Chapter 9 Good News

CHAPTER NINE:  Good News

S K Y L E R

When i reached school, my neck was barely straight. Falling asleep on the couch wasn't the greatest idea, but I totally didn't even know i slept on a couch till this morning.

I made my way to my locker, awaiting the girls, but my vision caught a familiar brown skinned guy, he was in the company of an olive skinned guy. With my neck still stiff, I made my way to this particularly brown guy. As i got closer, the guy he was talking to gave him an eye signal and he turned and met me.

"Leave us alone." I commanded the boy he was talking to and he immediately left.

"That was harsh." He said, shaking his head slightly in disapproval.

"Listen, I don't want you to tell anyone about where you saw me yesterday." I demand and he chuckled.

"Do you not know how to say please?"

"Shut up, just do that!" I ordered and turned to leave but a hand was stopping me.

"I wo-"

"Get your germs filled hands away from her!" Williams voice interrupted and i place my other hand on my neck.

"Dude chill, we were just having a conversation." He said before letting go of my wrist.

"I told you not to talk to those creeps! They will ruin your reputation and mine as well!" William scolded.

"Fine."

"You all get to class now!" A teacher yelled at William the crew.

Will and i both had our first class together so we both walked to the class. Will ushered me to the back, where we sat.

Physics has never really been my thing, too many formulas and calculations, I never understand what Miss Tracy ever teaches. Which is why whenever William and i both have physics, we spent the time passing notes to each other.

Lunch was boring, there was no drama, whatsoever. Will say next to me with Aubrey by his side and Audrey at my other side.

"Sky, there's a rumor circulating about your father running away? Is it true?" Aubrey asked.

"That's a lie. I told you all what was going on, didn't i?" I answered.

"Shut up Aubrey, I told you last night so why are you bringing it up?!" Audrey scolded her brother.

"I want drama, but not sibling drama. Stop." I ordered and Audrey sat down.

"It's not it would make a difference, your father isn't you." William said as he put his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

I hope not.

"Sky, when should we come over to the hotel?" Lana asked.

"We should totally go today." Audrey said immediately.

"No! My mom wouldn't like...." 

"When did you start caring what your mom likes?" Will interrupted

"You guys are staying in my dad's hotel right? Why don't we throw a party? Tonight." Will continued with a smile plastered on his face.

"Yes."

"No."

"When did you become a party pooper, babe?" Will teased with a smile.

"It's not like that-"

"Then we will have a party. Lana, text everyone." He ordered and Lana texted the cheerleaders.

"Wish.. I thought it would be just us?" I ask.

"What's wrong with you? You are the type to throw extravagant parties, what's up?"

"Nothing! Party it is."

"Great, now come here." Will said and held my face.

"Ouch." I say a little louder than i intended to.

"What's wrong?"

"My neck is a little bit stiff."

"Then go fix it and don't scream like a whiny little bitch!" Will scolded.

"I'm sorry, baby!" I yelled after him but he stormed out of the cafeteria.

"Could you guys help me with my Neck?" I quietly asked my girls.

"I've got practice right now, sorry." Lana answered immediately and left the table.

"I've got to return to class, I'm sorry." Audrey said and followed after Lana.

Well, I've got to do this myself then.

I left the cafeteria and tried rotating my neck in opposite directions but ended up whincing in pain.

I sat on a wooden bench and tried to continue rotating my head. I sighed at my failure.

Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands on either side of my cheeks. My eyes widen and i try to protest.

"Who the fuck gave you the right to tou-"

The next thing i felt was my neck bent to the other direction and i froze, my eyes still widened at the sudden action.

"Now turn your head slowly," A deep voice echoed through the air.

I did as i was told and slowly turned my head to face the stranger 5hat fixed my neck. My eyes met a familiar brown pair.

"Feel better?" He asked and i nodded.

"How did you know about my neck?" I asked in a solemn tone.

"You don't need to be a genius to figure that out. I saw how your neck was positioned this morning, and i might have over heard you asking your friends to help you with it."

Stalker.

"I'm not stalking you. My ears are just really sensitive, I just happened to pass by at that time."

How did he know that?

"I wasn't thinking that." I lied.

Liar!

"Don't you have something to say?" He asked.

"About?"

"Like a thank you?"

"I don't remember asking you to help me with my neck."

"But its common courtesy."

"Get out of my sight! You had the privilege of having a conversation with me and you're acting up."

"You're rude." He said and walked out on me.

"Get back here!" I screamed. "I walk out in people! It's not the other way around!" I yelled into the air but no response.

The nerve of that boy!

A vibrating sound made me remember that i was in the open. I adjusted my jacket and picked up my phone and saw it was a message from Lana.

I walked back into the hallway and saw it was full. Pushing through the sea of bodies, I saw Lana in the front and Audrey spots me.

"Clear the way for Skyler, losers!" Audrey screamed and people cleared a path for me.

I walked up and Audrey helped me to climb the podium. "What's all this?" I Whispered to Audrey.

"Lana has big news." Audrey whispered back.

"What news? I told Lana to run things through with me before acting."

Audrey shrugged and i walked to Lana, who was busy texting someone on her phone.

"Lana! What's all this?!" I scolded and she let out a chuckle.

"Sky, chill. It's good news, now that you are here, I can go ahead." Lana said and walked in the front of the chattering students.

"I know you all are 2ondering why i texted you all, but i have an announcement, Skyler's dad has financial issues and her father ran away, I called you all so you could donate to help her. She has been kicked out of her house and desperately needs the money, Isn't that true Skyler?" Lana asked with a smile plastered all over her face.

**

Wow! What kind of a friend is Lana?

What do you think of how Skyler secret got revealed?
