Pet School: The Biggest and The Boldest

Chapter 4: Awkward

Week 2 Monday
Bailey's POV
Someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned around, Gypsy. "Here you left this at my place last night." She handed me my water bottle, oops. That's where my water bottle went. "Thanks! I was wondering where it was." We both laughed together. "Hey, I'll be back, I'm going to check the board to see when swimming's on." "Alright sounds good, see you later." I walked down to our notice boards. Skye was there. I hadn't talked to Skye in a long time. I hadn't really thought about her much. "Hi Skye." I said. She didn't know I was there, I gave her a fright, I didn't mean to. "You scared me." She said, then kept looking at the board. "How's everything been?" I asked her. I may as well catch up with her. "It's been fine." I was expecting her to continue the conversation but she didn't really say anything else. "How are you and Gypsy?" She asked me. "We're going great! I actually left my water bottle at her house last night as well, she just gave it back to me." I chuckled a bit. "Well that sounds good." Skye wasn't smiling or looking at me. Why? Did I do something wrong? "You have everything Bailey. A captain role, good grades, a girlfriend, friends, popularity. You have it all." I have it all? What does she mean by that? She has good grades and friends as well. She's probably even smarter than me. "What do you mean by that?" "I mean what I said. You have it all." She then started to walk off. "See you later then." I said. She turned around. "Yeah, see you later." Then walked off. That was weird. What did she mean by i have it all? I don't. Is she jealous? Is she mad? Is she sad? Is this the new Skye or was that not even Skye? It looked like her so why wouldn't it be her? Why'd she ask about Gypsy? Then Arthur came down. "Hey Bailey!" At least someone can lighten up the mood. "Hey Arthur." I said. "What's the matter? You seem... down?" I guess I can maybe tell him. "It's Skye. She's acting weird to me. I haven't talked to her in ages, just then actually. She didn't smile at all or look at me, she said I have it all as well and asked about Gypsy. She seemed... not herself." "You made things awkward for her probably." Arthur said. How did I make things awkward? She made it awkward. "Remember in term 1 when you started dating
Gypsy and asked her to be your Valentine?" Of course I remember! "Well there were two other girls who like you. Blueberry and Skye. You talk to Skye often. You helped her, everyone thought you liked her and I guess she thought you liked her as well. Then you chose Gypsy, which was probably a blindside to her." A blindside? I didn't even know Skye liked me! I only thought of her as a friend. "You and Gypsy didn't have a bond as strong as you and Skye's and I guess that hurt her. After you and after that, you never took the time to talk to her until now over a coincidence." Is Arthur right? "Yeah but she said I also have it all? What does that mean?!" "Well you do. A captain role, good grades, a girlfriend, friends, popularity. You do have it all." Exactly what Skye said. Is this how everyone views me? The guy who has it all? Is that all they see me for? "Anyway, maybe just stay away from Skye? Maybe she doesn't want to talk to you. Don't say sorry either, just leave it. Let her talk to you maybe." Then Arthur got distracted by Akira having to tell him something so I left without even checking the board.

Bailey.
The guy who has it all.

Gypsy's POV
I'm not sure if Bailey's coming back or not but that's fine. But I got to rush to class recess is almost over. I say bye to my friends run to class. I then bump into someone. "Ouch!" "Oh sorry!" I quickly apologize. It's Skye. I give her back her glasses and help her up. She picks up my book for me. She gives one look and before I can say anything she walks right off. What was that? Skye used to be the nicest cat ever? Why is she so dull now? Who took Skye away?
