---------------------------------------------

Light was splashing its way through my window as I slowly opened my sleep filled eyes. Sitting up I glanced at my alarm clock. 6.50, I'm going to be late, fuck. Last night's memories came flooding back, Luke finding out, him wanting to get me help.

The kiss.

I shivered as I remembered the kiss. I stood up and popped my back and ankles and scurried over towards my closet. I grabbed dark blue denim jeans, a knitted stripped sweater and my black converse. I quickly combed through my thick brown hair and fish tail braided it to the side and put foundation and mascara on.

I was semi-satisfied with my appearance, but it'd have to do for today. I grabbed by bag and jogged down the stairs and say a quick 'goodbye' to my mom and walked out of the house. I got into my car and drove to school. I was actually excited to go to school, but at the same time I was terrified. I stopped at a red light, banging my fingers to the beat of The Fortunate by Cartel that was playing on the radio.

The light turned green and I sped towards the school, praying I wasn't going to be late. It was 7.25, I had to be there in five minutes. God, why didn't I set my alarm clock?

I finally saw the school and pressed a little harder on the gas pedal and bumped into the parking lot with three minutes to spare.

Quickly turning off my car and jogged into the building and speed walked to my locker on the first floor. Spinning the combo I got my Science, Algebra 2, History, and Honors English book.

Finally getting into my class I slid into my seat right when the bell rang. I sighed in relief, thanking The Lord I wasn't late. I lightly chuckled to myself. Wow, I'm that nerdy, someone slips into the seat next to me but I'm too busy to notice since I'm writing down the homework and notes that we needed to copy from the board. I heard a heavy sigh on my left but I still ignored it.

"Tori?" A masculine voice called my name. I smiled a little, but kept writing. I kept pulling down my sleeves. I didn't want anyone to look at me different, well more different than they do now.

"Tori. Psst, Tori." I knew it was Luke but kept ignoring him. He threw a note onto my desk but I simply flicked it off and onto the floor. It was a small piece of paper so the teacher wouldn't notice it. I heard Luke sigh and thankfully give up on his antics.

I was finished with the work and pulled down my sleeves after I grabbed my books from my bag. I sighed as I started to read Hamlet for English. It was an okay book, but it wasn't my favorite.

The bell rang about fifteen minutes later. I placed my marker in the book and closed it before putting it in my bag. I slung the heavy jean material over my shoulder and headed to trigonometry. It was torture through that class. It was gruesome, my teacher was awful.

"TORI!" I was probably hearing things, there were about three other Victoria's in this school. And all of them went by different names. Someone gripped my bag and spun me around. Luke was standing there panting, probably from running.

"What?" I asked, people were staring since I was the un-popular girl and Luke was talking to me.

"Why are you ignoring me?" He looked a little hurt, but I didn't really care. I mean the kiss meant something. But the school "social ranks" we're a whole 'nother story.

"I don't know, maybe because we're at school and it doesn't work that way." I said through clenched teeth, trying to pry his fingers from the hold he had on my wrist. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I need to get to class." I wiggled out of his grip and speed walked to trig.

***********************************

I sighed in relief as the last bell rang. I gathered my papers and books and walked out of history, to find Amber and her minions waiting outside of my locker. I quickly walked carrying my bag and deciding to take everything home with me.

"Tori!" Damn, so close. Her voice floated down the bare hallways. I tried to walk really fast, but to my luck, I tripped over the carpet and everything went anywhere and everywhere.

"Fuck." I muttered, rustling around trying to grab my papers. I heard Amber cackling and her heels clicking on the tile floor. I struggled to gather all of my papers, when I reached for my homework Amber's heel slammed down onto the back of my hand. I recoiled and sucked in a breath. The pain was searing all through my arm, the purple-blue bruise was already forming.

"Whoops." She said innocently while pickin up the paper and tore it in half. Her posse laughed as they started walking to some un-known diestiantion. I looked down at my hand and the purple-blue color was spreading. Yeah, I'm gonna have to ice it and wrap it.

I gingerly picked up the rest of the papers and went to Mr.Andrews class to get my extra homework paper.

Reaching the door, I knocked with my good hand. I heard a muffled 'come in' and pushed the door open. I kind of forgot he was the detention teacher and I wasn't surprised when I saw Luke sitting next to Amber with her posse sitting behind them, some other kids were loitering around but i didn't pay any attention to them.

"Mr.Andrews, do you have any extra homework sheets?" I asked quietly. He glanced up and gave me a questioning look, I was one of his best students and he admired my precision with everything.

"I thought I saw you pick one up earlier T." Yeah he called me T. I didn't mind, he was my favorite teacher. I slowly nodded then added quietly,

"A certain someone ripped it into pieces." I nodded towards Amber and he tsked his tounge, I lightly chuckled as he handed me the extra paper. He obviously noticed my hand.

"What happened?" He nodded towards my purple-blue bruised hand. I slightly shook my head. He was going to want an explanation tomorrow. I sighed and heard giggles from behind me. I whipped around and saw Luke looking at me. Interest passed across his tan face, I just rolled my eyes and stomped out of the classroom.

{Luke's P.O.V}

Tori looked amazing. Wow, I sounded like a prick on steroids. I chuckled softly while sitting in detention. I was bored, and Amber was sitting next to me filing her nails and smiling evilly to herself. I wonder what crawled up her short skirt today.

"Mr.Andrews, do you have any extra homework sheets?" My head snapped up, Tori was standing there. Her left had was purple-blue. I looked over at Amber and she winked at her. The nerve.

The only thing I could do was stare. As she easily conversed with the English teacher. He even had a pet name for her "T", I liked it. It suited Tori. Giggles erupted from Amber's small mouth and Tori spun on her heel and glared at me. She walked out of the classroom, her hips were swaying back and forth. I mentally groaned, why oh why did I ever get hooked on this girl. The cutter. I hadn't told anyone since I told her I wouldn't.

I wanted to help her but she refused to let me. I looked straight forward hoping and praying that Tori would be home. I followed her home yesterday, creeper right. But I had to find out more about her.

Mr.Andrews finally let us out and I quickly walked towards the door.

"Lukey poo, wait a second!" Amber called. I half groaned as I turned around and faced my worst nightmare. Amber was pretty and my girlfriend, but hell. I wanted to strangle her. Her black heels carried her swiftly towards me. Amber grabbed my leather jacket and slammed her pink lip sonto mine. I wanted to push her away, but she had a tight hold on my jacket. It wasnt until I heard a gasp that she pulled away. I looked and saw Tori, with her books and a wrapped hand.

She quickly walked away and Amber snickered beside me, I gave her a look and walked after Tori.

"Tori, wait up." I saw her retreating figure. I picked up the pace and followed her towards her car. Hoping to god she'd understand.
