Chapter 16

It was break time and the gang was seated at their usual spot under the tree. AJ and Josh were playing a game of chess. They looked like they had been asked to solve a crime case. Each guy had his face glued to the board. Skylar was looking something up his phone, sipping a cup of green tea. And Kathy had her face buried in a novel. I sat there,out of place,with no idea what to do.

" Skylar ?"I called. He looked at me. " Do something!" I pointed Kathy. Placing his index in his ears,he gave me a once over. That look could freeze. The siren blurred and they got up to leave. They took the lead as Sky walked behind them.

" What is your problem?" he whispered .

" We're waiting time " I said impatiently.

" Like. I'm trying what I can. I've been doing that the whole of this week"

" Try harder!"

" I'm stressed. Don't pressure me. You're being a probl _ " I gasped before he ended the sentence. His face softened when he realized what he had done. Tears pooled my eyes.
