Mend My Heart

Chapter 1.

Skylar's POV:

Due to the horrific sound of my alarm, I landed on the floor with a loud thud. Ok yeah, that definitely hurt. After laying on the floor for what seems like 10 minutes I finally stood up and interrupted my wonderful thoughts about pizza. Oh wait, let me introduce myself, I'm Skylar Reign and it's my first day of school. Yay!! *note the sarcasm* To make things worse, I just moved across the country during the third week of school. So let's get things straight,  I am the new social wreck that will attend Cadence High THREE WEEKS LATE. Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupts my chain of thoughts, " GET READY SKYLAR OR YOU'LL BE LATE FOR YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" What a joy. I quickly finished my shower and hopped into my outfit which consisted of a hoodie tucked underneath my high waisted jeans with a belt and my worn Vans. I tie my hair into a ponytail and head downstairs to see my family sitting down enjoying their breakfast. I wish my parents and my brother a quick good morning and they all mutter back," good morning" except my brother he is just too busy playing on his iPad. I grab a banana and bolt out the door and into my car. What if I trip and dump my lunch all over someone. That would be so embarrassing. I would probably do that not gonna lie. I slow down once I see the parking lot. I park my wrangler and hop out of it.

As I enter the crowded hallway, I feel almost every single person's stare burn holes through my body. I can almost hear every single whisper, "who's the new girl"
" she's hot"
"Ugh, pathetic"
"Who is that?"
Too distracted by the comments and stares, I suddenly feel myself landing onto the cold floor. I quickly stand up, flushed because of the embarrassment. "Are you blind?! Can't you see, I'm clearly walking your way. No, you just had to bump into me. Don't do it again or else"
there was a small crowd forming and it was dead silent. The kind of silence where you could hear a pin drop. I was blinded by anger and rage. that's such a rude thing to say. "Or what?! I'm not supposed to move away when some douche like you walks my way. YOU shoved ME to the side. WAKE THE FRICK UP" with that I stormed off onto my first class which was AP calculus. Thank god my mom talked to the principal here and made someone print my schedule beforehand. I couldn't have handled the additional humiliation. I hope rumors wouldn't spread. I don't need drama on my first day of school.

"too late don't you think" my consciousness said.
I rolled my eyes at that even though it was true.

Because of this whole incident, I was late to my first class which earned me DETENTION.

flashback...

I knock on the door and make my way into the classroom a small mutter, "come in." I took that as my cue to walk in. I kid you not, every pair of eyes turned to look at me as I made my way into the large classroom. My teacher, whose name is Mr.Jonas( thank you schedule) says," you're the new girl right? Ms.Skylar I presume. You earned yourself detention after school for being 10 minutes late to your first class." I inwardly roll my eyes at him while I march to the one seat left which happens to be in the middle towards the end of the classroom. I look to my right and I met a blue pair of eyes looking at me. She's pretty. She has the "don't mess with me" type of vibe. She looked badass. I mentally scolded myself for staring at her. I turn back and focus ( kinda)on my psychotic math teacher.

end of flashback...

I spent Literature and Biology focusing on the teachers and it wasn't too bad. I actually enjoy literature. I don't mind biology it's fine I guess. It's lunchtime now and I have no one to sit with so I sat at one table far away from that guy I bumped into who is now sitting with several people. I'm guessing they're popular since one girl is sitting on his lap using her long hot pink nails to rub his shoulders. She's wearing a crop top that barely covers her chest and same goes for the skirt. she's wearing long pink heels. How do people handle heels they suck. I don't need heels anyway. I'm not some short girl who falls in love with a tall guy. Nope, I'm 5'10. One thing I really don't get is how men say that girls suddenly want taller guys. It's not that. I want a person taller than me. So yh I want a tall guy since I'm 5'10. That girl looks so fake it's unreal her blonde hair and blue eyes with the revealing outfit. Same goes for her two minions. The other two are sitting on the other guys and it looks so cliche. I grabbed my lunch and thanked the lady and went back to my empty table. My lunch consists of pasta with mozzarella sticks. Not bad. It didn't taste crappy as some movies say. It was fine. After 15 minutes, the bell rang indicating that lunch was over. I made my way to the locker rooms since I had P.E. I don't hate P.E. as normal girls do. I actually like it. I used to play basketball and I know quite some martial arts. No, I am not a professional but I'm very skilled. I remove my hoodie and I'm welcomed with the sight of my abdomen. yes, I have abs, but I didn't magically get them. No, I worked hard while improving my hand to hand combat skills. I slip on a T-shirt with some leggings and a pair of tennis shoes. As I enter the gym I am greeted with the sight of that guy I fought with shirtless talking to some guys. Not gonna lie, but he was handsome. VERY HANDSOME.
I am caught off guard when suddenly his eyes stared right back at me. SHIT! he caught me staring at him that's bad. very bad. shitshitshit. I feel all the blood rushing towards my cheeks. I probably look like a tomato. In a matter of a second, I hear a person screaming "think quick" I look up to find a football being thrown at me with such force. I quickly drop my back and catch it quickly. The ball was being thrown with such force that if I didn't catch it I would have broken my nose. Too bad I have mad skills. I look up and find that guy who I fought in the hallways smirking and I just knew right there that it was him. I could imagine fume coming out of my ears at this point. I was so mad I didn't give two shits about the next thing that was coming out of my mouth, "What's wrong with you?! Do you have mental issues?!! I could have broken my nose you dumbass!! are you trying to kill me huh?!" my consciousness told me to stop
myself there before saying something I would regret later on. How can a person be that dumb?
He replies, still smirking might I add," Oh you know, I just wanted to have fun. I didn't know you had mad skills. Damn, feisty. I like it.  And just so you know the name's Xavier not dumbass" I rolled my eyes at him. Xavier, huh I like it. It brings the bad boy vibe. I won't admit out loud though. A voice suddenly boomed," okay kids, listen up!! Run one mile under 12 minutes! If you don't complete it then it's a hundred pushups!!" almost every single kid groaned but complied anyway it's not like we had a choice. I mean it's junior year. I start running determined to end the challenge. As I kept on running I noticed that most people started slowing down or panting, but I just kept on running. I started to beat people which were familiar to me, but there was one person who I
was even to, the one and only, Xavier.
