Safe [l.h]

Chapter 2

Luke's POV

Ah shit. I hate when girls cry. I hate when anyone cries, really because I get all emotional and want to cry too.

Once I start to cry, I can't stop and I go on for hours. I sound like a howler monkey.

I hop out of the tree and take a closer look at the girl. Fuck, she's hot. No. I don't like calling girls that. She's beautiful.

" What's your name, beautiful?" I ask the girl, and offer her a hand up. She takes it and I pull her up, a little too hard I guess, because she stumbles and lands against my chest.

"S-sorry," she sobs "I'm kind of a mess right now. Uhh my name is Lucy, Lucy Greenway." She sniffs miserably one last time, and I can visibly see her pull herself together.

"Well, Lucy, its none of my business, and I know we just met, but can I ask why are you upset? Did someone harm you?" I don't like the idea of someone hurting this girl.

"Physically, no. Emotionally, yes. But I'll be OK. I'm not wasting my time on shitty people like them anymore," she replies.

"OK. I believe you. So, Lucy, do you go to Ivory or Roseville High?" 

Please say Ivory. I don't wanna be a loner at my new school.

"Ivory, are you starting tomorrow? And are you a senior or? " Thank fuck. I won't be alone. "Yeah. I'm starting tomorrow and yeah I'm a senior."

"I guess I'll see you there, Luke Hemmings."

"I guess you will, Lucy Greenway."

She has stopped crying.

The next day

Lucy's POV

I groan and roll out of bed. Today is the day I show Spencer and Alison that I am a force to be reckoned with, and if they think that they are going to get away with making a fool out me, they are wrong.

They deserve for everyone to know that they are not to be trusted. I may not be Queen Bee like Alison is, but as she is my "best friend", I have Ivory Highschool's respect.

And at least I met that Luke guy. He seems pretty nice, and he's really good looking. Speaking of looks, Spencer is gonna find out what he's missing.

I take a quick shower, and dry and curl my brown hair. I go to my wardrobe. Thank God the school got rid of the uniform. It was so itchy.

I pull out a skinny jeans, a white tank top and a pair of red high tops and my leather jacket. I don't go crazy with make up, just some mascara and lipgloss.

I'm ready.

Ready to show the world how bad Spencer and Alison are at being people.
