Skyler's POV pt3

I went to the cafeteria; I saw Alex with a girl there. I don't know what happened to me, but it made my mood go from bad to worse for some reason. Though, I'm pretty sure it was because I saw Alex.

I got my drink and went out to make a phone call to my aunt. And then went about finishing the rest of my classes.

After school was over, my aunt came to pick me up.

"did you have fun today?" she asked.

tsk…She just had to…

"Of course, aunt" I replied gazing out the window.

"Excellent! All those clubbing made up for it right?"

"yeah…"

The rest of the car ride was quiet.

A week went by, and it was time for our class.

It was raining hard that day. I do not like to stay home whenever it rains. It gives me anxiety and at times, if I do not get out of that house I start to panic.

The panicking and all started after that day my parents died. It rained on that day too.

Luckily on this rainy day, the classes were cancelled.

"Great I can just stay in class. Probably Nobody's going to be there."

I asked my aunt to drop me to my college.

She was a bit reluctant, but she knew I would go crazy if I didn't go then.

"Have fun Skyler", she said after dropping me off.

What am I? 5? I thought to myself as I replied.

"Will do."

I went to the class hoping for some peace and quiet but there was already someone present there. It was Alex.

Great just great. Does this kid ever look at his phone before coming? Real dumb I swear.

I sat as far away from him as possible thinking this would give him a hint to not to communicate with me.

I then took out my sketch book to draw. Drawing these faces really made me calm down.

I was busy doing whatever I wanted when Alex tried to speak to me again.

I still gave him short answers so that he could stop talking. He did eventually.

An hour went by. Luckily, he didn't say a word to me.

After a while, my aunt messaged me, telling me she was going out for lunch, asking if I wanted to join her.

I can't say no to her, So I just agreed.

10 minutes later she texted me again asking me to come outside. I grabbed my umbrella and bag and walked outside.

My Aunt is nice but I 'respect' her and her boundaries a lot. That's why I don't let people who are in the same institution as me near me. She gets a bit too what you could say …worried.

As I was walking towards the exit, I heard Alex call from behind me.

Shit no.

I tried ignoring him, but he just decided to run up to me and grab my shoulder at the same time when my aunt was looking at me.

A feeling of fear filled me. I told him to let me go multiple times, but he would not.

I looked at the car. I could see her staring at me right through the tinted glass.

I had no choice but to come up to him as rude as I can, calling him all sorts of things from being low to harassing people.

Take a hint you dumbass!

He looked down at me, his eyes shocked as ever. I pushed him aggressively to free myself from his grip.

Unfortunately, instead of taking that hint, it just gave him rage.

This guy just can't take a hint!

I turned around to walk to the car. My Aunts eyes were still on me. I could feel those eyes through me.

"Who are you to call me low when you yourself indulge in sexual acts in public!" Alex said suddenly.

Wh-what?

An utter fear ran inside me when I heard those words calling me out from behind me. I turned around. He was holding his phone with the picture of me and Mike kissing.

I looked at the car to check if she saw. She did. Her eyes looked so scary to me at that moment.

So, the shadow that I saw earlier was Alex's.

In a rush I asked him to put the phone down. He looked confused but showed no signs of putting the phone down either.

I pushed myself on him and snatched his phone from his hand, while squeezing his arm to lose the grip. He let out a pained sound. I didn't care.

I deleted the photo from his phone.

I looked at the car again to see if her focus was on something else now.

Of course it wasn't, she was completely focused on us.

Ugh this guy is stupid…A COMPLETE IDIOT. Can't even take a fucking hint. Now aunt's going to …ugh!!

I left his arm and went back at the car mumbling all the things that were making their way to my mind. Leaving Alex behind.

"Hey Skyler! How was your day today?" she said with an excited voice as if to cheer me up while I got in the car.

Well how do you think it was- I thought to myself as I put my bag in but still decided to reply politely as I always do.

"umm it was….good"

"good..good" she muttered as she started to move the car.

A silence filled the car.

After a while she spoke again.

"well...that kid who was he again?"

Of course, she would ask.

"Just a guy from my class"

"He was showing you something on his phone wasn't he … looks like you guys are close!" she said smiling brightly.

Fear took over me.

"haha you know Skyly baby, though I can't see much because of my bad eyesight. Your old aunt can at least make up things she can't see!!" she said laughing loudly.

I crossed my fingers hoping she didn't actually saw what he showed. I was wrong though.

She was way cleverer than I had thought. She might have not seen what was there on Alex's phone but I'm sure she could make it out from even the slightest of the hint possible.

Not that I could, but there was no point lying to her now.

After she stopped laughing, she put on a calm expression.

"Phew…uhm, Skyler" she said clearing her throat. "you know what you have to do right?"

*sigh* all because of that idiot. I have to talk her out some how.

"but aunty it was just Mike and -" I tried to talk her out but she cut me off.

"hmm what was that I think I didn't hear you."

I can't do anything in this situation. She always comes first. Her wishes and commands have and will always be my priority no matter what.

"Yes aunty" I replied.

"Now tell me what you have to do" she said.

"I have to apologize to him."

"That's like my baby! now let's go eat something delicious! How about some pasta from your favourite cafe" she said, her expression changing back to being joyful.

"yes aunty." I said looking out the window.

Today was a long day I swear. I sometimes wish I could just escape this hell hole of a world.

Instead of going to the class I should have just gone to the cliff. This whole mess could have been avoided.
