Darkening Sky Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Night out….well semi out.

I woke up from a long nap, refreshed and full of energy. I turned the water on to the shower and then turned my iPod on. I turned it to my "theme song" Shake it by Metro Station. I jumped into the shower and washed my hair again for the second time that day. I always felt the need to take a shower after I’ve slept. I got out of the shower wrapped myself in a white fluffy bathrobe and walked into my room. I grabbed my phone off my nightstand and turned it on. There was five texts. One from Danny apologizing for what he did I quickly replied "Don’t worry. It’s fine. Just don’t let it happen again. Please?" A second from Charlotte reading "Hey punkin’ want to go to the lounge later with the guys maybe?" I ignored it. I would talk to her later. The third message was from Nikki that said "I like Darris…..A LOT!" I replied with a smiley face and a no duh. The fourth message from Skyler. "Heyyyy babyyy want to hang later?" The fifth message was from him again. "Hello? You there?" I told him that I fell asleep and that it would be cool if we did. I set my phone back down and walked back into the bathroom. Changed songs and started to dry my hair. My phone started to ring. I went to answer the text I received. It was from Skyler.
"Alright, what time?"
"5:30."
"Where?"
"Longue?"
"Sure thing, see you soon"

I went back to the bathroom again this time bringing my phone with me. I finished drying my hair, brushed my teeth, put some makeup on, and walked out into my closet and looked for something to wear. I grabbed my denim ripped up skirt, blue t-shirt and black converse. I didn’t feel like making that much effort. I let my hair hang over my shoulders and tucked some of it behind my left ear. I grabbed my phone and quickly texted Charlotte. "I’ll be there with Skyler around 5:30. Hope you’re there." My phone rang shortly after I sent the text. She said she would be there. Not really a shocker, but I replied with a good. There was a knock at my door and I went to answer it. It was Skyler.
"Hey, how are you?" I said happily.
"Good, you?"
"Not to bad. Happy it’s the weekend."
He leaned down and kissed me. He grabbed my hand pulled me out into the hall I had to quickly turn around and shut the door, but I skipped back to him and held his hand. We talked about our day and what homework we had. I eventually asked him if he knew the two new girls sitting at our table he shrugged and he said he didn’t know. Which didn’t really surprise me since no one else knew either. We walked in silence for a while, which was nice because it gave me a chance to think and I didn’t have to space out and make him feel like I was ignoring him. I decided to pick up the conversation again I didn’t want to think about what happened early today.
"Charlotte and Nicolas are going to be at the longue."
"That’s cool I guess." He said blankly.

He didn’t really understand Charlotte, well neither did a lot of people. She had her true moments where you wondered if she actually had a brain. Half the time someone would say something completely insulting to her and it would go right over her head. For example Skyler would always say some mean comment back when she said "I love you" to him and thought he was saying I love you back in some really complicated way. You couldn’t help, but love her for it though.
"So, what have you been up to lately?" I asked
"Nothing much, what about you?"
"The usual….nothing"
"Yeah, it’s kind of lame here"
"Heck yeah it is! Maybe we should liven it up?" I laughed jokingly. I didn’t mean it of course and he knew that so he laughed back. I spun around and wrapped my arms around his waist , since I was way to short to wrap them around his neck, I stood on my tip toes and kissed him. I never wanted to stop. I broke away since we were in the middle of the quad and tons of people were looking. I just giggled and grinned and let them think what they wanted to. I loved him and that’s all that mattered.
