Oblivious!

Detention or something!

Skylars POV

Li and I quickly run to the secret room. We decided against telling anybody about it. We head in and it looks like the same as last time. This time, we collapse on different couches in the fairy room. 

"So Li, what's up with you and Sam?"

"I don't know, but I think that I like him!" She covers her face with her hands. "What's up with you and Ryan?" This time it was my turn to blush.

"I think I like him, but I don't want to ruin what we have right now!"

"Come on S! It's so completely obvious that you two are meant to be together! The only people who don't see it are the people who are meant to be together!"

"Like you and Sam?" I ask innocently. She blushes. I take out my phone and look at the time, 4:15. Detention is at four-thirty. "I got to go to detention! See you." 

"Bye!" I walk out of the room and start walking towards Professor Madden's room. I  look down at the floor as I walk. I bump into somebody and start to say sorry as I look up.

"Oh, it's you!" I say as I look at Matthew and his three big friends. I mean their huge. I try to go around them, but Matthew grabs my hand. I turn and glare at him, while trying to get my hand free. 

"Don't tell me what I can and cannot do to my cousin!" His grasps becomes tighter as he tries to get a reaction from me. I just smirk at him. "This is not our last conversation!" He lets go of my arm, but I stay put. 

"No, I don't think it is." With that, I turn around and continue on my way to Professor Madden's room. I turn the last corner and head in. 

"Sit!" Professor Madden orders. She's the only teacher that I listen to without a second thought. 

"What will I be doing?" 

"You will write fifty lines of I will not pull pranks on the teachers." Like that's going to stop me. "Then we will have a talk for the rest of the hour." Hopefully this takes the full hour. I pull out my favorite pen and start writing the lines. I finish soon and look at the clock, I still have half of an hour. Urgggg! I start at the top and look over them again. This doesn't take even two minutes. "Good, you're done." Professor Madden walks into the room. 

"What are we going to talk about?" She starts to answer. "Is it going to be about random stuff? Like what your favorite color is? And other silly little things like that!" I may have gone over board with the excitement. 

"No, we will be talking about your foster homes."

"Yay!" Sarcasm drips from my voice. 

"We have to go over this!" She says firmly. 

"No, I don't have to be here." I stand up from the chair I was in.

"We can do this alone or with Ryan and the Headmaster. Your choice." Reluctantly I sit down. I don't want Ryan to hear all about my past. Well more than he already has. "Will you stand up in court against them?"

"No."

"Why? Did you think that this could happen to more people, if you don't stand up against them?"

"Don't you think I know? I've blocked that part of my past, so basically my whole freakin' childhood out. I do not want to bring it back in! I said that I'll think about it and I will!" I force myself not to cry. Tears haven't even formed in my eyes, but I still don't want to take chances. "I just can't!" With that I grab my bag off of the floor and head out into the hallway. I tighten the straps around my shoulders and take off at a run. I keep running until I get to the picture with the door. I open it up and head inside. Li is no longer here. I drop my bag at my feet and head into the kitchen. I open up the freezer and grab chocolate therapy ice cream. I grab the spoon that appeared on the counter and head to the fairy room. There I collapse on the couch and think about everything but nothing. Does that make sense? Probably not but I make no sense. 

I don't know how long I lie there, but I just think about what has happened in the past two weeks. Lets see, I figured out that I had powers, I went to a house that had a family of ten, became best friends with Ryan and now have a crush on him. Let him and two other boys find out about my back (Li doesn't count) made a new enemy, have the teachers go court crazy on me and have detention. Also in case you forgot, I found a secret room that only me and Li know about. Feels more like two years than two weeks! 

The sky turns from blue to pink to dark blue to dark purple to black. Only the stars light up the sky. I always found the stars interesting. I mean they are all up there and seem close together, when in reality they are as far apart from each other as we are to them. But yet, they seem to be able to live like that. All alone with nobody. Off of the depressing subject, I hear the door open. I quickly close my eyes, not wanting anybody to disturb my peace. They gasp so I no it's not Lily. I open my eyes and sit up quickly. I hurry to the main room and see none other than one of the meanest, rudest kids in school. Other than Matthews. John Hacker had entered the room. His eyes finally land on me. 

"What are you doing in here?" We ask at the same time. 

"This is my spot!" I glare at him as I say it. 

"Well this is my new spot!" He retorts. I let out a tiny laugh. 

"You can't be serious! You can't just claim a spot from somebody who already has it!" 

"My name is John Hacker if you didn't know that already, we can share this spot?" He suggests. 

"Answer me one question?"

"Ok..."

"Why are you so mean to people?" His eyes widen. "LIGHT BULB!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs. "You hide because you are a coward!" He shakes his head. "Yes you are! You don't want people to see who you really are!" 

"Oh and are you really any different? You hide behind long sleeves and pants. Don't deny it! You make sure that nobody guesses who you are with that crazy outgoing personality!" I shake my head, just like he did. "Tell me your secret and I'll tell you mine."

"I'm sorry, but I don't trust you completely and I only share secrets to those I trust." He just smiles at me. 

"Good answer Brown, good answer." Last names, I see where this is going. 

"So Hacker  what was the reason you came in here for?" I stretch out his name. 

"Like you said Brown, I don't tell people my secrets when I don't trust them." I give him a small smile before I grab his wrist and pull him towards the kitchen. There, I jump up onto the counter and let my legs dangle. 

"Look around, there is plenty of food." He does and takes out a bag of plain chips. "SHIT!" I scream as I look at the time. Nine-thirty. Not good. 

"Bye Brown."

"Bye Hacker!" I yell at him as I head out of the door and towards my room. I sneak into the room and close the door quietly. Hoping that Ryan and the boys are asleep. The light flicks on. Crap. Ryan, Kyle and Sam sit up and glare at me. I smile back at them and grab my pjs out of my trunk. Ryan and Kyle grab my wrist and pull me towards my bed. They sit me down and I try to get out of their grip, even though I know that it's no use. 

"Where were you? Detention ended four hours ago! Don't even tell me that you were with Lily because she asked us where you were!" Sam pretty much yells at me. I look around and notice one less bed. 

"Is Matthew officially gone?" They all roll their eyes at me trying to change the subject. "No seriously that is a legit question!" 

"Yes, now answer Skylar!" Ryan only uses my full name when he is upset or mad. 

"None of your damn business!" I snap at them. I tug my arms free and head into the bathroom. I change into my pjs and do all of the stuff you do in the bathroom. When I head out, the three boys are sitting on my bed. "I was in the disappearing room." I say quietly. 

"What is that?" Sam asks.

"A room where only two other people that I know know about it." 

"Who are those people?" Ryan asks. 

"Not my secret to tell. Can you get off my bed now?" Sam and Kyle get off and I head to sit down. 

"This is my bed to so I'm not going to get off of it." I stick my tongue out of him and climb underneath the covers. I take out my book and read until my eyes hurt to keep the open. The book collapses on top of me as I go into a dreamless sleep.
