(Skylar's POV)

Several minutes pass before Anika finally walks into the locker room.

"So, Katie tells me she saw a certain someone walking with Jeffrey." She winks, bumping my shoulder, and opening her locker.

"No. It was nothing." I quickly say back, disgusted with the subject.

"Whatever Sky. Whatever. Stay away from my man. Kidding... Anyways, how was history? Or should I say, how was Patrick?" She asks, with a smirk on her face.

"It was fine... It was..." I reply, trailing off, feeling the redness in my cheeks.

She laughs at herself, pulling her gym shirt over her head.

"Let's get going ladies!" Coach screams, patting me on the back.

"Why do we even have gym. Don't they torture us enough?" Anika mumbles under her breath.

"I don't mind it." I reply, pulling my hair back into a ponytail.

"Well of course you don't. You're Skylar." She whispers, slamming her locker shut.

"I'm going to try and not take that as an insult." I softly tell her.

"Just go ahead, I'm gonna be a while." Anika insists, looking herself over in the mirror.

"You look fine.." I say, checking my hair.

"To you." She grumbles, waving me off.

I shrug, walking out the locker room door and into the gym, where everyone has already taken their seats.

"Skylar!" Miranda screams, running over to me.

"Yeah?" I ask, continuing to walk.

"Are you coming to Cross Country?" She questions, out of breath.

"Probably not." I answer quickly.

"Why not? You're like the best chance we have on winning regionals!" She protests, I shrug, taking a seat on the gym floor.

Patrick walks through the gym doors, Jeffrey by his side. I tense up and pull my knees to my chin.

"You know. If you like Jeffrey, you should just tell him." Miranda mumbles, sitting next to me.

"I don't like Jeffrey." I reply, flicking my eyes off of them.

"Patrick?" She asks, I shake my head, she laughs.

"So Patrick. Isn't exactly your type, but I can see it." She answers, I sigh, picking myself up, walking over to the entrance of the gym waiting for Anika.
