                                            Skye's POV (14 1/2  years later)



   "Skye Skye wake up" Skyler whisper yelled to her.  " Ugh Skyler just five more minutes please" I said as I rolled over and covered my head with my pillow. " You have practice in an hour Dingbat now get up" She said pulling my blanket and pillow off my head. "Crap" I yelled "fine I'm up I'm up" I yelled and got off my very comfortable queen bed and made my way to the bathroom.  After thirty minutes I came out in my towel to find Skyler in her cheerleader uniform. "How on gods green earth are you so damn cheery in the morning?" I say as I go to my walk in closet to grab my volleyball uniform and get ready for practice. 

"That's why I'm a cheerleader" she chuckled at me.

  "Remind me again how we are twins" I said as I walked over to my vanity to pull my strawberry blonde hair up into my usual ponytail. Skyler and I are identical twins and its scary sometimes how we can read each other and feel what the other feels. We are both slim with curves and we are freaky tall, long and lanky at five foot eleven inches. She's the perky cheerleader but not like the other cheerleaders who are stuck up and snobby. She's also very smart. She is on the debate team she is also on the math team and she wants to be a doctor. She's way to perky for six am. As for me I play sports and draw and paint. I love to read and write as well and I hate mornings which my coach has dubbed practice before school starting at six thirty am. 

 Her violet eyes meet mine in the mirror and said " Just because we look the same does not mean we have to be the same" and out my door she went. 

"Skye" my mother yelled. "Hurry up or you're going to be late. Great I thought as I grabbed my backpack and ran down the stairs. I grabbed a banana and apple and ran to the car with my sister behind the wheel." God help me" I silently prayed as she backed up and off we went to another day of hell called high school.

   Five minutes before our practices started we pulled into school. Skyler ran to the football field while I ran to the gym. The net was set up and everyone was doing warm ups. I put my bag down and ran over to start my warm ups. "About time you showed up you dumb bitch" April said I just looked at her as I started to stretch my legs.  "Ok ladies, lets get started by running bleachers five laps" Coach Walker yelled as she blew her whistle. We all lined up and began. I really hated running bleachers it was the worst part of playing sports. 

   After an hour of practice I showered and began walking to my locker to get my books for my first two classes. "How was practice" Skyler asked coming up to her locker. " Good other than April how was yours?" I smiled back at her. She slightly frowned knowing April bullied me and I just ignored her because she was not worth my energy. "Why don't you stand up to her" she asked still frowning. I just shrugged "She's not worth my time" I replied.

   The warning bell rang and I went to my Calculus class. I made it to my seat right before the bell rang. I hated this class to me it was just a bunch of useless information. After and hour and a half the bell rang and off to advanced biology I went. We only had 4 classes a day we had A day and B day. The classes were longer but it was worth it homework wise. I had B lunch today which was fine the only problem was Skyler had A lunch and since I don't have any friends because they are twofaced I took my lunch outside and sat under the trees. 

   After lunch I went to my mechanics class. Yes you heard right, I love to work on cars which is a good thing because that's how I kept our old beat up beetle running. I was the only girl in the class but that was fine by me. I lost track of time and the next thing I knew it was time for Athletic and more damn practice because we had the homecoming game tonight.

  After the bell rang we had to go to the bus to drive the thirty minutes to our biggest rivals. We are the Wolverines they are the Wolves. We are the top two schools in West Texas. We will end up in the playoff's to go to the nationals we almost always do.

  Coach walker came over to give up the first line-up. Of course I was the left spiker and middle blocker but I was also a backup setter. They won the coin toss and served first. The girl who served was ballsy and did a jump serve. it was retrieved by Brittney and Rachel set it up perfectly. I waited just a second to make them think I would miss and ran up and spiked it in their dead zone. And we won the first set. We where taking a break when I looked around for my parents who always came to the first half of my games then went to the last half of Skyler's but they where not there. Maybe they changed it up. I didn't have time to think to hard on it as the second set was starting.

 "Got it" I yelled as I retrieved a spike and sent it to Rachel. We where almost at point match when the doors opened and policemen walked in. A timeout was called by the referee. I didn't pay much attention as I grabbed a bottle of water. I was watching with curiosity as the policemen went to talk to Coach Walker. All the sudden I turned back to the door and waited for Skyler to come in. I could feel her here which was weird because she should have been at the football game. When she came in tears where rolling down her face as a female policeman had an arm around her. I dropped my water as I felt my world crumble while I ran to hold my sister as she sobbed and told me our parents where dead.
