Skylar's POV:

"You're kidding right?" I stare at him as he continues eating, "No, I don't think you should help her." He leans on the counter, this guy who's always about helping people is telling me not to help Beans. "Okay but why?" I ask, "Okay she's trying to become like you right, our line of work could get in the way, she could get in the way and who knows what could happen Sky." He justifies and he has a point she could get hurt but if she does then she'll probably not want to continue being me. "Alright then, I'll see if she's up for something big." I comment and his eyebrow furrow, "What?" I ask dusting my hands off.

"Did you not hear what I just said?" He leans on his hands and I watch his height rise, fucking 6 footer. "Yeah I did and I am going to not help her, all she has to see is us getting in major trouble for something or us getting into something so bad that it scars her then she'll never want to be like me again." I came up with the plan on the top of my head, couldn't fill in any of the details especially since I don't know shit about Beans. "So you're going to hurt her?" He shakes his head. "Not not exactly, she's just going to realize that our life isn't made for her." I hop off the stool walking over to him, "Look Sky it just isn't a good idea you can go ahead and do whatever I'm just saying something could happen." He puts his hand up messing up the beanie on my head.

"Also be prepared." He says walking away, "Why?" I followed him, "Because I got a message from Dean saying he's about to leave Jail." I see a smirk on his face, "Did he say he's leaving Jail or he's breaking out of Jail?" I want to clarify because Dean is one sneaky bitch. "He's breaking out but who the fuck cares? He's getting out and we need to be ready for when his orange jumpsuit dick is ready." We go back into his computer room and he sits in his wheely chair while I take the mini couch up against the furthest wall. "Okay, so does that mean we taking Mona when he's ready?" I get excited knowing we'll be taking the Nissan that Sage named Mona. "Yeah we're taking Mona." He starts doing all of his techy things while I watch.

I thought it was because he liked the painting Mona Lisa so much but it's not that, he said before that the name is the middle name of Liliana but we don't bring her up very often but I will this one time. "Sage, I can ask you something?" I sit up straight and he looks over his shoulder, "Of course Sky." He is the only person in the world that I'll ever let call me that. Not even our parents got to call me 'Sky', "Do you think we'll ever see her again? Whether it be in a different life or now?" He stops typing and I see his adam's apple pop out, "I don't know, I'm hoping and praying now but if not I'll find her again and you will too." He begins his work again and I just left it at that.

The Next Day

I got off my bike watching the rest of the kids make their way into the school, most of the seniors drive and I wanna bet that Beans does too, I waited longer ignoring everyone who didn't remotely look like Beans at all until a pick up truck parked right in front of my line of sight, I walked closer with my helmet in my hands only stopping when I see that it's Beans inside the truck. I waited for her to hop out before grabbing her attention, it was hard to see that the truck is elevated so fucking high for no reason.

I don't know why people customize their trucks to literally be 5 feet off the ground like what's the point it doesn't make you look intimidating it makes you look stupid as fuck. You can't see shit, sure you can see the road in front of you but that's about it. I watched her feet hit the ground and I looked back up seeing who I'm assuming is her dad stare me down. "You got a problem fucker." I said out loud knowing he won't hear me at all, he continued to stare at me as he pulled out from the car in front of him but I ignored him catching up to Beans' figure.

"Hey Beans." I looked down a little to meet her eyes with mine, she's not that much shorter than me maybe a couple of inches shorter but that's it, at least it isn't an entire foot. "Is that what you're going to call me now, instead of Blondie?" She keeps her eyes on the path she walking gripping her backpack straps. Oh shit, I forgot mine, ah fuck it's not like I'm going to do any of the work anyway. "Yeah 'Blondie' got boring but where's your friend?" I ask looking around for the black-haired girl, it's obvious she doesn't like me, their conversation yesterday proved it.

"I don't know she sent me a text saying she's going to be late but if it gets too late then she's not going to come at all." She pulls out her phone from her back pocket looking at the screen, if she's not going to be here then that gives me an easier time. "Lucky you, that means you get me as company." I put my helmet back on my head as we walking through the gates, "Really lucky me? How are you lucky it seemed like a couple of days ago you didn't want anything to do with me and now all of the sudden I'm lucky to have you as company?" She points out, damn she's fucking smart.

"I'm just doing this for the cookies." I quickly come up with something, "Mhm sure whatever you say Skylar." I just see a small smirk from the corner of her lips through my tinted visor, "No helmets in school." A security guard stops me from going inside, I groan taking my helmet off and the woman holds her hands out, "You know I don't trust you Morozan, hand it over you'll get it back at the end of the day from the office." She pushes her hands out further, this is embarrassing. I drop it in her hands rolling my eyes and I continue walking with Beans who seems to get a laugh out of this.

"What's so funny?" I ask her and she quickly shuts up but still trying to keep her smile at bay. "Nothing, but Skylar Morozan huh?" She leads me to a lunch bench by the library I hate being here because the librarian likes to spy on kids and she's been on my ass ever since I accidentally dropped a book in water. "Yes, that's my name." I sit beside her overlooking the kids in the common area with us, each of them with their own friend groups or significant others. "I like it, do you have a nickname?" She asks, she sure has a lot of questions today. "No, I don't have a nickname." I told her fiddling with the lighter in my pocket. "Can I give you one?" She leans forward trying to get in my vision.

"Nope." I said firmly, I don't want a nickname. "Okay then." She says quietly leaning back, is she upset? She better not be. I wasn't mean about it or maybe I was shit. Well, I'm not supposed to be friends with her, I'm here to do a favor then get cookies. "Where's your backpack?" She leans back forward, "Holy crap you're annoying, I forgot it okay." I snapped, good job Skylar amazing work. But she is annoying. "I'm sorry, I'll stop asking questions." She scooted away from me and I just rolled my eyes taking my phone out. I don't want to do this anymore and this wasn't even my plan, well a part of my plan. I need Dean back he gives good advice for a jackass.

The bell rang and I waited for a bit, "When do you walk to class?" I turn my head not seeing Beans anymore, I quickly got up trying to look over the sea of students walking in different directions, how could I lose her she's not even that small. I pushed my way through eventually seeing the familiar hair, "Beans what the hell?" I caught up walking by her side following the direction of the hall, I looked at her and she still didn't say anything to me, she hasn't even looked at me. Mental note, don't get upset with Beans otherwise silent treatment. Well, how the fuck am I supposed to make it up? I followed her around not caring that the teachers noticed I'm not supposed to be in their class, I tried to read Beans throughout her classes.

Observation 1: When frustrated with a question she puts her hair up in either a) a low bun or b) a high ponytail.
Observation 2: When I try to get her attention she side glances.

Observation 3: Reads a lot, even on her phone she reads a lot. Even book porn. That exists? I don't read books at all so I wouldn't know.
Observation 4: Usually the first one and the only one to answer questions that the teacher asks the class.
Observation 5: Doesn't have many friends, but has acquaintances. Carmen is her best friend and I'm still an acquaintance. We're going to have to change that.

And that's all I got, everything else was all good kid stuff. How am I supposed to turn her into me? I didn't start off as a good kid, I was a trouble maker who didn't listen to anyone unless they were Sage, Dean, or Liliana, I always listened to her.
