The Role You Were Born to Play

Chapter 7 - Running for Covers

So far, I was doing well on hiding to avoid everyone else to see me. I spent my weekend locking up myself in my pad, watched Harry Potter movie marathon and starved myself to death. I had 13 missed calls from Chloe, 9 from Lizzy and 34 from Chelsea and a total of 126 text messages from all of them. They kept on texting 'wer r u?' 'r u ok?' And even 'r u dead?' text from Lizzy. And even barging on my door twice this morning. Too persistent right?

I was just ashamed for what just happened last friday on the Group meeting. I was pretty sure that if any of the guys had a chance to saw and talk to me, they're sure just gonna teased me to death, and I couldn't afford any embarrassment so far.

I was looking on my reflection at the mirror, I was wearing my school uniform for the first time. A pleated gray skirt and white fitted shirt with a red stripe tie with matching dark red coat with the school logo on the left side of the chest. I mentally grinned at myself before taking off for school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My plan on avoiding my friends was quite work. When Chelsea approached me after our fourth subject about what happened to me last weekend, I just told her that I was gone out of town with some old folks and forgot to brought my phone with me. I didn't think she buy it but she just nodded and change the subject.

I skipped lunch and just texted them that I had cramps and need to visit the clinic. I also sent a text to Chloe telling the same excuse I told to Chelsea.

I sank myself lazily on one of the auditorium chair. It was lunch time and so I was sure all of the students were on the cafeteria feeding theirselves.

Avoiding my friends was quite hard especially seeing Chelsea just nodded her head without any further questions. I knew her well, I knew that she wanted to ask me what was really happened to me last weekend but I kept on changing the subject to avoid lying on her even more. I was really guilty for lying to all of them and I hated it.

"Booyah!" I almost fell on my seat when some rude idiot shouted behind me. My eyes got wide and my hands involuntary went on my chest as if I got a heart attack. It was really freakin' shocked me to death. I rose on the chair and turned around planning to kill the culprit who had almost gave me a heart attack.

"You!" I yawped when I realized it was Luke who rudely shouted behind me. The asshole just laughed so hard in front of me causing me to became angry even more.

"You're freakin asshole! I almost had a heart attack because of your freakin childish games!" I yelled, too amgry from his act. Why on hell was his problem? I thought he was smart but he was acting like a totally idiot retard!

"Unfortunately, you didn't." He said sarcastically, winking at me.

"That's it." I growled, he was really getting on my nerve. I moved forward to grab him but he took off before I could manage to attacked him.

I ran after him, chasing thru the aisles, front rows, stage and even the back stage of the auditorium. Man, he was a fast runner. I was chasing him for about three minutes and I was already exhausted and out of breath while he looked like he was enjoying every pace he was taking. God, P.E was never been my favorite subject since middle school and I absolutely hated running.

I stumbled on the third step on the stairs at the back stage causing me to fell down on the floor. I squealed in pain when the floor hit my back. It was hurt like hell. I tried to get up but as soon as I stand on my feet, I felt the pain on my right ankle causing me to fall back.

"Aaargh!" I yelped, trying to hold back tears. This wasn't the time to be a cry baby.

"What the fuck happened?" Luke appeared looking bothered beside me. Really huh? I mentally rolled my eyes.

"What do you think asshole? I stumble and fell down on the stairs because of you!" I scowled. I regretted as soon as I realized what I just said. I was pretty sure he would just laughed at me just like he always did every time I got hurt.

"Let me see." He uttered. He reached for my leg but I resisted.

"I wont bite." He half smirked and carefully grabbed my right leg. He removed my flat shoes and examined my right foot for a few moment before he got up and went back on the chair where I was sitting earlier. He grabbed my bag and ran towards me.

"I'll take you to the clinic." He said and before I could protest, he bent down and picked me up, putting his one strong arm around my back holding my left arm and his other arm was around my back knees and carried me on a bridal style. I felt my cheeks flushed on embarrassment. This was the first time someone's carried me on their arms except for my family. I didn't argue on him, it was too much embarrassment last week and adding wasn't a good option for me.

We made it thru the hallway without talking to each other. I was too embarrass for what position I was on right now so I just hummed some tune in my head. I noticed some students were looking on us, some were whispering onto the others, some were even gaping, and much to my luck the girls were staring at me. More like glaring. Ofcourse, the popular Luke was carrying me on his god damn arms. Ugh, I hate too much attention.

"Hang-on. We're almost there." He whispered on my ear. I suddenly stunned, I felt the hair on my nape stands. What was he doing? I glanced at him, he was looking straight on the way. I furrowed my brows, this was the first time I got the chance to looked at him closely. Well because I treated him like an enemy, I never noticed his dark brown eyes was gently before. His lips were fine and thin, he also had cute dimples on his cheeks and he was a baby face. I wondered why I didn't bother to gazed at him before. He was absolutely handsome. Not like Jace handsome, but just simple good looking handsome.

Damn, why did I even wasted my time thinking about them? There were like a human disaster for me. A very bad luck whenever they near me.

"We're here." He said, snapping my thought about him. I looked at him wide eyes. God, he was really gorgoues. Why did I just noticed that now? Why not before?

"Deep thoughts huh?" He said sarcastically. I felt my cheeks burnt so I just shook my heads down. He smirked in amusement and tried to open the knob of the door.

"I can walk you know." I mumbled. He looked at me like he was thinking something serious before he got me down and helped to walk.

"No can do." He simple said. I tried to protest but the school nurse appeared.

"What happened?" Nurse Kelsey asked.

"She accidentally tripped and landed on her back." Luke exclaimed. I glared at him.

"What?" he asked in amusement.

"This is all your fault." I hissed at him. He raised his hand in defeat but he grinned like a cocky bastard.

"Can you leave us alone?" Nurse Kelsey asked Luke. He turned on his heels and started walking to the door, out of our sight. Thankfully.

I spent the rest of the day in the clinic since I couldn't walk because of my stupid sprain. Nurse Kelsey put a bandage on my ankle and advice me to took a rest for the day. Since no one would pick me up, I just took a nap in the clinic bed.

It was almost 5 when someone knock on the door, I thought it was just Nurse Kelsey but when Luke peep on the door I grabbed the pillow beside me and throw it to him. I feel that I need to punch something or better yet someone.

"Relax." He dodged before it could hit him. "I brought you something." I raised my left brow on him. He show me a brown paper bag and put it on the bed.

"What's this?" I asked examining it.

"I know you didn't eat lunch coz your too busy chasing after me." He said grinning.

"Really? You're so full of yourself." Well, more like how sweet of you.

"Open it." I opened the bag and found a bottle of water and a frekkin' cheeseburger. Yum! I felt my stomach gr
