Chapter 3
Luke’s POV
When I woke up from bed, I showed before throwing on the same thing I have been wearing for the past week. It didn’t smell that bad so I guess it is fine. I then smeared some eyeliner around my eye as I always did so I looked punk rock.
After that I went out to get some breakfast. I was waiting in the queue for me to order my usual chocolate chip muffin and hot chocolate when Tom and his ‘gang’ entered the place. Maybe if I don’t make eye contact they would just ignore me. Please just ignore.
But then of course the girl of the century had to walk in. I couldn’t help but stare at Scarlett as she followed the group like a lost puppy.
She was wearing tight black skinny jeans and a white woollen sweater which looked horrible and yet she still managed to look the most beautiful in the room.
My daydream was cut off when Tom decided to stand in front of my, blocking my view of Scarlett. Just great. What does this bloke want now? I wasn’t eve doing anything.
“What part of don’t stare at my girlfriend did you not understand?”
“The ‘your girlfriend’ part. I don’t need to understand it anyway. She won’t be yours much longer.”
“And why is that?”
“Because you don’t deserve her.”
“And you do? Please don’t make me laugh. You will never ever be good enough to even be able to clean her shit let alone date her. What bullshit,” he laughed in my face.
I just ignored him because I know he is wrong. Scarlett is as good as mine. He is just too stupid to understand. Deep down I know she likes me. He and his satanic group of his is probably using a voodoo doll on him or something along those lines.
I quickly got my muffin and drink before heading to the gym to meet coach. I hope he hasn’t backed out on trying to make me seem ‘sane’.
“Hemmings, you’re late.”
“Sorry coach. Stupid Tom.”
“Why do you keep getting involved with those boys? They are dangerous. Can’t you just stay clear of them?”
“I don’t voluntarily get involved with them coach. He just picks on me.”
“Tom doesn’t pick on people for no reason Luke. What did you do to him?”
“I did absolutely nothing to him. He just hates me because he knows it is just a matter of time before I get Scarlett.”
“Scarlett Jackson? What do you want with her?”
“She is mine coach. You don’t get it.”
“Oh no, I get it. You like her don’t you? And she thinks you are a freak because you keep running your mouth and saying things you shouldn’t. That is why she doesn’t like you.”
“No. She likes me. She just won’t admit it because her boyfriend is the devil’s spawn.”
“No Luke. If you want to fix how people look at you, you have to realise that people look at you differently. And they don’t know you have a disorder so to them you are just plain rude and overconfident.”
“But I’m not trying to be.”
“I know Luke. That is what I am trying to help you with. You need to be able to understand how people feel just by the look on the face and you have to know how to react. If you really want Scarlett, who thinks you’re a freak by the way, you have to show her how you feel inside. What are the things you have been saying to her?”
