Chapter 8

Sky was almost late to her next class but she slipped in the door just as the bell was ringing. She grabbed the first empty seat she found and sat down. She glanced around and noticed that Caleb was sitting on the other side of the room with Reid. Sky sighed and shook her head.

"Guy problems," the girl seated next to Sky asked.

"You could say that," Sky replied. "Skylar Brian, but everyone calls me Sky."

"We also call you the girl who gave Aaron Abbott the black eye," the girl said impressed. "Sarah Wenham my boyfriend Caleb told me about the fight. You ok?"

"I'll be fine," Sky said quickly. "How long have you and Caleb been together?"

"Three months," Sarah said with a smile. "What about you? What's with all the sighing?"

"I just broke up with my boyfriend, if you can even call him that," Sky explained.

"Hmm what happened? If you don't mind me asking," Sarah asked.

"He was a crappy boyfriend, he also cheated on me," Sky replied. "It's my own fault though, I knew he was all wrong for me. Just couldn't resist the draw of the bad boy."

"I know how that is," Sarah said quickly. "My roommate Kate just broke up with her boyfriend for another guy. He's not even giving her the time of day. She's pretty sure he's hung up on someone else."

"Kate Tunney," Sky asked.

"Yeah, how'd you know," Sarah said in surprise.

"Spenser gossip mill, you hear everything even if you don't want to," Sky said quickly. She glanced over at Reid.

This is stupid, I can't believe I am freaking out over a break-up. I'm Reid Garwin this doesn't happen to me!

Skylar visibly tensed when she heard Reid the first time. Skylar's grip tightened around her pen as Reid babbled about wanting her back.

She was right though, I was cheating on her. Like an idiot, I should have told her how much she meant to me, maybe I wouldn't have lost her if she knew.

Skylar flinched slightly and shut her eyes. She focused on the connection between her mind and Reid's, not understanding why she could hear him. The only person she ever heard was Austin.

We've got a problem, Sky thought.

Are you ok, Austin thought urgently.

I can hear Reid now, like I hear you, Skylar replied.

That's not possible Sky, he's not like us, Austin thought.

Maybe it's because of our connection to one another. He wants me back Austin. What am I going to do, Sky thought desperately. She knew they would never work but she didn't think she could resist Reid for very long.

You want me to handle it, Austin asked with a smirk.

No, I'll come up with something, Sky replied before disconnecting from him. She glanced in Reid's direction.

Sky jumped when a hand waved in front of her face. She turned to Sarah who was sitting in her seat looking at her expectantly.

"You still with me Sky," Sarah asked.

"Yeah, sorry I zoned out for a minute there," Sky explained.

Sarah glanced over at Caleb and Reid and smiled slightly. "Yeah you zoned out. You sure you weren't checking out Reid Garwin," Sarah asked.

"Trust me, he's not my type," Sky replied. "Remember, bad experience with a bad boy. Reid oozes bad boy." Sarah nodded silently as the professor called the class to attention.

"You're right but if you don't like bad boys I know the perfect guy for you," Sarah whispered with a mischievous grin.

"So, I think you should have lunch with me," Sarah once class had ended.

"Um, ok," Sky said slowly. "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you planning something?"

"You'll see," Sarah said quickly. Sarah led the way out into the hallway where Caleb joined them. "Caleb you already know Sky right?"

"Yeah, we met this morning. Your father was a delight," Caleb said sarcastically.

"What did he say to you," Sky said in embarrassment.

"Your dad's new money isn't he," Caleb asked.

"Yeah he just inherited it from his dad," Sky explained.

"I can tell," Caleb replied easily. He held the door to the cafeteria open for Sarah and Sky. They joined the line and got food joking around as they went.

"We sit over there," Sarah said leading Sky to the table. "You've already met the rest of the guys haven't you?"

"Yeah, hey Pogue. Tyler," Sky said easily. She settled into the seat next to Pogue nervously. A tray slammed down next to her causing her to jump in her seat.

"Sorry Sky," Austin said as he sat down next to her.

"It's cool," she replied.

"So, Sky tell me about the boy," Sarah ordered. Everyone glanced at Sky curiously waiting for her to speak.

"It's not a big deal," Sky said quickly.

"Ok you have to talk because I am so tired of listening to these guys talk about cars and swimming," Sarah pleaded.

Sky sighed slightly and glanced toward the door. Her gaze caught the ice blue one of Reid as he walked in. She quickly glanced away from him. "Um, we met at a party over the summer," Sky started to say. "We started dating shortly after that, but we didn't tell anyone. We were going to different schools and he had a reputation. I didn't want to be another notch in his bedpost."

"Apparently that's all you were though," Reid said as he sat down.

"Reid," Sarah said angrily. She hit him on the arm and shot an apologetic look at Sky. "Reid isn't known for his sensitivity."

"All I'm saying is that if you had really meant something to him you would still be together. Unless you're the one that broke it off," Reid said examining Sky closely. "Maybe you're just a tease, but I wouldn't worry to much about that baby. I'm sure I can fix that for you."

"Go to hell," Sky said as she stood up. "The most important person in his life was always himself. He didn't give a damn about me until it was through. Do me a favor and stay far away from me unless you want a black eye like Aaron."

Sky grabbed her bag and stormed angrily out of the cafeteria. She spun around when she felt someone grab her arm. She was prepared to hit the person thinking it was Reid.

"Hey," Tyler said softly. "I wanted to make sure you were ok."

Sky lowered her hand and her lip quivered. "I'm fine," Sky croaked. She had been doing so well. She hadn't let the breakup affect her. Now she in the hallway of her new school about to burst into tears in front of a boy she barely knows.

"You don't look fine," Tyler pointed out. "Come on, I know somewhere we can go." Tyler held out his hand and waited for Sky to take it.

She nodded slowly before taking his hand. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see," Tyler said leading her out of the school.
