I Know You Feel The Same Way.

Chapter 8 - Invitation

(Skylar's POV)

*The Next Day*

I lay miserably in the corner of my room, listening to perky music, which no doesn't help.

"Sky..." Katie mumbles, knocking on the door, then opening it.

"What are you doing here." I mutter under my breath.

"I was worried..." She explains.

"Well don't be. I'm just peachy." I reply sarcastically.

"And another thing..." She starts.

"I'm listening." I tell her.

"Well you see... Jeffrey's having a ummm... Party thing? It's a ski trip. He insisted that we came.. Well you. I think we should go." She suggests.

"The last social event I attended didn't go so great." I answer.

"Come on, Sky... If we're going you need to be ready in an hour." She demands, stomping out. I roll my eyes and lean back into the chair.

*Text Conversation*

Anika: Heyyyy👀

Skylar: Hi

Anika: Wyd?

Skylar: Not having a life, you?

Anika: Getting ready for Jeff's party😍💦

Skylar: Oh.

Anika: What.

Skylar: Nothing.

Anika: You're going.. Right?

Skylar: Nah.

Anika: No. You are.

Skylar: I don't want to.

Anika: I didn't want to go to the dance, but guess who dragged me there.

Skylar: Yeah because that dance turned out great for everyone.

Anika: I don't care, you're coming or so help me.

Skylar: Fine.

Anika: TANKS.

Skylar: mhmmm

*End Text Conversation*

I groan, pulling myself out of bed, and into my closet. I throw clothes out and onto the bed searching for my skiing stuff, I finally find it in a small duffle bag in the back of the closet. I pull on a windbreaker and boots as soon as Katie comes back in.

"Times up. Let's go." She says, leading me out.

"No way it's been a hour." I reply.

"Well I want to be early, c'mon." She insists, dragging my duffle bag.

(Jeffrey's POV)

"Remind me again why you invited them. They're no exactly the most popular girls." Julia asks, adjusting her jacket.

"Because." I answer simply.

"Well great answer you got there. Won't she be ticked when she finds out you invited Patrick and that girl?" She questions.

"No. They're not invited." I explain.

"What. Jeff. Y-" She starts.

"He's sick. He can't come. That's why I didn't bother to invite him." I lie, because I know exactly what this looks like.

"Whatever c'mon we're going to be late." She suggests, fixing a strand of her hair.

(Anika's POV)

I sit at one of the tables, reassuring myself that I have everything. I get bored so I decide to go out and get some fresh air, rather than the smell of that creepy old dude by the vending machine. I see Jeffrey get out of his car with... Julz... Oh walk away... Walk away. Eh what heck. "HI JEFF!" I scream across the parking lot.
"HI ANIKA!" He yells back, oh my lawd. (The cable turned off.) He knows my name. I wave and he laughs, grabbing his skiing stuff out of the car.
