Deception

Chapter Ten

                      Sky's P.O.V.👅

I grab a white Adidas hoodie and a pair of black and white Nike Drift shorts and throw my hair into a pony tail. I put on my black and white Nike balance shoes and do light make up.

I dont feel too great so of course I look lazy today. I grab my books, phone, and keys as I walk out the door. I hop into my sliver Chrysler and drive torwards school after stopping by Starbucks.

I waltz into school carrying the coffee's. I see Luke and Claire and smile. "Hey guy's, coffee?" I say holding out their coffee's.

"You're a life saver!" Claire shrieks and hugs me. Like simply hugs me and smiles, "So how are you and lover boy?" Luke asks with a smirk.
"Actually we're dating now.." I say nervously.

"O-M-G!!" Claire shrieks once again and Luke slaps his hand over her mouth. "People are going to stare dummie!" Luke says. I laugh at the two. "I knew it was going to happen" Luke says with a smirk.

I playfully punch his shoulder. "Yeah yeah I know." I say while laughing.
I look over my shoulder and see Aiden.

"Hey guys I have to get to class but I'll see you later" I say. Luke and Claire smile and nod. "Okay and we need to go for smoothies after school!" Claire says.

"Hell yes!" Luke says excitedly.
I laugh, "Okay guys I'll meet you there." I turn around and walk behind Aiden and wrap my arms around him. Aiden chuckles and I smile.

"Ashley I've already told you I have a girlfriend and she's two times the woman you will every be so get lost." He says nonchalantly.

I laugh at his witty comment, "That's sweet but its just me." I say.
Aiden turns around and smiles, "Hey cupcake." He swiftly and softly kisses me.

We walk hand in hand to English and take a seat. Ms.Taylor begins to talk.
"Okay class today you will be giving a oral presentation about the poem you have written about a past fallen love, it could be a ex boyfriend, a ex girlfriend, anything that you once loved but you learned a mistake from."

Everyone shuffles they're papers together as each student gets up and presents they're poem.
"Skyler you're up" Ms.Taylor says motioning to me. I nod and smile.

I walk up to the podium in front of the class and begin.
"The saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost. He was almost in love. She was almost good for him. He almost stopped her. She almost waited. He almost lived. They almost made it. That isn't love, the almost in life is not significant for love. Instead tell me the story about how the sun loved the moon so much he died every night to let her breath. Because in the end everyone gets a lesson on love, that's why the sun let the moon breath, because he loves her that much. Honestly the guy I wrote this about was a terrible person with a perfect mask. After all he was my worst mistake, but my best lesson."

The classroom boomed with applause. And then a man spoke up from the class door. "Did you write that?" He said in Awh. "Uhm yes I did.." I say nervously.

"That is amazing do you have more in there?" The mystery man says motioning torwards my poetry journal. I nod, "Yes there are more in here but their short.." I say quietly.

The man of mystery looks at Ms.Taylor. "Ma'am may we please her some more from her?" Ms.Taylor nods enthusiastically. "Oh yes yes of course."

I nod nervously and begin to read from my poetry journal.
"Don't take life too seriously, because no one gets out alive anyways."
I proceed to the next poem.

"I just want to be the girl you think about twenty years from now, while you're staring at you're morning coffee, wishing that you hadn't poured so much milk in because now it's too creamy to resemble my dark brown eyes."
I proceed to the next poem.

"I've learned that trust is like glass. Once broken, no matter how you put it back together, you can still see the cracks."
I proceed to the next poem.

"There's two types of people in the world; the hopeless romantics and the realists."

I finish and look up to see the class smiling at me in Awh. They all clap, "That was marvelous miss O'Leary!" The mystery guy says. I nod, "uhm thanks"

   
          Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring

The bell rings to signal the end of school. Everyone gets up to leave but the man stops me.
"Ma'am please stay here" The man says.

I look at Aiden, "You can go I'll text you when I get home." Aiden nods and walks over to me. He snakes his arms around me in a warm embrace.
He kisses me short and sweetly. "Okay princess."

Aiden walks out into the hall and I turn to look at the mystery man.
"Uhm sorry sir but if this isn't important then I need to go." I say.
He chuckles, "Attitude? I like that."

"I'll cut to the chase, I run a journalism field at Notre Dame. We would be honored if you would consider applying to Notre Dame for college since this is you're senior year." I stared at the man in complete shock.

I finally get my grip on reality and realize what is happening.
"I would love to, but I don't have that kind of money.." I say sadly.

He smiles, "I don't think you understand Miss O'Leary, I am offering you a full scholarship. You're work is honestly impeccable."

I smile and fight down the urge to scream, "I will definitely apply then sir." I lean forward and shake his hand."
"I hope to hear from you soon Miss O'Leary."

"Oh you definitely will!" I practically shout as I run out of the room so I can get home as soon as possible.
