Following my parents' steps(SQ:The good girl is changing me)

Chapter six - Not the one to save

Blake's POV:

I don't know what to do with this girl anymore. I told her ten million times to stay away, but it looks like she won't do it. In that case, I have to do something else. Even if I tell her everything, I know that she won't do anything. Then why should I tell her? She doesn't care for me so I don't need her to mess in my life. I have enough problems without her, but I have to say that she is the biggest one. I don't know has she done this to other people, but I find it very annoying. I will never let her do what she wants or follow me everywhere. We are not friends or close people. I don't like her. Maybe if she was more normal, I was going to give her a chance, but now no. Ok, I was never going to try with her or whoever it is. I just don't want people around me who will always ask why I am like that and what did they do wrong since I am cold with them. Interrogations are not my thing and they never will be. I have to say that lately, Skyler stopped asking questions, or at least not that much. I don't think that she gave up, but at least she became less annoying. I don't know how her parents can stand her. I guess the same way my parents stand me. I am not the perfect son and I'll never be so they better give up on this idea. 

Sadly, the weekend ended and I have to go back to school. When I mentioned online school, both of my parents said big no. I guess that I don't have another choice than to go to a regular one. Why do my parents hate me? Ok, I know why they do this, but it's not working. As they can see, I still don't have friends or go out with someone. So their plan failed very badly. Socializing is not my friend. I don't see anything bad to be alone. After all, this is my life and I choose how to live it. No one can tell me anything. 

In the morning, I woke up and started getting ready. When I was done, I walked downstairs and told my parents that I am going out. I won't go to class yet. I walked into one store and bought two beer bottles. Later I went to the back of the school to drink one of them. When I arrived, I saw that Skyler was there. Does she always have to come to my places? I tried to give her a look, but I don't think that she noticed that I am there. I sat next to her and then she realized that there is a person. 

- What are you doing here?

- I didn't see you. 

- Yeah, I realized. You didn't answer my question. 

- I wanted to be alone for a while. 

- Did something happen?

- Do you care?

- No. 

- Then why are you asking? I don't need fake support, thank you very much. 

- Ok, then. 

I opened up my beer bottle and took a sip. I looked at Skyler who looked like only her body is here. I wonder what is she thinking. Probably it's not about me. I don't want another attempt of trying to make me tell her everything. Soon she walked away and I left alone. I can be late for class. I'm not in the mood to go yet. When I decide to go, the class has already started and there was only one free place. Great. I sat next to her again, but she refused to look at me. Did she finally give up? I hope so. I'm tired of always avoiding her. If she leaves me alone, this will be better. 

After this class, I went to take my things for the next one. I saw Skyler coming but didn't say anything to her. She was about to go when three girls appeared in front of her. Why do I smell drama? I have never seen these girls. Well, it's not like I have been talking with many people. Since I came here, I was trying to avoid everyone and it was almost successful. Except for Skyler. I couldn't get rid of her. I came a bit closer to see what will happen. I have never liked bullying or people who talk sh*t about others. Just because someone is different, it doesn't mean that this person is bad. I might not talk with people, but this doesn't mean that I am heartless. I just don't care for anyone. Before I did. 

- And if this is not daddy's little rich girl. 

- What do you want Missy?

- From you nothing. Don't forget that we are out of your league. 

- I have never said that. 

- Don't worry, we won't talk with you or your rich friends. 

- I don't have rich friends. 

- You don't have to lie. Everybody knows that you are one spoiled rich b*tch. 

- For a millionth time. I am not spoiled!

- Don't lie! Everybody knows that your parents are spoiling you and your brother as well. 

- No, they don't. We are normal just like you and everyone else. 

- You will never be normal or accepted. Nobody wants to be friends with a mean girl. You will always be the odd one. 

- Just because you said it, that doesn't mean that it’s true. 

- Look around. No one wants you. Otherwise, you were going to have friends. 

- If I was spoiled, I was going to wear designer clothes and to be in private school. As I see, these are cheap clothes, which I bought from the mall, and I study here with you and everyone else. 

- Try how much you want. Normal and you don't belong in one sentence. 

I might ignore people, but this is because I want. Skyler is trying to make friends, but nobody wants her and it's only because of her parents. I have no idea who are they, but I guess that they earn a good amount of money. To be honest, I don't know much about Skyler, but she doesn't look mean or spoiled. I have seen kids who scream I am rich and it's just by the way they look. 

- Why? What's wrong with me? I didn't choose where to be born, neither did my family. I don't understand what is your problem. 

- My problem is miss perfect who is trying to make every one like her and thinks that she is better than the rest. 

- I don't think that and I am far from perfect. So shut up or I will make you. 

- If you do anything to her, you are dead. - one boy said

I guess that he is Missy's boyfriend. They look like the typical golden couple. Popular and mean. Now I feel bad for Skyler. If she has to deal with this every day, I don't know how she is still not broken. I wouldn't be able to survive. 

- Like you can do something to me. 

- If you are going to threaten me with your dad, this won't work. 

- Why not? Unlike yours, mine will do everything for me. 

- You have no idea who is my dad. 

- And I don't need to know. I bet that he is a worse version of you. 

- Take your words back. 

- No, I won't. Nicky, you are not better than her. That's why you are a couple. Both of you are the same. - Skyler said and left

Poor girl. The good news is that I didn't get involved in this. Skyler walked by me and gave me a sad smile. Why do I feel sorry for her? I don't even care about her or her problems. I won't lie that I got curious about her parents. What they are doing, which makes people in school hate their daughter. Since I haven't heard of them, they are not that popular. Maybe they do something in which I am not interested. 

On the lunch break, I walked to the back of the school. I found a bag of chocolate or to say what has been left from the chocolate in my backpack. I am not very hungry so this will work. Soon Skyler came, but when she saw me, she was about to go. 

- You can stay if you want. I won't talk with you. 

- Don't steal my words.

- What?

- You know what I mean.

Not I clicked it. Very funny. 

- Do whatever you want. 

She didn't say anything and I thought that she left, but no. She came and sat next to me on the ground. I won't lie that I don't find her annoying. Maybe it's because of what has happened in the morning. Now, I see her more normal. Skyler asked many questions about me so why can't I do the same? It's not like she will tell me, but it's worth a try. 

- Can I know what happened in the morning? I mean who are these people and why do they talk to you like that.

- If I tell you, will you tell me everything about yourself?

- No, I won't do it. 

- Then why do I have to tell you? 

- I didn't expect anything else from you.

- You think the same as them, right?

- I don't know you, either your parents. How I am supposed to answer that?

- Wait, you don't know who are my parents?

- No, I don't. 

- Thank god. At least there is one normal person here. 

- Why people don't like them?

- I think that they are jealous of their success. My parents are writers. 

- Now, I understand. I don't read books. That's why I don't know them. - I said chuckling

- Good for you. Since middle school, people are chasing me. Mostly to give their book for an autograph to my parents. The other thing is that they are friends with me only to get benefits. It's not like they get them. My parents never let me spend much money on useless things. They give me twenty dollars every day, no matter that they can give me five hundred. I am happy with that because after all, I want to be normal, but how I see I'll never be. 

I didn't say anything. Mostly because I don't know what to say. I was complaining about how my best friend left me because of a girl, but now I think that my problem looks miserable compared to hers. If she hasn't told me that her family is rich, I was never going to notice it. Skyler looks like everyone here. She is a completely normal teenage girl. I don't understand why everyone hates her. Well, I did, because she was annoying. Now, I only dislike her. I could've said something in her defense, but she is not the one to save. After all, she did many things to me so now she has to defend herself. 

- You don't need to feel sorry for me. 

- I never said that I do. 

- Good. 

I looked at her and saw pain. It wasn't the normal happy annoying girl. There was someone else. Someone broke and this time it's not me. She tried to smile at me, but it didn't work. I slightly touched her hand, with my free one and felt how cold she is. I don't understand. It's warm outside for this time of the year. Later, both of us walked to class without talking. 

- Are you ok? - I asked whispering

- Yes, I'm fine. 

- You can tell me if there is a problem.

- Just like how you did. No, thank you. 

I deserved it. It's not my fault that I don't trust her. Ok, it is, but don't blame me. After what happened between my best friend and me, I don't trust girls anymore. They are the worst human beings. Except for Skyler. She is an exception. Maybe I shouldn't blame the rest of the people for what happened, but how can I be sure that this won't repeat? People always hurt others. 

After school, I went home where I spent the rest of the day. Now I am starting to think that Skyler wanted to help me because no one helped her. I know that she has parents, but the question is do they know about this. I don't think so. Otherwise, I am sure that they were going to do something. At least her dad. I saw him only once, but he looked very protective. I guess that this is why she loves him so much. It's good to know that you have someone by your side who you can trust. How I see her friend's side is the same as mine. Empty. At least we have something in common. It's not like this matter. I won't tell her anything so she better give up.
