Nate grabbed Toby by his shirt, slammed him against the wall, and walked away with his fists in balls.

Jake’s POV:

 Jake never like to admit it, but Sky was his favorite sibling. They just had a bond that the other kids just never had.

“What’s up?” Sky asked him.

“How are you holding up?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well you’re starting school Monday at a new school where you’ll know almost no one. A few weeks into the term, may I remind you. And your mother did just try to kill you.”

“I don’t mind being the new kid. It’s a chance at a clean slate. It’s Lexx I’m worried about. She doesn’t really do too well with new people. And about Sarah, don’t worry about it.”

“Oh so she’s Sarah now. What happened to ‘she’s your mother too, you know’?”

“You were right.”

“How does your pride feel?” Jake teased. You could see the laughter in his icy blue eyes.

Sky hated to admit she was wrong, especially to Jake. Because, quite frankly, she wasn’t wrong often.

“Shut up.”

“Want help?” Jake asked, gesturing to her work in progress of a room.

“Thanks.”

Jake picked up and a brush, and she picked up a sponge. Together they set off to finish painting Sky’s room.

For as long as Sky could remember, when people thought of her the first words that came to mind were: tomboy, nerd, freak, loner, and loser. Now that she was the new kid, she could finally change all that. And Sky was excited.

 It being late September, the warm summer months were quickly turning to fall, which would quickly become winter. Sky knew the weather changed quickly there, so she decided on a fitted pair of faded blue jeans, and a fitted white t-shirt that came to a stop just above the waist of her jeans. After brushing the knots out of her straight, shoulder length, jet black hair and putting on a pair of black converse, she grabbed her bag and a fitted blue, zip-up hoodie with a white stripe down the side, and headed out the door.

She fished the keys to her dad's old blue 1967 D-100 Dodge pickup truck out of the front pocket of her backpack. Hopping into the front seat, she put the key in the ignition. But before she even had a chance to start the car, her two olders brothers jumped in beside her.
