It was around 6pm Skylar had just finished dinner and was going upstairs to go grab her backpack once there she grabs it but on her way to the front door bumps into Sonic.
"Where are you off to"? Sonic asked
"Going to a friend's house to help him study".
"Awww is it your boyfriend Silver"? Sonic asks mockingly
"No a...and don't you have a girlfriend to you should be flirting with"?
"Hey don't you say that".
"Uh huh sure I see the way you drool when you text her".
"Whatever".
Skylar smirks and makes her way downstairs and is about to walk out the door but before she could even open it her mom stops her.
"Where are you going"? She asked in a serious tone
"I'm going to a friends house to study".
"Hmmm I don't know".
"Oh come on mom it's just for a few hours we'll be at his house I'll be fine".
Rachel takes a few moments to think about it reluctantly she agreed and Skylar made her way to Shadow's house.
Skylar walks up to the front door and knocks Blaze is the one who answers the door.
"Skylar glad to see you could make it". She says with excitement
"Yeah same here".
"You're right on time everyone else is here come on in".
Blaze steps out of the way so Skylar could get inside they then both make there way to Shadow's room where Shadow and Silver where waiting for them.
"Hey Skylar glad your mom let you come". Silver says
"Yeah nice to see you could all make it". Shadow tells them
"Cool so, what do you need to study"? Skylar asks
"Multiplication and long division". Shadow answers
"Really that's all"? Blaze asks shocked
"Yeah but remember I am in AP algebra". Shadow tells her
"True". Blaze simply replies
"Anyways we should get started my test is on Friday".
They all sit down in a small circle and begin working on the study packet Shadow's teacher gave to him and right away they stumble into a problem.
"Great". Shadow says
"What"? Skylar asks
"I can't solve this question". He tells her
"Here let me see".
Skylar looks at the question and reads it to herself
"Mike had 23 cans of soda his friend Bob had 63 times that number how many more cans of soda does Bob have?"
"That's easy you just multiply 23 from 63 and you should get 1449". Skylar says
"Hmmmm you really think that's the answer"? Blaze asks
"Go ahead look for yourself".
Blaze and Shadow both get out there calculators and do the math question sure enough they both got a answer of 1449.
"She's right". Blaze says
"But how did you know that"? Shadow ask dumbfounded
"I don't know I just knew".
"Yeah but Skylar this is something we haven't even learned yet". Silver tells her
"So, doesn't mean I have to be stupid".
"No it's not that...lets just get back to work". Silver says
"Agree". Shadow and Blaze say at the same time".
(2 hours later)
A few hours go by and in the end they all were able to get most of the packet done Silver, Blaze, and Skylar all pack there things say their goodbyes and all make there way home head in the same direction.
"Well that was pretty fun". Skylar says
"Pretty fun?, how is doing math fun"? Blaze asks
"No not that the fact I was able to do something for once and hang out with friends outside of school". Skylar tells her
"Your mom not like you having fun"? Silver jokingly ask
"No its not that it's just...she worries a lot she thinks something bad will happen because beast masters had a bad rep for losing control of their powers in public". Skylar explains
"Yeah but that was a long time ago". Blaze says
"I know but you know how moms are".
They all arrive at Skylar's house at first there impressed by the size but Skylar snaps them back into reality.
"Well I'll see you guys tomorrow". Skylar tells them
"Yeah see you later". Blaze say
Blaze walks off leaving just Skylar and Silver.
"So...see you at school tomorrow"? Silver asks
"You know it dork". Skylar responds
"Hey don't call me that". Silver jokingly says
"Don't worry about it I'll see you in math".
"Alright see you later".
Silver makes his way home while Skylar walks inside of hers and is greeted by Sonic sitting by the char near the front window.
"I saw you talking to your boyfriend". Sonic teases
"Huh I'm surprise". Skylar says
"About what"?
"I'm surprise you're not making out with your girlfriend".
While Skylar goes off in a laughing fit, Sonic uses this opportunely to sneak Skylar in put her in a headlock.
"Take it back or I'll make you regent saying that". Sonic threatens in a playful tone
"I'll take my chances". Skylar tells him
Sonic then give Skylar a nuggie and playfully pushes her onto the chair.
"You regent it now"?
"No not really". Skylar says while rubbing her head
They both let out a smile glad to be in each other's presents but then Sonic tells Skylar something exciting.
"Oh I almost forgot mom wanted me to tell you that uncle Ron is coming to visit us on Saturday".
"Really!?, man can't remember the last time we saw him".
"It was on Christmas I think".
As Skylar and Sonic where talking Skylar's phone starts to go off she looks at it and sees it was Shadow who texted her.
"Is that your boyfriend"? Sonic teasingly asks
"No just a friend". Skylar replies
Before Sonic can ask another question Skylar goes into another room to read the message.
Shadow: Thanks for the help tonight really needed it
Skylar: Np dude glad to help 😊
Shadow: I hate to ask but can u come over tomorrow night to help me finish the packet? Blaze and Silver said they'll be there
Skylar: Ummm sure just tell me when, when I see u at school
Shadow: Sounds good see u at school
Skylar: Ok
Skylar puts her phone away and walks back into the living room where Sonic is on the floor playing a video game she then makes her way for the door.
"Where are you off to"? Sonic asks keeping his eyes on his game
"For a run., want to join"?
"Sorry can't I'm almost at the final boss".
"Whatever".
Skylar heads out the door ready to go on her run.
(The next day at Shadow's house)
It's the next day And everyone is back at Shadow's house when suddenly Silver tries to get Skylar attention.
"Hey Skylar". Silver whispers in her ear
"I need to tell you something important".
"Ummm okay". Skylar responds
Silver walks out of the room and Skylar follows leaving Blaze and shadow confused.
"Why did they just leave"? Blaze asks
"I have no clue".
Skylar and Silver are both outside alone ready to talk.
"Look Skylar I can't stop thinking about what happened the other day". Silver begins
"Silver I'm fine though".
"I know but I can't believe you're just fine with it Jacob could've of hurt you real bad".
"Silver I'm am fine you don't have to worry besides it happened two days ago nothing else has happen".
"But Something could you ever know".
Skylar puts a hand on one of Silver's shoulders
"Silver please you don't have to worry about me worry about yourself".
"Why did you have to get involved between me and Connor"? Silver asks his voice filled with regret
"I did because you're my friend and you needed help because that's what friends do".
"I didn't need help before you came it happened everyday Connor always picked on me ever since 5th grade and left me alone as long as I pay him".
"That's horrible why would you do that"?
"Because at least I wasn't getting bullied everyday'! Silver yelled
Skylar is stunned by Silver's sudden outburst she can't find the right words to say.
"I'm...I'm sorry for yelling I've just been holding it in for so long". Silver says
"Don't be I know how it feels".
"Skylar"?
"Yeah"?
"Thanks".
"Thanks for what"?
"F...for listening other than my mom I don't have a lot of people to talk to".
"What about your dad"?
"Don't have one...well I do but I haven't seen him in almost ten years my mom and dad got a divorce when I was four".
"Any siblings"?
"Just a brother".
"Oh".
Silence fills the air for a few minutes that felt like it lasted a lifetime finally Blaze comes to fill the void of silence.
"There you two are you guys okay"? Blaze asks
"Yeah we're fine just had to talk about stuff". Silver answers
"Well okay, come inside when you're ready".
Blaze goes back in the house and Silver looks back at Skylar.
"Ready to go back in"? He asks
"Yeah, and Silver"?
"Yeah"?
"If you ever need a friend to talk to let me know".
"T...thanks Skylar".
They both hug for a belief moment and smile then head back inside holding hands together.
