Before I Go

Things Change, But not This, Not Us

Skylar POV

"Wow, you remembered?" I say as I stare up at the neon sign in front of me.

"How could I not? You wanted to come here everyday when we were like 7. And remember we met James here. This place always cheered you up, it is iconic!" he says

I laugh a little, revisiting my old memories.

"Well let's go inside, Shall we?" He asks gesturing to the door.
"Race you to our favorite Game!" I shout before sprinting to the door. I hear him laugh and run behind me.
I can hear his footsteps making a thud on the carpeted floors beneath us.
I wind through rows of arcade games and finally spot our favorite in the far corner. Right where we left it. I look to my right and see him right beside me. I pick up my speed and reach the machine just a split second before him.

I collapse to the floor dramatically. Tired from that run. He laughs and sits beside me. For a minute we just sit there looking around and trying to catch our breath.

"It hasn't changed at all," I comment.
"Its like its stuck in a time wharf," he jokes. I laugh at him. We move onto the pac-man machine and play for a while.

After about an hour of playing pac-man together and just joking around he mentions he is hungry.
"Me too," I add. "Wanna go to the snackbar?" He asks I nod and we walk to the front of the arcade.

We order a Large fry to share and I order a vanilla milkshake and he orders a strawberry one.

"Hey remember this?" He asks before dipping his fry into his milkshake.
"Yesss!" I shout excitedly and dip my fry into my own milkshake.

"Thank you Logan. This was so much fun. I've forgotten how much I missed Summerstien. How much I missed you," I thank him. He looks up from his milkshake and meets my eyes at my last comment. His blue eyes glistening under the neon lights. I smile and he returns the act.

"You're welcome anytime. I miss this. Us hanging out, just having fun. It's been so long since we've been here together. Okay I'm just repeating everything," he laughs as he brings his hand to rub the back of his head. 

"Its okay, we should probably get going now... it's getting colder by the minute out there," I suggest. "Definitely," he agrees.

VERY IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE!!!
Okay so...remember how Logan and James plays football? And remember how Skyalr is starting school after winter break? Well I'm changing the time of year. Instead of her coming to school in the middle of the year she will only be coming about one month late. So it is now autumn and the month is September. If this is confusing please comment so I can further explain. Keep in mind nothing else has changed. Everything that has happened so far remains until further notice.

Friday Morning
{~~~~~~}

I decided to take my car to school today.

{~~~~~~}

{~~~~~~}
 
I pull into the school parking lot and park in a shady corner near the front entrance of the School. I hop out of my car and grab my bag from the back seat. I walk through the front doors and make my way to my locker to wait for May to meet me.

All week I've walked with Logan to school but my feet were tired so I decided to take a rain check today. I offered him a ride but he politely declined, as he had to get to school extra early for a football meeting. Today is the first game of the season after all! The whole school is super psyched. School spirit is in the air.
After about five minutes of waiting in front of my locker, I see May round the corner. She seems extra cheerful with an extra "skip" to her step.

"Hey! Are you excited? Today is the day!" She exclaims as she approaches me. "Yup, first game of the season" I nod throwing my fist into the air as a cheering gesture.
"Did you forget?"she gasps. "Forget what?" I ask. "About how Logan invited you as his date to his Football game"

Okay, I'm going to keep this short. New update for you. Sorry for the lag, I don't know what's going on with my mind lately. Anyways, hope you enjoyed. Oh and don't forget about the time change. If you have questions feel free to comment and I will do my best to explain. Bye!
