Skylar fell asleep.

I laid him down on the bed and watched him.

I felt like a stalker.

He looked a lot like a doll that you would buy at an antique store, when he was asleep.

I need to go to sleep too.

But there was no school tomorrow, so I could stay up a little longer to look at him.

Skylar turned over to his side and hugged his pillow.

He was adorable.

He peeked his eyes open.

"Why are you watching me?" He asked sleepily.

"No reason." I said and got up, walking over to my bed.

"Ok.." he says. "I don't believe you though. There must reason for you to stalk me in my sleep."

I was blushing in embarrassment.

"I wasn't stalking you. Go to sleep."

"Your not asleep."

"Well I was about to."

"But your not."

"Look, your tired, I'm tired. Let's just go to sleep."

"Ok.."

Within a few seconds he was sleep.

I take my pills and go to sleep.

I wake up at 4 in the afternoon. Practice starts at 6.

"Oh, your up!" Skylar says and smiles. "You were in a deep sleep."

"Yeah.." I said. I went to the bathroom and got changed.

*********

Practice was great.

John wasn't here but we did good without him.

And for once Ms. Stevens was proud of us. She didn't fuss at us for messing up like usual.

I was on my way home, when something stopped me.

I look over at the ballet studio. It looks worn down, and old but there were about 30 kids in there.

I really need to visit Skylar one day.

I continue to walk home.

"Hey! Your finally back from practice!" Skylar said and looked up from his phone. He was unusually happy. "I wanted to show you this picture me and Parker drew!"

He sounded like a five year old kid. But it was oddly adorable.

"Cool." I said and put my bags down. Skylar ran up to my room with Skylar and came down with a portrait of.... Me?

"It... It looks really good." I say. It did. I was in 'Anime Form' but it was good. I had light brown eyes, and my brown hair was on point. I was looking fresh.

"Do you like it?" Parker asked.

"I love it." I say patting his head like a dog.

"Yay!" Parker said smiling.

"Glad you like it. Also Veronica said that she's gonna beat your ass later." Skylar said.

"What did I do this time?" I ask.

"She said that you make Parker choose you over her."

"Oh. I guess she just wants a human punching bag." I say and chuckled.
