Brads POV:
It was now 1:58 pm and I am sitting in front of skylar's house. She had told me to come sometime after 2 today. I came a little early because I was anxious about being in her house. I know nothing will happen but just the matter of fact that we would be in the same room together alone does some things to me. As I'm sitting my car across the street from her house a car pulls up into the drive way and two older people get out. I'm guessing that those most be her parents. I see Skylar walking out of her house to greet her parents. But the look on her face said other wise. She looked upset, angry even. I can hear her yelling at her parents about what I do not know. She walks angrily back into the house and her parents follow suit. I don't know if this would be the proper time to get out of my car and walk up to their house. I glance at my watch it is now 2:05. I'm five minutes late.
I walk up to her front door and ring the door bell.
No answer. I ring it again. No answer. Maybe it was a bad time to show up, but she did tell me to come sometime after two and it was five minutes past two. As I turn getting ready to leave someone opens the door but it's not Skylar.
"Who are you"? Her mom says angrily
"I'm Brad". I say in a hushed tone
"What do you want" She said even angrier
"Well Skylar and I are working on a project together and she tole me to come sometime after tow so here I am". I say catching my breath
She looks at me, but says nothing, but just slams the door in my face.. Okay?
I'm left standing there wondering what I did wrong, I don't know whether to wait or to leave. I hear some noises coming from the other side of the door and then it opens. There she is.
"Hi brad" she said in a sniffle ..
Has she been crying?
"Hey, I can come back if you want if this isn't a good time.." I said
" No it's okay come in" She said opening the door wider for me to enter
Her house isn't what you would think it looks like from the outside. It had lots of big windows and plants. Lots of plants.
"Ummm, you could go upstairs and wait for me there in my room it's the first door to the left. I'll be there in a second". She said and walked away quickly.
I think she might know that I knew that she was crying. As I walked up the stairs there were lots of pictures with Skylar and this other girl but I don't think I've seen her before. By now I've reached Skylars room and was standing in front of her door. Debating whether or not to enter. She gave me permission to enter but once I entered this room there is no going back. I put my hand on the door knob and opened the door.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the door was the smell of her room. It smelled of Red Honeysuckle Nectar. How did I know this? My mother uses the exact same fragrance at home. Suddenly I've grown very fond of the smell. I looked around and her room was black. She had black walls with white curtains. She had this great bead in the middle of her room with with a white comforter with black roses on it. Her carpet was also black.. She had this fuzzy looking chair thing by her bed. She had lots of picture of her and this girl who I've seen quote a few picture of around her house but don't quite know who she is yet. I picked up the picture and got a closer look and the girl resembles Skylar. She had the same heir color, eyes and freckles on her face. But they had different face shapes. She looked a bit older that Skylar, maybe 2-3 years older. Maybe. I heard the door open, I put the picture back in the exact spot and looked back and she was staring at me.
"What are you doing?!" She whisper yelled
"Nothing, I was just looking at the pictures that's all". I said
She furrowed her eyebrows at me like I said something to upset her, she just walked past me and sat on the bed. "Whats wrong!!" I wanted to yell at her but I know it's not my place to ask her that. We barley know each other.
"So lets get started on this project, shall we?" she said
"Skylar?" I asked in a shaky voice
"Yes"?
"Are you okay"? I asked her .. Why did I just do that
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be" She said in a sarcastic tone
"Well, when you opened the door you looked like you've been crying and I just wanted to make sure that everyth--" I did't get to finish my sentence she cut me off
"Brad, I'm fine!" She said forcing a smile. Why would she lie.. She can tell me. But yet again we barley knew each other
"Skylar are you su--" She cut me off again
"Brad I'm fine stop fucking asking me that stupid question! I'm fine!" She yelled
I didn't know what to say I just looked at her. But I think not saying anything made her more angry
"You know what Brad can we do this another time? Today isn't a good day" She said walking towards me.
"Sure". That's all I could say and I walked out of her room down the stairs. I opened the door and walked out I turned around to say bye to her.
"Bye Skylar"
"Bye Brad" She said a little too quickly shutting the door hard in my face. On the drive home all I could do was think about what I had did wrong for her to treat me so badly. I mentally kick myself for budging into her personal life. Maybe I would still be at her house. But i will get to the bottom of why she acted so harshly towards me.
