Landon's POV:
I walked into Angel's Laundry Matt, and nodded at Angel. She rushed over to my side, with a whole bunch of papers.
"Agent Wyoming, I got a phone call," She said, and walked beside me, as we walked to the Manager's office. We walked inside, and over to a window.
"Wow, a phone call." I smirked, and she rolled her eyes. I opened the window, and we climbed through it. We weren't outside, no. That was a hologram. It was an entrance to our secret facility.
"Not like that! It was from the Director." She said, as we walked into a huge area with other agent's everywhere. Brianna joined us, as we all walked towards my office.
"The Director? As in the Director of Project Freelancer?" I raised an eyebrow, and looked at Angel. She nodded, looking all serious. Yep, that's our boss.
"Indeed, Agent. He said he wants us to bring Skylar in now to train her." Angel said. Brianna looked confused.
"But wait... wouldn't you tell us when to bring in Skylar, and not the Director?" Brianna questioned.
"Good question Agent South. Except I made a deal with the Director. Bring in the Roberts's daughter, and get her to fight the Freelancers with both of you." Angel said, as we entered a long hallway, that led to my office.
"But why would you make a deal with the Director? And why that?" I asked, not getting her plan. She smirked, and didn't look at me. She just looked straight.
"Because, the Director knows that once she's in, she'll go looking for her parents." Angel answered.
"But... that doesn't make any sense." Brianna said. Angels smirk got bigger.
"It will soon, Agent South. It will very soon..."
2 DAYS LATER, ITS FRIDAY
Skylar's POV:
Ugh. School.
Speaking of school, Brianna, Alex and Alexa have been acting strange... whenever Alexa or Alex wants to be alone with me, Brianna always somehow wrecks it.
It's getting kind of annoying.
Anyway, I was talking to Josh at my locker. He smiled at me, as I told him a funny story about Alexa.
"Wow... I cannot believe you two would lock the janitor in his own closet!" He laughed out loud. I smiled and closed my locker. I turned, and leaned against it. I saw Jayden coming through the crowd. He was talking to some people, and "man hugging" some of the guys. I watched him, until Josh said my name.
"Hm?" I asked as I looked over at him.
"Wanna come to my house tonight so we can just... chill or something?" He repeated. I grinned and then noticed Jayden walking up to us.
"Sure, sounds like fun." I smiled and Josh did too. Jayden looked at me.
"What sounds like fun?" Jayden asked. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
"Going to Josh's house," I answered. Jayden nodded, and looked at Josh. Suddenly, Brianna appeared by Jayden's side. She glared at Josh.
"Josh, Skylar is not going to your house." Brianna said, still glaring at him. Josh smirked.
"Why not?" He questioned her. She grabbed his arm, and dragged him away. They started yelling at each other. First Alex and Alexa, now Josh? Who next? Landon and Jayden?
I sighed and looked at Jayden. He was laughing at Josh being dragged away.
"Brothers and sisters... what're you gonna do about them?" He smiled, and looked at me. I was confused.
"I don't get it... Brianna keeps taking away my friends. First Alex and Alexa, now Josh." I frowned sadly.
"Aw, it's okay. You got me!" Jayden exclaimed, and slug an arm around my shoulder. She smiled, and I looked at him with a glare.
"That doesn't help." I said, and shoved his arm off me. I started walking away, and he followed me. I walked into the cafeteria, since it was lunch. I sat at a table, and Jayden sat across from me, at the same table.
All of a sudden, Alex and Alexa sat beside me. One on each of my sides. I smiled at them, and they replied it.
"Hey guys!" I said, happily. And then I saw Brianna coming to our table. My eyes widened. "Hurry go hide! She's gonna take you guys!" I exclaimed. They nodded, and stood up, when a hand landed on Alexa's shoulder, and Alex's shoulder.
Everyone looked at who it was. Landon.
Landon smiled at Alex and Alexa. "Hey my friends! Let's go talk." He dragged them away, and I frowned sadly. Brianna came over, smiling.
"Hey Skylar, Jayden!" She said, a bit too enthusiastic. I stood up, angrily, and glared at her.
"Okay Brianna, I don't know what the heck you're planning, but cut it out! I'd just like to have my friends back! So quit taking them away, or else I will... Uh... Um... Hurt you!" I said, and continued glaring at her. Brianna smirked, and came close to my face.
"You think you can hurt me? Never. I'm pro. And when you join, maybe you'll be good. Just maybe. But no has ever beaten me." She muttered, and spun around, flipping her hair. She walked away, to her table.
I was speechless. I looked at Jayden, who looked confused. I probably looked confused too.
"I have no idea what she meant by that." I said, and sat back down.
"Me either." He answered, and took out a brown, paper bag. He started pulling stuff out of it.
He pulled out 2 apples, an orange, a sandwich, a thermos with soup in it, a bagel, a juice box, a piece of moldy cheese and a...
"Is that a sub?" I yelled, as Jayden pulled out a long sandwich. He smiled, and put it on the table.
"Yep!" He answered. My eyes widened and he laughed.
"Hungry?"
"Heck yeah!"
We both dug in.
I had an apple, the thermos with soup in it, the juice box, and we split the orange and sub. He had the other apple, the sandwich, the bagel, the other half of the orange and the sub and he ate the moldy cheese...
Hah, just kiddin'.
He belched, and rubbed his stomach for effect. I just laughed.
"Well, that was a huge lunch." I put my elbows on the table, and held my head up. He smiled.
"It was!" He agreed. I chuckled.
"How'd you even fit all that in this small paper bag?" I took the paper bag and held it up. He shrugged.
"Magic." He answered. We both paused, and then burst out laughing.
"Magic? Yeah right! Sorry Selena Gomez!" We continued laughing.
"So now you owe me! I bought all that. You pay back." He said with a perverted smirk. I raised both my eyebrows.
"Oh yeah? Well what would you like?" I asked. He pretended to think.
"Hmm... A sleepover!" He exclaimed, and stood up. I laughed.
"No, seriously. Thanks for the food. Name something; I'll give it to yeah." I said. He came over, and sat beside me. He put his arm around my shoulders... again.
"I'm being serious! Just think. Us friends, having a sleepover! And a slumber party! Doesn't it sound fun?" He smiled, and looked at me. I grinned and rolled my eyes.
"You sound more feminine then I do myself!" I exclaimed. He laughed. I then noticed Landon was standing there.
"Hey Landon! Want to come to our sleepover?" Jayden asked. Landon raised an eyebrow and shook his head. I giggled.
"I'm pretty sure you're the only guy, Jayden that likes slumber parties." I commented. He shrugged.
"Oh well! Just think. Pink streamers... balloons... sleeping bags, and oh! You plan what we can do tonight, and I'll go get my slumber party decorations! And we can decorate! How great is this gonna be? I'll go get my wall paper, and Sky, you start thinking about paint colors." He yelled, jumped up, and ran away. I watched him run away and me and Landon both groaned.
"Oh great... I think I'm regretting this already." We both said. We looked at each other, me with a weirded out look, and he just walked away.
That night, at Skylar's house.
I was sitting on my bed, in my room, on my laptop. I was searching up something that Jayden wanted me to search. It was... I actually have no idea.
I sighed, as I gave up and closed my laptop.
Suddenly, my window opened and Jayden's face peeked in.
"Hello!" He exclaimed, and climbed in. I rolled my eyes.
"Hello, Jayden." I said. He came over to my bed, and started jumping on it.
"Come on! Lets partaayyy!" He yelled and jumped off my bed. He ran out of my room, cheering, and screaming. I sighed at got up. I walked downstairs, hearing him singing "Teenage dream".
I followed his voice, into the bathroom, where he was...
"Why are you putting makeup on?" I shrieked, terrified by him putting red lipstick on his cheek. He looked at me with a cheesy grin.
"Because I look pretty!" He answered. I stared at him, with wide eyes.
"Uh... you feeling alright there, Jayden?" I put a hand on his forehead. He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, whatever let's just go to bed now. I'm tired." He said, and walked upstairs. I walked into the kitchen and got a drink of water. When I walked into my room, he was asleep on the ground already.
I flicked off the light, and jumped into bed. I soon fell asleep, my mind thinking about Brianna...
The next morning...
I woke up, but was way too tired to get up and do something. I rolled over, my eyes still closed.
I heard someone snoring in front of me, so I opened my eyes. I found Jayden's sleeping face. I screamed, and pushed him off the bed. He fell on the ground with a groan.
I looked over the edge of my bed.
"Why were you in my bed?" I yelled, terrified and a tad bit angry. He blinked at me.
"I was in your bed...?" He asked slowly. I nodded slowly.
"Yeeaahhh! You were! So, explain. Now!" I yelled, again. He stared at me for awhile.
"Umm... I honestly don't know... I think I slept walk." He said. I rolled my eyes, and got out of bed.
"Yeah, right." I growled. He followed me out of my room, and downstairs by the door. I crossed my arms, angry that he would lie to me.
"I'm serious Sky!" He argued. I spun around, un crossing my arms. I glared at him,
"You are not allowed to call me that. Actually, do not call me anything! Leave now." I opened the door, and he looked at it. He looked back at me.
"Skylar, what did I do?" He asked. I glared at him again.
"You lied to me! You did most defiantly NOT sleep walk into my bed!" I spat in his face. He looked offended, but then recovered.
"You think I would lie to you? So your saying you don't believe me?" He yelled back. I stayed quiet, as my glare slowly went away. He snorted with a chuckle, and shook his head. He walked out of my house, and I stood in the doorway.
"Forget it! Some friend you are!" He yelled back at me, as he walked down my drive way, to his car. I felt my jaw clench angrily.
"We were never even friends!" I commented. He turned back to me, at his car.
"In my mind we were! Maybe not to you, but to me we were friends. In grade 6, you had no partner, and would've looked stupid if it weren't for me! But I stepped in, and you know what? You'll always look stupid no matter how many times I'll save your butt! All WAYS!" He yelled, and then got into his car. He slammed the door, and sped off.
I watched with tears in my eyes. He was right. I'll always look stupid and be stupid.
I walked back into my house, and closed the door behind me. I ran up to my room, and jumped on my bed. I hugged my pillow, and cried into it.
"I miss mom and dad! I miss my family!" I cried, and dug my face more into the pillow.
My life was a terrible mess. No family, no friends...
And no life.
Brianna's POV:
I watched Skylar cry into her pillow, from her window. I'm surprised she hasn't seen me yet.
I took out my cell phone, and dialled Angel's number.
"Hello, Angel's Laundry Matt, how may I help you?" Angel's sweet voice was once again heard.
"Hey, it's Brianna," I answered. I heard Angel clear her voice.
"Hello Agent South. Anything new?" She asked, sounding all serious now. I continued to watch Skylar. She got up from her bed, and walked over to her desk. She grabbed a key off the desk, and opened a drawer.
In the drawer, she pulled out a box. It looked like a normal shoe box...
She put the key in a hole in the bottom, and turned it. She then took off the lid, and took out a...
"Diary?" I yelled my eyes wide. Skylar would be the last person I'd guess to have a diary! Skylar looked around her room, and I ducked on the window edge.
"Agent South? What's going on?" Angel asked. I peeked over the edge, and saw she wrote something in the diary. She put everything away, and left the room.
"Something new. Skylar has a diary." I said, and heard a car start. I looked at the front of the house, and saw her car pull out, and then go the other way.
"Great work, Agent South. Anyway inside the house?" She asked. I tried opening the window, and surprisingly, it opened. I climbed in.
"I'm in," I answered. I started looking around.
"Good. Get the diary."
I nodded, and walked over to the dresser. I got the key, and opened the drawer. I pulled out the box, and unlocked it on the bottom. I pulled out the diary, and opened it.
"She's had it since... she was 9." I said, and flipped through it.
"Age 9? That doesn't make sense." Angel said, and I heard her typing on her computer. I read one of her entries. The first entry.
"But it does. She was 9 when she got her diary. She was 9 when she made her first entry. She was nine when..." I froze, still reading her diary.
"When...?" Angel asked. I blinked at the diary. "Agent South?"
"She was nine when... her parents died..." I said. I heard the typing stop, and then, I heard a car engine.
I looked out the window, and saw a car pull in the driveway. I closed the box, and put in back in the drawer. I put the key back on the dresser, and took the diary with me.
I climbed out the window, and shut it closed. It wasn't completely closed though.
I climbed down, and waited till she got in the house.
"Agent South, what's going on?" Angel asked. I backed up from the side of the house, and tried to see into the window.
"Where is it, Alexa?"
"I swear it was in here, but it's gone!"
"Alexa... don't lie."
"I'm not, Alex!"
"Fine, but if it's not back by Monday, Skylar is dead."
I let Angel hear the whole conversation. I hid in some bushes in the front garden. I saw Alex and Alexa walk out, and then lock the door. They put the key under the little rug on the ground, and they got in the car and left.
I stood up, and started walking away, with the diary in hand.
"Angel, we need to bring Skylar in. As soon as possible," I said.
