Skylar is 16. When she moves to a new city and a new school. Reign is 18. The bad boy of the school. He has girls lining up to be with him. What happens when he crosses paths with her? He knows one thing for sure that he wants her.
"How can you say that to me Reign, I'm your best friend don't you remember?"
Reign runs a hand through his hair, "I just can't lie. Especially to her. I don't know what's happening to me but I can't think straight at all."
"What is the difference between Skylar and all the girls that you have in line for you?"
Reign was biting hard on his teeth, "Skylar is different in every way possible. I also wonder why I want so much more with her. It's something that I am trying to understand myself."
"I saw her first Reign, I wanted her first and I asked her out first whilst you were busy with Karly!" Jessie exclaimed.
"All that might be true, but fate bought me to Skylar that's why we ended in situations like these."
"Don't bull shit me Reign." Jessie took a step towards Reign.
"Please don't hurt him." Skylar intercepted.
Jessie's face turned to one of defeat, "I won't."
"Thank you." she breathed out in relief.
"So you two must have had fun stringing me along all those times and days. I would wander why it was the two of you at the bleachers, why she sat next to you in English or why you left Karly. And even here, you were in our room and I knew you had been with Reign, that they had to be some sort of explanation but the truth is out and you two must have been having a thrilling time."
"That's not true, when Reign and I had these encounters it wasn't planned or anything. We also had to be together because of school, we have an English assignment that is due and we have to work together. That is all."
"So you are telling me that you don't have any feelings for Reign?"
Skylar paused, "I..."
"So you like this asshole too?"
"No, it's not like that, and I know that I am not supposed to be with him no matter what because I could end up having a broken heart."
Jessie laughs lightly, "So your only concern is the fact that you don't trust Reign but you still want to be with him."
Skylar's eyes widen, she can see a gleam of hope in Reigns eyes.
"I think you misinterpreted my words, I said Reign and I can never be together and gave an example. But there so many more factors. And with you I could never be with you because you and Reign are friends and that would be awkward with everything that has transpired between us. There would always be friction."
"What if Reign and I were no longer friends?" Jessie replied.
"That's the thing, I don't want to come in between your friendship, that would tear me apart as someone who has best friends and they mean the world to me no matter what happens, I am ready to forgive them because I can't live without them,"
"But who truly has your heart Skylar?"
"It doesn't matter because I wont pick either of you and there is no point in breaking up your friendship over meaningless hope."
"I see." Jessie replied
Skylar wandered what Reign thought about all this, he was extremely quiet, he hadn't said anything at all. Skylar noticed his lip had blood on it and it seemed as if he was ashamed.
"I think we should all head back, we have a long day that awaits tomorrow."
