Chapter 7
Skye walked into Dr.Garners office the next day, sitting down and starting before he could even get his clipboard out and say hello to her.
"So, I had convinced an old friend to transfer to my school a few days ago so I could make my ex jealous and take me back." She said, looking straight at him.
"Why would you do-"
"Because I don't want her to know how much I'm hurting so I figured he could help me out. Can I continue with my story?" He nodded, sitting next to her and listening closely. Skye went on to explain what happened that day at school.
...
"So Simmons kept glaring at me in chemistry today."
"Yeah, she doesn't like new kids. It means more competition for her." Skye stated, moving things around in her locker.
"Then why wasn't she glaring at me yesterday?" Skye turned and raised an eyebrow.
"But we haven't really started the plan yet, so she really doesn't have a reason to hate you."
"Well, since she already hates me let's move on with the plan." Ward suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. She was about to shove him off when he whispered that Simmons was walking their way. Skye giggled, pretending to laugh at something he had said when someone cleared their throat next to them.
"She just turned around and left that way." Trip said, pointing at the end of the hall. Ward fist pumped and stepped away. Trip shook his head.
"So this is your plan? Making her jealous?" He asked, looking at both of them.
"I was hoping to break her heart but jealously works as well." Skye said sarcastically, shoving things into her bag as the bell rang. She waved at them and hurried to her next class, thinking about what Ward had said.
Meanwhile, Ward was looking around the classroom, trying to find a seat away from Fitzsimmons. Fortunately for him, as long as he was sitting by the time the late bell rings he could sit wherever he wanted. Unfortunately for him, the only seat available was right next to Simmons.
"Having a good week so far, Grant?" She asked in a venomous tone.
"Yeah, I made some good friends recently." Ward was a master at hiding his emotions, but he wanted to smirk so badly when Simmons looked like she was going to kill him with her pencil.
"Yeah, Bobbi and Kara are very pretty wouldn't you say?" She asked, obviously trying to avoid Skye's name.
"They are, but they're definitely not as beautiful as Skye. I can't wait for Friday when we go out on our date." Simmons nearly lunged at him, only being held back by Fitz. He mouthed something along the lines of 'please shut it if you want to live', but Ward didn't feel that threatened by the British girl.
"You're not good enough for her." Simmons growled, fire in her eyes.
"Hey, I agree with you. I'm shocked she actually said yes, no hesitation at all. I guess I'm good enough for her."
"Oh please, the only reason why she'd date you is because she wants me back! Skye doesn't like guys who have the 'bad boy' image and a smug look on their face, she doesn't even like guys at all!"
"Then why are we going on a date?" Ward asked, leaning forward and looking directly in her eyes. "Plus, from what she's told me is that you broke up with her, so why do you even care?" He held back a smirk, feeling victorious as Simmons had no response to that. He turned his attention back to the teacher, patiently waiting for class to be over so he could tell Skye.
...
"So have either of you talked to each other?" Dr.Garner asked, scribbling on his clipboard.
"No, I don't get it. She gets all jealous but she still refuses to talk- she refuses to look at me!" Skye wasn't sure when in the last fifteen minutes she ended up on the floor, but it felt really good for some odd reason.
"Enjoying the carpet?" He asked, placing the clipboard in his lap and waiting for her response.
"Yeah, especially after what happened in gym today. God! I swear that I'm gonna hurt Raina!" She had accidentally hit the corner of the coffee table, causing it to cause a lot of the papers to either move or fall off.
"Easy there, Quake. What did Raina do?" He asked, moving some things back on the table.
"She threw a basketball at me and then got Lincoln to shove me into the bleachers. I mean, I did what she told me to but she seems pretty keen on keeping me out of anything fun."
"What did she tell you to do?"
Skye froze, eyes widen and mouth slightly open.
"I'd rather not say. At least not yet. " She could remember the feeling she had when Raina and Alicia pulled out a video camera, the feeling she had when Lincoln came out of nowhere. It haunted her, making her shiver in fear that it would happen again.
"Skye, we had this talk yesterday."
"Yeah, we did so why are we still talking about it?" Waving by to Dr.Garner, walking away quickly as she knew he would try and get her to stay longer, she saw a familiar figure waiting at the end of the hall. Skye did her best to avoid the person, nearly tripping five times in the process, when she got caught.
"Come on! I thought we were friends."
"We are, but if you're here then she might be here and I don't want to talk to her."
"She wants to talk to you though." William stepped aside, revealing his sister to be pacing around the lobby mumbling to herself.
