Chapter four: The dilemma

Kendall's p.o.v.

I made it through the morning. I don't know how but I did. So there's this possible dead girl stalking me. I swear she's everywhere! She made me sound like a lunatic during first when I started yelling at her to leave me alone. Of course I know who I was yelling at, but everyone else thought I was just yelling at the window.

During second period she walked into the class and wouldn't stop bugging me. So I talked to her, and my classmates believe I'm crazy because they didn't see anything where Skye was supposed to be. So to keep from further embarrassing myself I ignored her the rest of the class, and trust me it was one of the hardest things to do. That girl would just not shut up! So when second period ended I rushed out the room and started for my third.

I turned back to see if I was being followed. No sign of Skye, so that was good. But it probably wouldn't be long before she finds me again. What does she want? It's driving me crazy because she won't leave me alone! Maybe she won't leave me alone because I'm the only one that can see her, whatever. I wish I had one of those ghost sucking machines like the one's the Ghostbusters had.

"Kendall!"

I was startled by the voice, but was quickly relived when it sounded like a male's voice. In fact it was Carlos calling to me, I already recognized his voice and how cheery and happy it sounded. I turned and was face to face with Carlos. He had the usual big smile on his face.

"Hey Carlos, what's up?"

"So how is your first day of school so far?" Carlos asked while we started walking towards our third periods.

"If I could describe it in one word . . . I'd have to say unbelievable,"

"Really, how so Kendall?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you Carlos," I said putting a hand on one of his shoulders. I sighed and gave him a smile, "well this is my stop, see ya later Car-" I stopped when he entered the classroom that was my third period, I smiled and took a seat next to Carlos.

"You have this class too?" I asked after placing my bag beside me.

Carlos smiled and pulled out his cell phone, "Yeah. Sorry I forgot to tell you earlier when you showed me your schedule." He said while replying to a text message.

It wasn't long until the class got full, the last student to enter was a tall, built young man with, I don't know how else to put this but, nice hair. He sat in the front row next to other males that fit into the 'popular' category. I was about to ask who he was but I stopped myself when I seen the look on Carlos' face.

"What's wrong Carlos?"

He looked at me then shook his head, "It's nothing Kendall,"

"Carlos, I'm not dumb. You went from happy to mad just as that guy walked in. You don't like him or what?"

Carlos kept his eyes on the floor tile and smiled, "I, uhm . . .well it's just that James is the gu-" He was cut off when the teacher started speaking, I tried to get him to finish but he just said he'd tell me later.

-[ Fifty minutes later ] –

So third period wasn't as bad as the other morning classes, and that was because Casper wasn't in the room bugging me this time. Thank god! The bell rang and the teacher dismissed us, but before I left Carlos handed me a folded piece of paper. He just smiled at me when I looked at him.

I opened the paper and it turned out to be a note,

'Hey Kendall,

Sorry that I'm writing this, but I won't be seeing you in school for the rest of the day because we don't have anymore classes together. I just need to get this off of my chest, I haven't told anyone this and don't go telling people either or I will have to crush you. Just kidding, but anyways this is regarding James Diamond; he was the guy who was late. Anyways, a year ago before Skye passed away I found something out. I had found out that he and Jo, my used to be friend, had slept together behind Skye's back. Jo was Skye's best friend and she betrayed her, anyways Jo ended up coming clean to me about it. She made me promise not to tell Skye, she claims she needed to tell someone to get the guilt off of her chest, but I ended up telling Skye. That was the night she and James broke up, the night she passed, and the night she told me I was her only true friend. That was also the night I was going to tell her how I felt about her, but I chickened out and decided to wait. I should have told her, at least she would have known about my feelings for her. That's why I'm so sensitive when it comes to Skye, she was my crush since Kindergarten, and I dislike James with a passion for hurting her like that.

Anyways, now you know. The history of James and Skye, and what happened the night of her death.

Thanks for taking your time to read this,

Carlos.'

I didn't know what to think when I finished reading the letter. I felt bad for being so cruel to poor Skye; her last day on earth must have been emotionally exhausting. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard "Hey," from behind me. Speaking of the devil, I turned and saw Skye standing behind me.

"What chu' got there Kendall," she tried to read what I had in my hand but I crumpled it before she could read anything. "a love letter?"

I just smiled and nodded, there was no way I was going to look crazy talking to nothing again. I just decided to communicate without words, made me seem less crazy.

"Aw, that is so cute! So who's the girl Kendall? Maybe I knew her and I could tell you what she was like."

I stayed quiet and thought for a bit before I answered, "Jo is her name," I blurted out. I was curious to see what she would have to say about her old friend.

"Oh . . . well never mind. I didn't know her so can't help you there,"

She was looking down; I could tell she didn't like talking about her old friend. I felt guilty for asking; maybe it was because of the face she was making. She looked sad and innocent, and I couldn't help but change the subject to avoid the guilt gushing over me.

"Thanks anyways but truth is this is just notes from class. Haha, just wanted to know a bit about the girls around here."

"Oh ok, that's good then," She smiled and I smiled back, "so now you're heading to fourth?"

"Yeah, and if I may ask why didn't you accompany me to third?" I asked. I was just curious and wanted to know if James was the reason why she didn't go to my third.

"Well, there's this guy that I used to see in your class. And even though he can't see me, it still hurts to see the guy who CRUSHED my heart into millions of pieces. So I didn't go in when I saw him walking in the door."

"Was it James Diamond?"

She stopped and looked at me, she stayed quiet then shook her head. "Y-yeah. How did you know, if I may ask?"

I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to tell on Carlos. Wait, why am I afraid to tell on Carlos? It's not like Skye could do anything about it. "Carlos kind of filled me in on his history."

She just nodded.

I made it to my fourth period and saw the most beautiful blonde sitting in the back of the room. I smiled when I saw an empty seat next to her. I quickly rushed to get to it, leaving Skye behind. I sat down and smiled at the blonde, she smiled back.

"Hey, the name's Kendall."

The blonde girl looked at me and giggled, "Sorry I don't talk to strangers," she turned her attention back to the board.

Boy did I feel like an idiot. I turned to face the front but the girl spoke again, "Kidding! The name's Jo, Jo Taylor."
