A press of the play button.

I-

A stop. A hesitation.
Hannah was nervous.

I started noticing you a lot more. Over the next couple of days I began picking out different things and trying to figure out what they meant.
My main one being the tugging on the sleeves because trust me Skye even though I knew what it was I really didn't want to believe it.
So I thought of other possibilities and funnily enough none of them seemed possible.

Then one day, you were walking down the hallway, blue headphones perched on your head as you closed your eyes and lost your self in song.
Until you were tripped over.
And we both know who did that little deed.

"Justin foley.
But he didn't mean to. Right?"

However I won't mention him as if I do carry these on then I'm pretty sure it's a bit unfair to mention him anymore times than I have already.

So Skye. Why didn't you say anything?
Another mystery.
Skye, why didn't you give them the good old middle finger or tell them to go eat some weird poisoned apple.
Not that your a witch it's just some of them, not the one who tripped you but the others, probably deserved it.

And that's what got me so annoyed because instead of fighting back you picked up your headphones and walked away.
I noticed you pull your hands into fists and i waited in anticipation from my locker on the other side of the hallway and yet .. nothing.

Skye frowned a little bit in sadness.
Was that why Skye was given this tape? Because she didn't stand up for herself?
No. That couldn't be it.

Now Skye don't worry your not on here for that because that would be just plain silly.
Not to mention mean.
But if you've heard the rumours you'd probably think I am so I guess it wouldn't change anything.

She'd heard the rumours.
Being invisible had its perks.
At least, Skye thought they were perks at the time.

Speaking of rumours id heard a lot about you, just like I'm sure you've heard a lot about me.
However ours were completely different.
With you , rumours were rare and only brought up if a specific person, who I will not mention now, had seen you in the hallways.

You were a mystery that one person wanted to find out very, very much.
It didn't help that he was a big creep either.
Oops sorry! Did I give it away?
Probably not. You'd guess the wrong person.

"Who would I of guessed Hannah?"

I bet they're guessing the wrong person too.

And why?

Now don't worry we'll hear about him soon enough but right now we're still at that beginning of your little twisted tale.

The next page has something to do with those bright blue headphones you always carried around.
That reminds me of my favourite mystery.
'What music were you listening to?'
However I did know that it was a different song everyday by the timing of your tapping or small nodding of the head.
I was always wondering what you would listen to next.

Silence. But only for a few moments.

Skye.

Another small silence.

Will this be what your listening to next?
