Robbie Kay: Best Friends For Never

Chapter 4

It was the next day
I greeted Hayes at his locker
"I haven't seen you since yesterday at first period" he says
I shrugged
"I felt sick and went home" I say

Suddenly I see Robbie walk through the doors, his hair messed up and he was wearing a sweatshirt and looked like he hadn't slept for ages

"God, that Robbie kid looks like a wreck" Hayes snorts
"Shut up" I said a little too serious and roll my eyes
"Woah calm down" Hayes backed away
My eyes followed Robbie as he turned and walked around the corner.
"Um I have to head to class early to get missed work" I say
Hayes kissed my cheek... no sparks, I felt nothing

I ran and followed Robbie and hid behind a corner .A girl ran up to him and tried flirting. he looked away from his locker and saw me staring at him. I leaned back, with a wall blocking him from looking at me. I peered over the corner again but and he was right in front of me
I looked in his eyes, there was no happiness
I opened my mouth to talk but turned around and started to walk. he grabbed my wrist and turned me to face him. his grip hardened
"Robbie, that hurts" I say and look at my wrist, then back at him. a tear falls from his eyes and he lets go. I stand their, I wanted to hug him, him in pain makes me want to cry but I couldn't hug him or kiss him, not after what he did.
I stood there then turned away and ran off. I looked behind me and see Robbie looking at me with a sad expression. my heart breaks into a million more pieces.

It was Friday and I could not wait till the week end and I had just gone to first period and the the teacher explains that we will be doing a group project. me and Hayes where in a group and everyone else had a partner except Robbie. he sat there confused and alone. his hair was fixed but it still looked like he hadn't slept.
Mrs.Janet took notice in this and called him over and caught the classes attention
"Okay since Robbie doesn't have a partner who would like to let him on their group" she said
Everyone's hand went up except me.
"Okay you are in Hayes and skylars group" she says
You look over and see Hayes hand raised
"Why did you raise your hand" you whisper to him
"Because I thought I should be nice to him since, I said he looked like a wreck yesterday and you got mad, I thought you would like this" Hayes said
"I - I" you where interrupted by Robbie sitting down
"Hi there Robbie " Hayes says happily
"Hi" Robbie's voice cracks
"This is skylar, my girlfriend" Hayes says

No, I can't believe he just said that
I look at Robbie my face all red, Robbie gives me a hurt look and looks down
"Hi, R-Robbie" I say, i tried to conceal how broken I felt but it didn't work
I loved Robbie, I still kinda do. I never got over him, I mean how could I
"Hi sky..." he said
I looked at Hayes and his eyebrows went up. Robbie's head shot up
"Skylar" Robbie added
Hayes calmed down
I starred at Robbie and he starred at me
"Okay" Hayes interrupts
I look at Hayes quickly
"We can meet up at my house on Sunday and work on the project" Hayes proclaimed

I nodded
"Sure" Robbie agreed
The bell rings
I bolt out of the classroom
Leaving Hayes behind

I can't face Robbie with out crying afterwords. I head to the gym locker room.It was empty, I sit on the bench and tears slipped from my eyes . But only a few because then I couldn't feel sadness I just sad there with a blank face starring at the lockers in front of me

It was lunch time and I went to meet Hayes at our table
"Hey sky" Hayes says

I cringe, that's Robbie's nick name for me... only Robbie's

"Don't call me that" I giggle
But on the inside I'm dead serious

"Is it okay I invited Robbie to sit with us" Hayes asked
No it's not, I just spent the last thirty minutes paralyzed with sadness

"Sure" I lied

I plop down across from Hayes and started eating my sandwich
Robbie comes over and sits next to Hayes
I look down not wanting to face Robbie.

"Skylar...Skylar" Hayes tries to get my attention
I don't look up
"Sky...lar" Robbie says
I snap my head up
"What" I ask
A tear streaming down my cheek

"Where you crying" Hayes asked
I feel my check
"I guess I was" I say unknowingly
And shake my head
I get up
"I got to go" I say
And walk out
