Maxine
I practically ran to the office and when I got there I came to a screeching halt when I came face to face with Skye. She was leaned up against the wall next to the office window. "Not going in?" I ask skeptically. She just rolls her eyes as if I should already know the answer to that question.
"You know exactly why I will not go in there, and nothing, and I mean nothing you say will make me go into that room with those idiots who call themselves our parents. I get it. According to our parents we're 'best friends' but I hate you, I despise of Baylie and I could careless about Juliet and nothing anyone says - including them - will change that," She blurts out, before going back to her phone. Probably texting Blake who was more than likely paying no attention to whatever the principal was saying.
I look at her then take a step towards the door. "I see how you look at him," She says suddenly, making be stop before touching the door handle. I look towards her and my eyes meet hers; her eyes filled with mischief and mine probably filled with fear. "The look of lust. Pain. Longing. It was the same looks that me and Blake use to give each other before we ended up having sex in the back of his truck; before 9th Grade Prom," She tells me, she drops her arms to her side before smirking at me.
"Don't say anything, please. I don't need Isabelle killing me for something that's out of my control. I mean...it's not like I even have a chance with him. He's, he's like you and Blake and everyone else. He's so much better then me," I tell her softly and she just looks me dead in the eye.
"I can help you. Come around my around 5 this evening. I'll help you get ready for dinner," Skye tells me, this is really an offer I can't decline but the look on her face tells me I'll HAVE to do something in return for this favor.
"No. No. Why would you betray Isabelle like that? She knows everything there is to know about you," I say, and she just shrugs.
"I'm bored, and her and Will are easy to play with because she's so insecure. Apparently Will doesn't even want her," Skye says as if it's nothing. It isn't nothing, their lives aren't a game like she thinks they are. Isabelle? Insecure? That's a lie and a joke as if I have ever saw one. Will, not wanting Isabelle. The next best thing to Skylar. "What's wrong? Scared of rejection? That's nothing. You have nothing to lose really from being rejected by him. You lost your ranking back in 7th Grade when you pranced you straight A's around the class room. Popularity is everything and you don't have that. So nothing to lose at all," Skye tells me. Naming off the one thing that I have lost the most in the past 5 years.
"Who does he want exactly?" I ask, trying to shake off this feeling that everything that Skye's planning on doing is going to backfire on me.
"I don't know exactly, he'll never tell me because Isabelle is my other half. I have a pretty good idea on who it is but I won't let that happen if you want him. Maybe this will go well and I won't have to hate you anymore," Skye said, getting into not so much detail on what could happen if she made this happen for me.
No more being kicked ot the ground.
No more only having Rose as a friend.
Maybe actually getting a boyfriend.
A deal I can't pass up. "What do you want me to do in return exactly?" I ask, risking it. What do I have to lose really? Skylar stated there that I have nothing to lose and it's so ture. Plus, Skylar always go what she wanted, and yeah Isabelle looks happy with Will and Will looks happy with Isabelle but, from what Skylar's telling me, there's something going on behind closed doors.
Skylar pushed off the wall and took a small step towards me but the door to the office swung open and out walked our parents and the other half of this broken up group. Blake walked out paled and with a distraught look upon his face. Like he found out something that flipped his world upside down.
"Hey Babe, what's wrong?" Skye asked, pushing past me and towards her boyfriend. The conversation that we were having long forgottten, until 5 tonight. He looked into her brown eyes, a lost look in his green ones. Then his eyes landed on me, the look in his eyes changed completely. To a look of angry. Maybe even fiery.
"You, you had to have known. Your parents have never kept anything from you or even lied to you. You're suppose to be the smart one. I, how could you have not have seen it? Or did you not even care? Did you even think before-"
"What's going on Blake!?" Skye yelled and her hand fell off of his arm, her posture showed that she was a little frightened by him. Probably from her time in juvie. "Tell me what happened in there. What did the idiot do?" She asked softly, I didn't even cringe at the harmless insult knowing that our families were watching.
"It's disgusting that she would even- She apparently knew. If she knew then why did she-"
"Did you two? Oh, oh my god. I have to," And with that Skylar turned away from us connecting the dots to one night of vulnerablity. Blake wasn't 100% faithful to her while she was away.
Skylar
"You little slut!" I yelled out, spinning around towards the smartass who thinks she could get away with everything. Even after all I was about to do for her, she didn't think to mention this. After planning on letting Simon take her virginity only to find out that she isn't a virgin at all. "You can't even keep it in your pants can you? I was about to change everything for you, and now I find out this? Good luck Maxie, Good fucking luck. I'm about to make the rest of your High School experience 10 times worse then what it already is," I yelled at her, I was chest to chest with the girl so when I turned around suddenly I was able to hit her of balance. I could hear the heels of my best friend behind me so I stop and turn towards the blonde.
"You knew about it, didn't you? You knew that he was sleeping with the fucking enemy and after all those God Damn visits you never even mention it to me? That he was sleeping with Pathetic, Innocent, Smart as Albert Enstien, Good for Nothing Maxine Joanna Lovesk!?" I screamed at her, by then some teachers had stepped out of their classroms to see what all the fuss was about. She stepped towards me to cover my mouth with her flithy hand but I bit it the minute it was over my mouth.
I was angry, no, I wasn't angry I was livid. I wanted to hit something, someone. Anyone, but most importantly I wanted to his the brown haired girl that always acted like she never did wrong.
"He wasn't sleeping with her. She cornered him and kissed him, then something come out in that office. You need to talk to him S. He needs you," Isabelle said, and I let out a sigh. I could careless about what he needs because from the sound of uncertainity in her voice, it was enough to angery me even more.
"I can't," I whisper and turn towards the metal doors. I practically ran out of the building. The sun that was shining earlier today had turned into a thunderstorm, just like my feelings. I didn't care that the rain was soaking my $1200 purse or my $400 skirt that could very well ruin the color. I'm hurt that he had to turn to Maxine for comfort. To the one person I hate more than my own parents. The one person I have more than Baylie McKenna Coveck and the band One Direction.
I unlock my car door and get in. I had the hood up so, luckily my car was dry. I press down on my break and press the button to start the ignition. It was only a moment before I pulled out of the parking lot leaving a cloud of non-existent dust behind me. I can't be around him. I can't be around them after they knew what had happened between Maxine and Blake. Tonight was suppose to be fun. I was suppos to help Maxine out with her social life. I was suppose to ruin whatever Isabelle and Will had. But Maxine had to ruin that, she had to make me want to kill her with my own bare hands.
I close my eyes as I pull down the street to a house I haven't approached since before Juvie. I walk up to the door, and walk on in. I throw my keys onto the coffee table in the living room. "Is anybody home?" I yell out into the quiet house and then the face of the guy who tried to keep me out of Juvie by lying to the police, appeared before my eyes. "Got anything good?" I ask and he sends me a half smile.
"Welcome back Skylar," He said and held out his rather large hand for me. I grabbed it and we made our way into his kitchen where the smoke was so thick you couldn't see in front of you, and the smell itself could get you high. "Beer?" He asked and I shook my head.
"Something stronger."
I took a seat on the counter while I waited for him to get me something. Anything to numb the pain of the betrayal I was feeling. "So...I was thinking. Maybe you can help me with something," I say, as I take the tequila and take a taste of it. Downing it in one taste. "There's this girl who's never done an evil thing in her life. Or I thought has never done an evil thing in her life until I found out she was sleeping with Blake. Maybe you can help me send her to juvie, get a taste of what it's like to do something other then be a slut," I explain ahd he looks at me.
"But at a cost baby," He says and I just smile at him.
"I wouldn't ask you to do that for free Dasan."
Blake
I sat next to Will, letting him drive my truck as we drove around looking for Skye. "We're not going to find her," Will warned me before we left the school parking lot...ten minutes prior to now. I knew that Skylar Grace Hariso was one person that if she ran away, she'd never be found until she wanted to be found. I knew that she was able to leave town for a week at a time and never be noticed gone. She always had a clear mind, even if she was upset or angry, or even drunk. She always knew what she wanted.
"You had to of known that she would freak out Blake," Will spoke and I looked over at the brown haired boy who I've come to call my brother. "Skye has always acted like nothing could ever hurt her, break her but you had that power dammit. You should know that by now," Will argued, he was mad. Everyone thought that Will wanted Skye for himself and was only waiting for me and her to end out love affair, but he thought of Skye as his little sister. Someone who he'd kill for if anyone were to hurt her.
"I know will! Don't you think I feel bad enough that I ended up...making out with my...with her? Maxine was a mistake goddammit, hell would freeze over before I let this mistake drive her away from me forever. I was feeling lost and alone. I was upset at the police because they would't listen to her side of the story. Maxine of all people sat with me on the beach comforting and I don't even know what happened," I yelled at Will and he shook his head.
"You had the power to stop that damn redhead but you let it happen!" Will challenged and I knew he was right. I had the power to push Maxine away from me but I left her straddle me, I let her push her tongue down my throat.
"I know," I sighed and looked out the window. The glint of her yellow car caught my eye, she's. Oh fuck. "Go down that street," I said quickly and he did as I asked him to. We drove down the street towards a house that changed everything for Skye. The girl who was always so careful not to get caught doing anything.
The last house she had seen before going to Juvie.
It was a foggy night and you could just make ou the blue and red lights of the police cars flashing thought he barred off windows. It was almost silent, the low hum of the music was the only thing making noise. The the footsteps were heard and an overweight cop came into view. "I'm looking for Mr. Ethon-Burley," The sandy haired cop said, looking around the room for him. Everyone but but a few of us were intimidated by him, so they pointed to the tall, tan, black haired, military built guy in the kitchen. He was so clearly flirting with Skye.
She had a sleep stoned smile upon her face and the beer bottle in her hand was so close to slipping from her grasp. I tried whispering to her when the police first showed up but she didn't hear me. I was told an hour before that the police were called and were on their way but I didn't believe it.
"She's with him," I growled and unbuckled my seatbelt. I opened the door and I ran up to the house, I walked straight on in and the smell of meth and weed was as strong as it always was. Great. Just fucking great. I walk up to the door of kitchen and walk inside like I always did. "Guess who's-Skye," I said quickly, making it act like I came through the back door.
There up on the counter was Skye, her crop top was on the floor by Dasan's, her tighted were on the table and her skirt was rose up to her thigh. She qucikly pushed him away and grabbed her shirt. "Blake," She started but I walked to her, and practically demanded that she wait for me in her car. Tears were brimmin gher eyes and she greatfully puled her shirt over her and, her figure disappeared and I turned back to Dasan.
"I told you to stay the hell away from her Burley. You promised me you would," I snarled at hima nd he just smirked.
"You had to of known that the minute she found out about that Maxine girl, everything you have ever had with Skye would be up in flames and in seconds be dust," Dasan said, looking down at me. Then I did something completely unlike me, pushed one of my best friends back into his table of meth and marijuana. Not giving a damn about the damage.
I walk out of the house and I look towards her car, I see her sitting in the passenger seat looking completely lost in thought. I sighed and walked to the red car and got into the driver's seat. "What happened? When did this get so...screwed up?" Skye cried and I looked to her. I knew I drove her to his, I knew I made her think that she didn't deserve me because I ended up in the arms of another person.
"Maxine's my sister," I whisper to the warm air in her car. I could feel her brown eyes on me and I let out a sigh. "I, I freaked out because a few weeks into your sentencing, she was with me down by the beach. I was drinking and missing you and she just kissed me. I didn't stop her for a odd reason. But she sat there listening to me...whine about missing you. I was so drunk that I didn't even realize it was happening until it was over," I explained and she let her forehead come to touch the dashboard in front of her. "I would never intentionally screw us up," I whisper, placing my hand over her smaller one.
I knew from today that there would be problems. There will always be the thought of each of us becoming unfaithful because of her incident with Dasan Ethon-Burley and my...incident with Maxine Lovesk.
