I skipped through the halls, humming aloud to the songs Luke had recommended the other day. I have to admit he had a pretty amazing music taste. But, of course, there was a catch. I'd listen to his music if he read the books I'd recommend. And he agreed. He gave back 'The Great Gatsby' and when I'd asked him what he thought about it, he refused to admit it was amazing.

It's been a over month since he sent the day at my place. He does visit once in a while and he even stayed to play house with Lizzie. Yes, I did want to disappear. But, to be honest, it was cute watching him pretend to drink tea out of the cup Lizzie gave him.

Alex continues to tease me about being in "love" with him. Speaking of Alex, I introduced her to Michael and..

They hate each other.

I have no idea why but they cannot stand each other. Like, the first time I introduced them was when Michael came running up to me at the parking lot at the mall and Alex was there, so as to avoid awkwardness I introduced them. They seemed least interested but then a few days after that when Alex was at my place, Michael decided to invite himself and hang out. And, somewhere along the way of arguing about a movie, they ended up hating each other. Which, resulted in Michael walking out, slamming my door in the process.

Yeah, it confused the hell out of me too and it is beyond my understanding how those two can dislike each other. Cause', honestly, I thought they'd get along considering the similarities they have. Guess not.

I continue humming and walking towards a specific person. Luke.

I needed to tell him I'd listened to all the songs but I also I needed to get my book back from him. Mostly, just my book. Cause' I didn't trust him with it.

I spot Luke at his locker, further down the corridor and see Michael and their friend Calum, I think, standing next to Michael's locker which was right here.

Michael noticed me and smiled at me. I waved at him and continued walking past him towards Luke.

"Ah..Eliza!" Michael's voice stops me, making me look at him weirdly because he never calls me by my full name. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going over to talk to Luke." I tell him, trying to walk away but he steps up in front of me.

"Yeah..I don't think that is a good idea.." Michael says, rubbing the back of his neck and avoiding eye contact. His words confused me, making me wonder all the possible reason I shouldn't meet Luke.

"And why is that...?" I question, raising an eye brow and crossing my arms over my chest. Michael sighs, running a hand over his face. He looks over at Calum who just stares into space. He looked back at me and looked like he was thinking hard.

"Never mind. Go ahead. Sorry for stopping you." He finally speaks, moving out of the way and smiling at me. I smile back and nod, walking away from the boys.

I hear Calum say something along the lines of "You shouldn't have let her." and Michael replying something like "I don't think Luke could do anything to her."

Don't know what they're on about, but I really don't care. I continue walking over to Luke. Who was throwing, literally throwing, stuff into his locker.

"Hey, Luke!" I call, as soon as I get close to him. He slams the locker shut, making me jump a little. He didn't reply instead he just looked over at me and glared.

What's that supposed to mean?

"Umm...I checked out the songs you suggested! They were pretty good." I say, trying to diffuse the situation.
