My Double Life

Chapter 29

Skylar's POV

I'm going to see Kendrick for the first time again since our date and I don't know whether I should be nervous or act cool and pretend it doesn't affect me. Sure we've spoken over the phone but that's over the phone! Seeing him in person will be different.

I mentally curse myself for rejecting all those other date offers. Maybe then I would've gotten some experience as how to handle situations like these.

"Am I the only who's noticing all these strange black cars driving around in our neighbourhood?" My dad asks looking out the front yard with the curtain shifted just enough for him to see

My eyebrows furrow in confusion but realization quickly draws in, Ben. I'm hoping and praying that Victoria hasn't cracked just yet. If so, i can just imagine the dangers I'm in.

"Skylar." Dad calls after I don't respond and approaches me

"Uh yeah, I've been seen them at school too." I say shaking my head out of the trance I was in

"Maybe the Government is busy with something or do you think its one of those 'catching the bad guy' missions assigned by the FBI? Maybe the suspect lives in our neighbourhood." He says excitedly

I'm going with the bad guy theory because technically it is.

"You watch too many crime shows dad. I'm heading off to school now." I say getting up and rinsing my cereal bowl before putting it in the dish washer

"Alright, ride safe okay and avoid being shot at if things go down." He jokes. "I love you." He tells me

I go over and give him a kiss on his cheek as well as Sergiana

"I love you both." I say as I head out the front door to my transportation

Yep, I got a bicycle ladies and gentlemen. I look like a normal teenager now.

Who am I kidding, normal teenagers have cars but no, Randy doesn't approve of that. It's okay though, riding the bicycle with the wind blowing in my hair on a beautiful Monday morning is something I could get used to.

One of the cars come driving slow past me as I paddle away on my bicycle. They stop for a moment and drive at the same pace as me. My heart is pounding hard against my chest but I don't show it. I have a huge child like grin on my face, pretending that its a wonderful day and I'm just another normal teenage girl.

The passenger window is rolled down revealing a scary looking bold guy with a scar above  his left eye and on the corners of his mouth. He doesn't say anything, he just continues to look at me

Rude!

"Hi." I say in my girliest most annoying voice with the stupid smile still plastered on my face.

The guy rolls his window back up and they drive away. I let out a shaky breath and continue my way to school.

Coming into the gates, I spot another black vehicle parked not far away from the school.

Wow.. I didn't think I was that much of a deal

"Hey hey hey." I greet Gabby as I walk over to my locker. Hers is not far from mine

She takes her attention away from whatever she was doing and looks at me, sending a smile my way

"Hey, you seem cheery. I'm guessing that date went well." She smirks

"Don't tease me please. I'm already nervous to see him as it is." I pout and she laughs

My pout is replaced by a frown. She walks over to me and places both her hands on my shoulders
