CH-4: The Note

After walking for 15 minutes, I reached home. I opened the door with my keys and entered. I put my bag on the doorstep and went straight to my room. Eventually, it was getting a bit difficult for me to breathe. I lay down on my bed and started crying - 'Why can't I live the way I want' - I don't know when I fell asleep thinking all this.

Third POV

Sky woke up feeling sad. He looked at his alarm clock to see the time—'7:18 PM'—which showed that his mother had come home by now.

He went down to see his mother and found her cooking in the kitchen

Sky's POV

Me: "Hi Mom, how was your first day at work? "

Mom: " Hi, honey, it was great. I also made some friends "

Me: " Good for you. Is dinner ready? "

Mom: " Yup! You go and have a seat. I'll bring the dinner. "

I nodded and went to the dining table and took a seat. Soon, Mom also came with plates in her hands. She placed my plate in front of me and sat beside me. We started eating, but in the middle, she started asking me questions, which was odd. She doesn't do that.

Mom: "So, how was your day at school? "

Me: " It went well. I met some students, and they were great. The teachers are friendly, and yeah, that's it. "

Mom: " Did you make any friends? "

Me: " Not yet, but soon "

Mom: " It will be great. I'm worried about you "

Me: " Don't worry, I'm doing great here "

Mom: " Are you? "

Me: " Yeah, why not? "

Mom: " Sky, your principal called me and told me that you left school early today, Cuz you were not feeling well. "

Me: " I-I-I, *sigh* Okay, yes, I left early. It was just all new to me, new people, new environment. I just need some time to get used to it. I'm sorry "

Mom: " It's okay; we both need time to settle down here but do tell me if something happens. I don't want all that to happen to you again "

Me: "Yeah, Thanks, Mom. It feels good to share things with someone. "

She smiled and started eating her food. I finished mine and went to my room to sleep, but I just couldn't, not because I slept in the afternoon, but because of thinking about what would happen tomorrow.

Me: ' Will Edie and Luna want to be my friends? It would be great if they didn't turn out to be like Kyle. "

Time Skip - School Corridor

As I walked through the corridor, it kept getting quieter and quieter. I felt like everyone was looking at me, right through my soul, like I was some criminal.

I reached my locker and started putting my stuff in it, leaving only the necessary items with me. While doing so, I kept hearing whispers about me. It made me feel so insecure. I just wanted to leave that place and go somewhere with nobody around, just peace, silence, and nature. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard someone greet me.

I turned around and saw Edie and Luna approaching me

Me: " Good morning to you both. "

Luna: " So, what's your first class? "

Me: "I don't clearly remember, I think it was.... "

Edie: " We have math "

Me: "Right! "

Luna: "Wait, you both are classmates?"

Edie: "Yes"

Luna: " WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?!?"

Edie: " CUZ I COULDN'T FIND YOU YESTERDAY. WHERE WERE YOU!?!?"

Luna: "I'll TELL YOU LATER! "

Me: "You both know each other? "

Luna: " Yes! He's my bestie "

Edie: "We have both known each other since elementary school.

Luna: "So, Skyler, do you have any plans for today? "

Me: " I guess not, I'm free today. "

Luna: " Great! How about we three hang out together after school?"

Edie: "Sounds good to me"

Me: " Me too "

Luna: " Perfect! Let's meet after school. "

The bell rang, and they both left to get their things from their lockers. As I was closing my locker, I noticed a small note in the corner with something written on it.

'Please meet me on the rooftop at recess'

It was strange. .why would anyone want to meet me? I decided to follow the note and put it in my pocket. I wonder who this person might be..?

3rd P.O.V

At a distance, two people were looking at Skyler leaving his locker with the note.

???: " Great! He found the note. I hope he will talk to me...

???" I'm sure he will, just don't mess things up.

???: " I won't, I'll just talk to him and maybe also ask him if he agrees..."

???" Well, good luck "

???" Thanks, Bud "
