Chapter 8
The ride back to school was silent; the only words spoken were him asking if I was in pain every now and then. My heart felt like it was beating a thousand times a second, and I'm sure Luke could tell there was something on my mind.
"Alright, what's up? You've been silent this whole time, is something wrong?" Luke asked
"No. You weren't talking either. There's no reason to talk, you're my teacher!" I exclaimed, a sharp tone in my voice.
"I was just asking. And err, about what happened. That doesn't mean things need to be awkward between us. We have an entire year of school, let's just let it go. Ok?" Luke asked kindness in his eyes.

"Wait?! What. I'm supposed to stay at your house?!" I shrieked, letting the words he just said sink in.
"Umm, yeah. For the rest of the week."
"But its Monday!" I gasped,
