He Loves me... I Love Him Not

The Mall- Take 2

I groaned and answered my ringing phone. It was only ten in the morning and someone was calling me. I didn't know what they wanted, but if I had to get up, I'll be damned.

"WHAT?" I snap. I am not a morning person. If I was, this world would come to an end.

"It's Cam.. Get dressed. I'll be there in an hour." And with that she hung up. I got up, and went to my bathrom. My waves looked decent enough.. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. After that I did my make up quickly, and went back to my room. Lucky snored quietly on his bed. I fed him and got him some fresh water and patted his head. Next, I got dressed. I put on a blue ruffled tank top, black skinny jeans, and blue strappy heals. I grabbed my blue bag, and my iPhone5 and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning Skylar." I hear Dad say. I smiled at him.

"Morning Daddy," I reply.

"Morning Daddy," I hear Chase mimic. I turned to him, a scowl on my face.

"Look, you twit, I'm gonna stay outta your hair if you stay outta mine. Got it?" I snap at him.

"Skylar Alexandria Marie Carber! There is no need for that type of language!" I hear my mother say from the kitcchen.

"Sorry Mom," I apologize. I grab a cinnamon crunch bagel, and start to toast it. I get some cream cheese from the fridge and soften it a little in the microwave. My bagel finishes, and I take it from the toaster. I spread the cream cheese on it, and put the two halves together. "Bye Mom I'm going to the mall with Cameron." I say lazily.

"Here Skylar!" I hear my dad call. I walk behind him and take the wad of cash, and kiss him on the cheek. I count it quickly. 150 in cash and I have 300 on my card. This'll make do.

"Thanks Daddy," I say and head outside. Cam pulls up, and I quickly get in the car. I eat my bagel silently from the backseat and listen to Cam and Amy chatter.

"No, I totally swear that I did!" Cam says.

"Did not! It's okay. I haven't either..." Amy argues back.

"Taylor Lautner totally came to my house and I got him to take his shirt off and kiss me!"

"Cam stop it!" Amy says out of jealousy.

"Sky... Sky... Sky... SKYLAR!" Cam yells.

"What?" I say, my mouth full, a bit of cream cheese on the corner of my mouth.

"Oh my god.. You are so not eating in my car.." She groans. I shove the last bite in my mouth and shake my head quickly. "Whatever.. Isn't it true last year that Taylor Lautner came over to my house and took his shirt off and kissed me?"

"No Cam.. That was a hallucination from the drugs you were on." I curtly reply.

"Oh that's right! Still.. I saw it happen!"

"Whatever.." Me and Amy reply. Cam finally pulls into the malls parking lot, and I climb out.

"I just wanna run in to the food court and grab some lunch and coffe, you guys." Cam says. Amy giggles. Uh oh.. This can't be good.

We walk into the food court, and we order a large cheese pizza. Amy goes and orders our coffee and I start heading for an empty table.

"Skylar! Over here!" Cam calls to me. I turn around and head over to her. I sit down, and she walks away. "I'm going to go get napkins. Stay," she calls over her shoulder.

I sit there for a minute, just waiting.

"Hey.." I hear a deep voice say. I look up, and see Ryan smiling down at me. I frown and tap my foot aggrivatingly.

"What do you want?" I spat at him through my teeth.

"A chance." Ryan replies. He sits down. "I want to explain to you why I was bullying you all that time. I like you a lot Skylar.. I just thought you wouldn't like me back." He says simply.

"I don't believe you. And you thought right. I hate you. I never wanna see you again." I get up and leave. He follows me, and grabs my arm. I turn around, and try and pull away, but he's too strong.

"Let go of me!" I scream at him. A few people are glancing in our direction. I smile apologetically at them.

"Not until you believe me!" He says in my ear. "I just want a chance." I fight some more against him. Wow this kid is strong. "You've ignored my call, my texts, my facebook messages... For TWO MONTHS! I mean.. Why do you hate me?"

"Because you're a bully! You've made me feel horrible about myself all these years and two months ago you confess that you like me?! Good bye!" I shake him off, and smack his face. Hard. He looks confused, and emotionally hurt, and I turn and stalk away. Today just really isn't my day..

Ryan POV

I stood there, looking stupid, a whole buch of people giving me disapproving glares and glances. I mean.. I really like Skylar.. She's a good kid.. But now she's refusing me? Oh Hell No!

I groan and head after her. Where the hell did she go? I run into the parking lot, and she's gone. The last thing I see is Mr. Carber's car driving away, and taking Skylar with it.

I sigh, and walk back into the mall. What do I do now?
