From Darkness We Rise

An Old Friend?

I spent the rest of the period avoiding the warm glances the strange guy thew at me, and instead worked on my latest art piece. I was in my own little world once my pencil touched the thick paper off my sketch book. It seemed as if it flowed out of me and into the pencil as I sketched the beautiful outline of a young girl. I bit my bottom lip in concentration as I sketched the perfect outline of her pouty lips and slender nose, shading around all the highlights of her delicate features. I exhaled slowly as my sketching became faster, the symphony rising along with it. I smiled and laid down my pencil as the final notes were played finishing the sweet music that filled my head as I drew my worries away. I had just closed my sketch book and placed it in my pale lavender backpack, when the bell rang dismissing the eager class. I smiled to myself, slinging my backpack lightly over my shoulder.

"Hey wait up, V!"

I turned around in surprise as the boy ran full on into me, sending the both of us crashing to the floor. I groaned as my head connected to the cold tiles sending a wave of pain through me, not to mention the weight of the guy already crushing me. He quickly crawled off of me tugging me to my feet. Once I was standing upright, he gave me a cute nervous laugh as he rubbed his neck in embarrassment.

"S-sorry!" He blurted his face turning beet red.

I couldn't help it, I burst into a fit of giggles. He looked art me confused but joined in trying to ease the tension that was hanging low in the air.

"Hey, don't worry about it! Now we're even!" I smiled blowing a long strand of curly brown hair out of my flushed face.

"I'm glad that's over. But violet," he came forward and wrapped his arms tightly around me, snuggling his face into the crook of my neck sending a burning sensation down my spine. I squeaked in surprise and lightly patted his back unsure how to respond to his sudden outburst. He pulled back holding me lightly by the shoulders.

"How are you? I've searched everywhere for you, Gosh it's been forever. Did you miss me? I defiantly missed you, bab-" I cut him of abruptly shoving him away and placing a hand lightly over his mouth.

His eyes widened in surprise but he listened.

"Look I don't know who you are or how You even know me, but please just...Don't call me babe. I don't even know your name, yet you're acting as if we've known each other forever."

He flinched as his eyes saddened. He removed my hand from his mouth and pulled me by my arm down the hall. I gasped in surprise as he tugged me along desperately. What surprised me even more was when he held out his hand, stopping everyone. Like legit, everyone stopped in place and stopped what they were doing. He ran forward pulling me along with him until we reached a vacant hall.

*Luke's pov*

I finally released her hand and paced back and forth frantic.

How could she not remember me! We were dating just 3 years ago! Unless that means when she got in that accident...no it's too early in this lifetime for her to go..yeah that explains it, but still..

I turned back her and slammed my hands into the locker above her, my face inches away from her sweet heart shaped one. Damn, she looked even pretty than before especially with her eyes glowing violet. I leaned my face closer to her' s, our lips lightly brushing as I clenched my eyes Shut.

"V, please remember me.." I whispered my voice wavering slightly.

I could hear her heart fluttering as her breathing became ragged and rapid. I smiled and pressed my lips softly to hers, desperate for her to remember me. She squeaked quietly but soon began to return the kiss, entangling her hands in my hair. Only when I held her face in my Palm did she step back gasping, her face flushed and her bottom lip red and puffy. An angry blush blossomed into her pink cheeks as she rose her hand slapping me squarely on the cheek. I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart.

"How dare you! I-I don't even know you!" She yelled angrily, ashamed of herself.

"I-I'm Luke, your boyfriend,"

"Listen here, Luke. I don't know who you think You are but You cannot just kiss me and think I'll come falling head over heels for you!" She exclaimed huffing as she stormed down the hall flicking her hand out to the side. I looked at her confused until everyone unfroze, continuing on with their lives leaving me with a hurt cheek and a broken heart..
