Thank you so much for all the reviews! I didn't know that this story would received that well. So, I hope you enjoy reading this chapter for the ghost of Christmas Past. Also, the ghost of Christmas Past will be Skylar Charleston. If you don't know who she is, Skylar is Gina Maxwell's own character from her story called The Academy. Gina will be writing the Skylar's POV and, there will be a notation when, it's her portion of the story she has written. I hope you enjoy this little treat, I'm honored to work with Gina Maxwell and hope if you haven't read her writing(Which you should) that you enjoy it as much as I do. Just for further explanation Skylar is Chad's cousin.
Disclaimer:I do not own SWAC and Skylar isn't my own character.
My POV
Once the teen actor got to his room, he couldn't help stare at the photo of Sonny Munroe laying on his dresser. Was it creepy to keep a photo of your sworn enemy on your dresser? Chad knew the answer to that which, is why on the front of the photo frame a family photo hid the picture of Sonny. Though, he didn't want to admit it to his self or the entire world for a matter of fact, he liked the young comedian a lot. Chad sighed once again and slid the picture of his family and him over it. We all don't get everything we want, not even Mr. Chad Dylan Cooper. The thing Chad couldn't seem to understand was, why did the thing he wanted the most have to be the thing he didn't get it?
Hey guys, it's Gina Maxwell! Remember me, that annoying Beta that Amber has? LOL, well, I'm back! And so is Skylar, Chad's cousin from A Tale of Two Matchmakers and my story, The Academy! So enjoy the second chapter, and I'll see you soon!
"Chad."
"Mom, go away."
"Chad."
"MOM, I'M TRYING TO SLEEP."
I sighed and jerked him out of bed. He landed a heap in the floor. "What was that for?" He groaned, with his face still on the floor.
"Chad, get the hell off the floor. Now."
Chad bolted up and stared up at me.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" He shouted with a look of terror frozen on his face.
"To show you what you're missing in life." I said, crossing my arms.
"HOW DID YOU GET INTO MY HOUSE?"
"Chad, I'm the ghost of Christmas past." I said.
"No, you're my cousin Skylar!" He said.
"Actually no. I'm seriously the ghost of Christmas past. Skylar happens to be in Brooklyn right now."
"Well, why do you look like her?"
"We tend to shape shift into people who either influence your life in a large way or into people who scare the shit out of them."
"Well, then you are very accurate." Chad said.
"You're coming with me." I said, grabbing his shoulder.
"Why?"
"BECAUSE YOU ARE A SELFISH SON-OF-A-BITCH WHO NEEDS TO GET A GRIP ON REALITY!" I yelled.
"You can't take me with you!" He yelled back.
"Too late." I said, and the room suddenly changed. We were in a large room with dozens of kids running around. I pointed in the direction of the large Christmas tree in the middle of the room and Chad and I floated over.
Little Skylar and Chad stood, staring at the big glass bulbs hanging on the tree. They must have been at least 6. "Isn't it beautiful?" Skylar breathed, running her finger over them.
"Yes I am." Chad said, flicking his hair out of his eyes. Unlike Skylar, he was staring at his reflection in the bulbs.
Skylar crossed her arms. "Chad, I can't believe you!"
"Why?"
"Because, you're so self-conceited." She cried.
"English please?"
Skylar just stamped her foot and left.
I snapped my fingers and the room swirled around us. When we stopped, I saw we were outside of a grocery store. I looked over at the big countdown in the stores window; there were 2 days until Christmas morning.
Little Skylar wandered out of the store, followed by little Chad, who was busily chatting to the two moms, their arms loaded with groceries. "Oh and I also want…" I heard Chad say.
Little Skylar grabbed one of the grocery bags from the mom's arms. "Mommy, if I help you, can I donate some money to the Red Cross?" She asked, pointing the lone man ringing a bell.
Her mom smiled. "Of course honey." She set the bags down in the trunk of her car and then dug through her wallet. She handed Skylar the money. Skylar began to skip toward the donations, but was stopped by Chad.
"I'll be taking this." He said, grabbing the money from her hand.
"What?" Skylar shrieked.
"Yeah. You're in debt to me, and this ought to cover about, mmmhhh, half of it." He sneered.
Skylar grabbed the money from him and skipped over to the donations. The man smiled as she put it in. "Thank you." He said. Skylar smiled and skipped back.
I turned to Chad. "Did you see that? LOOK HOW SELFISH YOU'RE BEING!" I said.
"Alright, I've made some mistakes," He smirked, "But I can change."
I crossed my arms. "Oh, you may say that. But you my friend are going to visited by 2 more ghosts. And if you're mind isn't changed by the end of tonight, something's going to happen to Sonny."
Chad's face turned pale. "WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO HER?" He shouted.
The parking lot of the grocery store started to disappear. I smiled. "Good luck Chad." I whispered.
And then Chad started to fall.
