When the bell drilled threw the school I internally cheered with happiness. The sports day was horrific. Me being the clumsy fool I am, fell flat on my face about five times. Most of them were caused by my untied shoe laces. I tried to concentrate hard on getting out alive. It just about motivated me enough to prevent me stabbing myself with a pencil.

I was about to start my walk home when I realised I wasn't going home. It was the moment I had been waiting for all day. Luke's magical garden. I twirled on the spot walking in the opposite direction to the crowd. I pushed through each person a smile on my face. I actually have places to go. Most of the people ignored me, some gave me strange looks. But I ignored each and every one of them. Nobody could take away this smile.

'Luke?' I called out to him as I hoped over the fence (finally). 'Luke?' There was no answer. I stood there confused for a second till my mind began to wander. Of course he must of stood me up, his fiends are probably in one of the bushes recording the entire thing. 'Hey!' I felt somebody grab my shoulder softly. Luke stood behind me. He towered above me like a giraffe. 'Hi' I answered. 'Sorry I was a bit late, Betty was having a bit of a crisis back there.' 'What happened this time? Break a nail?' 'God knows but she forced me to wait while she did something to her face.' I laughed at Luke's innocence. 'I think Betty has a crush on me, but I really can't stand her, I hate the way she plays into being the 'dumb blonde' it really irritating!' 'I know what you mean, once she asked me if a hotdog was actually made of dog, I just laughed in her face and whispered 'I'm not falling for your shit' and that shut her up' this was a true story. Betty was quite dim but she wasn't that stupid. Nearly everybody has a different identity they pretend to be at school. I prefer the more natural people, like Ashton. I don't understand why somebody would want to change themselves just to be popular. Some are willing to ruin others lives in the process. We have had multiple people leave the school over the years, I don't blame them. It all started after this girl called Merida killed herself because of bullies. Nobody really wanted there kids to stay here after that, well the parents that cared. Ever since then the kids who made her suicidal get a strange high off of ruining other pupils. That's Luke's groups job. Destroy what is already broken.
