When we arrived at school Justin grabbed my arm yanking me to a stop.
"You better watch your back, you stupid cutter."
I looked around for Skylar but she had gotten lost in the messy mob of kids in front of us.
I began to say something back but then reality hit me like a brick.
I can't say anything. I can't stand up for myself. I am stupid.
You are the reason your father died, I thought.
All of a sudden, the bell rang and Justin backed off of me. Skylar ran up to me, a smile on her face.
"Are you ready, Scar?" Her voice was visibly excited. She is one of the happiest people I have ever met.I nodded as we walk into the school.
She stopped dead in her tracks.
I give her a look that said 'Are you alright?'
"Yes I'm fine but I forgot to do something right now."
I thought she meant that she didn't have her schedule or something else.
But oh how wrong I was.
Skylar took my hand, humming sweetly to us. "We are going to do this together. We are together now."
I can't believe how sweet she is, I squeezed her hand as a 'thank you'. Which she returning fondly. With that we walked off to class.
Together.
Together.
Together.
