Chapter Four

'Skylar, you really shouldn't be asleep' Jamerson says making me wake up and sit confused as not a few seconds ago I was in the land of the fallen angels, and I had basically made a deal with a devil and got told that I would have to look out for Sam because something terrible is going to happen.

I run my finger across the car window lost in thought as Jamerson takes me to school, I put my hand in my lap and turn my focus to the road, blowing out a long tired breath from staying up late the night before, I lay my head back and enjoy the comfortable silence that fills the car.

'Miss Skylar your parents are working late today so when you arrive home nobody is going to be there, as Mia and I have to go to the hospital for her appointment' Jamerson says and I nod. My mum is the supreme judge and my father is a detective, they both work for the same law firm so this results to them working late nights and being away a lot, so I don't really have a relationship with them. An I guess they aren't really my real parents either I swallow the lump that had formed in my throat and push back the tears my whole life I have been lied to.

I nod my head and stare into space, it has been eight long and emotional weeks since I have been at school. Only eight weeks ago my grandmother died and she was the closest thing I had to a parent she was always around and looking after me that now it's weird to not have her nagging at me, Mia and Jamerson try their best and I love them for it but it is just not the same, not to mention I made a deal with the devil and found out that I am adopted.

I pick my bag up from the bottom of the car as we pull up at Whitmore high I take a deep breath out and open the door giving Jamerson a small wave goodbye, I make my way up the steps with a sigh, my silent debate in my head on whether I should just go home is interrupted when Lily comes running over.

She pulls me into a hug without thinking I just let the warmth engulf me, ' it has been so boring without you' she starts, as I get things from my locker and start putting my books I didn't need away.

'Okay so you have a lot to catch up on...you know gossip wise' she says with an untold amount of hand gestures for effect, I nod stifling a laugh and we walk into homeroom, as we walk in people turn our way and some give a smile and a nod then turn back to their conversations.

Lily walks to the desk and for some reason, I stand in the doorway lost in thought but not for long I am broken out of my daydream as A tall figure pushes past me to get into the classroom and I fall to the floor with a thud.

I pick my bag up and get off the floor and look up I look at the crystal blue eyes that could only belong to Sam Jones, ' watch where you're going would you' he says then walks to his seat leaving me in shock.

I shake my head and follow after him' you are the one who pushed me' I said with a huff and he stared at me with pure amusement, he stands up from his desk and towers over me I look up and our eyes lock just as I was going to say something Ms Davis walk through the classroom doors.

'Now will you two both sit down and stop giving each googly eyes' she says and I feel my face turn fifty shades of red, Sam laughs and sits in his seat, I stomp over to my seat and sit down head in my hand, I cringe at the uncanny feeling in my stomach like something bad is going to happen.
