Never Forget

-Hidden Secrets-

-Skylar's P.O.V.-

The next few days went along awesomely since I had Toby by my side. I wasn't bullied much by Brooklyn since Toby was 'the cute new guy' who everyone liked, and I was his best friend. She actually tried to be nice to me.

But just to get to Toby *major eyerolling action* :/

They say everyone changes, usually for the better. Brooklyn just keeps getting worse and worse as a person. I tried being her friend once but she turned me down because, quote unquote- 'I wasn't cool enough'.

I fear for her life when she actually gets to the big, scary world...

'#Like ships in the night, keep...#'

"Ugh..." I groaned as I woke up on Saturday morning and yawned. I slowly reached my hand out to my beside table and felt around until I found my phone. I looked at who was calling, 'Toby'.

Smiling to myself, I pressed the bright green button on my phone and tried to answer without sounding like I was half-asleep.

"Helloo?" I mumbled sleepily. So much for that plan.

"Good morning to you too sleepyhead!" I heard him laugh through the phone.

"Toby, why are you calling this early in the morning? It's, um..... 1:52?!" I replied, shocked when I saw the time on the screen. I overslept, again.

"You never change!" I heard him laugh again before he carried on with what he had wanted to say, "Hey, do you want to go ice-skating today? I know last time didn't turn out so great but I could teach you, or, you know, something.."

"Ice-skating??" I repeated after him as the memory of him taking me ages ago resurfaced. "Well, I guess... but can I ask Rachel to come too?" I inquired since I wanted to introduce them to each other for a while now. They were the two most important people in my life so I wanted them to get to know each other. It's kinda weird that I never felt this way about my parents though, as if I was adopted or something. But whatever, right? People feel that way, right?....

There was a pause on the phone until Toby finally answered with a reassuring 'yes', so we decided when, said our goodbye's and I hung up the phone, calling Rachel right afterwards.

"Hey!" I heard her quiet voice over the phone.

"Hey! Wanna come ice-skating with me and Toby today?" I asked akwardly, since I always talked about him to her and she probably got fed up with hearing his name. :P

"Toby??" I heard Rachel asked with disgust, "Sure.."

I smiled as I thanked her, then said goodbye while she did the same and hung up.

I happily sighed then yawned once again and slowly got up to go to my bathroom so I could do my normal morning routine. After a few minutes I came back to my room and went to my wardrobe to pick out what I was going to wear.

It took me two seconds to figure out that I was gonna wear my favourite light blue sparkly long-sleeved top and a short black skirt along with some tan tights.

When I was ready I texted Toby and Rachel to tell them to meet me at our local outdoor ice-rink in 10 minutes.

*1o minutes later :D*

I sat on a bench near the ice-rink and waited for my best friends. After a couple of minutes I saw Rachel's figure appear from behind a car in the parking lot. "Hey bestie" I said as I hugged her and spotted Toby coming aswell. We hugged too and went to do some ice-skating. Well, it looked more like a duck with one leg put on ice-skates and tried to climb a tree... Okay. That sounded weird but I swear that's what it looked like :P.

-Toby's P.O.V.-

The day I was spending with Rachel and Skye was going great. I got to know Rachel and found out that she was actually a pretty cool girl. We were having a great time until I noticed something strange... something....scary.

"Hey, Skylar??" I asked suspiciously, looking at her like she was the weirdest thing on the earth.

"Yea?" She smiled at me as if she knew nothing of what I was seeing.

"Um....how do I tell you this? Your eyes...are....black. Like ALL black.... ya know..." I laughed nervously but she was really confused. She then turned on the camera on her phone, looked at herself and freaked out, "Aaaah!" She screamed as she dropped her phone, not caring if it cracked. Suddenly, her eyes turned back to normal and it was as if nothing had happened. I tried to ignore what happened but couldn't and noticed that Skye couldn't too. Even Rachel started to look suspiciously, weird. Curious? Lost? I can't explain it properly. It's hard..

-Rachel's P.O.V.-

I flinched when I heard my phone ring. "I need to take this" I gave a fake smile to Toby and Skylar and went to answer my phone. It was probably him.

"Hello?"

-

"Uh huh......yup....."

-

"Toby's back and Skye is starting to transform." I heard a gasp through the other end of the phone as I said this.

-

"Do I have to?"

-

"But-"

-

"Fine..."

-

"Okay, bye."

He hung up and I walked back to Toby and Skye who were getting ready to go home.

Sometimes I wanted to stop obeying him, but I knew I couldn't if I wanted my fair share of the deal.

I sighed as Skye snapped me out of my thoughts with a hug. "Bye!" She smiled warmly like she always did. "Bye..."

I went home in silence, wondering about all the things I have already done to my dear sister, regretting most of them but knowing I will get my side of the deal if I did, I continued to obey him...
