The Wait

Chapter 16

I got to school with Maria and we went and hung out in the court yard untill classes start.

"Are you excited for tomorrow?" Maria asked with a small smirk.

"More Nervous than excited," I stated.

"Really? Why?" She asked.

"Why do you think?" I teased,"I'm going to be tutoring the guy I've liked since 8th grade."

"I know," Maria said, " I get it."

"But I've just been praying that it goes well," I said.

"Thats good, Maggie.Thats what you should be doing," Maria said with a soothing voice.

I smiled back.

I'm so glad to have a friend that understands me and agrees with what I'm doing.

"Maria?" I said.

"Yeh," Maria answered looking up from her lap.

"Would you pray for me; like me and Luke?" I asked.

"Maggie, I already have been," She said with laugh.

"Oh ok," I said with a giggle.

"Everyday I do," Maria said cheerfully.

"Well thanks," I said with a big smile.

Ring ring ring ring!

"Oh,thats the bell. See you after class," Maria said getting up from the bench we were sitting at.

"See ya," I said getting up too.

I walked down the long hallways as normal to Social Studies class.

I turned down the junior's hallway because its a short cut to my class.

I saw Luke walking to his class with some of his friends.

Today he is wearing Parkdale High sweat pants with a blue Nike t-shirt.

His hair is a little more grown out then normal too.

As I was walking behind him the hallway soon got super crowed because someone dropped their books or something.

I took out my phone and it is five minutes pass 8:00. My class started already.

I decied to squeeze between Luke and his friend Mark because they were kinda scooted away from each other and I'm late for class.

As I tried to scoot through, I notice I couldn't fit in between them and I bumped into Luke.

"Opps, sorry," I said almost in a little kid voice.

As you can she I get kinda nervous around him.

"Its fin- Oh hey Maggie," Luke said relizing it was me.

"Hi," I said with a cute little smile.

Everytime I talk to him it makes me so happy.

"Is it okay if I talk to you real quick?" Luke asked biting his lip.

I looked at the time again; its 8:10.

"I don't know if I have time. Im late for class," I stated.

"It will be fast, I promise," He said.

I thought for a second.

"Ok," I finally let out.

"Nice," Luke hissed.

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the side of the hallway because its still super crowded for some odd reason.

I looked up at Luke and he had a worried look on his face. I wonder whats wrong.

"Listen, I'm sorry to cancel on the first time but I'm not going to be able to make it to tutoring tomorrow," Luke explained.

"What?" I screamed in my head.

I cant believe he's canceling on the first meeting.

I should have know he was going to do this. He probally has dumb football practice or something like that.

I shouldn't have been so dumb and thought he was going to go through on this.

I gave a sad expression on my face.

He must of noticed because he said,"Im so sorry! I didn't know I had football practice tomorrow."

"Its fine, I'll see you later," I said turning around and finish walking to class.

I tried so hard to hold back my tears.

I arrived at class at 8:20! Twenty minutes late!

I sat in class not being able to concentrate on what the teacher was saying because I was thinking about Luke.

Hey guys! Hope you liked this chapter. Tell me guys if you want to see what Luke is supposed to look like. I have a picture and I can put it in the media.
