So...hi again!? Please do not kill me for not updating! I've been caught up in a lot of school work recently so yah...that's my excuse...XD But anyway sorry again and here's Chapter 11 - Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT CHARACTERS, THEY ALL BELONG TO THE AUTHOR DEREK LANDY, I ONLY OWN LENKA CRAZED AND THE PLOT!
Valkyrie's POV
I sighed, running my fingers through my black hair. Suddenly there was a knock at my door - well a few knocks... My heart beat sped up considerably as I got up from my lying down position on my new bed and once again my thoughts drifted back to those emerald eyes, the ones that were probably going to greet me as I opened the door.
I couldn't stop the wide smile that spread across my face as I twisted the handle and opened it towards me.
My face immediately drooped when I realised it was Lenka.
"Wow. You sure look happy to see me don't you?" The orange haired girl said sarcastically but with a grin.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently, trying to remain my look of indifference.
Lenka smirked, "You know what Val, doesn't matter. I understand." My face heated up and I could feel the blush blossoming on my cheeks. Did she know about my feelings towards Skulduggery? Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. Before she could say anything else I yanked her harshly by the arm into my room and slammed the door behind her. She had a perplexed look on her face as I pressed my back against the door and slid down it.
"What do you understand?" I said urgently, harsher than I intended. She raised an eyebrow.
"Are you actually serious right now? You totally like him!"
"Him?" I said innocently, trying to calm my blush down.
"Yes him," She said, with another goddamn smirk, "The him that goes by the name of Skulduggery Pleasant."
Fudge.
"What the hell are you talking about?! Are you crazy! ME like HIM?! Course not!" I exclaimed, trying to stop my voice from raising too much, I mean Skul was literally still in the apartment.
Lenka shook her head sadly as if she was ashamed at me or something, "If only you could see what I see in you two." I blushed even harder - if that was possible.
"Dude, you okay? You look like a tomato."
"Shutup." I answered with a glare.
Lenka sighed, "You're so stubborn," She murmured earning another glare from me, "But anyway I've got your suitcase, that's why I came here actually." A small thankful smile etched itself onto my face as she opened my room door and rolled my suitcase in. I almost squealed with happiness that I had almost all of my stuff - most of all, I wouldn't have to wear the practical rags that all the other girls were wearing. Well, except from Lenka of course.
She was actually wearing some black baggy tracksuit bottoms and a light pink fluffy jumper that looked extremely comfortable as well as some plain black flats. So overall, I shouldn't be getting too many weird looks by wearing my own normal clothes as Lenka probably wears them everyday.
"Thanks." I said with a light smile whilst unzipping it and placing it on the floor.
"You're welcome, oh and by the way, you might want to get dressed, we're going to the market and everyone else has gone except from Skulduggery," She specifically paused there with a smirk which I narrowed my eyes at, "So make sure you're quick."
I sighed, "You know the whole thing about liking him?" I asked her as she nodded. Here goes nothing, "I think I do." I waited for her amused laugh or gasp, or at least a shocked expression - but no, nothing just a small smile on her face
Suddenly she squealed like super super high pitched, so naturally, I jumped three foot in the air and landed on my bed. When she finally shutup, I put both of my hands over my heart breathing deeply at my almost heart attack! I was sitting up on my bed when Skulduggery burst into the room, a worried look in his gorgeous eyes.
My heart literally flipped.
"Are you guys okay?!" He shouted with concern but only keeping his eyes trained on me, I managed not to let the heat rise to my face, just barely.
I shook my head quickly and gulped, "I literally just had a bloody heart attack because Lenka here decided to screech like a bloody chipmunk on helium." I said breathing heavily and shutting my eyes, I could hear Skul's deep chuckle from beside me and I quickly turned around to where he was sitting next to me on my bed. I glanced at Lenka who's smile had widened. I cleared my throat and that's when it hit me.
"WAIT!" I yelled making Skul jump as well as Lenka, the teenager next to me rubbed his temples with his fingertips.
"Can we please stop with the shouting?" He whined and I almost giggled at how adorable it was.
"Sorry Skul." I said with a grin, he moved his head up to look at me but I looked away before we could make eye contact.
"D-do you think that I could maybe, possibly, call someone via phone from the future?" I asked, excitement in my eyes, Lenka paused for a moment as if she was thinking and I could see that Skulduggery was still looking at me in the corner of my eye. I looked back at him and smiled, he smiled back.
"Possibly?" Lenka replied.
I sighed, "Wouldn't hurt to try." I jumped off of the bed, already missing the feeling of Skulduggery sitting next to me and crawled over to my suitcase, taking my phone out of the pocket on the inside. I powered on my iPhone 7 - black of course, whilst the adrenaline and hope rushed through my veins.
