Skylar's POV:

I woke up next to Carter this morning, wasn't exactly the best feeling having to share a bed with someone, but it's good enough. "Why are you up so early?!" Carter muffled against the crook of my neck, his voice implied that he's not fully awake,"We have school today, remember?" I breathed out softly, not willing to leave the current position. "How about we skip today?" Carter suggested, I nodded,"Good! Now stay where you should be Pillow," with that he drifted his heavy arms across my side and embrace me into a comfy position.

"Dude! Where the hell is that Skylar girl?! Mase and I can't find her...Oh." Mason's head shot at my direction as Cole stopped his sentence half way, "I see you got yourself company lil'bro. But bare in mind that sharing is caring!" Cole answered with a smirk. I turned to my side and faced Carter's stone-hard chest, I felt his muscle tensed up from Cole's outrangous speech,"Get out Cole! Nobody likes you!"Carter exclaimed."I'm sure little Skylar here would enjoy my presence her..." "Nope, I'd much prefer someone else's company" with the unfimiliar sense of cockiness I retorted,"And that would be...?"Mason asked, raising one of his brow, looking cocky as ever, "Carter's" I turned to stuff my face into Carter's chest, inhaling the pleasant scent of lemon and soap. Mason's face darkened for a flash, then in a bloodshot he was beside me, trying to pull me out of bed,"Get up sleepy heads, it's time for school!" I wasn't quite ready for another physical contact with this jerk face just yet, Carter slapped his arm away and pulled me closer to him,"No one touches my pillow except me!" "But Sky..." "GO AWAY! DON'T MAKE ME TELL YOU AGAIN MASE!" Mason had a shock look on his face, clearly didn't expect Carter to have a sudden outburst, slowly left the room with a sad look hanging from his face. 

"Thanks to those assholes, I have no urge in sleeping now. Wanna do something other than school work?" Carter suggested, wiggling his eyebrows. With a disgusted look on my face, I slipped out of bed and went to my room to grab clothes,"How about we just go to school? You know we are up relatively early today because of the twins." I said, walking out of Carter's bathroom, fully dressed with a book bag hanging on one side of my shoulder,"Goody-two-shoes say what?" He joked and I kindly slapped him in the arms, "Now now now, is that how you treat the person who saved you from that asshole's clamsp?" I faced down and felt guilt creeping up from the bottom of my heart, "That's what I thought."

We pulled up into the parking lot of the school, I can sense the uncomfortable effect it had on me, I want to fit in so so bad, considered I was never a people's person in the first place. Sensing my nervousness, Carter's warm hand moved away from the steering wheel,"They're gonna love you, you are all of that cutness wrapped up into a ball" "I'll take that as an compliament?" "It is" 

Carter walked me into the office to get my schedule,"We have all classes together?! Did  your mom planned this or anything?" Carter sighed in relief, "Can you show her her locker please Mr.Johnson?" the slutty secretary purred, flexing her half exposed breasts trying to snap Carter's attention, "After you, my lady!" stretching out his arm, I giggle and we walked out of the office. 

"Carter baby!" A wild blonde showed up from no where and clinged onto Carter, a pang of jealousy hit me like an effing truck. Luckily, Carter shoke her off in disgust,"Enough is enough Charlie!" He then turned to me,"This is Charmaine Aldrain, head cheerleader of Jefferson High." The blonde finally realized my exsistance and flashed me a stink eye, "And you are...?" "I'm Sk.." "Right! Nobody! So stay away from Carter! And I can promise you a very happy high school life!" Flashing me one of the fakest smile a girl can pull, I realized Carter turned around and was talking to his other friends. Being the timid me as usual, I made no sound. Once again, the nerdy girl let the head cheerleader walked over her again. I walked against the lockers, away from the crowd Carter unintentionally formed, being clumsy as always, I bumped into a stone hard wall. I looked up and realized that was a dark hair boy, with defined features, though not as gifed as the Johnson brothers, but still amuse me. "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I blurted, he flashed me a boyish grin that literally melted my heart,"It's alright! I really should consider trusting my fortune cookies as prophency says I'm going to bump into an angel today." I blushed furiously. "Are you new here?" I nodded in comfirmation, "Need help finding your locker, Angel?" "I'm not Angel, I'm Skylar." "That makes sanse, angels are supose to be from the sky." I blushed to his lame joke. "And if I were an angel, i presume you are the devil then?" He shot me a mysterious smirk,"Don't jump to conclusion my little angel, I'm no devil myself, though I'm willing to turn into one if it's all it takes to have you by my side." Confused and appreciated, he led me to my locker which was apparently very close to a certain Cole Johnson and the mysterious boy.

"I see my job here's done, I'll see you around?" He turned around facing me, half traping me into his nicely scented withhold, a blush crept on to my face, I was speechless. Suddenly, a strong force pulled the guy away from me, a shock expression splattered on my face as I see a dark looking Carter and a smirking mysterious boy. "Stay away from Skylar! Find yourself another whore to play around with, Nathan!" Carter loosen his grip on Nathan, and turned to me with a much softer expression," Are you okay Sky? You got me so worried! Why did you leave my side? I went all over the place looking for you!" Carter's warm hand brushed away a small strand of hair off my face, "I was just looking for my locker you know?" Carter nodded with a sad expression, holding out a hand and attampt to grab mine before I skipped away from him, sticking out my tongue," Not until you apologize" I ran as fast as my short legs can take me, but Carter caught up with me in a short while.

"So, making any friends yet?" Carter asked, taking the candy stick out of his mouth. "I tried, but a certain hulk keep scaring them away!" I protested, thinking about how people talk behind my back just beacuse I was walking with Carter. " You're basically saying that I'm your only friend," "No, I think that Nathan guy would be a nice company too?" I teased. The same dark look passed Carter's face, the playful mood was no longer light, it was dead serious business now,"Don''t go to him, he is trouble! Just stay away from him Sky!" i nodded in hesitation and Carter loosen his tight grip on my hand, breathing out slightly. "Why are you so mad at Nathan anyways?"
