Sorry for being inactive- will a long chapter make it up?

I hope so.

Skye

I walked into the offices, my stomach growling.

I forgot to eat breakfast.

By that, I mean I went to sleep too late, which caused me to ignore my alarm.

So, I only had 15 minutes to get ready.

Anyway, I walked into my office and sat down.

"Hey, Skye." 

I turned to see Ashley in my door way.

"Hey, Ashley. What's up?"

"Not much. Brianna is coming in today. I decided to bring her in early so that you two can meet."

I smiled.

Another girl, yes!

"Where is she?" I asked.

"I'm right here." I heard a high pitched voice say.

Ashley moved to the side to show a girl.

Brianna has short brown hair that goes just past her ears. Her hair was curled.

"Hi, Brianna."

"Please, call me Bri." She smiled.

I smiled back.

"I'm Skye." I replied.

"I like your hair." She said. "How did you do it?"

"This hairstyle?" I questioned. "It's just a messy bun. I guess I could show you later." I smiled.

"That would be awesome!"

"I'll leave you two to it." Ashley said then left.

"So, do you live with Ashley?" I asked.

"Yeah! How did you know?" She asked me.

"Lucky guess." I admitted.

"Alright. Who do you live with?" She asked, walking into my room a little bit more.

"I live with Adam. For now, at least. Hopefully, I'll find an apartment soon." I said.

"Well, I don't know any apartments for rent at the moment. But I'll let you know if I see any."

"Thanks!" I said.

"No problem, Skye."  She left the room.

Something was off about her.

After being in a few orphanages, I knew quite a lot about people.

Like, I knew when someone was lying.

Or, I knew when someone was guilty.

And, I knew when someone was off.

I shook the thought away.

No, I can't think like this anymore.

After all, I was wrong about Jason.

And that's a first.

I turned back to my phone and realized that I had gotten a few text messages from some 'friends'.

Wait. 

My phone was right side up.

Which means that you could see the messages as they came through.

Oh no.
