Remmington's School for Troubled Teens

Skeleton

Scarlett's POV

I woke up that morning, screaming, in a pool of my own sweat, from a terrifying nightmare. I looked at the clock... 4:57 am.

So I took Faye's arm from around me and got up out of bed, looking for my pack of cigarettes. I searched in my drawer and on my bookshelf, but I couldn't find a full pack anywhere. They were all empty.

"Damn it!" I yelled. So I reached for Faye's pack and took it outside with me. Along with my iPod and speaker.

I sat down and scrolled down the list of songs, choosing which one to play, when I saw the song "Y hubo alguien" my mom's favorite Marc Anthony song. Just looking at the title made me want to cry...But I stopped and tore my eyes from the title, choosing a Jimi Hendrix song.

I lit my cigarette and stood up. Looking over the balcony. Faye said that I jumped. Well, everyone does because most of them saw it happen. But I wish that I didn't make it.

I wish that I would've missed and hit the concrete, cracking my skull or breaking my neck. I wish that I would've hit my head and drown. I wish that Luke didn't "save" me. But I couldn't help but think how easy it would be to just jump over right now. With no one awake. No one to save me. I bet I could jus-

"Are you okay?!" I whirled around only to find the devil himself. Pretty Boy decided to come out to play.

"What do you care?" I spat in a venomous tone, sitting back down to finish my cigarette.

"Believe it or not, I'm actually a decent human being who cares when others-" He was rambling and I didn't care what he had to say.

"I don't give a crap, Pretty Boy. Save it." I said in annoyance. He let it rest.

Then he sat down and pulled out a cigarette, placing it between his lips.

"Need a light?" I asked. He leaned forward and I pulled out my lighter, cupping my hand around his cigarette and the flame, lighting it carefully.

"Thanks." He spoke quietly. Then we sat in comfortable silence. Before he spoke again.

"Do you have any idea what we should do for Halloween costumes? Since we have to match." Luke asked, trying to start a conversation that I really didn't want to have.

I just shook my head no and listen to the song that was currently playing.

It was "Anarchy in the U.K." by the Sex Pistols.

"'Cause I want to be anarchy'" We both sung the song to ourselves. Then, at the same time, it clicked for the both of us.

"Sid and Nancy!" We both leapt from our seats in excitement and then laughed, sitting back down.

"Sid and Nancy it is." Luke spoke and I happily agreed. This Halloween wouldn't be too bad after all.

Today was the day I would get to meet Matt Healy. And unfortunately it would be with Luke. And no that was not my decision.

I had to draw names out of a hat and with the fantastic luck I have, Luke was the lucky winner.

We were currently in his fancy and very expensive brand new Audi R8. Mommy and daddy must be pulling in the money for his family. If this was his car I would love to see the luxury he gets to live in at his house, wherever it may be.

"Are you sure we are going the right way?" I asked with anxiousness in my voice. We were traveling down this dirt road with a bunch of creepy old houses and I could haves sworn that I saw a dead body lying in the grass next to an old RV.
