Shadows | Muke Clemmings

Chapter 14

It's funny really.

Everyone knows Luke.

Everyone.

And so the second he got into a relationship, you'd think everyone would be talking about it, right?

Wrong.

Sure, Niall was pretty pissy about it and gave us hassle, but no one else seemed to bat an eyelid.

Well, we kept our distance from others, of course, but even so, we walked to classes together and shit like that, but no one cared. Our school was t really against gays, apart from the odd one or two like Niall.

In all honesty, everything was perfect!

Fuck, spoke too soon.

"Please Miss!" Luke begged, literally getting in his knees.

"I'm sorry, you've been assigned with Niall and that's how it is, you had your chance to speak up in class if you wanted to work with Michael but you didn't. Now, I have to get on with my lesson so please take your seat Mr Hemmings. Michael, you can work with Garrett for the assignment as he was also absent for that lesson."

I frowned and sighed, taking a seat as close to Luke as possible. He had to sit next to Niall, as we all had to sit with whoever we were doing the assignment with.

It was weird really, because in our "date"... Wait, was it a date? I'll call it a date. On our date, Niall was so against me and Luke being gay, being mean to us about it, and in the corridors, he was mean to me about it, but with Luke, he was so flirty and clearly made Luke feel awkward by being too... Touchy.... I didn't like that.

"M-michael?" Garrett mumbled. I gave him a stern look as he continued, "A-are you gonna help or...?"

I frowned at him before turning back to Luke.

When I turned back to Luke, it seemed as though him and Niall were talking more casually, probably talking about the actual assignment.

Wait... Casual? Wtf?

The bell blared out, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Okay class, I'm expecting the assignments to be done for 2 weeks today! You better start cracking if you haven't done so already!"

I stood up, running to Luke, clinging to his arm and glaring at Niall. He scoffed before biting his lip and staring longingly at Luke. "Hey, we can work in the song at my house after school today at my place. Wait outside he shook gates for me." He winked before wandering off.

"Okay, what the fuck happened." I said, turning to face him and giving him a long hard look.

"Nothing. Okay?" He sighed, avoiding my gaze and attempting to walk passed me.

I carefully grabbed his wrist, "babe?" I whispered.

"I gotta go..."
