Skylars POV:
I wake up early to the sound of my alarm for school. I wasn't exactly looking forward to going to school as it was my first day of 11th grade, but I was still pretty excited. I hit dismiss on it before stretching my limbs slightly in my bed. I get up, and I open the curtains to my bedroom and look outside. The sun was just barely peaking over the tall trees in my front yard near my window, lighting up my bedroom ever so slightly. There was a slight wetness to the grass and leaves on the trees from the morning dew, and I could tell it was going to be a bit chilly this morning...after all it was almost fall.
I wander away from my window and towards my closet to start getting dressed for school. I put on black jean shorts, a sage green sweater, and black Converse, and I put on my favorite necklace... the one that my best friend Micah gave me before he left. I wore it every day after he moved away. I then brushed out my hair and finished up my whole morning routine, and just as I was about to go downstairs for breakfast, I heard a notification on my phone...it's a text... from Micah!
As I see the text notification from Micah, I quickly grab my phone off of my nightstand to read it. Even though Micah left 3 years ago, we were still very close, and we talked to each other every day either through text or call. His message reads-
Micah🩷: "Hey Sky! You excited for your first day in 11th grade?"
I smile at his message, especially as I read that he used the nickname that he gave me Sky. I message back
Skylar: "I'm excited but also a little nervous...I really wish you could come with me"
I text back and start to head downstairs as I wait for his response. He then responds with
Micah🩷: "I know. I wish so too...BUT that reminds me I have a little surprise for you later."
As i read his message, my eyebrows raised slightly...surprise? What kind of surprise? I had no clue, but I couldn't wait to find out. I texted back
Skylar: "Interesting...well, I gotta get going. I don't wanna be late! I'll talk to you later!"
A few seconds later, he responds with
Micah🩷: "Alright, Sky, I'll talk to you later."
And with that, I slide my phone into the pack pocket of my jean shorts, and I sit down at the kitchen table with my younger brother as our mom cooks for us both in the kitchen. My brother was 15 years old, and his name was Liam he was about 5 feet and 7 inches tall, just a bit taller than me. He had short blonde hair and brown eyes and freckles. He looked a little bit like me and our mom, but he looked a lot more like our dad. today was his first day of high school. He was very nervous because he was a bit shy when it came to new people, and he was always worrying about fitting in, but I knew he'd do just fine.
After a little bit of waiting, our mom serves us our breakfast. Eggs, bacon, and some fruit on the side. I smile at her and say "thanks mom" in a soft voice, and she smiles back and nods and says, "No problem, honey," in a soft sounding voice as well, and my brother thanks her as well, and we start to eat.
As we ate, I kept spacing out... I was thinking about Micah... I missed him so damn much it was unreal. Even though I caught feelings for him like 3 years ago...they were still there. I kept zoning out until my brother looked at me with a smirk, and he said "hey Skylar? You thinking about your little boyfriend over there?" He asks in a teasing tone, which makes my face go bright red
"I...no! And he's not my boyfriend. We're just friends, Liam..." I say in a quiet and slightly embarrassed sounding voice as a slight chuckle leaves my brothers lips as he says,"yea yea, that's what they all say...plus you're blushing...you sure he isn't your boyfriend?" He asks yet again, still using a teasing voice as I blush. I sigh and say "uhm...yes I'm sure..." I respond quietly, and my brother just gives up and says,"Fine..." though he still had a slight teasing smirk on his face.
After his teasing, it went silent, and I quickly finished up my breakfast as I didn't want to be late and I got up and put my plate in the kitchen sink and gave my mom a hug as she said "good luck today honey!" In a soft voice, and I smile and say,"Thank you, mom, " my voice is just as soft as I then pull away from her and say goodbye to my brother before grabbing my car keys, backpack, and my phone and then heading outside to my car which was parked in the driveway.
I get in the car, and I put the keys in the ignition, and I start up the engine and pull out of the driveway and onto the road, and I start to drive to school.
The drive to school didn't take very long as I lived decently close, and I pulled into the parking lot and put my car in park before taking the keys out of the ignition and I grab my backpack and get out of the car and start to walk inside the school.
I walk up the front steps of the large high school, and I push open the double doors and start making my way to my locker, but when I get there, I see something I never would have expected...
