Stuffing my bag in my locker I grab a couple of books for the first two periods.Yawning a bit loudly,I rub my eyes in tiredness and lack of enough sleep.My hair's a royal mess and I look like a walking zombie but that's the least of my worries right now.With assignments and projects piling up,a girl can only do so much in less time.

I close my locker louder than I intended and turn to face the hallway filled with students chattering noisily.My stomach growls loudly making its need known and I groan in agreement.

It's only morning and I couldn't wait for school to be over.

A loud and familiar voice calls my name amidst the many students and I turn around, waiting for my friends I was supposed to meet in class catch up with me.One arm akimbo,I raise an eyebrow."I thought you guys would be in class already."They stop in front of me,eyes giddy with excitement which peaks my curiosity.

"Didn't you hear?"Paige stares at me,puzzled.

I cross my arms together,replying flatly. "That they now serve square shaped pizzas at the cafeteria?Yeah nobody cares about that."

Frowning,Amy inquires."Why would they do that?'

"What?No.I mean have you heard about the new transfer student?"Paige asks,clapping her hands together excitedly.

I just stare dumbly,having no idea what she's talking about."There's a new student here?"

Amy informs,clearly surprised."Yeah he transferred today and everyone's already talking about him.How did you not know?"

Seeing as I didn't really pay attention to chatters or rumours along the hallway the news didn't come as a surprise.Moving away from the lockers,I shrug in indifference."He's not the first student to be transferred here so what's all the excitement about?"

"Oh Skye,try to keep up.It's been forever since we've had a transfer student so naturally there's a new interest."Paige winks and I roll my eyes at the meaning behind her words.Of course the girls have found a new prey to dig their nails into literally-girls like Tiana Mclane and her little minions especially now that she and Gage are not together anymore if they ever were an item that is.

Who freaking knows?

I snort,uninterested."Well they can knock themselves out.Besides Amy you have Ethan and he's really into you as you are him right?"

She smiles but it doesn't quite reach her eyes."Right."I could swear something didn't seem right with Amy's quick response.It almost looked like she was pretending?

"I mean of course I am.Ethan's perfect."She adds with a huge grin,all traces of pretense gone.I frown,confused about her sudden change of expression.Maybe I'm just reading into something that isn't there and it's nothing?But her unusual disappearances and mood changes are saying something else.

Something's not right."Am I missing something here?"I look at Paige who's equally perplexed and back at Amy but she just laughs,shaking her head."What are you going on about Skylar?"

I narrow my eyes at her in doubt."Are you okay?"My mind begins to race for possible answers to her strange behaviour and I try not to jump into conclusions or pressure her into talking if she doesn't want to.

"Yeah.Why won't I be?"She questions, looking genuinely puzzled."Now can we get to class?"I nod wordlessly as we head to face the long painful hours of torture.

Okay.She's not ready to talk.I'd just have to find a way for her to tell me what's on her mind or figure it out myself.

Funny how I seem to be doing a lot of that lately.
