I went home to grab my stuff and headed over to Vanessa's house. My mom is glad that I have been getting out of the house, so she said that I could go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
knock, knock
"HEYYYY GURL," Vanessa says pulling me into a big hug.
"HEYY V!" I say.
We go up to her room and I drop my bag, and lay on her bed. She jumps up and lays next to me and we sit on our phones for a couple minutes, until Vanessa sits up.
"Soooo..." She says wiggling her eyebrows.
"Soooo what?" I laugh sitting up.
"I saw you and Ethan talking at the pizza place."
"Well yeah, we're friends," I laugh rolling my eyes.
"Yeah okay." She says sarcastically.
"What do you mean 'yeah okay'?" I ask.
"OH COME ON. Based off the way he looks at you, you are more than friends." She says giving me a smirk.
"OK, first of all, we met last night and I don't jump into relationships that quick and second there is no way he likes me. Plus I've only been at school for a week and I haven't had the chance to meet any of the guys. Except him obviously."
I have had only one boyfriend and it ended absolutely horrible. At my old school, guys were simply just not interested. I mean I would dress nice and try hard to get someone to like me, but it just didn't work. So since I have moved, I decided to stop worrying about whether boys like me or not. I like me for me and that is all that matters.
"Skylar," She says rolling her eyes, "You're super nice and hilarious, and not to mention extremely gorgeous. Trust me, I know Ethan. He totally likes you. And if he doesn't already he certainly will. "
"Really?" I ask.
"Yes, I know so." She says giving me a smirk, while I blush.
"Ugh, I just...," I pause, "I don't know. I mean he is really sweet and nice but I want to get to know him more before I start to develop feelings for him." I say. Vanessa seems satisfied with my answer, and looks down at her phone.
"Soooo," I say wiggling my eyebrows at Vanessa, just like she did to me a minute ago.
"What?" She says with a chuckle.
"What do you think about Aaron?"
"Seriously, Skylar?" She blushes.
"Seriously." I say looking at her to explain.
"Okay, I might have a slight crush on him..."
"AH HA! I KNEW IT!" I scream, pleased with my guess.
"He is just so sweet and funny, and he is super cute. I can't help it!" She says with a big smile on her face. Her face suddenly falls, "Is it really obvious that I like him?"
"No not at all. I can just tell because you're my best friend!" I say giving her a hug.
"Aw, you're my best friend, too!" She says, "I lovee youuu."
"I love you, too v!" I say while pulling away from the hug.
I know I have only known her for a whopping 13 days, but I can confidently say that she is my best friend. I would trust her with anything. I know it seems fast but there are some people that you just click with. Vanessa and I just clicked. She is my person. (Grey's reference what up ;)
"Okay, enough with the sappy stuff! Let's watch some Netflix and order some Chinese food!"
For the rest of the night, we watched Netflix, ate some bomb Chinese food, and just talked. It was really fun being able to hang out with just Vanessa and I. And it was great to have someone to talk to.
I left Vanessa's around 12 and went straight home. I had to get some homework done.
I walk through my front door and walked to the kitchen. I start to pull out the tortillas and cheese, to make a quesadilla for lunch. My mom walks in.
"Hey, honey."
"Hey, mom." I say, pulling out a plate, and start to make the quesadilla.
"How was Vanessa's?"
"It was good. I had a lot of fun."
"Good. I'm glad."
I put my food in the microwave, and go on my phone waiting for it to finish. I am scrolling through Instagram, and the buzzer goes off, so I get up and grab the quesadilla.
I bring my plate to the counter, and sit down to eat. While looking on my phone, my mom sits next to me.
"How have you been?" She asks.
"I am good." I say not really paying attention.
"Skylar, really, how have you been?" The alarm in her voice makes me look up at her.
"Umm...I am better." My heart aches as I say this. It's true. I am better. But the accident happened only 8 months ago. I'm still hurting. I miss him. Everyday. And thinking about him, makes me think of Jake, too. Just thinking of Jake makes me so angry. I thought we were forever.
"If you need anything, just let me know." My mom pulls me in for a hug and kisses the top of my head. I love her so much.
"Thank you, I love you Mom."
"I love you too, sweetie."
I finish eating my lunch and go upstairs.
Two hours of Physics and English homework later, I am chilling on my bed and was about to post an Instagram picture, when I noticed that both Ethan and Grayson requested to follow me. I obviously accepted and decided to post this picture.

After I posted the picture, I decided to just chill and take a nap.
