25 Chapter 25 (1/2)

Monday morning came and Skylar couldn't have dreaded it. She hadn't answered anyone's calls or messages because she felt confined and she wanted to forget. She got a bright idea that she would go through with.

When her mother came into her room, she had her fake speech ready.

”Honey, why aren't you awake?”

”I don't feel so good.” Which technically she wasn't lying about, she had barely got a wink of sleep the previous night and she felt very exhausted.

”Okay, but if it worsens let me know, and I will take you to the hospital honey.”

”Thanks, mom.”

”You are a welcome, sweetie.”

Skylar lay back and when she couldn't fall asleep, she went downstairs and watched T.V. She tried to study but it also wasn't working.

When Wednesday morning came, Skylar knew that she had to go to school or else her mom would send her to the hospital. She felt her head pounding from the lack of sleep and she knew that it was going to be a long day after all.

Skylar raced down the hall when she saw how late she was. She went to her locker and took some books and looked at her time schedule, and she wanted to faint, she had Maths which means all the people she wanted to avoid were there.

She thought about skipping the class but she knew she couldn't. She had to face them sooner or later and she had Lola to help her. Skylar took a deep breath and she touched the door handle, she exhaled and turned the doorknob open.

Skylar walked in and she saw everyone was there, she didn't make eye contact with anyone.

”Sorry mam I'm late.”

”Take a seat, Skylar.”

Skylar scurried next to Lola, who turned to her with a frown and mixture of concern on her face. She knew what Lola and everyone else was wondering, where was she? And why wasn't she answering her phone?

Skylar gave an assured look and that she would explain everything to her later on. Skylar could feel a lot of gazes on her but she didn't look back she just pretended to focus on her school work. The minutes seemed to be stuck and when maths was finally over she got up, and Lola dragged her outside around the corner.

Skylar was glad that Lola had done that because she didn't want Karly or anyone else to call her.

”Dude where have you been?”

”I promise I will tell you everything during lunch.”

”Okay, and you don't look so good Skylar, is everything okay?”

”I'm fine, just a bit tired.”

Skylar looked at her timetable and saw that she had Science, she turned and made her way there. She got to class a minute late, when she made her way to her seat she could feel Reign's and Jessie's gaze were on her intently.

Skylar sat down next to Tyler.

”You don't look good Skylar. Should you be at school.”
