Chapter 10

Lukes pov

I can't sleep at all tonight. I lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I can't stop thinking about Julie. I don't know why but every time our hands or arms brush past each other, I get this feeling of warmth that shoots up my spine. Maybe it's just the excitement of meeting new people.

I pick up my phone and check the time. Quarter past twelve. I have to go and see Julie.
It's the only way I can get her off my mind.

I hop on my bike and ride to Julies house. When I get there, I find her window and collect some small stones to throw.

I walk over to her window and see that she's already awake so I start climbing up the side of her house.

"It's locked. Damn it" I say to myself. I think Julie heard me because she starts walking towards me.

She has puffy eyes. Has she been crying?

Julies pov

I can't sleep. The only thing I can think of is Luke.

I can't stop thinking about him. Every time we look into each other's eyes, I feel safe. I can tell he's going to be a great friend.

I decide to have a look through some old boxes in my closet to take my mind off him.

As I'm looking through the boxes, I find some of my Moms old things.

I can't control my tears at this point. She was my best friend and I miss her so much. I don't know how I've gone this long without a hug from her. This thought makes me bawl even more.

I'm sitting on my bed, crying into my Moms old sweatshirt when I hear a noise come from my window.

"It's locked, damn it" I hear someone say.

I slowly look over and see Luke trying to get into my house.

I walk over to him to unlock my window.

"Luke! What are you doing here? Are you okay?" I say.

"I'm fine, I just couldn't get to sleep. Are you okay though Jules?" He says.

"Oh, um, I, I-" I stutter. I can't control it, I feel my cheeks start to drip with water.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, I'm here for you" he says.

He cares?

"You can talk to me if you want, if you don't then I'll stay until you feel better" he says, sitting down with me crying into his chest.

We sit there in comforting silence for a while.

"Hey Luke?" I finally speak up.

"Yeah Jules?" He says.

"I'm gonna go to sleep now. I've got to get some for school"

"Okay, I might see you tomorrow. Goodnight" He says.

I don't want him to leave. Somethings tells me to ask him to stay.

"Wait Luke. Can you stay? I don't want to be alone" a wave of confidence crashes over me.

"Sure Jules" he says. I think I see a slight smile on his face but I ignore it.

I lay down in my bed as he takes his shirt off and places it underneath my bed.

"Hey! My eyes are up here princess" he says, chuckling.

I didn't even notice I was staring. There's that nickname again!

"Come here" he says, holding his arms out for me to snuggle into.

I do just that.

7am

I wake up to the sound of pots and pans being banged together over my head.

"Ahh dad!" I say.

Shit! Luke is still here! I forgot my dad was home! Wait Luke is still in my bed, and shirtless!

"Julie Molina, would you care to tell me what a shirtless boy is doing in your bed!" He says.

I think this wakes Luke up because he looks up from my pillow and straight at my dad.

"Dad, Luke is my friend and he was comforting me last night because I found some of moms old things and I was upset!"

"I'll let you off this one time. Only because he was helping you!" My dad says. "Young man, please put a shirt on and get out of my house"

"Yes sir" Luke says, sitting up and getting out of bed.

He soon disappeared out of the house.

I got up and got ready for school and left to meet with Flynn.

"Hey disappointment" she says.

"Hey underachiever" I reply.

And with that, we see three boys dressed in caps and sunglasses with baggy clothes on walk through the halls, towards the office.

"Hello boys, we've been expecting you!" The secretary says.

Flynn and I talk in the hallway for a bit until we hear the secretary say "all sorted. You boys can have a tour of the school today. Given the circumstances, you can pick someone to give you the tour. I assume you would like Julie Molina?"

"Yes please" one of the boys say. "Great. I'll go and get her" the secretary says.

"Bye I guess Flynn" I say laughing.

"Ah Ms. Molina, just who I was looking for! Could you please come to the office. We would like you to show three new students around" the secretary says. "Okay" I say.

"Hey boys" I say, entering the office.

"Hey Jules" Luke says.

"You guys know you can take off those ridiculous disguises right?" I say chuckling.

"Fine" they say, taking off the hats and glasses.

As we walk through the halls, everyone is taking pictures and videos of the boys. It drives me crazy but I can't do anything about it.

I show the boys all around the school until we finally get to the gym where a game of dodgeball is taking place.

"We have some new students I see. Julie would you and your friends like to join in this game of dodgeball?" Coach Barron says.

"Boys?" I say looking at them.

"Always" Luke and Reggie say.

"Great news! Julie and the brunette one, join team a. Blondie and the one with black hair, join team b" says coach.

We start playing dodgeball and just as I'm about to get hit, Luke sticks out his arm and catches the ball. He then proceeds to throw it back at the person that threw it at me and knocks them out of the game.

"Good skills Luke!" Coach says.

"Yeah thanks" He says, smiling.

(A/N: I have no idea why I ended it here but oh well!)

(Here's a bit more Juke for you guys! I know there hasn't been much relynn or alby in this book yet but I plan for there to be lots of them both!)
