MAYHEM
NOTE: If I owned any of these Angel characters then the world would be a much better place.
A/N: I'm so sorry that this new Skylar story took so long to get up. It wasn't my fault. I blame my sister. She's a lame. Anyway, here it is now.
CHAPTER 2Skylar entered the girl's bathroom at school that afternoon. A couple of other girls from her class were in there washing their hands. A blonde haired girl with pigtails turned around and looked at Skylar. Her friend had black hair.
"What are you doing in here?" the pig tailed girl asked.
"Using the bathroom," Skylar replied as if they should already know that.
"Using the bathroom," the girl with black hair mocked.
Skylar formed a grimace and rolled her eyes. "You're stupid." With that she headed towards a stall.
"Have you ever seen that girl's dad before?" the girl with pigtails asked.
"No. He never comes outside. He's weird."
"Skylar's whole family is weird. Her brother is funny looking. He's really skinny."
Skylar listened to them from the stall as she used the bathroom. She exited the stall after using it and stomped out in front of the girls.
"Hey, Ashley," Skylar said to the girl with pigtails. Ashley looked at her. "Look what's in the stall."
"What?" Ashley asked snootily.
Ashley and her friend went into the stall, their backs turned. That's when Skylar softly called "Kevin." The young boy appeared right next to his friend. Skylar beamed when she saw him.
"What's wrong?" Kevin asked.
Skylar whispered something into Kevin's ear, which caused him to form a mischievous smile. He suddenly shoved Ashley's friend into her, causing Ashley to fall head first into the toilet. Ashley pulled her wet head from the bowl with a horrified look on her face. Toilet water was all in her hair, and it ran all down her face.
"Gross," her friend said with a frown on her face.
All Skylar and Kevin could do was burst into laughter.
In the hallways at the high school Dawn sat in a private area of the library, as she was studying for a test in Algebra. A sudden chill formed over her. She felt as if someone had let open a window in December. Dawn rubbed her arms letting her body heat warm them. That's when she heard heavy breathing coming towards her. Dawn quickly looked behind her and saw Richard with a sweat-covered face.
Dawn released a sigh of relief.
"Oh, sorry, Dawn," said Richard, taking a seat next to her. "I just did ten laps around the gym. Plus I have basketball practice later."
"Um, it's OK. So where have you been lately?" asked Dawn.
"My dad. He's been making me take on these jobs. So how have you been?"
"Oh, I'm good. You know, studying and all."
Richard nodded.
The two of them sat in complete silence for nearly two minutes.
"Well," said Dawn, finally breaking the quiet. "I better go finish studying." She gathered her books and stood from the table.
"Wait. Are we still on for tomorrow?" Richard asked.
"Oh, yeah," said Dawn. "Sure." She practically rushed out of the library barely saying goodbye.
As Dawn ran out she crashed into someone, causing her algebra books to fall, plus three that did not belong to her. Dawn looked at the owner of the other books. It was Beth.
"Oh, hey, B," said Dawn.
"Dawn, hey," said Beth, lifting up the three books that were her's. "What's with the rush?"
"Studying. I have a test after spring break."
"Don't talk to me about studying," said Beth, pushing back a strand of hair from her face, behind her ear. Beth's black hair and green eyes really showed how pasty her skin was. Plus she dressed in mostly dark colors as if she were a female version of Angel. "My parents are completely on my case about the D I got in biology. Science is a waste."
"Hold on. What's that on your stomach?" Dawn asked.
Beth looked down at her black midriff. A skull tatoo covered one side of her stomach. Beth also wore a skull shaped nose ring.
"OK. So I got a tatoo. It's another thing my parents are freaking out over. All they know to do is boss me around," said Beth. "You're lucky you don't live with your folks."
"Yeah, lucky me," Dawn murmured, thinking of her deceased mother and the father she had not seen in months.
"The human body is like this blank tapestry," said Beth. "It's our job to make it... well, filled. And I think I'm doing my job just fine." She started to walk down the hall. "See you, Dawn."
"OK," said Dawn, not quite understanding what she meant. "See you."
A/N: All right, guys. As some of you can plainly see, my muse is lacking. So could you please give me some ideas?
