Sky was getting frustrated, all the clothes in her closet were either on the floor or her bed, and she couldn't figure out what to wear. "What does one wear to a basketball game" she screams out in frustration to no one in particular. She was home alone, Uncle David was still on his work trip, Aunt Loren was at her weekend book club and Tyler already left for the game, Coach demanded that all the players be around at least 2 hours before the game began for some pep talks and mental warm ups. Sky fell onto her bed with a huff, she had less than two hours to get ready and be on her way but the only piece of garment she had on was her skin tone color sports bra and panties set.Her laptop made a beeping sound and she looked over to where she placed it on her desk which was partially covered in clothes too. It looked like someone was trying to face time her. Moving towards the device Sky picked up an extra large button-down shirt from the floor, she used it as a sleep shirt. She slipped
"I'm so glad you came. when I didn't see you before the game started I was so sure you wouldn't show" Ace said gazing at her. These days he did that a lot, gazed at her, not look or stare, gaze. Whenever he looked at her like that it was like she was his world, he couldn't believe she was there or that someone like her existed. His look spoke of great adoration.Sky laughed and broke the staring game they had going on "I told you I would. and I always keep my word""So, what did you think about it??" It was intriguing. fascinating, I mean I'm not a sports person and I tried not to scream with the crowd in case I mistakenly cheered for the wrong team....and you... you're really good, aren't you?? Are you gonna go pro?"Ace stared at her, a soft look in his eyes, he was surprised at her overly enthusiastic expression "No, it's just a game I play for fun... But Tyler's going pro""yh he is, just like his dad" Tyler has wanted to go into professional basketball since he watched Michael J
The cold wind whipped around Sky in the dead of the night the only source of light being the moon that shone brightly in the sky. Tarred road stretch on for miles on either side of her as she moved forward not knowing where she was going, she could see nothing in front of her or around her.'Why didn't you save me a voice spoke behind her, she knew that voice, it was one she loved one she couldn't wait to hear every day one she would never hear again. Sky spun around but saw nobody."We died because of you!!!" a hand from behind gripped her shoulders and dug into her skin. Sky screamed out of fright but no words came out. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her but it felt like she was running through thick mud, her movement slows while the chill in the air nipped at her exposed skin. But she didn't slow down. She was getting nowhere through the blackness never ended it just kept going.She could still feel those hands on her, cold, colder than the air, and the stench of blood an
"My parents never wanted me" Ace began softly. Talking about his parents was a topic he never ventured into, he put it in a strong box and locked it away. But he wanted her to know him, wanted her to know all of his demons, all his secrets. "Well they never wanted kids in general not just me" Ace sat with his back to the headboard of his bed, he could imagine his father with his dark eyes and his salt and pepper hair, everything he had physically he got from his father, his build, his eyes, his straight Greek nose except for the hair though he got that from his mother.'A diamond of the first water 'That is what his mother was. She had porcelain fair skin, a petite frame, and bright copper pen red hair that he took from her. She was a beauty, an epitome of elegance and wealth, both his parents were but they were also workaholics and unfit to raise a child."Do you guys talk" Sky asked'talk' Ace thought. they don't even know I exist. "My parents and I have no relationship whatsoever
Chapter oneAce laced up his black Chelsea boots and ran downstairs taking the steps two at a time, being an only child to two workaholic parents made living alone in his mansion extremely lonely but life as he knew it was about to change he just didn't know if yet.Ace Reed, the first and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Reed, both surgeons and heads of departments was a head-turner with his Dark eyes and bright red hair, he was six foot six inches and beautiful and this boy knew it. Girls threw themselves at him and he let them, he was spoilt and he didn't Care he lived a Carefree life, he had everything he wanted what more could a person possibly need.The air was hot and humid against her skin, it blows in through the window of the Toyota that was taking her to her new life, away from the whispers, away from the stares, away from him. It was messing up her hair"good," she thought she never wanted to pack it up in the first place but her mum always says packing up her blond tresses alwa
Chapter 2Walking through the front door of the large dining room Sky hears noises, yelling, and playful banter, and then she sees a large window that lets in a lot of light making the room bright and beautiful, this makes her wonder how the room would look like at night, especially with a full moon in the sky.The noise doesn't stop, everyone is oblivious to her presence and this allows her to watch.The room is packed with guys, tall, bulky guys that look to be about her age, but everyone is tall to Sky with her height at five foot five inches.One guy throws a glass cup at the other tall guy opposite him like a basketball and thankfully the other guy catches it...' I don't think my aunt will be ecstatic knowing that her fine China is being used as a replacement for basketball'Let me tell you something about Sky, she has this innate ability to blurt out her thoughts without remorse, most times she does this unknowingly like right now... The fact that about 6 pairs of eyes are sta
Chapter 3Sky's Pov.After dinner, Aunt Loren shows me to my room"I hope the design is to your taste," she says bringing me out of my thoughts.I take my time to look around me. The peach-colored walls with grey accents were my style, there was also a queen-sized bed that looked comfy with white covers and grey and peach colored throw pillows, the double door wardrobes were big, and there was a small table by the bedside with a lamp on it, I also had my en suite"I love it, thank you" my response brought a smile to her face.Mom stepped into the room squeezing aunt Loren on the arm, probably her way of saying thank you....again"I'll see you downstairs," aunt Loren said to mum while leaving the room"Sky.....""Mom...." We started togetherI looked up into her eyes, "you go first dear" she said while leading us towards the bed to sitWe sat side by side with her arms around me, "I'll be fine Mum... I promise" I breathed out " I'll eat, I'll sleep, I'll go out, I'll socialize, I'll t
Chapter 4Sunday came and went. I unpacked my stuff, arranged my room, put my personal effects away, and read a bit, although it was some of the old books I've read before I promised, I promised to put in an effort so I will.Plain white shirts with the option of long or short sleeves tucked into navy blue and black short plaid skirts, white thigh high socks, and polished black shoes, that is the official school uniform of Lake view high school according to the student handbook,Oh, and there's a tie!!, though that is optional 'thank God'I've been awake since four am. I've bathed, brushed my teeth, pressed my uniform, and have been sitting on my bed in my robe reading this book, it is very boring by the way. Check this out:'All students are to report to the auditorium by eight every day for a mandatory assembly' what happened to just resuming school and going straight to classUhhh I miss public school...I miss my school, I miss...
