I stood up and ran to my locker. I put my books in my locker then grabbed my backpack and ran outside. I unlocked my car then hopped in and started it up. I drove home and once I got there I ran inside and up to my room.
* 2 hours later
I went through all my clothes and only saved the clothes I liked. I decided I was going to embrace my grungy skater type of style. I just dropped off the clothes I was getting rid of at good will. I began driving to the mall. I was so glad my adoption mom was freaking rich because I was going to be doing a lot of shopping. one I got to the mall I found a parking space and all that crap. As soon as I got into the mall I went to the tattoo and piercing place. I decided I was going to Peirce my nose with a small stud. Get three piercings through the cardalidge on my right ear. I was also getting infinity written in cursive on my right wrist with an infinity sign under it , and " Live a Little ..." tattooed above my collarbone. And then I was getting a small semi colon on my left wrist. Once I showed the guy what i wanted he did it all. the tattoos didn't hurt very much since I'm used to pain. Once the guy was all finished I paid and headed to the salon. I showed the stylist a picture of what I wanted and she got to work. I was getting large pieces of brown died in my hair and the roots looked a little ombred. she also trimmed the dead ends of my hair a bit. once she was done I hugged her then paid and gave her a twenty dollar tip.
Then I went to Hot Topic , Tilly's , Forever 21 , Urban outfitters , and H&M. I got snapbacks , flannels , beanie's , ripped up skinny jeans , hoodies , crop tops, band tees , tights ,leggings , high waisted shorts , new Jordan's , black beats , a military jacket , a leather jacket , converse , muscle tees, a letterman jacket , and some jewelry. I also got some more makeup and nail polish from sephora. I changed into a new outfit I got ( outfit above but no sunglasses and black Jordan's instead of converse). I walked to my car and put my bags in then began to drive to the movie theater.
Once I had arrived at the movie theater I walked up to one of those machines you can buy your tickets at instead of going to a booth. I got a ticket for the fast and the furious 7 then bought a bag of sour patch kids. I walked into the theater and went to the top row and pulled out my phone since the movie wasn't going to start for about 20 minutes. I got rid of all my original social media accounts and made new ones. I knew all these changes wouldn't stop people from bullying me , or make me start talking or stop the depression problems . But I just needed to do something with my life , I don't know. I took a selfie Mikey Cyrus style and posted it on my new Instagram account. While I was on twitter I heard someone clear their throat. I looked up to see a boy who looked about my age , now where had I seen him. Oh yeah , he's the new kid , Matthew. " Is it okay if I sit here" he said pointing at the seat next to me. I just nodded my head and looked back down at my phone. " Thanks , Skyler " he said . I went onto my notes and typed in " how do you know my name ? " then showed Matthew. " I have like three periods with you at school and your the only person at school who I haven't seen talk. Can you talk Skyler?" he said sweetly. I knew I shouldn't have kept this conversation going so I just looked back at my phone and went on Instagram to see I already had 70 followers and my selfie got 100 likes. " what's your Instagram ?" he asked. I typed in my instagram then showed him the user he just nodded and began typing. Suddenly the movie started and we shut down our phones.
* after the movie
holy crap that was one emotional movie . " hey Skyler can I have your number ?" Matthew asked. I don't what had gotten into me but I smiled and he handed me his phone. I gave him my phone and we put in our numbers. I suddenly got a notification saying I got a message . I opened it and saw it was from Matthew.
M- Matthew , S-Skyler.
M- Now we can just talk by texting
S- yep..
M- hey my friends saw you sitting next to me and asked if they could meet you . Is that cool?
S- As long as your friends aren't murderers then that's cool.Matt laughed and said " c'mon follow me " . I just nodded and threw my left over sour patch kids at him . But then he said " throw one more sour patch kid and I will carry you to my friends " he said looking at me. I smirked and threw two at his face. " that's it " he said picking me up and tickling me while walking. I giggled , something I haven't done in several years . I opened my notes and wrote "cut twice for giggling" then hid my phone before Matthew could see. I bit my lip trying to hold in my giggles. " Skyler we're here but if I put you down do promise to stop throwing soir patch kids at my face?" Matthew said. I nodded my head but crossed my fingers behind my back and suddenly I heard an eruption of laughter. I turned around to five guys who looked like they were my age . " Skyler these are my friends" he said gesturing towards the boys. I pulled out my phone and texted Matthew saying " Well..... They don't look like murderers , So I guess they're cool" . Matthew looked at the text and burst out laughing while the boys looked at him confused. " what's so funny Matt?" one of the boys asked . " oh nothing just Skyler's hilarious , she said you guys are cool" he said laughing harder. the boys looked even more confused " but Matt she didn't even talk" one of them said. " Oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys , Skyler doesn't talk so we communicate by texting " he said . I looked at my phone and frowned . " Okay Skyler if you don't mind me asking , how did Matt end up sitting with a girl as pretty as you? Oh and one more question don't you go to Valley Brooks too?" one of the boys asked. I opened another note and began to write. it said " I do go to Valley Brooks , and I honestly don't understand why you think I'm pretty or as to why Matt would want to sit next to me " I showed to him. He frowned and looked at me. I texted Matthew that I had to go. he looked at me and stuck out his lip. " Can the boys and I at least walk you to your car?" Matthew asked sweetly. I nodded my head and the boys followed. once we got my cars the boys jaws dropped. " Damn" I heard Matthew mutter under his breath. I unlocked my car and for some reason you could hear my tyga CD blasting his song Dancing 4 Dollas . " See you at school tomorrow Skyler " Matthew said sweetly . I waved to the boys and they replied with a chorus of goodbye's. I got home and put away all of my clothes and changed into some leggings and I left on my sweatshirt.
Tomorrow I can't be nice. God , why did Matthew have to come in and be all nice . why was I stupid enough to fall for it again. I mean I even giggled , what is Matthew doing. But it won't work anymore. I'll shut him out and ignore the boys. It's going to hurt like hell to have to do that to the boys. But like I said before its going to hurt but I'm the reason it has to happen .Why did I have to be so stupid . why didn't I just ignore him from the beginning. I even gave him my number . Well Damn .
