***Flash Forward**
I wrap my arms so tightly around him I'm almost sure its hurting him. I feel his hands soothingly rub my back. "Its going to be okay Sky.." He says assuringly. But I dont believe him. I just bury my face into his chest and cry. My head starts to hurt from crying so much but I ignore it. He sighs and continues to rub my back in a soothing manner.
"Sky, you know that I'll always be here for you...right?" I nod into his chest but continue to sob. "Then why are you still crying?" He asks. "No matter what happens...I'll always be here with you. No situation is too big for the both of us"
I squeeze him tighter and he gently lifts up my head. I look him directly into his warm dark brown eyes. "Hey there beautiful.." He jokes. My face is covered in tears and most likely snot. I roll my eyes. "I probably look like the most hideous thing on Earth right now." He laughs lightly. "You always look beautiul to me Sky." Hearing that makes me smile and I lay my head against his chest. I still want to cry but I hold it in. "Dont worry, you'll be out of this mess in no time." He says. "All you have to do is give me your heart and your hand and we can run"
****End of Flash Forward***
~Chapter One~
"Skylar Blue Rae!!!" I hear my dad yell from downstairs. "What the hell is taking so long?" I groan and lazily get out of bed. The sun is shining so bright you'd think it was summer already.
I walk over to my dresser and randomly pull out something to wear. A dark blue crop top that said RAD in hot pink dripping bubble letters and a pair of black skinny jeans. I pull them on and look at myself in my room mirror. My dyed light blue hair covers my head in a tangled mess. Using my brush, I tame it the best I can. After the fifth try i give up and pull it back into a messy bun.
I rush into my bathroom where I quickly brush my teeth and splash cold water on my face. Then I head downstairs. My dad stands in the middle of the kitchen with a scowl on his face. "Didnt I tell you to be down here by 7:30 girl? You think that this place runs on your time?" He raises his voice and takes a step towards me. "What time is it girl?" I glance over at the clock. Which says 7:35. Five minutes late. My dad slaps me hard across my face and I shrink back against the wall. "You can forget about breakfast" He snaps harshly. That was fine with me, I rarely ate at home anyways.
I rub my cheek and the sound of my bus outside causes me to sprint torwards the door. "Bye dad!" I yell. As usual, he just grunts in reply and I leave, slamming the door behind me. The warm almost summer air hits my skin and I close my eyes for a moment. The air feels fresh and nice, and I can hear the ocean. That was the good part about living so close to the beach in Florida.
I open my eyes and get onto the bus. The bus driver ignores my prescence and I sit in the seat in the very back. Where I normally sit everyday. The next stop is Vic's. He's kind of new at our school- he started about a month ago. He normaly sits in the front but today he sits in the seat right in front of me. I feel my throat get dry and I try to ignore him. That is until he turns around and flashes me a smile. Which makes me notice how cute his smile is.
Vic has longish wavy dark brown hair and matching warm brown eyes. He was taller than I was and had seemed to fit in right when he walked into our school. "Hey there." He says. I nod. "Im Vic." He says introducing his self. "Yeah I know. Vic the new kid." I say, forcing myself to smile. "Yeah." He laughs and brushes his hair out his face. "Im Skylar." I tell him. Skylar Blue-Rae." He smiles. Thats a pretty name" He tells me. I blush. "Thank you." I say.
Pretty soon the the bus is full and we arrive at the school. I stand and I feel Vic still looking at me so I turn to face him. "Um..." He says. "I really like youre hair color....its rad" He finishes. I smile brightly. "Thanks." "No problem" He heads off the bus and I walk behind him. Pretty soon he disapears in the crowd of kids in front of me. I feel butterflies in my stomach and I try to ignore them. Their was no way I was going to start to like a guy who I'd never have any chance with. No way. I walk into the school right before the first bell rings.
