Chapter 5: Library

Luke

"Milly, What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I yell at Emma's best friend, once Emma had left.

"What? I can't just tell her!"

"Yes you can! Are you like ashamed of him or something!?"

"No! I'm not ashamed of him, but Emma makes me feel like I should be."

"That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard Milly. If you actually liked Ashton so much, you would be able to tell your best fucking friend!"

"Luke it's one thing to tell her that we are dating, but we have been together for two months. She will actually strangle me."

"That sounds like a you problem."

"Alright...Thanks for your advice Luke." she says walking away.

"Tell her Milly! or I will."

"You wouldnt!" She said turning back around.

"Watch me."

"Ok first off. Fuck you. Second...give me a day. I'll tell her."

"Alright. You need to tell her. Its not fair to her. I mean she is the only person in this shcool who's completely oblivious to the fact that you are together."

"Wait...you actually give a shit about people other than yourself?"

"Haha very funny."

"Alright now go cover for me. Tell her I'm in the office okay? Please do me a favor and keep her away from the library after school."

"Why would I help you?"

"Luke...your best friend is my boyfriend, and if you don't help me, I will make sure he makes your life a living hell." She smirks.

"She won't be in the library. Goodbye milly." I walk towards the cafeteria.

Emma's POV

I don't know what Luke and Milly were fighting about but that didn't matter to me. Although the fact that I was now alone in the lunch rooms as a little annoying. I hate being alone at school, because when I'm alone at school I can feel everyone staring at me and calling me a loner. Suddenly, Luke walks through the doors. Thank god. He makes his way over to me and takes a seat across from me.

"Where's Milly?" I say acting as though I didn't just see them together.

"Oh she had to meet with her counselor in the office."

"Oh." I said. I sat there silently picking at the the salad in front of me.

"Hey...you okay?" He says taking a bite of my food. Sure Luke you can have some of my food. that's cool.

"Yeah." I sit silently once again. "Hey let's go to the library after school." Luke's eyes open so wide I actually thought his eyes were gonna like fall out of his head.

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? To spy on Milly and Dickhead."

"Spy? What are we in like 3rd grade all of a sudden?" He laughs at me.

"Ugh shut up you know what I mean."

"Emma they are studying. We are gonna get there and we are going to watch them read flash cards."

"Oh please. Luke if you don't think that there is something going on between them, then you are absolutely insane."

"Emma I can promise you that there is nothing going on between them."

"Ok well then there should be no problem with us going to the library after school."

"Em I can't I'm busy."

"Bullshit you are never busy. We are going you have no choice."

"Ugh I hate you sometimes you know that right?" He rolls his eyes at me.

"Yeah I know" I smile. Then the bell rings. Gross. Two more periods. I can do this. I mean it's just trig and then history. Shit. I can't do this.

Trig.I sit in class and listen to the teacher drag on and on about how to solve the same problems we did yesterday. Finally waiting until the end of class to give us the homework that he expects us to actually do. It's not gonna happen Mr. Shea. Sorry but I don't want to do it and I know that he doesn't want to sit there and grade it.

History. Ms. Demore is actually my favourite teacher. Mostly because she doesn't really give a shot about what we do in her class. That and she doesn't give homework. Thank god. I mean why would she. First off, what's the point. Second, she's 26, and what kind of 26 year old wants to stay home and grade papers. Eventually the bell decides to save me from mentally jumping off a cliff. I grab my phone and text Luke.

To: Pucas Robert
Come to my locker. xo

From: Pucas Robert
Hold on I will be there in a sec

A few minutes later Luke shows up at my locker.

"Can we go get Starbucks before we go stalk." he whines.

"No."

"Please I'm thirsty." He gives puppy dog eyes as I pull out my water bottle and hand it to him. He shakes his hair and grabs my hand. "Let's go it's on me." he drags me to the car.

"Luke what about the library!?"

"Starbucks is literally 3 minutes away Emma we will still have time." I give in and go to starbucks. we come back about 10 minutes later.

We walk towards the library and open the doors. We walk around looking at every table and they are no where to be seen.

"Emma I tell you wherever they are we are literally going to find milly reading text books to Ashton." Thats when we saw them together in the back of the room.

"Luke...She's not reading books." My expression is blank. What the hell. What a sight to see. My best friend pinned against the wall by none other than the person I hate the most. I turn around and sit down trying to process what I just saw.

"Emma are you okay?" Luke says putting his hand on my back.

"You knew didn't you?" I brush his hand off. Still annoyed at the fact that she hasn't noticed me here yet.

"Yeah...I knew."
