Make You Believe (Niall Horan Punk)

Chapter 23 - Problem

*Skye's P.O.V.*

Things have been... different between Niall and I for the past few weeks.

It's fine when Percy and Monique are around, but when we're alone it's completely awkward.

"So who do you guys plan on taking to the winter formal?" Monique asked us. "I'm bringing Vic"

"You're still dating Vic?" I asked.

"Who's Vic?" Niall asked, confused.

"Vic is a guy Monique met in California a few years ago when she was visiting her aunt. They have been dating for about two years" I told him.

"You-know-who always tried to get me to dump him for someone closer because people 'thought he wasn't real'" Monique added, referring to Alicia, saying 'thought he wasn't real' in a mocking tone.

"I remember that, I just never knew who you guys were talking about. I guess I wasn't listening" Niall replied.

"When do you listen?" I asked.

"Seriously, you have the attention span of a goldfish"

"Not true" Niall sulked. "To answer your question, I don't know who I'm taking to the winter formal. I haven't thought about it" he continued, changing the subject.

"I'm sure you won't have a problem finding a date. There are tons of girls looking for a bad boy to piss their parents off" Monique told him.

"Yeah, that's true" he shrugged.

"Chances are their parents will end up liking him after his date went through all that trouble to piss them off" I laughed.

"Why do you say that?" Niall asked.

"My mom likes you"

"Yeah, but that's because she doesn't judge me like everybody else" he replied.

"What about you Skye? Do you have a date?" Monique asked me.

"No"

"Why not?"

"Because you-know-who tells the entire school that I'm a slut and Ryder didn't rape me, I just wanted their money" I explained to her.

"That's fucked up"

"Yeah, so now everyone avoids me so they don't get locked up"

"Don't worry, we'll find you someone" Monique assured me.

"Doubt it" I muttered.

"What about you Percy?" She asked, ignoring me.

"You gonna go with the girl from the club who you thought might have given you herpes?" I snickered.

"No" he said to me before looking at Monique. "I think I'm gonna go to Seattle for Christmas, so I'll probably be at home packing" he explained.

"LAME!" She replied. We laughed in response.

"Look at what we have here" A familiar voice said. We turned around to see Alicia talking to Lyndsey.

"I believe we have a full on freak show here at the school" she continued. "The slut, the ghetto girl, the uptight control freak and the punk"

Lyndsey, being the follower she is, laughed in response at everything Alicia said. I wonder if she realizes that Alicia can't stand her. She only hangs out with her because she's desperate for a friend.

"Skye" Alicia gasped. "You look so pretty today, but your look is missing something, I just don't know what" she said before dumping my plate of spaghetti on my head. "There, perfect" she said, her and Lyndsey laughing their little asses off.

"How mature" I muttered sarcastically, getting up and slowly walking to the ladies room to get the spaghetti out of my hair.

I'M SOOOO SORRY!!!!

I haven't been able to update because my app, which is where I write, updated only halfway when I left wifi (as some of you may know, I don't have wifi at my house). I know it's no excuse, I would've updated on the 22nd if I could've. I would've written it in my notes, but with my luck it would've fucked up badly.
