Chapter 2

"Sky..."

"Sky, wake up it's :10" I recognized my mom's voice. I blink several times trying to adjust my eyes to the brightness coming from my window. I'm sure I turned off my alarm and slept because I had one at 6:40. Yeah I'm pretty slow on morning routines.

I have a feeling that I forgot something,but I don't kn..

Fuck! I have an exam and I didn't study last night. I went to the bathroom, did my business, changed into my uniform and ate my breakfast. On my way to school, I try to study some in the car since mom drives us on her way.

"And I saw her crying in the restroom this morning" Catherine was telling us about some senior girl who got dumped by her boyfriend. Cat, Penny, Eric, James and Dylan sit with me and my best friend Becca during lunch. I really like them all but of course I hate some parts about them too. Becca and I have been friends since freshman year and the other just flowed in through time.

Penny and Eric are together, Becca just broke up with her boyfriend a few weeks ago but I guess she got over it by now, I hope.

My cramps surprisingly didn't show up today, it hurted a little a few minutes before I had my exam but I'm fine now. I did my exam well. Kind of Guessed well. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. I threw my food tray in the bin and went with Becca to class since we had Spanish together.

"All these voices in my head get loud..

I wish that I could shut them out..."

I Love NF, he is so talented. What he said on his Therapy session song was really amazing; it was so real, raw and honest. Things that are rare to find these days.

I had Asp today so I was walking home listening to some music. A gorgeous BMW stopped right next to me. The street was almost empty if those two guys at the right and the middle aged lady weren't there.

I looked up to be met with beautiful brown eyes. He was around 22 I guess, with brown hair and full lips. I didn't stare long though, don't worry.

I smiled since he said nothing, looking at me blankly but he smiled back and said, " Hey" his voice was deep, hoarse.

"Hi" I said, giving him my innocent smile, but not too much so it doesn't seem fake. He stared at me, in a weird way.

"Emm..I was looking for Janet's Coffee, do you know where it is?"he asked. I told him the way, I go there a lot. Their Cookie Dough Smoothie is a killer. He gave me a genuine smile and thanked me. I nodded and smiled, having no words to say. He looked into my eyes as if debating inside about something and then he drove off to Janet's I guess.

The next day I went with Becca and Dylan to grab some ice cream after school since we had nothing to do. We talked for some time and then we went our separate ways. On my way home, I saw the car from yesterday parked near the street I saw the day before. I continued to walk and as I was near the car, the door opened and the guy from yesterday stepped out. He was tall and lean. He was wearing a grey shirt with dark jeans. I moved my eyes back to the path straight forward before he saw me checking him out. God he's hot!

He was walking in my direction and stopped right beside me. " Hi " he says with an adorable smile and I couldn't ignore his hot full lips stretched." Hi, " I replied, giving him a small smile. Was he waiting for me? Of course not. The world doesn't revolve around you Sky.

He stops as we were walking and says,

" I'm Ryder" extending his hand. His eyes were bright, shining through the evening. I like his name already, "Skylar" I said, shaking his hand. He nodded and continued walking "So Skylar, are you a student?" He is trying to make a conversation, I see.... "Can't my outfit tell?" I asked with a smile, brushing my uniform. He chuckled and said "yeah, but I'm sorry I don't talk to clothes" he said and I laughed.

"What are you doing here anyway?" I ask, he looks at me hesitantly. Did he really come for me? That's creepy, but cute.

"I came to grab a coffee and thought I might see you," he said. Really? Weird dude.

"Okay" I said. There was an awkward silence for 2 minutes. "So, what grade are you Miss Skylar?" Thank God someone said something. Ryder turned to me with a smirk. "Junior year Mr Ryder. And what do you do? I'm sure you're not a student" I ask, trying to keep up with the conversation.

" Do I look that old?" He pouted.

"Actually you remind me of my grandpa, but don't worry age is just a number" I said, smirking.

"Ouch" he put his hand on his heart pretending he's hurt.

"Kidding, you look like a college student?"

He chuckled and nodded, "Well yeah, but I am a programmer. I'm supposed to be in college but I already got a job. I still study online though, you know, backup if I get fired" I laughed at that. He really is lucky to get such a good job at this age. Or smart. Which I think is the latter.
