Scars Out Of Love

Bad Influence(8)

Sleep was just a dream after the night I had spent with Sky. I laid awake for hours thinking about what she had said and what she had done. She liked me, but did I like her back? Was I allowed to like her? I just didn't know. My alarm went off as I stared at the clock, still in shock. I slumped out of bed and threw some clothes on, including a low cut shirt and skinny jeans. I messed up my hair and cleaned my mouth before heading out the door, completely forgetting my backpack. I turned around to lock my door and when I went to head down the stairs, there she was, leaning against the railing, waiting for me. I cautiously hopped down each step until I was standing next to her, "Uh, hi Sky..."

She smiled and started down the steps, quite clearly wanting me to follow, "How'd you sleep?" How the hell was she being so casual? The day before she had told me I was cute and now all it was, was a dumb stereotypical question, "Not at all." I kept my answer short, not wanting to elaborate on the reason.

"Now why's that? Was something bothering you?" She laughed to herself almost as if she knew she was the reason. That laugh set me off. I stopped dead on a step and she turned to look at me, "The reason? What was the reason? Did it not occur to you that when you tell and insecure girl they're cute and then fucking hold their hand and kiss them that then might be slightly confused? Are you retarded or what? Do you not realize what you did to me? This place was supposed to be different! For years I got called gay and I moved to escape that and now you come along and make me question if I actually am, so thank you for that, I haven't even lived here for a week and you maned to fuck things up for me. Listen to me I must sound like an idiot, a complete stranger I know nothing about ruined my life and now I'm rambling on about it. I think you should leave me alone, bye."

I walked down the rest of the stairs, trying to control myself enough not to look back. When I stepped into the sidewalk at the bottom, I snuck a look behind me to see that she had disappeared. I assumed that she went back into her apartment and I continued towards the school. I didn't see her at all and I was slightly concerned that I was the reason she ditched. After the day was done I jogged home, just wanting to get to my room and possibly get some rest before the weekend.

The weekend came and went and I still didn't see Sky. I cried for a few hours wondering how bad I had hurt her. I had never hurt anyone before, I was never close enough to anyone to actually hurt them. Friday was a sleepless night, along with Saturday, my brain didn't stop until I passed out at around noon on Sunday. I had a nightmarish sleep until around two am when there was a knock on my window. I woke up and immediately thought how I could defend myself, until I saw a familiar face outside. I jumped out of my bed not realizing I was only wearing a tank top and boxers and ran to the window. I cranked the locks and pushed the window up.

"Nice clothes." She seemed angry, yet very pleases to see me.

"Sky, I was so worried you were mad at me and that was the reason you weren't there on Friday!"

"It was, I was pissed." She slid over the windowsill and walked over to my closet, "Then what are you doing here if you're still mad at me?" She ignored my question and searched through my clothes, grabbing a green laced tank top and a pair of athletic booty shorts with a neon trim to match the top, "What color is your swimsuit?"

"I, uh, don't have one."

"Great one more stop, come on." She threw the clothes at me and sat on the corner of my bed, I knew I should ask where we were going, but all that mattered was that she was talking to me again. I slid the clothes on and looked back up at her, she walked towards my window and I followed. She casually hopped out to the staircase and turned to grab my hand and help my through, "Do you know how to board?"

"What kind of board?"

"A penny board what else?"

I shook my head and he sighed annoyed, "Then this will be interesting."
