The blonde listened intently. Ella's jaw dropped when Skyler finished telling her about her previous vision in the forest.
Skyler held her breath, waiting for her blonde bestie's reaction.
"Wait... what did the house look like again?"
Skyler again described the tall mansion surrounded by trees. She left out the part about Ella yelling. She didn't want to offend anyone and besides. What if her visions had made a mistake and Ella never ended up getting upset at that one man after all?
Ella made a choked gasp sound. "That is Braxton's mansion! What do we do? Anthony will never listen to me!" she sounded panicked. Skyler felt bad for her friend. If there really was no way to stop the college student's death, why bother torturing Ella with the knowledge?
She sighed. It was a bit too late for that. She put her hand on Ella's shoulder trying to snap her out of it. "Well, you will have to make him listen! Don't take no for an answer!" she encouraged.
Ella blinked. "Can we go to class now?" Skyler shook her head,. "No." she waited for her reaction but Ella frowned. "Okay..."
Skyler rolled her eyes in exasperation. "I just told you not to take no for an answer!" she lectured.
Ella's blue eyes widened and then she responded sheepishly,. "Oh. Oops..."
Skyler smiled. "It's okay, let's get to dance."
She gave in, the two girls hustling down the hall.
They made it to the gym's entrance standing in the doorway.
Ella looked back at her friend before walking into the room.
Timmy was waiting for her. Skyler frowned. Why did Ella look so nervous to see the hispanic? She shrugged. For all she knew, they could have gotten in a fight. That wasn't her business.
Skyler looked around for her friend. She narrowed her eyes. Where was Peter? She needed to tell him about the vision.
A relieved sigh escaped her when she spotted Jason among the dancing pairs.
Jason looked sort of dejected, dancing on his own. His movements seemed more awkward and out of place without someone to copy them.
Skyler held her breath as Mrs. Colson passed the brunette. "Very good." the old lady complimented, eyes squinted. Skyler stifled a laugh that the dance instructor hadn't noticed her and Ella's absence.
Sneaking a nervous glance at the teacher, Skyler made her way to her friend's side.
Jason's eyes lit up when he saw her. "Skyler!" he grinned, walking towards her.
She returned the smile, taking a step towards him as well.
To avoid arousing suspicion, they set up the required position and began to dance. Swaying to the beat, she blinked in surprise as Jason threw her out in a spin. She twirled to come back into his grasp. Skyler smirked. "Not bad,." she winked. Jason flexed in the pose. "I know! I'm the best,." he winked back. "But you are better."
Skyler giggled and Jason lowered his voice. "So how did it go?" he prompted. "Did Ella believe you? What happened?"
Skyler spoke quietly to avoid attracting attention. "She thought I was pranking her at first..."
"What made her change her mind?" Jason tilted his head with interest. Skyler blushed at the adorable expression yet again. It just got her every time, she couldn't help it!
She lowered her gaze, still moving to the music. "Sometimes seeing is believing." she stared into his eyes, hoping he'd understand what she was trying to say. Jason stiffened, grip tightening.
Skyler nodded, pleased that he knew her so well. He could tell exactly what was going on even without her speaking a word. It was pretty impressive actually. Maybe they really were soulmates!
His interest showed. "What was it about?" he asked wearily.
Skyler shook her head. "Not here. Not now."
Jason nodded reluctantly. "Okay, does Peter know?"
Skyler smiled when she realized that he didn't sound hostile for once.
She shook her head. "No we need to find a way to meet up and discuss."
Jason's eyes lit up. "I have an idea."
Skyler gestured for him to tell.
He lowered his voice again. "Me, you, and Peter can come over to my house. My mom is not usually home and if she is, she won't bother us."
Skyler smiled, impressed. "That sounds like a plan." she agreed.
She glanced around. "Now we need to-"
Jason finished for her. "-find Peter? I agree, but where is he?"
Skyler blinked. She still wasn't used to him, saying Peter's name so casually. She frowned. She had to admit that this time she didn't have a clue where he was.
