Bad Habit

c h a p t e r 8: His

        Luke and I spent that entire weekend together. Now just let me say that again, and I emphasize, entire weekend together.

        Ugh. I don't know what's wrong with me. He's probably just going to play me like any other girl. Literally just a week ago, we despised each other. Now we just can't keep away. The smell of him makes my heart stop. The sound of his voice makes my smile go past it's limit. His touch makes the butterflies in my stomach do somersaults.

I feel like no matter what he'll do to me, I wouldn't want to leave.

He's my bad habit.

        It's Monday, whoop.

        I woke up and tried to dress cute. Black skater skirt, tights, boots and a patterned crop top. Over that I wore a denim jacket. I lined my eyes and wore light lipstick. I looked like God mixed Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner together because he was bored.

        I walked to school with a smile plasted on my face. I was in a good mood and felt like the day was going to be great. I entered the building, again, dirty looks. They can think what they want to about me, I really do not have a care in the world about them today.

        I got to my locker and grabbed my books. "Hey stranger!" I turned around. It was Calum and Ash. "Hey guys! How are you?" I smiled. They ignored my question. "Damn Edwards, are you still in there?" Ashton laughed. I didn't know what to say. "He meant you look really nice." Calum laughed. "Oh why thank you." I curtsied. "Luke will surely say something about how hot you lo-" Ashton stopped talking after Calum punched his arm. "Ow." Ashton glared at Cal.

"Sorry lad, you know she's Luke's girl, so stop flirting."

"Who said I was Luke's girl?" I asked.

"Luke." Calum smirked.

        In homeroom Luke sat next to me. "Hey." I said smiling up at his flawless features. "Hey." He smiled back. If this guy bites his lip, I swear I'm gonna cut someone. He bit his lip. Ugh. So cute. My heart is dying. I started to get squeamish. He just laughed and started acting like he needed to listen to what Mr. Buckley was saying. "Elli, pay attention, this will be helpful to our future." Our? I smiled looking at my lap. "Our future, Luke?" He looked at me realizing what he had said. "Pay attention." He laughed. "I am paying attention." I stared at him. "To the lesson, Edwards." He looked down at me and smiled. "Lucas! Ellicity! Luke, I understand the non-stop talking, but Ellicity, I expected better from you." Mr. Buckley barked. "But we were talking about the lesson!" Luke protested. "Well I don't know that. So be quiet."

        Detention after the bell. Fantastic. I walked through the now-empty-halls to the bleak classroom. It was divided by social groups; jocks and slutty cheerleaders in one corner, future dropouts in the other. It was relatively loud in the room because the teacher didn't look like he cared about the rules, and just played Angry Birds on his phone. In the middle of the whole mess, sat 5 Seconds of Summer. I walked over to them.

        "Hey, I didn't know you guys had detention too?" I asked the other boys, talking a seat on Luke's desk. "Yeah we heard about Mr. Buckley and wanted to accompany you while you were here." Michael said. "Yeah you can't be too careful, we thought the teacher for today was Mrs. Stanley, she's worse than Lucifer himself." Calum giggled. "What did you do to end up here?" I asked them, playing with Luke's quiff. "I wrote penis on the chalkboard." Ashton admitted. We all started laughing. "I made out with Tessa." Calum smiled proudly. "It's about time, you've been crushing on her since grade six." Michael laughed nudging his friend's arm. "Shut up man." He laughed. "What about you, Mikey? What terrible crime did you commit?" I asked Michael. "I walked up to the front of the class and asked who wanted me for 50 pounds." He started giggling hysterically. Tessa walked in the room. "Hello boys." She smiled at Calum and walked towards him. He was leaning on a desk. "Hey." She bit her lip and walked in between his legs. "Hey gorgeous." He smiled down to her and pulled her into a hug. "Get a room." Luke scoffed. "Or be like you, and get a bathroom." Tessa smirked looking at me and Luke.
