Boyd waited at the general store, sipping a chocolate milkshake. On the table in front of him was a red rose that he hoped Sky would accept. "So who's the flower for then Boyd?" Declared Harold from the store counter. "It's for Sky." He replied eagerly. As Boyd finished his last sip of milkshake, Sky walked into the store. 'She looks stunning' Boyd thought to himself. "Sky your shift doesn't start until another hour, why don't you two go outside and get some fresh air, it's a lovely day..." "No." interrupted Sky, "This should only take a minute." Sky looked at Boyd. She had a weary look on her face, but remained strong, arms crossed and sitting upright. They began with small chit chat, things like the weather, how Summer was going at her new school. Things seemed to be going well until Sky had had enough of the small talk. "Okay Boyd, what's going on?" Boyd was speechless, he knew what he needed to say, but she had put him on the spot. "Look you've been ignoring me for ages, I hardly see you around school, and now I'm supposed pretend like everything's alright again? Tell me why you really wanted to catch up with me?" Boyd remained silent. "I'm waiting!" exclaimed Sky. "Okay, you really want to know why I wanted to see you. Alright, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of you and Dylan parading around, I hate seeing you with another guy, okay..." Sky sat there stunned and speechless. Boyd paused for a minute, and said three small words that no one was expecting." I like you!" The words seemed to just poor out of Boyd's mouth, he seemed to be digging himself into a deeper hole. This was all too much for Sky; there was utter silence for what seemed to be an eternity. "I have to go..." said Sky quietly. And with that moment, she stood up and walked out of the general store.
A distressed Sky sat down on a nearby park bench. She wiped the tears away from her eyes. She couldn't understand why the boy she once dated was jealous of her new found love with Dylan. She loved Dylan so much, he treated her so well, but deep down inside she knew better, she knew she still had feelings for Boyd, after all, he was her first love. Stingray, who was on his 'Speed freaks' shift, approached Sky and sat down beside her, "Sky?" he, asked shyly, "Are you alright?" Sky wiped the tears away from her cheeks, and glanced up at Stingray. "It's Boyd..." She replied softly. "What has he done now?" "He still has feelings for me..." Sky replied softly. "He's such a cake taker", Stingray explained, "But it's nothing to become upset about, I mean it's not like you still have feelings for him right?" There was a moment of silence, Sky tried to avoid the question, but she couldn't hide what she was really feeling. "Right?" he asked again, now concerned. "I never asked Boyd to break up with me, and then I met Dylan, I love him so much its just...sometimes I still wonder what things would be like if I was with Boyd." "But Dylan loves you..." explained Stingray. "Don't tell Dylan please!" sobbed Sky. "I need to tell him this myself."
Sky sat in her lounge room glued to the television, she hugged her pillow, and fiddled with her hair. Serena noticed her cousin was acting strangely, she had hardly touched her dinner, and was acting more quiet than usual. Serena walked up to Sky and collapsed on the couch next to her. "Okay what's up?" "Nothing" replied sky. Serena grabbed the remote control off her cousin and pressed her with further questions. "Common, you've been acting strangely all day, you can tell me what's wrong, that's what I'm here for." "Well it's this...friend of mine. See she's going out with this really awesome guy, but at the same time she's not sure whether she has feelings for her ex boyfriend, who dumped her." Sky explained. Serena looked at Sky suspiciously. "Common don't play that trick on me, I can see right through you, you still have feelings for Boyd." "Shhh!" Sky hesitated. "Look what should I do?" "if it were me, I'd stick with Dylan, he treats you so well, and as for Boyd, lets just say his head has been in the clouds lately, I mean remember, he was going to be a father to Ashley and raise a family with that girl, I'd honestly forget about it." Sky sat there and pondered over her cousin's advice, whether she liked it or not, Dylan had to hear it from her first, the last thing she wanted was for Dylan to find out some other way.
