*Skye calls her Dad*

Skye : Dad! I can get the money for Toby's surgery. 

Dad: 
Skye listen- 

Skye: I just have to take more homework and charge-

Dad:....

Skye: Dad?

Dad:
Toby didn't make it. He died soon after you left for school-

* The line goes quiet as Skye tries to process the news she just received*

Dad:
Skye? Are you still there?

*Skye hangs up the call and breaks into tears. *

Miles: Hey is this seat taken?

*Skye wipes away her tears quickly and shakes her head*

Miles: That's sus. Are you okay?

*Skye nods*

Miles: Okay, can I sit here?

*Skye nods again*

Miles: Cool I'm-

*Before he could finish, Skye ran out of the lunchroom to cry her eyes out in in the bathroom*

Miles: Girls are so sus.*He said to himself*

*Miles's new friend Daniel joins him at the cafeteria table with a bunch of his other friends*

Daniel:
Thanks for saving us a seat.

*His friends all mutter a thankful yeah*

*Miles was too distracted thinking about the poor girl who just ran off crying . He wondered if it was her first day of school and she got bullied by a bunch of  mean girls or if she's just having a bad day*

Daniel: Dude are you even listening?

Miles:
Sorry. Just got something on my mind.

Girl: what ever it is, it must be really serious.

Miles:
*clears his throat his eyes darting in the direction that girl disappeared* It's nothing serious, just forget about it.

*His friends  shrug and continue their conversation on whatever they were talking about *

________Meanwhile Skye_____

*Stares in the mirror at her pale reflection. Her dog meant everything to her and now his gone. He was the only memory she had of her late mother.*

*Skye's classmate walks in and heard sobs and sniffing*

Regina: hello? Is everything okay in here?

*Skye quickly wipes her tears and turns on the tap-splashing water on her face*

Regina: Hi * Regina says once in sight with the source of the noise*

*Skye chooses to stay quiet and mind her own business*

Regina: are you okay? Skylar right?

*Skye turns off the tap and wipes her face. Keeping her gaze focused on the tale  bathroom floor*

Skye:
*hesitates before saying* I'm fine.

Regina: * nods.* Wants to say something but gets cut off*

Skye: -and it's Skye. * She adds turning to finally met Regina's gaze.

Regina: right-sorry. Get a little confused.

*Skye nods and brushes past her-exiting the girls bathroom*

She needed to be anywhere but here. Bumping into tristine and her friends or her brother was one thing she wanted to avoid at all costs. She snack out of school before lunch period ended and went home for the day. At this point being alone was all the comfort she needed.

When she reached home, she opened the door- and shut with a loud bang.

Dad:
Skye honey, is that you?

*She doesn't answer but instead look for where his voice is coming from. It lead her to the kitchen where her dad was washing the dishes. She dropped her bag to the floor and when he turned around, she ran and wrapped him in a very tight hug and he returned with a comforting one. Kisses the top of her head.*
