Part VI
As soon as the school was over, Sky stormed out of his classroom. John met him on the way and yelled to his back, "You better not ditch today!!!!!!" Sky ran as fast as he could. The path to the pine tree at the south gate seemed so long and tiring but he finally arrived. To his surprise, no on was there yet. "Hmm, I think I'll wait for a moment." he tried fix his hair but it was still all over the place. He was whistling, checking his watch, doing everything he can think of to kill some time. Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around with a big smile on his face. She's here!!! "Hello, Sky." it was Melissa standing there. Sky's smile faded away. He was kind of annoyed and disappointed because someone he was waiting for wasn't there. "Oh, yeah. Hel.hello. Do I know you?" Sky tried to remember where he met her but he couldn't think straight. "Umm, I would assume so," replied Melissa, "since you are out here which implies that you read my letter and agreed to be my date at the dance this weekend." she smiled shyly. "Letter? What letter?" Sky had no idea what she was talking about. "You know.the letter Tallie gave you at school today." Sky gasped. His head was spinning fast. Ahhh!!!! What had he done? He didn't even see the name that was written on the letter. This has to be a misunderstanding.there's no way he's going to take this girl to the dance. "So.you'll be my date, right?" Melissa was unsure so she wanted to confirm it. Sky was so sure that he wanted to turn her down, but he was too kind- hearted to do that. He didn't want to make her all cry and stuff, so he agreed. "Okay, I guess. But I won't be able to spend a lot of time with me 'cause I have to wrestle." "Oh, that's no problem. Thank you!" Melissa was very exited now; she hopped away like a bunny.
Sky was disappointed now. He felt disheartened. A mixture of emotions came through his mind. He wanted to sit down and cry but he didn't even have the energy to do so. It was 4 o'clock already, when the practice would start. He knew John told him not to ditch the practice today, for they had to wrestle in a few days. Yet he started heading back to his own home. Who cares, John can kill him later, he thought.
John, Tommy, and Rick were really angry that Skyler ditched practice again. It was 4:30 and he still hadn't showed up! They tried calling him but he wasn't home. "John, are you sure you told him to come today?" asked Tommy. "What you mean, am I sure? He knows that practice starts at four every single freaking day! We get no days off, if that idiot hasn't realized it yet!" annoyed, John snapped back. "Forget about it. You guys can stay here and practice, I'll go look for him." John got up and put his jacket on. "All right. Just don't kill him too much! He still needs to practice." laughed Tommy. John stepped out of the room, trying to think of where Sky might be.
Sky arrived home. He saw his dad's shoes.he must be home. But Sky wasn't happy at all. His dad was away frequently, and he knew why. Sky's dad was planning a separation from the family. His parents didn't get along very well. He sighed and went upstairs to his room. Soon he could hear his parents arguing. He lied on his bed, with his ears covered with a pillow. He wished it'd stop; it was such a happy family, he didn't know when it started to go wrong. He pretended to be goofy and happy at school but inside, he was crying. He needed someone right this moment, he couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't talk to John; John must be mad because he ditched practice again. But he needed someone. All he could think of was Tallie. He picked up the phone and started dialing
Ring~~~~~~~Ring~~~~~~~~ Tallie was about to start her homework when the phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello?" "Hi." The voice on the other side sounded quite familiar but for a second she couldn't recognize it. "Uh.may I ask who this is?" questioned Tallie carefully. "Why, you don't even know my voice? Sky." "Oh, okay. What's up?" Tallie was a bit annoyed. Why was he calling her? "Umm, I need to talk to you." "You talking to me right now, aren't you?" said Tallie coldly. "Naw, I mean.can I meet you outside? Its' kinda important.at the playground, if you can." Tallie was now curious. It must be pretty important and he sounded quite serious. Serious=Sky: the two words usually didn't go together so it must be something. So she agreed. "All right. Sure."
