My Secret, My Bully, My Mates (skylar) by Miss l Free novel Chapter 153

Chapter 0153

“You do realize the target you put on our backs right?

I don’t know how the family stuff works, but they are going to make Sierra's and my life a living hell."

“Let’s be honest, you can take them all blindfolded with one arm tied behind your back, but at least you would have a reason to fight back. I also believe you are currently working your way through hell, I don’t think any of them could actually make what you are going through worse. She can't get to you, and she knows, or at least grasps, what you mean to us. She’s not dumb enough to go after you again.” He raises his eyebrows letting me know he and Sierra discussed me at length.

I found that making up with, or I guess, acknowledging Mateo and Sam was more punishment for the other three than ignoring them all. I have never heard more growls and incoherent mumbling from any of them before. I still wasn’t saying much to anyone, they all still have to figure out I’m nota china doll, but that won’t be a reality until we are all in an actual situation that involves me saving myself and not needing them in the slightest. I still chose the corner table at lunch to just have some breathing room. I have to figure out this balance between socializing and having personal space. It feels like | went from one end of the spectrum to the other and then back again. It gives me a headache.

I’m completely lost in my own thoughts when a flash of yellow sits down beside me, Marnie, followed by Jeanie in bright blue and they both lean into me, but looking around skittish like they don’t want to get caught talking to me. Which is probably true.

“We cannot fail the patrol thingy. What do we need to do? Today was awful, but I can't have a bad report and if Kaley’s dad can’t rig it for us, you have to help us.” Marnie’'s eyes look almost wild in her real panic.

And they keep looking around to see who’s watching us, not actually making eye contact with me.

“Umm."
