Chapter six

"Back-to-school!!"

I never thought that I'll hear those words from Taylor,who is currently standing as my sister/mother.

See, a week after Lucas introduced Taylor to me,Taylor came by more often with or without Lucas. And I probably mentioned that I'm not attending school for almost three weeks. Because of that she keeps telling me to go to school.

I don't really need to go but I thought of Kimberly and Liam. They need to go to school and they can't go alone. So when Taylor told me back to school this morning, I agreed without another objection.

Although because of my choice, I have to do some errands,It's alright. I have Taylor with me.

So that brings us to the present situation...

"Absolutely not! You'll get distracted!"

"I won't! I'll just say a few things!"

"A few things like skating perhaps!"

"Taylor!" I whined.

"Janelle!" Taylor whined back.

This conversation, by Taylor and me, has almost undergone 10 minutes and is still going nowhere.

"I just want to let Coach Rose know!" I told her again

"She'll know when you're not going!" Taylor refuses are so hard to handle.

"She'll think I'm ditching her! That I'm ditching skating!"

"Oh for goodness sake, would the both of you shut up?!"

Taylor and I looked at the annoyed Lucas. Taylor remembered who she is and straightened herself and I got ready to go to the rink.

"Don't you dare walk out the door Janelle." Taylor threatened. I rolled my eyes.

"But Taylor-"

"Okay, here's what we gonna do," Lucas got up and shot Taylor and me his worse-than-death glare. "You both wouldn't shut up? Fine by me. I'm here thinking of a good strategy to play against the Penguins and the two of you are still thinking of what would happen?

"Taylor, if you really want Janelle to stay out of skating then go with her! And Janelle, I thought you're close to Taylor? As soon as all of you are finished come back straightly home, got that?!"

I flinched at Lucas' words. Well, I brought it upon myself, didn't I? After that, Taylor and I marched to the basement, got in her Volvo and drove to the sports center.

~~~

The drive to the center had a very awkward mood. In the end, before we arrived at the center,Taylor and I exchanged apologies.

Coach was already there along with Jewel and Dew. When she saw me, I got scared. She looks like a dragon!

"Janelle!" Coach was fuming. "What am I hearing about you these days?"

I took a deep breath and started. "Coach, I'm sorry but-"

"What sorry? You know what I heard? You're skipping school for skating! Preposterous!"

"I'm sorry Coach, I'm stopping for the mean time but- wait what?"

"You heard me, Janelle Elizabeth Khione Avril!"

Ahem.

With coach angry I almost forgot that I'm here with Taylor. I feel ashamed.

"Oh, sorry." I muttered. "Coach?" I motioned her to the corner so we can talk appropriately.
