Shapeless

Ch 10 truth

Skyler backed up slightly. "What is the Shapeless?" she blinked. Jaimey laughed bitterly. "No one knows. It has no ID or anything!" Skyler gaped when Jaimey continued. "In fact, he has no face! Even I don't know what or who he is!" sShe stared into Skyler's soul,. "But you. You have seen him!" she accused. Skyler shook her head. "You must be mistaken! I haven't seen anyone like that!" The idea horrified her but Jaimey glared.
"Yes you have! You had a vision! That is where the headache came from! It all makes sense now!" she shouted. Skyler flinched. "You're crazy!" she gasped. Jaimey shook her head. "Leave! I will find you tomorrow!"
Skyler felt herself being pushed out the door. I will find you? If that wasn't creepy, she didn't know what was! Skyler shuddered. How would she find her? Was she just always watching?
A chill crept up her spine. What did Jaimey mean? Skyler hadn't seen the Shapeless! She would know if she had right? She shook her head. Jaimey was probably just a crazy person with issues. That wasn't real, she must be faking it...

But Skyler still felt uneasy. Was that why Peter had been scared of her? Suddenly she felt small, walking down the empty hallway. She didn't know what was going on but she didn't like it.

She glanced up at the clock, who's ticks were echoing loudly. Soon school would be over then Peter would tell her everything. She would finally know the truth of what happened and everything would be okay. Skyler didn't like being in the dark about what had occured and she was ready to be a part of it. Secrets would be spilled. Not hers though. She would take those to her grave.

Skyler jumped when someone shook her. It was Ella. "wWhat is it?" she murmured, blinking sleep from her eyes. Her friend grinned at her. "Class is over! I want to tell you about me and Tim!" she broke off staring at Skyler. "Wait, were you asleep?" she blinked in surprise. Skyler shrugged at her desk. Was I? She shook herself. Guess I really am tired! She looked at her bestie and shrugged. "Yah, I guess." Ella gave her an odd look before helping her to her feet.

"Okay, so you know how me and Timmy danced?"
Skyler just kept nodding as her friend went on and on about how amazing it was to dance with the Hispanic, Nnot really listening, though she could relate. She was still thinking about this morning.

Skyler couldn't get Jaimey's wild eyes out of her head, couldn't forget how frightened Peter had been about approaching her. Why had Jason been so worried about her? By beating up Kash she had proven that she could defend herself just fine! She sighed, wishing that her friends could have seen how brave she was. Suddenly Jaimey's words echoed in her head.
"He has no face! You have seen him! I can see it in your eyes!" she shivered at the memory. What had Jaimey been talking about? Apparently craziness ran in the Princeton family. It wasn't really a surprise.

Skyler tried not to yawn as Ella rambled on and on about how perfect Timmy was, not even stopping to take a breath. Skyler kinda just wanted to cut her ears off, but she endured. She heaved a sigh of relief, when they finally made it to the end of the hall. "Well, you better catch your ride!" she waved. Ella smiled, grabbing her wrist. "Come on! What's the rush?"
The rush is that I am trying to escape! Skyler snorted to herself. "¨Sorry Ella, but I have to do something..." Ella sighed. "Fine, but walk with me to my car." Skyler nodded, giving in. "aAlright,." she agreed, following reluctantly.

Despite Skyler's urging, They slowly made their way to a red truck in the parking lot. Skyler wanted to plug her ears as Ella talked about Timmy even more. That girl could talk 100one hundred miles an hour sometimes.

She smiled when they saw who was in the driver's seat. A tall blonde with brown eyes waved to them. He was wearing a red jersey of some sort, and had rolled up the sleeves.
"Anthony!" Ella broke away from her side to hug the driver.
Anthony smiled, hugging her through the window.
"Hey little sis!" He winked letting his gaze fall on each of the girls. "Skyler." He nodded at the dark haired girl who was waiting patiently. Or at least trying to.
Skyler waved back. "Sup." She grinned. Skyler had been best friends with Ella since first grade. Sometimes she longed for the good old days. When they both didn't have a care in the world. When Skyler could come over to Ella's house whenever she wanted, before her parents disappeared.
Skyler shook her head determined not to dwell on that.
