Okay I'll be honest here, I was quite terrified to go back to school on Monday. I knew that when I walked down those halls I'd hear people talking about Luke and I and how his friends walked in on us.

There's no doubt in my mind that Michael would be the one spreading the rumors, although all he speaks of is propaganda.

A little bit of truth stacked between a bunch of bullshit lies.

The only reason why I don't kick the shit out of Michael is because it's ruin my reputation and it'd make me seem like a bitch, I'm not the one to go around and hurt people... That's why there was gossip invented.

Plus I'd be a hypocrite if I called out Michael on his propagandist ways, it's not like I don't go around talking crap about girls I don't like and making them feel like crap so they can't get any sort of me. Either way the underclassmen wouldn't stand a chance against me.

Faith Mason, Co-Captain of the Panthers Cheerleading Team for Faith Hill High School, Class President, Not to mention ranking top 15 in the schools highest test scores.

I've built myself up to the top through these last three years and I'm not in any place to let anyone take this status away from me. Not Luke, Not Ashton, Not Michael, and Not, definitely not Calum.

That boy has got some hell of a jaw and what wondrous biceps, I'm not joking when I say that I'd let Calum punch me in the face repeatedly for free.

Only problem is that I'm stuck with sex crazed, clumsy, dorky, hormonal on and off, anger issued, nerd of a boy who is named Luke Hemmings.

Now he may seem like a dork and yes I know I just said he was, but when he's determined and angry, it's fucking hot. Plus he's extremely strategic so that comes in handy when he's running from the law.

I swear he's retarded sometimes. His family has all this money and he basically lives on his own yet he feels the need to go round and constantly rob stores.

Funny thing though, is that when he does occasionally rob Tiffany&Co. It's always around Christmas, my birthday, or Valentine's Day.. and you can bet your bottom dollar that it's me who gets to flash the whole school with my beautiful new diamond studded earrings.

He's a weird one that Hemmings boy, but then again- I am the one who keeps falling in love with him.

It's complicated really. I talk crap about him constantly and then he yells at me calling me an idiot and shit. Then next thing you know we're practically dry humping each other. There's no in between and I'm honestly not sure if we'll ever be able to just be in a committed relationship with each other. But I doubt it'll ever happen so why waste my brain on it right?

I hop up the stairs skipping every other step to Luke's room. I open the door and grab my backpack from the side of his bed and begin packing my belongings in. The door creaks open and I jump a bit, turning around to find Calum looking quite shy and twiddling his thumbs. I completely turn toward him and cross my arms raising an eyebrow indicating to him that I don't have time for a long story of his bullshit.

"Okay okay" he stammers, shifting his weight o his left foot and then his right "We all think you should stop seeing Luke, he easily gets off task when you guys are together and it really interferes with our business"

"What business, your thieving business?" I snap back now completely irritated by his presence.

Although he's intolerably striking I find it easy to become annoyed with him.

Calum gives me a cold glare and I roll my eyes, tapping my foot impatiently.

"Look all I'm trying to say is that if you could tone it down a bit and try to keep him more focused, than maybe we'll all be able to tolerate your existence and constant need for reassurance that everyone is under your command" he says harshly and honestly I couldn't help but feel like he was a little bit right.

"Yeah fine, whatever. I'm on board as long as Luke keeps up with his PDA in school. I really need to stir some drama in school. Everyone's boring and it's making me sick. I need some real action" I say to him and he nods attentively.

"Well you know that if you ever need down action you can just call us up, it's not as hard as you'd think babe" Calum says as he walks back toward the door wining at me and smirking a bit before walking out and shutting the door.

He really needs to stop making me feel so submissive. Every time he makes a valid point I can't help but feel like I've gotten weaker.

I pack up the rest of my backpack and sling it over my shoulder after zipping it up. Trotting down the stairs I fling my backpack towards the front room and happily skip into the kitchen. Luke is standing behind the counter as the other three are sitting on the bar stools lined along the island.

I walk back Luke and stand in my tippy toes trying to his his neck, Sadly I'm too short, so I prop myself up onto the counter and wrap my legs around his torso and sweetly kiss his lips before crawling back onto the counter. I hadn't even noticed that he was talking to the boys. I was so busy talking to Calum and thinking about how hot Luke looked in sweats with the waistband really low that I hadn't noticed he was conversing with Michael and Ashton.

After I move away from Luke the two groan in annoyance and I take that as my cue to walk over back into the living room and turn on the TV.
