Empty Spaces, Distant Faces

Empty spaces fill me up with holes. Distant faces with no place left to go. –Backstreet Boys

SKYLAR's POV

"Ok so why was that sexy fine ass piece of chocolate with legs here?" Nat asked as she licked her lips.

"He was bringing me my homework" I explained.

"Are you dating him?" Dreux asked bluntly.

"No. I barely know him. He's one of them." I sighed. "You know a popular"

"Your school is fucked up." Nat stated. "Why is he being nice?"

"I don't know." I laid back on my bed. "I don't trust it though"

"Neither do I" Nat added.

I looked at Dreux who sat on the floor in front of my bed rummaging through the stuff Trey brought me.

"He likes you" Dreux said matter of factly.

I sat up quickly, almost knocking Natalie off. "No he doesn't!"

"Yeah, he does" Dreux said.

"What makes you so sure smart ass?" Natalie asked.

"The gifts he bought her, the way he was mugging me when I kissed her on the cheek. Oh and playboy wrote his cell number and 'text me' on the message card on the fruit bouquet."

I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed. "Not possible" I hate his kind and his kind hates mine. They're all a big waste of time.

"Yeah, I feel like it's a trap or a stupid bet or something" Nat said as she fell back next to me on the bed. "I've seen too many movies like this"

We heard Dreux's phone go off and he answered. "hello...Sky's...right now?..yes mam...bye" he hung up and stood up.

"come one Natalie. Mom wants us to come home"

"aww man. She's always ruining a good time. We literally just got here." Natalie complained as she sat up and slowly got off my bed.

"I'll see you next weekend when I'm better so we can chill." I assured.

"cool" Dreux replied.

"bye kiddo. I love you." Natalie pulled me into a hug and squeezed.

"love you too." I mumbled since I couldn't really breath.

When she released me, Dreux gave me a hug and kissed me on the forehead. "yeah, we'll talk to you later."

"love you Dreux bear"

"yeah, you're cool too" that's his way of telling me he loves me. He never really liked being mushy. I just laughed.

They left and I got back in bed. I want to transfer schools. I should run away, but I won't.
