Wrapped Around Your Finger

Chapter 5: Misunderstandings

Ana's POV

"Ana will you be my fake girlfriend?" Michael asked me. "Ewwww what the fuck Clifford? We are like brother and sister. That is practically incest!" I said dramatically. "Pleaaaasee! It'll make Sam jealous. I kind of like her she's cute. Plus it'll make Luke jealous too!" Michael smoothly mentioned that last part as I rolled my eyes. "I don't lie Michael. Plus I have nothing against that Sam girl. I mean she must be nice since she's Luke's girlfriend and all....she's also really pretty." I told him with a sad tone in my voice. I was pretty much devastated when Michael told me Luke had a girlfriend. I mean at first I just thought that he'd never like me, but it is a different pain when you know someone else has taken the person you like away and you have no chance. I slammed my locker door and headed toward the class I had come to dread the most, Calculus. Don't get me wrong Mrs. Hemmings was by far my most favorite teacher, but I just did not enjoy seeing her son in class as much as she did. I stared at my paper for a bit as I did not know what to do when I had already finished. Math had always been my best subject. I had always loved all my math teachers and I was still contemplating if that was the reason I loved Mrs. Hemmings or maybe it was the fact that she had given birth to the boy who currently had my heart. I sighed and grabbed a book from my backpack so I could read to pass the time. She started handing back our assignments that were graded and I saw I had scored fairly high in all of them. She looked at me proudly and told me to meet her after class. She began our new lesson as I wondered what she could possibly want to discuss with me. I grabbed my bags as the bell rang and waited for Mrs. Hemmings to approach me. Luke passed by me and gave me a smile. I gave a small smile back even though I was hurting inside. Mrs. Hemmings gave him and I a look, but I could tell I was the only one who noticed and gave a little blush. "It's okay if you like my son Ana. He is a handsome boy. You are also a beautiful and bright girl I can tell why he seems so interested in you." My eyes went wide and then I replied, "Oh no Mrs. Hemmings I dont like Luke. He's just... polite. Plus i know for a fact that he doesn't like me." I figured Luke's mom just didnt know about him and Sam. "Oh my mistake then. Anyways, Ana you have been doing so well on these papers and I'd like to ask you to join the math team." I looked at her in a bit of state of shock. I mean I had good grades at school, but I never had given anything but soccer a shot. "Sure Mrs. Hemmings, just as long as it doesn't interfer with soccer. I just found out this morning that I made captain and I do not want my teammates to think that they are not my first priority." I told her with a wide grin as I was super proud of myself for making team captain. "Of course we will try to work around your schedule. Now hurry you do not want to be late to your next class." I nod my head and walk out the door to my Biology class. I glanced over at Luke and Sam as I took my seat between Michael and Calum. "Have you been thinking about my offer?" Michael whispered so only Calum and I heard. I rolled my eyes then Calum put an arm around me and said, "She's mine!!" Which caused me to smile and laugh. I loved my two dorks they always knew how to make a girl's day much better.

Sam's POV

After a painfully awkward english class in which I could feel Michael burning holes in the back of my head the bell rang and I sprang up. I raced out the door to find Luke. The plan had been that I would tell Michael that I lied and get it all over with. However, that didnt work out. I couldn't bring myself to speak he was so intimidating. "Luke I'm sorry I couldn't do it. Not alone." he gave me weak smile. I knew he was tryng hard to put up with me. "It's okay. Let's tell them next period okay? Together." i nodded. Luke had decided that he actuall kind of liked the soccer player. That's how I referred to her anyway. "She's really not that bad, Sam." He had told me last night. "She's not like the other athletic kids you know?" I shook my head. All athletes were basically the same. All they cared about were sports, but he was my best friend. If he liked her I was obligated to help get her. Plus this could win me brownie points with the whole Michael thing. We took our normal seats waiting for Anna to get in the room. She entered and shot us a look. She looked sad and a little annoyed. "Luke maybe we shouldn't do it right now..." I said hesitantly watching her. She sat between Calum and Michael and Michael whispered something to her. All of a sudden Calum wrapped his arms around Anna and pulled her close. "She's mine!" he yelled and she laughed. I looked at Luke who watched with a certain look of pain in his eyes. I looked back to see Anna place head on Calum's shoulder and he kept his arm around her. "How about we wait a few days." Luke said under his breath. I gave him a questioning look. He kept his eyes on Anna. "Luke..." he put his hand over mine and his blue eyes were pleading. It was the I relaized what he was asking. "You wanna fake it?" I asked him my voice dripping with uncertanty. "Fake it until ypu make it right babe?" He's called me babe before, but i felt a hidden meaning under his words. I rolled my eyes and I intertwined my hand whith his own. "You're lucky your not ugly, fake boyfriend." He smiled and hugged me. I glanced back at the other table. Anna wasn't looking at us, but Michael was. He looked jelous. This could work for me too i fanally decided. I snuggled closer to Luke and smiled. Luke and I were cuddly best friend in private, so this wasnt awkward. However cuddling in public. That was a new one. I knew we could pull off the cute couple easy. I also knew we were in for a shit load of drama. "Who knew you were so sneaky Hemmings?" I said pushing him playfully. He leaned in really close, "I learned from the best." he winked and i giggled. To anyone outside of ojr conversation we wouldve just looked like a cuddly couple which was exactly what were going for. Within the hour the entire school knew. Luke Hemmings was dating the emo punk girl with pink hair and bad attitude. Samantha Walker was dating the punk dream boat with eyes bluer than the ocean. Everything was gling perfectly. Until I walked past Mrs. Hemmings class room holding her son's hand. "I need to see you two. Imeadiatly." Ah, shit...
