you next time!" I shouted while running.
I took out my phone and search for Tyler's number. I didn't save his number but let's hope I'm still having his number on the night he called me. I scroll and scroll while I ran as if zombies were chasing me. Aha! There it is! I tap on the number and it started calling.
"Hello?" Tyler's sleepy voice answered after several rings.
His sleepy voice was heavenly sexy. Ah! Snap out of it, Skylar. I stop running. When I stop running I almost slip on the slippery pavement. Thank god I didn't fall on my but or else the frozen pavement will crack.
"Hey, Tyler. Tutoring today?" I asked as I held my heart from the shock I got when I almost fall.
"Who's that?" A girl voiced said through the phone.
"Uhh.. No. I'm kinda busy." He respond.
Are you serious? I ran through the woods and almost slip and he canceled the tutoring without telling me. Wait, who the fuck is that girl, it sounded like Rebecca. Ew! Are they..? Oh gosh! No, no, no.
"Oh, okay. What about tomorrow?" I ignored the processing on my mind.
"Yea, okay." He said and hang up.
That was disgusting. I just spoke to a guy that had sex with my sister. My twin. Another part of me. Me. Ahh! I rubbed my arms roughly. Okay, okay chill, Skylar. Let's pretend this didn't happen and go home. And so I did, I started walking back home.
