Saving Sanity

Chapter 32

5 months later

I was in Lit Class, I've always liked reading and writing I realized. I just never had the chance to do it. I can remember that day clearly, it was a very memorable day for me after all. The teacher was at the front of the class giving his lecture about original ideas. I, who was normally paying my closest attention was flicking my pencil back and forth to create an irritating sound.

And that's when it happened. He walked in.

I've never really been interested in boys, or dating like a normal teenager. I'm not normal, I know that but it would be nice. But he was just so perfect standing there. The way his black bangs were sprawled across his icy blue eyes, he was very tall and pale. He was beautiful. I was lost in his eyes and his lips, those lips. Snap yourself out of it Skylar! You will never have a relationship! Not after Rylan and Evan. That was five months ago! But I knew it was true, I had taken quite a liking into them and they left me.

"Sorry I'm late. Im new. " He spoke, snapping me out of my trans. His voice, oh my, his voice, it was so deep, husky and smooth. I wanted him to say something else. "Well, you can sit by Skylar over there. Skylar raise your hand." I raised my hand ever so slightly as his eyes made contact with mine. I bit my lip and looked away. Mr. Tharnish continued with his lecture and I was suddenly self conscious. Don't even go there Skylar! You've been down this road. I thought to myself looking down at my scars. I shook my head but still stared down at my arms. I regret doing those things so fucking much! I tried to pay attention to Mr. Tharnish, of course I couldn't.

I stared back at my scars I can't believe I'm thinking about that time. Suddenly I heard a whisper. "It's okay, we've all been down the same road." I turned my head to see the guy leaning towards me. Has he been watching me? My face suddenly went hot. The bell rang and escaped the classroom as fast as I could. The day was over and I headed towards my locker.

He was following me.

I went down a hallway and I felt him tap on my shoulder. "Do you know where this locker is?" He handed me a piece of paper and I stared at it.

'A16'

Right next to mine. Thanks world, way to make things harder everyday. "It's next to mine." I told him. I saw his lips crinkle into a small smirk then it disappeared when I was shoved to the ground. I fell flat on my ass and I heard snickering and laughing around me. I blew my bangs out of my face and stared into space because I was afraid he was laughing too. "Emo freak! Learn to move sometime!" I heard the girl say to me. It was Natalie. She was an older, taller and more known version of Kylay. I got up and stalked down the hall, forgetting about the guy behind me. I got to my locker and shoved my books in there and grabbed my sweater. "Are you okay?" I turned around to see the guy staring at me with intense eyes. "I'm fine. Nothing I can't handle." I gave him a weak smile. It was true, I'm sure you know I can beat the living shit out of that scrawny bitch, but I'm starting over and creating a new self.

He chuckled at me. I don't know if it was chuckling with me or at me. I was really self conscious at the moment so the question swarmed in my head. I sighed and just made my way to my bus. He kept following me. I spun around. "Why are you following me?" My voice sounded far away. He smiled confidently, one that made me blush. I turned away and looked back when I recovered, God I'm pathetic. "I ride the bus too. Well, at least for today." He said. "Oh." Really? Oh. That's it? We both walked to the line of buses in the front of the school. "What bus?" I asked him. "Uhh.. 13." I shook my head and chuckled for the first time all day. He smiled at that. "What?" He asked. "We're on the same bus." I said. His smile grew a bit wider. "Alright then." He said and we walked to the bus.

This is usually where I sit down and pull my headphones out and blast music in my ears so I don't have to hear anyone on the bus. I went to the very back and sat alone. He sat across the aisle from me. "I didn't quite catch your name." I told him. "It's Adam." I grinned a little bit. "Well Adam, I am Skylar." I said and put my headphones on. I hummed to the music. I felt someone scoot towards me, I turned and saw Adam sitting there. I turned back around, I forgot he was there and I started singing the words a bit. "I am the chosen wretched and divine I am the unspoken, the one they left behind. Fearless, fight, until we die I am broken the wretched and divine." I sang softly. Adam snapped his head towards me, "Can I listen?" He asked. I nodded and handed him the earbud. He grinned. "This is one of my favorite bands." He said. I smiled. "Mine too."

We stared at each other as the music played, our faces seemed to get closer. Until I heard the bus doors swing open. I took my earbud back and got up. "This is my stop. Bye." I said. "Bye" he replied and I exited the bus.

I walked down the street until I reached my apartment building and opened the door. Once I was Inside my apartment I went into my room and collapsed on my bed.

After taking a nap I felt like watching TV. But I don't have TV.. So I stared out my window. I saw a ditch by a kid who was getting pushed around by a couple of older looking kids. I shrugged why not help a little bit. I smirked, I flicked my wrist and instead of the small kid falling in the ditch it was the older kids. I heard the tough one scream like a little girl and I laughed. He was covered in mud now, the little one laughed and ran away. I smiled.

I'm tired of the bullshit kids have to go through just because they are different. I get called Emo freak everyday, it just really pisses me off.

I couldn't stop thinking about Adam. His icy blue eyes, his black hair, his lips. Our faces were getting closer on the bus, it made me wonder. Was he going to kiss me? I've never been kissed before. I barely know him. I don't have a crush do I?

'Aww little Skylar has a crush on Adam!' I heard a voice tease. "Shut up Andy." I growled with my face reddening a bit. Andy was no longer bound to follow Filia Mortis everywhere anymore. That how she found out I knew about her secrets. Andy was no longer a lost soul on Earth anymore, but a spirit simply protecting their great niece. "Is he cute?" Andy wiggled his eyebrows at me. I choked laughing and point at him. "No! Shut up!" I said through my laughing fit. He laughed and kept his mouth shut.
