Chapter Seven

Skye's P.O.V.

I turned on the faucet so my dad wouldn't hear my phone call if he came home. I looked through my contacts and found the one that was listed "Dorothy >.< " because his favorite movie was The Wizard of Oz. I dialed it, then waited, one, two, three rings before it went to voicemail.

"Sorry Chase. My dad wants to have dinner tonight. I should be able to make it on time, but I might be a few minutes late," I said as quietly as I could without whispering. "Call me after you're done kay? I want all the details. Kay, love you, bye," I said still quietly and then hung up. I put my hair up and my study stuff away. Since my dad didn't get home till 9:00, and Chase didn't get done with his fight till 11:30, I used the whole day to study.

I made pizza from scratch, just like my dad liked, and I made three different kinds. Cheese, macaroni, and pepperoni. Once they were in the oven, so I waited for it to beep since I had nothing else to do. I walked around in circles a few times, then got bored, so I decided to watch T.V. I put on the new telenovela Jane The Virgin and watched that for a while.

When the timer went off, I stopped the show and went to take the pizzas out. Once I did, I put them on the cutting board and sliced them. The I put them on the table to cool. Then my dad walked in.

"Hey dad, dinner's ready," I called.

"Ooooooo, what did the fabulous chef make today?" he asked liking his lips.

"I made my famous pizza from scratch with extra toppings just how you like it," I explained setting the table smiling.

"Mmmm," he said sitting down. He reached for the pizza immediately, but I smacked his hand. He looked up at me confused with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Don't forget prayer daddy," I said kindly reminding him. He nodded in realization, the closed his eyes and said a quick prayer before digging straight into the macaroni pizza. That was his favorite kind. I grabbed two slices of pepperoni to start with, and he grabbed four pieces.

"So, dad, how was your day?" I asked.

"Good. I hired a new executive who seems to have everything under control. He came straight from college so he's young. He'll last a long time," he explained.

"That's nice. I made a new friend today. His name is Zack," I said.

"Just remember, no boyfriends till you're-" he was saying but i cut him off.

"Yeah, yeah, 21. I know dad," I said and looked away so he wouldn't see my guilty looking expression. I had had a boyfriend for three years now. I ate quickly and then stood to go up in my room.

"This was really nice dad, but I have to go study. Please don't interupt or I won't be able to focus. Wouldn't want me to fail would we?," I asked. He shook his head smiling and gave me a hug.

I dashed up the stairs and looked at the clock. Shoot, it was 10:59. I didn't know dinner took that long. I threw on my black t-shirt, dark jeans, and my black sweater. I swore I looked like a bank robber.

I threw the rope ladder that I kept on the balcony down from my window. I angled it so that my dad wouldn't see it. I climbed down as quietly as I could without drawing attention to myself. If anyone saw me out here so late, they would definitely call my dad. He would get an earful about it for always bragging about how great my grades were and how I was one of the only five percent that got into Harvard so early and how I was so well behaved. That was actually how Chase happened in the first place now that I think about it.

At first, he was just my little way of defying my dad, but then I really fell in love, so now, we see each other after his matches. We meet outside, but since the studio is in a bad neighborhood, he had to teach me how to fight incase of any bad situations.
