We were half way through the school day and after that kiss with Luke, George hasn't even attempted to speak to me. I had chosen to take a quick detour into the toilets to fix my hair and make sure I looked okay after just having PE.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sam complained, interrupting me whilst I was washing my hands in the girls toilets.

"No, what do you think you're doing?" I laughed grabbing some paper towels and drying my hands. "This is the girls toilets if you've forgotten that valuable piece of information" I said in reply to him frowning at me fixing my hair in the mirror.

"Why are you fixing your hair? For Luke?"

"No" I replied holding out the 'o', "Because I just had PE so I thought I'd fix it before I eat lunch, is that alright with you?" I laughed again as I barged past him leaving him isolated in the girls toilets.

Just as I walked out I mumbled the word 'freak' which was obviously picked up on.

"Who's a freak?" Lizzie asked joining me on the walk to the canteen, as she raised an eyebrow.

"That Sam kid" I shrugged, "He just bumped into me that's all" I smiled as we made our way through the big doors to be greeted by endless smiles of younger girls that looked up to us and a number of death glares by jealous girls our age.

As always me and Lizzie flashed our perfectly white teeth at everyone, not wanting to come across as a bitch. We both hate being known as the most popular ones because people hate you for no reason, although it does have its perks, plus Lizzie does appreciate the attention more than I do.

"Ew, there's that Sam guy" Lizzie scoffed as we sat down at the table with the boys.

"Why are you on about to him?" Ashton asked as Calum and Michael turned to see who we were on about.

"He bumped into Lottie earlier, I mean come on" Lizzie said pulling a 'duh' face before taking a sip of her drink, referring to the fact that 'people should not walk into the most popular people, you are to watch out of them.'

"Do you know him? He keeps looking" Michael said sending a frown in Sams direction.

"No I don-"

"Yeah you do?" Luke laughed interrupting me as the rest of the table instantly raised their heads and looked at me.

The thought that Luke saw me that day with them when I held a gun up to him quickly made a reappearance into my mind. He's not about to spill, is he?

"Yeah, he's in your English lit isn't he?" He asked as instantly the faces looked back down, realising there was nothing interesting to the conversation and I felt a breath of relief release from me.

"Oh yeah, but I don't know him do I" I jokingly rolled my eyes in reply.

"Alright" Luke said holding his hands up making me shake my head.

"Aren't you two cute"

"Not really" I laughed looking down to my tray of food.

"And why are we not?" Luke questioned, attempting to act offended by my words.
