God I hate school!
The only good thing is seeing your friends and getting away from my brother. "SKYE! Hurry up you're gonna be late" My mom calls up the stairs. "Im coming" I sigh and grab my school bag, flinging it over my shoulder as I make my way down the stairs. "Skye" Josh says. "What I'm gonna be late?" I say turning around to face him. "Will you drop me off at Beth's?" He asks. "No" I turn back around I just get the door open before he grabs my bag off my shoulder. "Mom! Josh's got my bag!" I yell towards the kitchen. "Josh give it her back and you drop him off at Beth's on the way to school" She calls back. Dropping my bag on the floor Josh runs towards my car shouting "I CALL SHOTGUN". "DUDE,THERE'S NO ONE ELSE HERE"I yell after him. I walk towards my truck and get in. "What you so happy about?" I ask Josh how is smiling alot more than usual. "Well, why wouldn't I be happy. I'm going to see the best girlfriend in the world!" He says as I start the truck. "Pass me a bucket" I mumble. "You won't say that once you have a boyfriend" He teases. "Yeah, that will never happen. They guys in my school are jerks." "What about James, Carlos, Logan or Chase?" He asks.
"Dude, they're my best friends...scince kindergarden plus Chase is a girl!"
"Still, they know you best" He says ruffling my hair.
I pull up outside Beth's house. "Just get out before I kill you" I say putting on my sarcastic smile. He jumps out the truck and walks toward Beth's house. I may be younger than him and smaller but he knows I'm not afraid to hit anyone..even him. I drive to school singing along to my Taking Back Sunday cd. I find a parking spot between Chase and James. I get out, grab my bag and walk over to them. "Heyy" They say. "Hi" I yawn. "Why you so tierd?" James asks putting his arm around my shoulder. "Didn't sleep much. I was trying to figure out some cords for this song we have to write for music" I explain as the bell rings. "You stress out to much in music, You need to relax. Your the best in the class, Skye" Carlos says aslo putting his arm around my shoulder. I sigh as we walk inside. Logan and Chase say good bye heading towards their class. While Carlos, James and I head towards ours - Math :( . We take our seats at the back of class not planning on paying attention. I sit on my own with Carlos and James by my left.
As walks in I close my eyes leaning back in my seat. She introduces some new kid. Kendall I think she said but I pay no attention and start humming A decade under the influence - Taking Back Sunday. I feel someone sit down next to me but I don't open my eyes 'till that person says "I love Taking Back Sunday". I open my eyes and look at them. It's a boy with dirty blonde hair and green eyes. I don't say anything as he turns to face ...'Wow' I think 'Just wow'. I feel someone poke me snapping me back to reality. I look towards Carlos and James, both of them smirking. 'Close your mouth' James mouths making Carlos burst into a fit of silent laughter. "Hate you" I mumble. "Love ya too" James whispers back teasingly,winking. I stick my tounge out at him and slouch back in my chair crossing my arms. Kendall leans back too, "Boyfriend?" He asks nodding at James who is chatting away to Carlos. "Nahh, just really irritating best friend. Gotta love him though" I say pulling my phone out of my pocket as I feel it vibrate. It's Josh.
'Thanks for the lift this morning. Tell mom I'm staying in Beth's tonight. Lov frm ya one and only bother xxxx'
I hear Kendall chuckle. I look up to see him reading my text. "So, you know my name. What's your's?" Kendall asks. I open my mouth to reply but.."Skye Whitock! No phones in class bring it here and you can get it after class!" shouts from the front of class making me nearly drop my phone. "It's Skye, in case you didn't here her" I say sarcastically as I get up. I place my phone in front of and smile really sarcastically before turning around and walking back to my seat. When I sit down starts rambling on about something or other. I just sit back in the position I was in before Kendall sat down. I start humming again but this time it's my song for music class. "That sounds good, have I heard it?" Kendall asks. "No, it's my song." I say without opening my eyes.
I remember I have my music sheets in my bag so I get them out and start looking over them trying to add. "Thunder", Kendall reads the title "Wow, you wrote all this?" Kendall asks picking up one sheet. "Yes", I snatch the sheet off him, "But it's not finished. I need to work out the cords of the end." I explain. "You play guitar? Cool, me too. Maybe we should get together sometime and you can show me how good you are." He says. Is he flirting?. I shrug. "How about after school?". "I can't. My new neighbors are coming around for dinner and my mom is stressing out and now Josh isn't gonna be there so I'll be the one having to help her" I sigh,"Shall we exchange numbers?".He nods handing me his phone. I punch my number in as he writes his down for me .The bell signaling break goes off as I hand him his phone back. I grab my stuff and walk towards the front to grab my phone. I can hear James and Carlos behind me talking about Hockey practice after school. "Are you sure you have to go to hockey practice and can't come round tonight. I'm dreading the new neighbors coming around.?" I say not looking where I'm going and I walk into Kendall's back. "Oh, sorry" I say. "It's okay" He smiles and walks away. We walk outside to our usual spot under the trees. Chase and Logan are already there. Logan stressing out about some test they are going to have next math lesson. "Dude, chillax your the best at math..ever" I say sitting down. "Skye, did you see the new kid? He's cute" Chase seems in a bit of a hype. "Oh, she's seen him..They exchanged numbers" James nods, whispering the last part. Chase wolf whistles, "maybe our Skye has found her first boyfriend" She says loudly. I slap her arm looking around to see if anyone heard her. CRAP! Kendall is sitting my the wall near us with his headphones in but still seems to have heard Chase. I look away letting my hair hide my face as I blush...Man today was gonna be a long day.
As the day went along it turned out Kendall had my whole timetable and Emily made the most of it by embarrissing me everytime he walked past or talked to me in class. I was relieved when the home bell went. I practically ran towards my car not looking anywhere but in front of me. I climb in my truck and head home. I pull up outside my house as a car pulls up in front of next door. I don't look that way and walk straight inside wanting to get tonight over and done with. "Mom, I'm home. Josh said he's staying in Beth's so I'll help you if you want". I say dumping my bag on the floor and walking into the kitchen. "No need, honey. I'm all done you go and relax before the neighbors get here." I nod and make my way upstairs. "And change don't wear the same thing you wore for school!" Mom calls up the stairs "Okayy!".
I walk into my room, close the door behind me. I change into something one of my favourite outfits, (.com/casual/set?id=43795455 ) and open my window before flopping onto my couch next to the window. I pull my laptop onto my knee and check my Facebook and Twitter. I put Youtube on and blast Incubus loudly singing along. My phone vibrates on my bed. Getting up, still singing I walk over to my bed and see I have one text..from Kendall.
'I love this song too+you're good at singing :)' I read it feeling really confused. My phone vibrates. It's Kendall again, 'Look out the window'. I get up and walk back over to my window. In the window of the house opposite I see Kendall standing there waving at me. Turning down my music I wave back. He opens his window. "This is easier than texting" He smirks. "So, It's your family that's coming around tonight?" I ask. He nods, "Still dreading it?" He asks as my mom calls me form downstairs. "Not that much anymore" I smile. "SKYE!" Mom shouts. "I'm coming!" I shout back. I look back at Kendall his eyes wide. "Yeah, I'm kinda loud. and I gotta go before she comes up here to get me" I laugh. He nods, "see you inna bit". He closes his window a I close mine and walk towards the bathroom as there is a knock on the door. I hear my mom saying hello and welcoming them. I sort out my hair before walking downstairs. Mom introduces us "Skye,this is Jenifer Knight and her son..". "Kendall" I finish her sentance. "We met at school" We explain when our moms give us a weird look. I take Kendall and his mom into the dineing room while mom dishes the food out. We eat, Kendall and I talking about music and school while our moms talk about the neighborhood. When we finish mom suggests I take Kendall on a tour of the house while she and Jenifer wash up. Having already seen downstairs I show Kendall upstairs I show him the bathroom, Josh's room, Mom's room, the spare room then finally my room. I walk in and walk straight to my couch flopping down. "Wow..your room is very..." Kendall tries to think of the right word. "Blue?, Black?, emo?" I say looking at him. "Not emo but yes very blue and black" He says walking over to me, I sit up for him to sit down. I shrug. We sit there in awkward silence untill my phone rings 'And will you tell all your friends you've got your gun to my head This all was only wishful thinkin, this all was only wishful thinkin' (Taking Back Sunday - cute without the e). I check my phone, It's Chase. "Hold on, If I don't reply Chase won't shut up" I tell Kendall. He nods as I answer.
"Hello?"
"How come the new kid is in your room?"
"Kendall's my neighbor, he's here for dinner remember and how the hell do you know?"
"I was gonna pop in but I saw you two through your window so I'm not going to. I'll just leave you two alone" She teases.
"Chase.."
"No, No I'll just go round to Logan's house to revise for the math test." "Chase.." She hung up on me!. "I may kill that girl somday" I say looking at Kendall. "Chase is a girl?" He sounds shocked. "No wayy" I say sarastically. Theres a knock on my door and Mom sticks her head in saying "Me and Jenifer are going to pop out for a bit, will you two be okay?" She asks. Kendall nods while I say "I'll try not to kill him or burn the house down I promise". Mom gives me a disapproving look but nods aand leaves. Once they had left I turn to face Kendall. "So..what do you wanna do?". He shrugs. "How about we...go for a swim in the pool?" "sure, but I'll have to find my trunks" Kendall says getting up. "Nah, you can use a pair of Josh's he won't mind. The worst he'll do is eat you" I say geting up and walking in into josh's room. "Are you always this sarcastic?" Kendall asks following me. "Yes,Yes I am." I find some trunks for Kendall and go back into my room to change. ( .com/blue_beach_wear/set?id=43777004 ). I walk down stairs and out toward the pool to see Kendall sitting on the edge with his feet in and back to me. I sneak in and push him in. He comes up to the surface and see's me standing by the side with a smirk on my face. "Your not gonna get away with that" he says. "Why what you gonna do?" I say crouching down towards the water. "this" and he grabs my arms pulling me in. I come up to the surface wiping water from my face and my hair out my eyes. We ended up having a water fight and chasing each other around the pool. I was swimming away from Kendall but the grabbed my foot so I went flying back into him. "Get off" I laugh trying to wiggle out of his grip but instead of letting go Kendall starts tickling my foot causing me to laugh more. "Skye!" Someone calls from the house. Josh and Beth are standing on the other side of the pool watching us. "Hey, big brother. This is Kendall our new neighbor." I say as Kendall lets go of my foot. "Okayy...why are you in the pool in your tank top and why was he tickling you?" Josh asks laughing. "Because, like you, He's a jerk and pulled me in the water and then started tickling me" I say splashing Kendall. Once again the water fight started up but this time we were splashing Josh and Beth. "SKYE!" "KENDALL!" Uh oh, now we are in trouble.
The only good thing is seeing your friends and getting away from my brother. "SKYE! Hurry up you're gonna be late" My mom calls up the stairs. "Im coming" I sigh and grab my school bag, flinging it over my shoulder as I make my way down the stairs. "Skye" Josh says. "What I'm gonna be late?" I say turning around to face him.
