Double Infinity

Chapter 3: Almost

Sky's POV

I am starving. 4 hours of lessons will do that to you. Well, that and not having breakfast. But in my defence I didn't have enough time. I walked down the corridor and turned left. I just had Design and I was the only one who took it, meaning that I was on my own, but that was the only lesson where that was the case and it was just 2 hours a week so it's alright plus I could actually listen without being poked or tapped by one of my friends. I walk outside and the warm air hits me. Summer was technically over but we still had blue, clear skies which is my favourite kind of day. I spot the rest of me friends and walk over to them. We exchange 'hellos', or in mine and Luke's case, a short kiss. "So where do you wanna go Skylar?" He asks. I wince at the use of my full name. He notices this and says "I know you don't like it but I think it's cute" he was smiling now. "Hmmm no. Not really." I say back shaking my head. "You have to admit, it is a weird name. Skylar." Ezra chimes in and look at a distance as if pondering what he just said. Idiot. "Yeah, but her full name's even much worse. Skylar Dayna Miller." Adds Jay. Idiot. They're are both idiots. Everyone starts laughing and even the guy I call my boyfriend laughs too. "Ok, ok. Can we not make fun of my names please??" But they just kept on laughing. Seriously? "I mean it, stop you guys." Still no change so I decided to leave them and walk away. Soon enough they realise that I'm no longer there and all chase after me. "Go away" I say. "We're sorry." Bianca says putting her arm around my neck. "Yeah we promise not to do it again" Nina says. They all nod in agreement, all except from Jay and Ezra. "We're not making any promises" they both said putting their hands up in defence. I roll my eyes and say "Fine" it was pointless trying to convince them, plus I was still starving. "Food now please" I say. "Yes please" Jay says. Finally, something we agree on. "So where to then?" asks Luke again. "McDonalds" we all say in unison.

It had become a tradition now. One of the perks of being a senior is that we're allowed off site to go and eat so we took advantage of that and went to McDonalds every lunchtime. I know it sounds like a lot and you're probably thinking how are we not bored of it by now. But I don't know. Really I don't. We all just love it so much and you can't deprive the body from what it wants. "McDonalds it is then" Luke says. We decide to walk as its only 10 minutes and 42 seconds away. Yes I once timed myself. This way I can plan my time more effectively.

I am pulled out of my thoughts when Luke asks me a question. "Sorry what? I missed that" I say. "Yeah, you've been doing that a lot today." He replied probably referring to earlier on when I completely blanked him. "I said we are here" he repeated. What? We can't be here already, but sure enough when I looked up I saw that big yellow 'M' that made my stomach growl even louder, as if that were possible. And the smell. The smell was just so inviting, it made me happy just thinking about it.

We go inside and take our seat. I say 'our' seat because it's where we seat everyday and the workers here are used to seeing us now that I think if we ever stopped coming they'd think we were dead or something. The team manager comes over to our table. "Hey guys" he says in his loud voice. "Hey Jeff" we all reply. "Same as usual?" Jeff asks. We all nod. Yes I know that in McDonalds you're supposed to go up and order yourself but we've been coming here for the past 3 years now and have become great friends with the staff so they know exactly what we want before we even say so. Jeff goes away to prepare our meal.

"So how was Design?" Luke asks. "Yeah how's your piece coming along?" Nina adds. For Design we are currently making clocks. Sounds basic but there is actually so much work involved. Who knew? "Yeah it's really great. I should be done by half term" I beamed. "Great. So when do we get to see it?" Luke asks. "Never. Well not until I'm done with it. It's a surprise." I smile knowing that they are all dying to see what it looks like. "Alright fine. We don't even care anyway." B says in a pretend dismissive tone. "Oh right. Yeah. Of course you don't" I say back. "Nope." She holds her head high, nose reaching for the sky and arms crossed. This makes my laugh because she looks like a 5 year old right now. "Stop laughing" she whines. "Doesn't feel so good, does it?" I say bringing my face really close to hers. "Go away" she continues, pushing me away with her with her hand. I gasp and throw the first thing my hand touches at her. It just so happens to be Luke's phone but luckily it doesn't seem damaged. Not physically anyway. It was now Bianca's turn to gasp but before she could do anything about it our food, or should I say feast, arrives. A devilish smile creeps on to my face as I watch her rub the sore area on her head. Regardless of this, we all quickly dig in, our hunger suddenly spilling to the surface.
