(Skylar's POV)

"Let's take a lap." Coach demands, blowing the whistle.

"Anika. Come on." I mumble, grabbing her arm as soon as she opens the door.

We start off at a slow jog, I watch my back, making sure to stay ahead of Patrick.

"Skylar! Slow it down a bit!" Anika yells from behind me, I ignore her, running as fast as my legs will take me.

I finally make it back to coach with Miranda not far behind me.

"You should so come to Cross Country." She whispers, catching her breath.

I flash a small smile, turning around too fast. Slamming right into someone. Patrick. Of course. I lose my balance, and He grabs my arm, making sure I don't fall.

"You okay?" He asks, raising me to my feet.

"Y-y-es" I reply, feeling the heat in my cheeks.

He smiles, letting go of my arm, reuniting with Jeffrey once again.

"What the hell was that!" Anika screams, finally reaching me.

"What?" I ask.

"You left me. Then what happened with Patrick?" She asks, winking a bit.

"Nothing." I insist, she rolls her eyes, taking a deep breath.

~~~After School~~~

"So what's up?" Katie asks, leaning against the wall.

"Patrick." I say, blushing a ton.

"Okay hahah what happened?" She asks.

"A lot." I reply, still amazed.

"Well anyways while you're in a fairy tale trance. Shawn asked me to the dance." She tells me, all excited.

"Really??? Great!" I reply, my face lighting up.

"Yeah hate to break it to you, but you're going, too." She insists.

"No. no way. I'm not going without a date. I don't want to be one of those people." I admit, kind of embarrassed.

Just then, I feel someone tap my shoulder.

(Jeffrey's POV)

"Skylar... I just wanted to ask.... Ummm... You know the dance is coming up... Ummm.." Patrick shudders, dumbly.

"He's asking you to the dance." I tell her, Patrick lowers his eyes to the ground.

"I... Ummm I'd love to." She replies, smiling... Cute.

Patrick awkwardly nods, then walking off without another word.

"Umm... Uh." I cough, Katie giggles, and I follow Patrick.

"What the hell." I mutter.

"Sorry." Patrick laughs.

"Well I'm going home, see ya tomorrow?" I ask, offering a hand.

He slaps my hand, pulling out his phone, I roll my eyes walking off.

(Skylar's POV)

My phone buzzes like crazy in my pocket, I check to see twitter notifications. I sit at my desk, opening my laptop, and pulling up Vine. I pull up Jeffrey's Vine to see what everyone's freaking out about. Oh a new singing vine. It's alright. I change into sweatpants from my jeans and lay on the couch, falling asleep.
