Where should we start?
I see Jordan and I see January "How your music lessons with Mali is going?" he asks her "Good. She's good. But she's also very mad person, if she can't play something she can break the piano." She laughs easily "January" Jordan says and looks into her eyes "What?" only I know how much he waited for this moment, he gets closer and his lips kissing hers. When her lips get far from his she smiles "I need to go to practice" she says and wakes up, when she passes me I hope that she can't see me, if she was, it could be very embarrassing. Especially because I just stared at them when they kissed. I had lucky that Nash and I were out of school so he couldnt spy after us.
"Hey man!" I say to Jordan, he smiles "Of course you were here, what have I thought that you wouldnt?" he chuckles "I almost couldnt make it" I say and his face shows that he's worried "I crashed into Jacob" I admit "How was it?" "Weird, it's like he got crazier after I broke up from him like he's obsessed with me or something." "This whole place is crazy, even you and me. We both very crazy" he says "Wow, talk for yourself." I say and act like I'm Amber, who thinks that she's the queen.
"I want to talk to Marian," he says "I want to know what happened to my mother." "Let's go then." I say and wake up.
"Are you ready?" I ask "I hope so; I have to do it anyways." He says. I open the door and I see her, sitting on the chair, she looks so tired like she haven't slept for years "Hello kids. Play time?" She asks "If you want to call it that way so yes, its play time." Jordan says, this time I'll let him speak "What you've done to my mother?" He asks unemotional "Nothing. I already told it to your friend over there and to her boyfriend and to Mali and to everyone on this earth!" "Why should I believe to a liar?! You have always hated me and Skyler! And then you're surprise that we kidnapped you" "I wasnt surprised; I knew it would happen, I just haven't thought that you'll win. But to win me? It's nothing for Cassandra! She doesn't give a damn on me." I swear that I have never seen an old woman talking like it, she got guts. Nash knocks on the door "Come outside, both of you." He says.
"What?" Jordan asks "Since Marian is gone for a long time; they have brought a new principal. She wants to talk to us. Now." He says and starts to walk, like talking to this principal is everything right now. Like we don't have other important stuff to take care of.
"Hey, to Nash, Mali, Jordan, and dear Skyler, sit down please." She looks at the empty chairs. I sit down at some chair and say "We haven't done anything." With guts, so she would believe me "I believe that none of you had any part of her disappearing. I'm here because of other business. What you're searching for." "We're not searching anything" I say "Dear Skyler, no need to lie. You forgot that I learned here. Since then weird things happened here" she says, now I truly feel like she knows everything. "Tell me what's going on here; I swear that I'm here to help you."
"Should we trust her?" I whisper to Nash "Wait" he says and look at her "Why should we trust you" "Because you're only 16, I'm much older, and you need help, Nash won't be able to keep on teaching you techniques to fight, you need a good teacher, not a 16 years old boy. I want to help you." Nash looks at me, I can see on his face that he is not sure what he thinks about it "Why you want to help us? And why you're here?" He asks "I want to help you because I know things about you're past that you don't. And I also know what you're searching" "Really? So, what are we searching?" Mal is asking "Why Skyler's mother is dead" she says, with no doubt "How can we know that you are not against us?" Jordan asks "You won't,"
"With the time you will trust me. And the answer for your second question Nash, I care about this school, when I heard about Marian I took a flight to here" "Can you tell us things about you?" I ask, she looks at me and smile "Of course. I learned here with my best friend Harper. We were in your age when we started to learn here. Marian was my principal. She was a lot o time until Skyler's parents bought this place. To learn here was amazing experience. The teachers were good. I'm good at art and photograph" she says and look at big picture behind us "I loved this picture since ever" she smiles "That's me. I have question, would you die to save to save the world?" I look at her "Yes" I say first then Nash after me and then Jordan and Mali "Great. Let's save the world. First, you all have to go to school. Everyone already think that it's weird" "I also have to go?" I ask "Yes darling, you are not different from anyone else" she says "Once again, why you really want to help us?" Tom asks "I want justice, just like you, I want to save this school. I'm in or not?" She's asking. I look at Tom's face, he nods to me, and so does the others "You're in." I say and smile.
"Do you truly believe her?" Mali asks "I think so, why wouldnt I?" "I dont know she seems a bit weird" she says "All of us weird, she's too, but have we ever had a principal who was not crazy at all?" I ask and laugh easily "You're right."
I sit at the library, doing homework with the team. I sit next to Nash, and his arm is around my waist, Jordan is on my left side and Mali is next to him, Tom is sitting on the couch against us. "I need to talk to what's her name?" I ask Nash "Mia." He says and rolls his eyes, I do to him my angry face and he laughs "I was kidding." He says and his arm let me go.
I hear voices of two people in Mia office "The things that happened were enough for me!" A low voice says. Anne told me that Mia is looking for me "It's not a big deal, I just want you to teach them, not to fight in them war" Mia says to the voice that came out of her phone, I knock on the door, I hope that she heard me "Get in honey" she says, I open the heavy wood doors, with the special painting on it "I need to end this conversation. I hope you'll think about it" Mia says and close the phone "Sit down" I sit in the leather chair.
"This was my old friend. It been years since I saw her. She's good in karate and all of the fighting stuff. I wanted her to move to here to teach you how to fight the best, but she probably would say no" she says sadly "That's what you wanted to say?" I raise my eyebrow "Yes. For now I don't think we have a lot to talk about" I wake up to go "I have question, who teach what... I need help" she says "Okay. Rose is the librarian, Eli is teaching sport and science, Anna teaches Math, Anne teaches English" "Thank you. I hope I'll remember it" she smiles and I turn to the door "Bye" I say to her "Bye Skyler" she looks and me.
I go to the English class; it's been a while since I went on this class, even though it's my favorite lesson. I don't even know why I love it so much, I think that it's just fun for me to talk about stories, about things that are not my complicated life "Hey everyone sit down, I know that this is my first time with you. And today I don't want to talk about English; I want to talk about leaders. What quality makes him a leader? What the word leader means to you" she says and looks at the whole class, but her eyes stop on me "For me a leader is someone who cares about his team! That won't leave it in the middle of the fire alone. For me a leader is someone you can trust on, that he makes you believe that you all can win, that what the word leader means for me." Mia says "Just like me." Amber says "Leader of what are you Amber? Of the fashion?" Mali is saying "Fashion for blind." I say and everyone laugh ״You see guys, it wasn't a leader quality." Mia says "Think about my questions, and bring the answers to the next lesson, but, don't write them, remember them." She says and the lesson is over.
When I finish school I go to the roof, alone, I guess that I need time to think. To be alone.
I sit for hours alone, looking at the clouds, how they are so different, but they're living like that, with the difference, in peace, even if it's just clouds, I wish we were like them, living in peace, if it was like that I had now a family that loves me, that stands right next to me. Makes me feel warm in my heart, not coldness. But the only one the warms my heart is "Hey... why you're here alone?" Nash asks "I needed to think." I say "Can I think with you?" He asks "Why not?" I laugh. I wish we had more moments like those, we're just alone, no worries "I see a cloud in shape of dog?" He point at some cloud "No, you are probably blind; it's obvious that this is a cat." "No it doesn't!" "Yes it is!" I sit "No it doesn't." he answers, he lies easily on his back, looking above, I never saw him that clam.
"I missed us." I say, at first he doesn't say anything, like he think what he wants to say "Me too." He opens his arms for me, I lay my head on his chest, and his heart beat so fast "Nash..." "Yes darling?" "Why your heart beat so fast?" I ask "Because the girl that I love is here, laying down with me." He smiles at me "I love you" Why he haven't said 'I love you too'? Maybe he isn't feeling the same anymore? Maybe he loves me only as friend now? Tear goes down my face "Sky, are you crying?" He looks at me, we both sitting now, but his hand is still around me, one more tear goes down "It's because I haven't told I love you too? I thought that this is obvious, Sky, I love you more than anything! You're the reason I keep on fighting any day, if you'll die, I'll die too" the tears going faster with each sentence he says "I'm sorry if you had doubts, even if it was for a second. I love you." he says "Nash..." I cry "Me too."
He hugs me and I feel the safest girl in the whole world. The sky's are blue and I can see the moon from here, tonight it's a full moon, and I think about all of the books that I have ever read about vampires or werewolf's, maybe if werewolf was more than just a legend there was some wolf that now transforming into wolf. But I guess that my imagination is too real to be really real. I read books since I got born, I always loved it, I could imagine the scene, with the characters, and how they're talking, how they are looking like, like a movie in my head. Nash kiss my forehead, his lips are warm on my skin.
"The sky's looks amazing! I can totally understand why your parents called you Skyler." Nash says. The sunset is right in front of us, I can see the stars shining, don't they afraid to fall? "We need to do it more often." I say and look at Nash, he looks at me, and I feel his warm arms around my back "I agree with you." He says. I hear footsteps on the roof "Nash and Skyler, thanks god you're here. Something happened." January say "What happened?" Nash asks "Marian got murdered."
