Skylar's Pov

I had called Mo and asked to go over to her house as soon as detention ended. "See ya later, cupcake!" Ray yelled as he hopped into Scott's car. "Not likely!" I yelled back.

He smirked before Scott sped off. Just then Mo's car came into view. "Hey there, little trouble maker." I smiled at her and got in the car, I decided to mess with her. "Hi, Scott's lover."

Her face immediately paled and I giggled. "I don't know what you're talking about." she said putting the car in drive. "Don't worry, I won't say anything." she instantly let out a breath she had been holding.

"Thanks. But, how'd you find out?" she asked, I smiled and told her about Brenigan. "Oh. Want to go to Dante's? The group is waiting for us." I quickly nodded and she started towards Dante's.

Once we got there, the first thing I noticed was Ray and Scott. Great. I seemed to forget that Dante's was also Ray and Scott's place as well as Lemonade Mouth's. I nudged Mo's side and she blushed at the sight of Scott.

For a second, I met Ray's eyes but I quickly looked away. I walked confidently to Olivia's table. I saw the way Mo's eyes lit up when she saw Scott.

I always told myself that I'd never feel that way about someone. Why would I 'fall in love' with someone when it'll only lead to heartbreak? My parents are a perfect example as to why love isn't real.

But, the way Mo looks at Scott is the closest thing I've seen of love. I've never been loved, and I'm planning on keeping it that way. Don't ask why, but I think that being loved might come with responsibilites. You know, like keeping that person happy.

Not like someone would love me. Why would they? I'm just plain old Skylar. I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts and turned to the conversation at hand.

"Dude, that Victoria chick is totally into you." Wen says to Charlie. Victoria? As in my friend, Victoria? Ewww. Her and Charlie? No. Nope. Never. She actually has a boyfriend. They're long distance though.

"No she doesn't." Charlie stated firmly. "We should ask her." Stella said quickly. We all stared at her. "It'd give the poor girl a heart attack. Imagine six people going up to her and asking if she likes Charlie." Olivia replied. I laughed and Stella did too.

"Sorry, wasn't thinking straight." she said after laughing. I giggled, "So, on the topic of love. Intrested in anyone, Skylar?" Olivia asked me. I made a face at her. "Nope."

I was serious when I said I didn't believe in love. The only reason I dated someone was because he seemed intrested in me and I thought he was a really nice person. But I sure as hell am not looking for 'the one' or any of that crap.

"Why not?" asked Mo. "I don't believe in what you humans call 'love'." I said putting air quotations around the word love. The girls gasped except for Stella who seemed as if she were in her own world. "But the world revolves around love." Olivia said.

Cheesssyyyyyy. "No. Hon, that's called the sun." I heard Wen and Charlie start laughing at my remark before Olivia slapped Wen's arm and he stops. "How can you not believe in love?" Wen asks me. "Never have, and never will." I answer getting up to throw my trash away.

Getting up and away from the group was a bad idea. You know why? Because you should know that wherever Ray and Scott are Jules is there too. And Jules is a girl, so of course she'd be late because she was caking make up on her face.

"Hey, freak. I just came to warn you to stay away from Ray, okay?" What is she on? "Um, you're speaking to the wrong person. I don't, nor do I want, anything to do with him. I think you should be telling him to stay away from me." I answer back.

"Please, as if he'd go after you." she said making me feel self-concious. As an instinct I rubbed over the scars on my wrist. "I know right. I'm so out of his league." I answered her. She scoffed.

"Just do what I say. Unless you want your little secret to be announced to the whole school." I quickly sucked in a breath. She knows?

"You wouldn't."

"Try me."

"Bitch."

and with that I walked away as she smirked off to Ray and Scott's table. I hadn't even noticed that redhead there who was always following her around. I don't even know her name. I think it's Patricia.

"What did she want?" was the first question asked as soon as I sat down. "Nothing." they didn't look convinced. "You sure?" Stella asked. "Yeah, just drop it."

They quickly changed the subject and I was grateful for that. For the rest of the time at Dante's I felt a pair of eyes burning holes in the back of my head. I don't know why, but I had a feeling it was Ray.

*Next Day*

I hate Wednesday's. I actually hate Monday-Friday. I love Saturday and Sunday though. I showered and quickly changed. Olivia and I ate quietly and got out the door.

We rode our bikes, communicating now and then about unimportant things. "I like Harry's new hair." Olivia says randomly. "Yeah. His hair looks sexy pushed back." I say laughing at my 'Mean Girls' quote. Olivia laughed along with me and soon we arrived at Mesa High.

I arrived at my locker and quickly grabbed my things for first period. Everything zoomed by fast, except periods three and four considering Ray was in them, and before I knew it, it was lunch. Yay! It's my favorite part of the school day.

When I reached the cafeteria all I heard was yelling. I turned and saw Jules yelling at Ray for something he had said or done. I couldn't really hear well, because I was so far away. The only sound in the room was yelling after everyone had quieted down.

But this time I recognized it as Ray's voice yelling, "You can't judge people like that! And you want to know what my problem is? You. I can't stand you, Jules! The only reason I hang out with you is because of stupid stereotypes that I have to follow." and with that he stormed out.

Now, don't judge me for my actions. I don't know what had came over me. But I quickly shoved my tray of food into some freshman's hands and ran after Ray.

The thought of me caring about him scares me to death. Not only does it take a lot for me to care about someone, as selfish as that sounds, but it's also Ray we're talking about.

He's rude, arrogant, and a jerk. And annoyingly handsome, but still.

I don't understand.

DONE.

YAY. Please review and favorite. Or don't. Your choice.

BYE!
