My Double Life

Chapter 23

Skylar's POV

I hate mornings, especially this one. First I'm not allowed to fight till God knows when and now I have to buy that gorgeous douche bag lunch.

"Dad I'm leaving!" I shout from the front door as I put my shoes on

"Aren't you waiting for us?" He comes down with a very pink dressed Giana

"No, I'll just take the bus. I want to be early today." I say slinging my backpack over my shoulder

"Okay honey just be safe." He kisses my forehead

I don't even know how but I find myself walking to school instead. I guess this whole Ben thing is getting to me, I hope he dies in an alley somewhere!

It takes me about 30 minutes to get to school. It's a good thing I left home early because the bell rings just as I enter the crowded hallway.

I make my way to my first class surprisingly finding Ray and Kendrick in their seats and the teacher isn't even here yet.

I send Karen a smile and a light wave as I  find my way to my usual seat.

"Hey, why are you so late?" Ray asks as Kendrick and him make their way to where I'm seated

"I walked here." I bluntly answer

"Did you miss the bus? You know you could've just called me and I would've come to pick you up." Kendrick says

He's being nice... willingly.. May be this day won't be bad after all.

"I didn't miss the bus, I was on my way to the bus stop but found myself walking to school." I explain

"Okay we were starting to worry that you might have dropped out of school and you wouldn't be able to buy Ken his lunch." Ray says and Kendrick fist bumps him

How far back can I roll my eyes

"I should be the one worried because you guys are early to class, you even got here before me." I raise my brow

"What can we say Skylar, I guess we are more committed to learning than you are." Kendrick shrugs making me laugh

"You wish, no one is more committed than I am." I lightly shove him

"The only thing you should be committed to right now is buying my lunch." Kendrick laughs

Butthole. I'll redeem myself soon and he'll have to buy me lunch until we graduate, ha!

The teacher walks in and the boys take their respective seats

Vicky dear walks into the classroom shortly after looking exhausted. She looks terrible with dark bags under her eyes and an extremely messy bun

"Miss Santiago, I don't appreciate tardiness and you should know this. Detention after school, go take your seat." Mrs Greenwood scolds

Victoria rolls her already tired eyes and takes her seat at the back with the boys. She doesn't even spare me a glance

It is a good day after all...

Lunch comes by quickly. Kendrick and I are in line for our food and the idiot is making life difficult for me, the lunch lady, infact the entire cafeteria!

"Should I have the pizza slice or the chicken sandwich. No, maybe I'll take the burger.. But th-"

"Just pick already!" The lunch lady and I say in unison

"Fine. I'll have the chicken wrap with a side of fries and a coke." He finally orders

He gets his food and I quickly order mine not wanting to create a pitch fork mob due to Kendrick holding up the line. I pay for both our meals and we walk back to our table
